DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!!!!! I was visiting in the area, so I drove about 45 minutes to get to the place. Yes, there is a lot of stuff there...........many vanagons and old buses/ beetles...probably 100-150 cars in all. The problem is that the fellow that owns the place just flat out does not feel like helping. I asked about 4 or 5 different parts........each one the reply was "those parts probably rusted off up here in Ohio".................I asked if i could scrounge around, and naturally that was a no-no...........I asked for a seat out of a 76 bus.....he showed me one, and wanted 470 for it....well, since I paid $150 for the WHOLE BUS, could not see doing that.................. It appears that he mainly restores late vanagons now, he had several in various states of repair present. BUT, AS I HAVE ALREADY SAID, DO NOT EVEN BOTHER TO STOP.
