I went out to see this bus. It is at a VW repair shop on Excelsior Boulevard in Hopkins, MN. The biggest reason that it isn't running is that it has no motor. The body (sheetmetal) is in halfway decent shape, not TOO much rust, does have some bondo in the back. It is missing both windshields and 3 or four left side windows. The interior is pretty much gone, the only seats are the front two. He said that he was flexible on the price and he needs to be. On the other hand I found a 1968 deluxe bus that had just been traded in to a used car dealer between Shakopee and Chaska. Someone drove it in from California (she got it in a divorce settlement) and got tired of freezing in the winter so she traded for a_CHEVETTE_! This bus has almost no middle seat. It also has no rust that I could see. It has a clock and the metal sunroof. They have the receipts for the rebuilt 1600 single port and transmission. The worst part of this on is the awful spatter paint job on it. The original was red and white. I talked with the owner right after they got it when<at that time, it was not for sale, their mechanic bought it. It is now for sale for $1585. I don't have the name and number of the lot but can get them for those that are interested. SSG Brad Spear 1972 (SLOWLY getting it together) Westfalia
