Dude, anyone who tries to take the keys from Archon should fear for their life.

I doubt it. As that one is based on an armored truck.

I wonder how hard it would be to do that yourself. I have a totally wrecked VW van that had been sitting for 20+ years. Probably not the best platform. It could be used to set up a non driving version but man that would be cool to drive!

Depending on where and how its been sitting it might not be too bad. One of my cars had been sitting since '81 before I got my hands on it a year ago, and it's still in good shape because the owner kept it covered but well ventilated.
It's too bad Ohrbergs page isn't still up, he had a bunch of pics of it through the build (fabrication was fairly extensive). Even had videos of it driving around out in some dirt track, probably behind his shop or something. Sounded like it had a hefty engine, not sure if it was actually a souped up VW motor or not though.

Is it a split window? Thats the difficult part of the project....finding a split window VW van that isnt going to cost you 17 grand.

He pretty much would have to in order for it to push those back tires. I would guess It's probably got a 1914cc engine in it.

Just got home and found some more pics on my harddrive:

If that's too heavy for you, there's always the low-buck option:

That is amazing looks like a lot of fiber glass fabbing.

Well the problem is the old van has been sitting (sinking) into a forest floor in South Wester Ontario... not the driest place on earth, so it is way to far gone. And I don't think it has a split window but I haven't been out there for a long time.

Would have been AWESOME... Wouldn't be to hard to make it a split window.
