Hi all, finally got my 67 west yesterday evening, delivered to the Border warehouse in Montreal.
It made the long trip from Richland in washington state, picked up by AAAuto transport on Dec.15th, and delivered with no damage but with lot of ice in Montreal.

After that I took the bus paid canadian fees and drove it to Quebec city, around 150 miles with absolutely no issues.
Here is a spot of the bus somewhere else around Trois Rivières.

Now I will wash it and prepare it for spring and summer trips.
Thanks Jay about your hosnesty, this bus is what I was looking for. Not a show car, but in great conditions, runs and brakes strong, equiped with all of the original westfalia parts, plus extra parts like front and rear roof rack, and children bed.
American dream is continuing.

Regards.
