One thing we loved about our trip to Santa Pod Raceway was the variety cars that were fast that looked like they shouldn’t be. Like this old Volkswagen Bus, van, truck, or whatever you want to call it – we’re still undecided. It has a billet, air-cooled, 3.0L rear mounted engine, it’s shaped like a brick, and manages to crack 8 second passes in the quarter mile. Who wouldn’t love that?

I sorta want to know more about the 14 sec beetle and what’s been done to it! It’s easy to dismiss it as slow but go drive a stock one for comparison!
what happens to your legs when you crash a kombi nose first
What an awesome guy!
Cool ass vehicle. Even cooler owner. Good damn job bringing this to the world.
I love when fast cars have genuinely nice drivers. This video is a shining example
What a cool car and what a great guy
Wild ride!
I've never been to Santa Pod but these videos have me wanting to go even more, especially stuff like this
I bet that bloke has a shite load of friends, and what a sweet build! That truck is guna be in the 8.50 bracket class in no time!
I mean… of course its going to be faster than most "street" cars especially when you spend over 6 figures and youre not a street truck but a drag truck
i never thought a vw kombi/ute with a vw boxer 4 cylinder would ever run 8s. Even with its bigass drag wheels, parachute, turbo etc, I'm still gonna call this a sleeper. Props to the owner. Cool dude with a super cool vehicle
I love how kyle says VOLKSWAGEN…. Vookswagen
Thank you 1320 y’all are the best.
Type 2 VW people usually refer to these as Single Cabs and Double Cabs or Crewcabs for the 2 seat ones.
Looked at 1320 video for some Hot Rod Drag Week coverage and they didn’t show. First time back todays for this eh video.
My father had a 1959 VW Bus with the same color. It was the base model – simply a tin can with a motor and three bench seats. It had a headliner over the front seat but behind that only a single sheet of metal. No insulation be the engine compartment, so we had to yell at each other while driving. Right after he bought it, he backed into a pole and dented the car precisely between two side windows. Then he backed into another pole and creased the back bumper. A week later, did it again in the same spot. We had to step on the bumper to open the engine compartment. Then someone stole the hubcap off the front left wheel. While I was in the Army, he bought a second 1959 VW Bus in the same color. He was proud to send me the photo of both cars sitting side-by-side. I have no idea why he did that. The engine was so wimpy, it had the accelleration of a semi. Had to wait until there were no cars on the horizon before pulling out into traffic.
This is the nicest guy of all time. Haha awesome video
My first VW was a square back . Crazy all steel bus in the 8,s cool cool ride
What a cool dude and cool ride! Great video.
Next time you visit the UK Santa Pod you'll have to bring old cleetus with you I'd love to meet the pair of you
Super cool VW , and a Cool bloke driving it too , plus I never knew Christian Bale had a race team. It's his double
Real life video game car
This dude was so humble my heart fell when the transmission or whatever went hope that he gets back out there racing
Great video Kyle loved it
That's one scary drag vehicle! I would be very scared of crashing that thing!
I'd hate to hit the wall (or anything) sitting that close to the front bumper.
Im wearing the single cab shirt right now.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Not a bus.
Most call them busses
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
Dang that man seems soo humble and nice that truck is soo dang cool
That's very fast for a modified VW 4-cylinde new guy that built one of the first big bore stroke using corvair barrels and pistons with the small journal rods chey. Spacers under the barrels because the Rods so long.
