Not sure who Ken is, but Thebusco (Josh) got my order to me super fast, and the part was far cheaper than the others listed here. _________________ 1972 Ghia supercharged hotrod

Not sure who Josh is but Ken is my friend and the sole owner/operator of a VW Bus dismantler yard known as Busco or TheBusco. Great guy, fast shipping, great prices. I even get a kickback for saying that😀 _________________ Lead Mechanic: San Diego Air and Space Museum

Ken is an asset to the air-cooled community.
He was prompt & clear with communication, showed clear photos of the part in the ad, packaged up the carb extremely well, and the price w/ postage was very reasonable. Thanks Ken, much appreciated. _________________ www.zwerks.ca |

I purchased a couple of bus rear seat clamps from Ken, and they arrived well packaged and as expected. Working with Ken was easy, and I would certainly purchase from him again. _________________ -Harry

I mentioned to Ken I was looking for an air cleaner for my bus, and he sent me pictures of what he had at a good price. I received it quickly, well packed, and as expected. I would purchase from him again. He’s a good and honest Samba seller. _________________ -Harry

Got some Bay steering parts from Ken, he's old-school and super nice to deal with. _________________ My name's Steve and it's pronounced "Bust 'em" (cuz people think I'm Tom)

Ken's got my vote for best ACVW person to deal with.
Responds quickly and ships out as promised. _________________ -Kent-

Just got a rebuilt fuel gauge sender from Ken. He made the whole transaction smooth and easy. Can't wait to install it and have a working gauge again. Thanks again Ken! _________________ 1968 Deluxe "Clipper L" Type 2

Ken is the best. He always comes thru for me on parts. Never a problem. Thanks Ken _________________ "Most people don't know what they're doing, and a lot of them are really good at it." - George Carlin |
