1970 VW "Mule"
These were built for the US Forest Service out West, back in the 70's by a company called "ASVE". I understand they used them to go up in the mountains to rescue snowmobilers that ran out of gas.
All metal body, fiberglass top (not easily removable). Rear torsion housing on back, is mechanically a '70 Bus. Pans (shortened) on forward is a '70 Bug. As far as I can tell, stock 1600 DP engine. Bus tranny has ridiculous gears, top speed 50 mph. Has built in tow bar and front mounted winch that operates from inside the cab. Windows go fully up or fully down. No back seat, the whole area is taken up by an aluminum 25 gal. gas tank. New tires and wheels. Includes spare tire, large skid plate (removed) and a mostly fabbed trailer hitch for the rear. Everything works except the horn. Starts, runs and drives well. Needs new ignition switch (part included with vehicle).
Very rare unrestored and collectible piece of VW history.
