Meet the VW Bus fitted with tank-like tracks.
into a half-track. Known as the"Half-track Fox," the unique van just emerged from a full restoration to once again tackle mountainous terrain.
Kretzner wanted a van with good off-road capability that would still be easy to drive, according to VW. Not finding a vehicle that met those requirements, he decided to make its own.While it is a true half-track, the Fox differs somewhat from many mass-produced versions, which were most commonly used by Allied and Axis militaries during World War II.
Power is provided by the stock 1.1-liter flat-4, which produces just 33 hp. That limits top speed to 22 mph, which VW noted is a bit slower than an actual fox.Kretzner seemingly planned to put this unusual vehicle into production, even publishing sales literature. Two more are thought to have been built before 1968, but their whereabouts are unknown.
