Barndoors (manufactured from 1950-55) are special as they are the earliest VW Type 2 models and feature a very large engine compartment opening, hence the name.

This particular bus allegedly spent it's life at a Swedish explosives factory from 1953-83. Always stored indoors and only used in emergency situations, it's a fantastic survivor. But with only 25 HP in it's original configuration, it wasn't the fastest means of transporting the injured. But hey, what's the rush anyway? At least the patients would be going in style, right?

Update - auction ended 3/7/10, did not meet reserve at $30,100.
Hat tip to Carson.

And you know where the Krankenwagen takes you? To the Krankenhaus of course! Seriously.
I'd prefer the Krankenhaüß. Looks more-exotic. And tougher.
