68 1/3 - got kick-started May '43.

2 buses - well used '69 that I put a '65 Corvair engine & tranny in after rebuilding both, then added an Adventurewagen top - what an awesome combo; 2nd is an '87 that I bought new & had Ed put another A-wagen top on - original everything, broken in properly, uses no fluids, will still top 80+ / peg the needle (on 80 east of Reno ;<) & pass CA smog no prob.
