Doesn't this bear a striking resemblance to a custom van I remember from the mid 70's?

It's a Brubaker Box (minus the plank bumpers). It was a kit from the 70's.

There's a guy on Instagram that's restoring a Brubaker Box that he found covered in moss and super nasty. Always loved them. I'm an aircooled VW fan too, so a bit biased. I would love to get my hands on the Tesla body and swap in a different drivetrain. Lots of potential in it for sure.
