Totally Stoked on the drive home right now, just picked up a Dove Blue Hightop Completely Stock, uncut, and unmolested from original owner. Well his wife, he passed away recently. Bus has absolutley now rust, no dents or dings. Windshiled has a crack, but that is it. 64,347 original miles, on it. Always wanted to find on of these deals you hear about. Got 5 minutes till bank opens and I can go bring her home. Will post pics!

Cheers!!!!

I'd go somewhere and get a can of paint made to the paint code. Treat those little spots on the driver's floor with rust converter and spray it with the matched paint. Get it before it turns into a problem. Nice find.I hope I canfind something like that one day. 8)

Thanks does anyone know much about the Safare' Editions? There are some unusual things about it compared to a Westfalia. Like it has a Septic tank as well as the Water holding tank, and some neat Knick Knacks as well in the interior.
