It'll be there. I've been trying to clean it up so it's a little more presentable, but it'll basically be barn fresh at the show.

JoelH wrote: Picked this up from a nice gentleman about an hour away from me. Far as I know, It's been sitting since the late 70's maybe early 80's. Looks to be the original motor which still turns over nicely. Has the original crank handle and everything! Very solid bus. The driver's side rocker panel is rusted out on the inner and outer panel, and the passenger's side rocker has some rust also. That is pretty much it for the whole thing. It's amazing. There are a few dents that I think with a little work, could be brought back out. There are some bullet holes in it too. All Character ;)

Just so nobody is confused, I found that the crank handle was not original and the motor is out of a '56 bus. Just to get that out there in the open.

So Joel, where is your ad?

Sun Nov 20, 2011 9:30 pm

it's non existent right now. It's only word of mouth. Lots of interest via Facebook. I'll see how that goes before I list it on the samba.

Cool. Gonna hafta look up the new owner next time I make the trip to Blase'.

Will the new owner be letting us in on his/her identity? Or are they going to keep it to themselves?
