I saw a Wolff Motors plate at the 'Big Three' swap last week, QualCom Stadium, and remembered this post. But...the guy wanted $100 for it.

You don't happen to have a contact name or number do you? I'd like to try and barter with the guy. You never know.

Just days shy of her 50th birthday my bus is gone. My beautiful bus started to quickly rust even though I kept her covered most of the time. While the rust wasn't too bad, it quickly started to show up due to the daily salt air breeze and my proximity to the ocean. I decided it as better to have someone else enjoy her for many years to come, than for me to selfishly watch her rust into a valueless piece of metal. I'm happy to say that a man with talented restoration skills found my ad and we agreed on a price. He grew up taking vacations with his family in their Tin Top Westfalia identical to this one. While his kids are grown he plans on taking his grandchildren on camping adventures. Another generation will fall in love with the old VW bus.

Hey, I think I saw that bus for sale a few months ago in the hilly area of OB? If so, sorry you got rid of it; it still looked quite nice!

If you saw a youngish dude doing pulls in a yellow bug convertible with no license plate in May, that definitely wasn't me.

Yes, it was parked near Lee's KG TC. Good looking set up, trailer and a very nice bus.

Yeah, that was probably mine. That's just it. It was a very nice original San Diego bus. The rust wasn't bad at all, but seemingly started to spread over night with one tiny windshield rust spot turning into three and surface rust on the bumpers.
I'm sure I heard you as I hear most of the Aircooled VWs and Aircooled Porsches that drive by.
