Most people probably associate Volkswagen with its iconic Beetle. However, only a few know that in the 1970s people used to transform their little “bugs” into Super Buggers. These hybrid RVs were used for cross-country trips and the bugs-on-drugs looked like VW Microbus’ little brother.
The first VW Beetle was constructed in the 1930s, but The Super Bugger was the brainchild of a third party company that made and sold the unusual vehicle for $6,000 in 1975 (which is about $32,000 in today’s economy). They used fiberglass paneling to build a small living space behind the front seats, and those who liked to travel would insert either a mini-bedroom or a modest kitchen inside to ride with convenience.

I would in no way go anywhere near a van labelled "Super Bugger". On an unrelated note, I'm English.

Looks neat, it just don't look legal. But I like it, I always wanted a Yellow Bug and even put black spots not the orange ones, it just don't look right. I also wanted it with the black bra on the front with eyes including lashes 4 the head lights. That was My dream car. Now I have this . :)

Here is the website with My Buggy as the picture did not go into the post. It shows more of My dog then it does the buggy but it gives You the visual effect, That's what matters. The site is safe, it is only a pic I took @ https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1322112491216041&set=a.111176678976301.20990.100002519088429&type=3&theater :)
