1971 VW Phoenix Van Conversion Transporter Custom classic Beetle Chevy Corvair

The write up on the this van is from when it was built. there is a website that tells the history of this cool van . http://www. geocities. ws/phoenix0002/ check it out. I will post pictures of how it looked then and how it looks now. nbsp; The inside still is the same just needs a good cleaning and some of the headliner is missing because it has been sitting for many years. I have the title and it does still run I just have not driven it so I don't know how the brakes are. there is pressure at the pedal. The paint is cracking in some places and should be redone. nbsp;the underside seems pretty good but this van does need restoration but in my opinion its worth saving. its a great conversation piece. Please ask questions and make offers as because I have no idea what its worth. nbsp; I will help with loading if it sells Thanks for lookingPhoenix II Features and SpecificationsChassis: 1971 VW Transporter - four-wheel independent suspension - front disk brakes - manual gearbox steering - air conditioning can be added - seats seven with removable center seat Engine: - 110 hp Chevrolet Corvair air cooled six cylinder (35. 00 miles since rebuild) - dual carburetor normally aspiratedTransmission: - 2-speed Corvair automatic Body: - fiberglass over urethane foam sandwich - 2. 5 inch tubular satin black bumpers - Double sunroofs - Interior geodesic lighting Paint: - Imron Urethane metalflake Front door: - electric latch / manual lift / pneumatic lift - front slider windows Side door: - electric power dual ballscrew upper door / electric linear actuator lower stepDriver dimension upper limits - Height: Six feet tall to fit in driver seat under ceiling - Weight: 190 lbs to fit behind steering wheel This van was the second of two fiberglass Phoenix vans I built. It was finished after three years of evenings and weekends in the mid 1980's while I worked at an aerospace firm. In 1998 I sold it. Enjoy your tour around my custom car website. I saw plans for this vehicle in a 1978 Popular Mechanics magazine. The Quincy-Lynn Company was the designer. Look at designer Bob (Quincy) Riley's website. He shows how homebuilt constructions takes place. This fiberglass space van started out as a 1971 VW van. The entire body is made from raw materials. It's a fiberglass/urethane foam sandwich construction over a metal roll frame. The foam is cut to shape. glued over the metal frame then the entire shell is fiberglassed inside and out. I modified Quincy-Lynn's plans to make it much more functional. I put sliding windows in the front doors and built a power clamshell curbside door for a real spaceship effect. The front has five headlights which makes people scratch their heads as if they are looking at a UFO. I also utilized a Transvair adapter kit to install a six cylinder Corvair engine and automatic transmission to give it more pep and more glide. Due to the increased utility. this van has seen the US from Florida. to Indiana. to California. It's not a van that's parked in the garage 350 days a year. It gets out! And wherever the Phoenix II goes. it's not just a trip - it's a parade. I've taken long distance vacations with the Phoenix II to the beach in Galveston. Texas; the Indianapolis 500; Hollywood. California; Lake City. Colorado; Orlando. Florida. Wherever the Phoenix II is. heads turn and crowds gather.
