>Is it true that vw buses were >manufactured in mexico, in the eighties, and were type II's? >Do they have upright motors, and in that respect similar to the 71's. >or did i just get my leg pulled a few inches.... this is what I've heard, Split window buses were manufactured up to about 1975 in mexico/brazil, then the hybrid Brazilian Bus was produced until the early 90's. This hybrid was a 23-window split bus with a bay window front - weird (check it out on my web server http://146.87.136.48 ) They make the standard looking Type II bay window at the moment, but it has a high top extension of about 10 inches and a VW Passat engine in the back with a radiator added to the front. Lee.
