I believe that is one of those build it yourself cars that Mechanix Illustrated featured back in the 80's.
They were all designed by one guy and he has a website where you can still buy plans for them.
I was tempted to build this cool little 2 seat car that got over 100mpg. It used a frame and drive-train from a Triumph if I remember right, and was powered by a kubota diesel.
Here is the site:

Here is the Boonie Bug:

The 100mpg car called the Centurion
http://www.rqriley.com/cent.html
Or the latest one @ 125mpg, would make a nice towd.

Lots of cool looking vehicles there

Whoa, down big fellow, down. Ain't got it yet and when I do get it, you can
bet I will have gyped the PO out of a good coach. I'm never again going to
pay good money for a bad coach that needs more good money tossed into it.

I have that all planned out Gene. I have an enclosed trailer that is
outfitted as a portable motorcycle garage. No more cars towed behind any
motorhome unless there's just no way around the issue.

Interesting!
I have a motorcycle and would like to use it as a toad.
Any pics of said trailer??

I tried using my Harley as a toad and found:
took too long to unload and load
had to unhook trailer to back up on one way road
when ever I wanted the toad it was too , wet, cold,hot,windy, etc to ride
could not carry friends while camped
dangerous for wife and me
as a life boat, it sucked
so finally gave away the trailer, (kept the Harley;>) and bought a Tracker
for a toad.

Gene,
I'm going to look at a VW 1.9 Liter TDI motor on the weekend to install in
the Tracker. Acme Adapters make a kit for the conversion into the Tracker.
