This VEEP was up for auction in January of 2010.
"This is the cutest little machine that I think we have ever restored.It's a Veep!An all steel Jeep body on a custom tube frame with a ball joint Beetle front endand swing axle rear end with an upright 1600cc VW engine tucked neatly behind the tailgate.
This particular example was built in the 1980's by Hadley Engineering in California.The car was first owned by a 1980's child star and was his first car when he got his license.This actor was in the film Cocoon as well as D.A.R.Y.L and a whole host of TV appearances as well.Tired of the Hollywood spotlight, he quit acting and went into photography and has become successful in that path as well.The car went into storage at some point in the 90's and sat outside in a lot north of Hollywood until we bought it andjumped into the restoration. Instead of restoring it just as it was, it was decided to turn it into a VW poweredversion of the legendary and highly collectible "Jeep Surrey Gala"

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3350. Here's another one from SAMBA
t's not quite a VEEP, but I've lumped it into that category none-the-less.
"These were built for the US Forest Service out West, back in the 70's. I understand they used them to go up in the mountains to rescue snowmobilers that ran out of gas.
All metal body, fiberglass top (not removable). Rear torsion housing on back, is mechanically a '70 Bus. Pans (shortened) on forward is a '70 Bug. As far as I can tell, stock 1600 DP engine. Bus tranny has ridiculous gears, top speed 50 mph. Has built in tow bar and front mounted winch that operates from inside the cab. Windows go fully up or fully down. No back seat, the whole area is taken up by an aluminum 25 gal. gas tank. New tires and wheels. Includes spare, stock 5-lug bus wheels with snow tires that hold air (4 plus spare). Everything works except the horn. Starts and runs well. Needs new ignition switch (part included with vehicle) ..... Very rare unrestored and collectible piece of VW history. Asking $3,350 No trades, please. "

"This is a 1952 Jeep Willy ready for some additional love and fun. This has a brand new 350 motor with less than 100 miles on it. We replaced the steering gear box as well as the the steering linkage. We put a brand new disc conversion kit on the front. New power disc brake set up and aluminum radiator.
Picked up a new gas tank as well and has mustang seats for the front. We also have a rear seat that is not pictured. We put a turbo 400 tranny in this that only had 30,000 miles on it. Here are the things it still may need......not all the gauges work. There are no brake rear lights, but there is a brake switch on the brake pedal so just needs to be wired. Transfer case has never been worked on or replace so may need attention. You will also need to get the locking hub caps before being able to engage the front axle.
We are more interested in trading for something you may have that is KOOL......but must be KOOL. Here are some things that we would consider. Early air cooled Bug, Thing, or a scamp trailer."
TJ shared this rare offload VW-based Brazil vehicle with 4WD that's up for auction. It's located in Brazil, but shipping is available to Europe. There are ton of pics of the Jeg that's up for auction along with pics of related brochures.

"In the 70s, VW Brasil tried to join the Brazilian army with the VW VEMP. Two prototypes were created (one 4X4 and one 4X2), the car was created entirely in straight and simple lines for easier maintenance.
The engine would be 1600 already used by cars of other VW models. After the project was rejected for political reasons (cars with a rear engine would no longer be accepted by the army) the two prototypes ended up being used internally by the factory.
JEG emerged when VW presented and asked for help for the vehicle transport truck company Dacunha in Brasil. With the project’s cancellation, they took over and created the civilian Jeep.
The vehicle was introduced to the public in 1976, and launched in 1977. The vehicle was made in a Kombi chassis with a 40 cm smaller wheelbase, galvanized sheet metal body, boxer engine, Kombi suspension and brakes and a 55-liter tank plus 20 liter gallon."
This veep had a good description and some interesting pics.
"this is a 1951 M38 body put on a custom built chassis, chassis was built by a former welding instructor, not mickey moused together...running a VW bug front axle and the rear section of a VW bus...looks like a real jeep but will do 70 mph down the highway, get 40+ miles to the gallon, and fly thru the woods like a dune buggy, it has independent suspension at all corners...It is fully street legal, titled and inspectable...it has custom vehicle title...until you look under it you would swear that it's a real jeep The body hasn't been hacked or cut up at all it has normal surface rust, nothing major...the motor is in the back and a cover has been built to go over the motor, the motor sits where the back seat was...the gas tank and battery is under the hood up front...
Motor: 1800cc dual port from a bus, new carb, new alternator...runs strong
trans: deep ratio, 4 speed posi, bus tranny (stronger)
It has longer travel shocks at all four corners, brand new tiger top soft top and doors...factory roll cage...custom bumpers, the front bumper is set up with a tow bar that swings down so the vehicle can be towed very easily..."
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
This is an unusual vehicle that is part of a business. It's the whole business that's for sale. The jeep itself is sort of an electric VEEP.
"This is truly a one of a kind vehicle and business opportunity for any EV or automobile enthusiast.
For sale is a custom built Willys electric jeep. The details of this vehicle are hard to describe, but it is essentially a 1949 Willys body sitting on a custom frame, VW front end drivetrain , and custom all Electric drive!
This vehicle was built as a training and demonstration vehicle for ACE Technologies. See the website www.nopgas.us for more information. This vehicle has been used to train hundreds of EV enthusiasts and has been seen numerous times on TV and in parades.
For sale is the vehicle, with all of the technical documents, schematics, etc. AND the complete rights and ownership of www.nogas.us The domain will be transferred to your name and If you like, I will continue to host it free for the remaining of the year. Also included is the "EV-101 training materials and DVD which have been sold to hundreds of enthusiasts wishing to build their own vehicle.
This is a 144V vehicle, capable of driving at highway speeds. It needs a bit of TLC but is an excellent project vehicle or special events vehicle."
UPDATE: **SOLD** was $5200
(06/11/2018) TJ spotted this one. This was sold out of Costa Mesa, the place where Hadley Engineering was based. So, it could be a VEEP.
"This is a chance to own a rare VW Veep it's made to look like a Willys Jeep. it's a kit car from the 70's and 80's out of Costa Mesa CA. per the previous seller. It's a blast to drive. I love Willys Jeeps and VW's so when I saw this last year on Ebay. I thought, why not, no wife to stop me. LOL. Well it's just too much fun to sit in the garage, no time to enjoy. Fun to tinker with. I shipped it to the NE from CA had the seats redone. Removed the back seat (still have somewhere) and took off some pin strips. It looks good from 20 feet and still needs some tinkering with some of the electrical items. ground issue i think. Wipers are not hooked up and the horn doesn't work. I can't figure out how the parking brake works or maybe it doesn't. I bought it with a 1971 VW title and it came back from PA DMV titled as a 1947 Willys. it's got a bug front and rear end, air cooled VW 1835 dual port VW rebuilt motor, new carb per previous owner. I really don't know too much about these."
UPDATE: Still Available.
(07/30/2022) This has some modifications.

"I have a 1947 CJ2A 350 small block and 4 speed sm465 2wd project in the works. The mounts are all welded in and I many of the parts. I have body panels that need repair as well. Decent fenders grille and windshield. I’m looking for trade for very small hard shelled camp trailer like a scamp or similar or a Harley, any year or V-twin model also interested in a Kawasaki Drifter made to look like an Indian (either motor is ok).
Let me know what you have, basket cases are fine too. Preferably an 84 or newer but I’m willing to see what’s out there.
Big items the jeep needs is to complete the steering setup and get a 2wd DJ front axle(I found one) I will get it and pass it along with the trade. I have brand new bearing and pistons in the 350 and bought used recent rebuild heads, may need to be taken apart and put together again same parts, mostly there. Big AMC 20 rear axle with 11” brakes, have a dual hydraulic master cylinder and a set of swing pedals. The frame was sandblasted. Has new tires but very hard as load rating is high. Im sure this would be fun when completed.
I value it between 2500 and 3500 (with front axle) and will keep working on it."
UPDATE: Still Available.
(07/27/2022) This may be a VEEP project, but I can't tell for sure. Includes many parts.

"Make this Jeep your own! Assemble/build it, pick the paint colors of your choice and have pride of ownership. Or, sell parts at a significant profit. Parts purchased well over $12,000 and selling total package for only $5000. System min mileage is 300, but it has 0. Car has to be built. New everything!
My Dad started to build a CJ 3A Jeep with all new VW parts and has the rolling chassis with rims and all weather tires and the steel body. He did start to put car together, but due to health issues is unable to complete project. He has about 90 plus percent of the all the parts, including new engine (1600 vs 1200), transmission, breaks, suspension, gas tank, exhaust system, lights, fender, grill, seats, dashboard gauges., windshield (no glass)... plus more.
I am not an expert but my understanding is that beyond assembling/building the car, it will require some fabrication for dash, steering column, and gas, break, gas pedal structure... Items can also be bought as a bulk purchase to sell parts for resale for a profit. Again, they are all new and never used. Everything cost well over $12,000 but he is willing to part with it all as a bulk sale for as little as $5000 for everything."
