Volkswagen Bus by Cortland Finnegan
What if a Volkswagen Bus was used as a
time machine in Back to the Future instead of a DeLorean? Yes, we can’t imagine
the iconic film without the gull-winged, stainless-steel bodied car, but NFL
cornerback Cortland Finnegan did, and that’s how this 1967 Volkswagen Bus came
to be.
The idea behind it was to build a car
that embodied the spirit of the movies, so Finnegan commissioned BLVD Customs
to use their imagination in order to create a one-of-a-kind machine, inspired
from the trilogy. And as the DMC-12 was played out, this Bus seemed like an
original approach.
Upon completion, the car was presented
with a stainless steel vinyl wrap, which mimics the DeLorean’s body, and
gull-wing styled doors, although the Volkswagen still retains the stock sliding
side door.
Inside, the car has been remodeled and
refurbished, using a color scheme reminiscent of the Back to the Future logo.
Moreover, the driver’s seat was transformed into a cockpit, equipped with a
time machine module and flux capacitor.
Sure the BUS would’ve been a great time
machine if somehow Doc Brown and Marty McFly traveled back to the groovy 70s,
but thank God they didn’t. It probably wouldn’t have reached 141 km/h without some engine modifications anyway.
The car is currently listed for sale at
Music City Motor Cars for US$ 150,000.
