I went to an auto swap meet here in San Diego on Saturday. It is called the "Big Three" swap meet and was free admission. It was a nice day, so what the hell, I decided to look around. Despite the name, there were VW parts all over the place. I met one guy with a 59 Micro Deluxe ragtop with safari windows - he was about half done restoring it. Talked to him for about an hour tryin to get him interested in the GNATT tour and tryin to get him to sell me his 61 single cab that he says he has in his garage. Anyway, I walk around some more (like two more hours) and I am not even half way through! This thing was huge! I found out it is a once-a-year event. Oh, I guess I'm rambling, huh? So a little while later I stop and talk to this woman with a 72 Camper. I stopped cause there was a tent attached to the camper with a for sale sign on it. The tent is yellow, with a dark blue top, and about 6 by 9 feet. It has a screen door with a canvas cover that is striped. The tent is held up by aluminum poles, and attaches to the rain gutter of the bus. It also has extra canvas that attaches around the sliding door to make a good seal against bugs. The tent is in great shape except for a tear in the front (repaired) that she said was done by a hungry raccoon. The tent has no identifying marks on it but was obviously made for a VW van. She swears it came from a 67 Westy. So how much? She says she wants $400 for it. If it's really a 67 Westy tent, it sounds like a good price. She is a nice lady and who knows, she may sell it for less. Says they got a bigger camper now and don't need the tent anymore. I asked if I could post her phone number to this list and she didn't have a problem with it, so here it is: (619) 445-0296 I think this is her husband's work number. Hope someone will be interested... -David ============================================================================= David Schwarze '73 VW Safare Custom Camper (Da Boat) SAIC Comsystems '73 Capri GT 2800 (Da Beast) San Diego, California '87 Mustang Lx 5.0 (Da Bruiser?
