WHEN I WAS RESEARCHING KIT CARS BEFORE I BOUGHT MY 79′ AXTEC KIT, I READ ABOUT AN AMPHIBIOUS VERSION OF THE BRUBAKER BOX IN KIT CAR MAGAZINE, OR KIT CAR ANNUAL, IT WAS MADE FROM PLYWOOD AND LAMINATED STYROFOAM SANDWICH WITH A VW OR MOTORCYCLE POWER TRAIN. GRAET WEBSITE BY THE WAY

I have a chance to purchase a 1971 Brubaker Box Van. Does anyone have an idea of the value? The van has been sitting for many years undriven. I have not actually seen van but am told it is great overall condition. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the info!

I would love to see more info on this.

I found the Brubaker Box interesting because it’s the car that was remodeled for an old kids show called Ark II. It became the smaller vehicle called the Roamer.

I agree with Mark on the Germany origin, but many other firms produced small minivans in europe in the fifties and sixties, and then in Britain. By 1972, dozens of such makes were already in the history books. Lloyd, Goliath, Tempo, Commer, DKW, Gogomobil, FIAT, Alfa Romeo….

I’m surprised that there hasn’t been a updated, re-interpreted version of the Brubaker not appear in the last couple of years.. Would be fun !
