Mooneyes 2008

By Rob Einaudi

Editor-in-Chief

The 22nd annual edition of the Mooneyes Street Car Nats was held this weekend in Tokyo. There was everything from rat rods to Mopars to crazy JDM rides. This "VW Bus" leaves me scratching my head–what the heck is it? I’ve got a ton more pics after the jump, and if you want to see all of them, go to HemiDave’s full Photobucket gallery. There’s also some pretty good coverage over at auto-otaku.com.

I am living in Japan right now, and have been for eight months. I see these things quite commonly, and am always curious as to what they are. They don’t seem to be kit cars, but an actual production thing. The Japanese, like the Europeans, get great stuff that never sees our shores. Someone should look up Mitsuoka, seriously.

That VW Bus is probably a Subaru kei car with a front end conversion. It’s a pretty popular mod…
