We were amazed to see the reader interest in this Keith Black HEMI-powered rear-engine dragster gallivanting around as a Volkswagen Micro Bus. Well now, thanks to the Phil McGovern blog over on Crank & Piston, we spotted this awesome burnout footage showing how truly hopped up this Love Bus truly is. Enjoy!

Oh, the hot rodded, dragster VW, how we love you. You might have noticed lately that we're taking a real shine to them tricked out, old school Veedubs. When we came across this wickedly dragster-styled VW Micro-Bus we simply had to post it up. Found over on one of our favorite vintage auto shutterbug sites, Crank and Piston, this Bus has got it where it counts.

The brainchild of Wayne Allman, owner of the Intergalactic Custom Car Shop, located just outside Stratford Upon Avon in the United Kingdom, this wild machine is the result of countless hours to create this gnarly Type2 split-screen Double Cab Micro Bus. The fruit of five years of hard work, the VW Micro-Bus sports a Keith Black HEMI mounted "mid-ship" and is completely capable of 6-second passes. While we don't know what it's running currently, we'd just like to see it go.
