Aussie 14 second 1/4 split bus!!!
Do any of you old guys remember this bus from the early 70's, it ran 14 second 1/4 on the rear wheels:o
It was owned and driven by a crazy dude called Neville adler. needness to say it didn't have the original 36hp engine.

Scary thought trying to keep the wheels down, real sleeper, mine does 30sec 1/4 or thereabouts, sorry if that sounds like I'm bragging but 36hp
and 6v fully loaded inc camping gear.volma1
They are still there, just have faith you'll find one.

Neville lived next dor to a mate of mine during the 70s .He lived in Cromer on the Northern Beaches here in Sydney. His surname was Alder I think not
Adler and he was a very cool dude into chevy V8s and all things performance .
He had a shope which is still open and trading under the A.P.E. name (Alder performance engeneering ) in Winbourne road Brookvale just aroungd the
corner from Beetle wreckers. I dont know if he still runs it .
He is a master machinist and was an expert trouble /problem solver.
He was quite eccentric as attested to his many off beat projects ,he mated a holden 202 block to a ford six cylinder camshaft for some oblique reason
, and ran a registered japaneese delivery van with a V8 in the back.
