| I remember a story from a letter on a early 90s issue of HotVWs magazine, somebody wrote he found a 23 window BD shell in a (California?) desert...anybody remembers that or knows if it has ever been restored? |

I believe the 23 you are speaking of was found in Mexico and someone from Cali bought it/ got it. If that is the one, this is a pic of it circa 2007. I will let the owner chime in if they want to be known.
Almost every panel on this bus was beat/ warped or had bullet holes when they found it.

Thanks Norman, I knew that bus had to be somewhere waiting a restoration if not already restored.
Hope the owner will like to share its story. |

| It's been sitting in storage since that last pic. Might be time to pick it up and roll it like it is. |
