  • Andreas Stevens, aka Greyboy, is a prolific music producer and a vanning enthusiast. He speaks about how he found this Brubaker Box and why he decided to restore the captivatingly unusual vehicle. Also, we meet Mike Hansen - one of the original minds behind the Brubaker's creation.
    Music by Greyboy: Mustang's Groove, Introlude, See My Eyes, Mastered the Art

    eGarage is the result of years of experience in the Automotive world amongst four very different kinds of enthusiasts. One came from design and marketing, one from real estate and collecting, one from gaming and photography and one from technology and engineering. What brought us together was a collective dissatisfaction with the way Automotive content is portrayed on the internet.

    What would make this video even better was if they actually talked about the van.

    Just discovered this car. I really don't understand how anyone can think this is "ugly". The styling is just so clean, streamlined and well proportioned. It's IMHO the best looking van ever made and better looking than a lot of cars.

    The only reason I know about the Brubaker Box is Dj Greyboy and his constant posting of pictures on his instagram. It's great that you guys profiled him for this.

    Ive just finished the restoration of a Brubaker Box and this was fascinating to see the interview with Hansen from Automecca. I believe he has passed on now. Would have been so cool to meet him.

    OMG! Greyboy! I've lived your music since 94 when I found you while working at Downtown Records in NYC! Need to get up to speed with all you've created since then.

    Awesome style. I love the shots of the van driving around at dusk in the beginning with the '70s jazz fusion-ish music playing. That's fuckin perfect!!

    I love it. Mr. Brubaker invented so many things and people know nothing about him. He was involved with Nintendo. He made damn 8 track tapes. Such a legendary man.

  • @ewanmontgomery9696
    @ewanmontgomery9696 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I need one of these, just such a cool van. But I would put porthole windows in the back,.... And the deck it out with thick purple shag,..... Yes, I love the 70s!

  • @carpentershouse2876
    @carpentershouse2876 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    I noticed he had a rear marker light out on it? It's always the marker lights on the older generation vehicles that you could never keep lit, lol. I use to keep literally boxes of bulbs in the glove-box so I would keep from getting "fix-it" tickets! What a fun time it was back then. I've lost count of the VW conversions I've owned over the years? My favorite was a microbus that had a small block V-8 in it, lol. I always had an overheating issue with that microbus.

    I remember seeing one of these on ebay about 5 yrs ago but it didn't have the name of it they just called it a Volkswagen fiberglass body car and that it was rare so I couldn't look it up to see what it was and if I could fix it up for a while I thought it was a one off piece so I didn't bother to even look at it anymore because I thought finding parts would be next to impossible .

  • @charles_wipman
    @charles_wipman 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    The most pimp van of the history of the creation; sure that if someone restarted it's production it'll sell well with the vintage fever and everything. Überpimp; i wish we had it in Europe and in big number.

  • @TheBugbugboy
    @TheBugbugboy 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    remember this from kltcar magazine, still looks more modern than a lot of cars today, update the drivetrain, real bumpers and lower it a bit, it would sell

      @EdWatts 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No, the underpinnings were/are all Volkswagen. I almost bought one in 1990 which had been converted to Corvair power, with a "hotrodded" engine making about 250 HP; all considered, it was pretty fast. My wife didn't want it, though, so...
      ...I always wondered what became of that one. I agree with you about the weed.
