It seems that some people have become so attached to the van that they’ve decided to have it in their home, converting it into a billiard table as billiardsforum reports.
The custom pool table came to life near Seattle, being built starting from a 1965 Micro Bus. The vehicle was chopped and shortened so that it would offer the normal size of a pool table. The construction also included special materials, as the VW badge in the front is built from pearls and the rails from mahogany. The bus was even fitted with a household-compatible electrical installation. The headlights actually work if you connect the vehicle to a household outlet - could we call this a plug-in vehicle?
The vehicle is no longer functional, as its steering and engine have been removed in the building process. However, the table is registered as a trailer. It offers operational pockets but doesn’t include a ball return mechanism, also offering a storage space for billiard balls, cues and other necessary hardware. This is located under the engine flap (behind the license plate holder).
The current owner of the VW bus pool table has had to part from 8,200 of his $ to take this baby home. Would you?
