Who would have guessed that Cagney was a Vee Dubber!

This is the ultimate case of "Pics or it didn't happen". They better have documented, pictoral evidence. Hearsay just ain't gonna cut in this instance.

If Cagney went to Woodstock, you think he walked around saying
'Yooouuu dirty hippy...'

Remember, Woodstock [the concert] was in Bethel NY, not Woodstock NY.

is that ad about James Cagney or a bus?

More of a description of him then the bus, his birthplace, ancestry etc.

What a dubious ad. It should state whether the bus comes with documentation to support this claim.

Thats funny and so true. For sure a sweet early camper, too bad they are probably asking 50k+ . Then again my price could be low!

I'd love to see more pictures of this. Is it original paint as well?

Very nice.

When i remember right, this westy was for sale in California in 2008.
A friend looked at it and said it was not in a good condition.The price was 20k, two years later i saw it in Germany on a big swap meet where the owner tried to sell it.
On the pics the westy looked good but in person it needed an awful lot of work.
Maybe the seller will offer it again on the Techno Classica this year.
Regards Arne
