About 20 years ago I bought a '70 blue california weekender to replace my rusty red '70 Sportsmobile camper ( the rear torsion tube had rusted through and broken). I am on the east coast.
the Blue van came stripped on the interior ( had one old bean bag seat in it for the passengers) and had no motor or trans . It was a real project to move the entire camper package from the old red bus to the new Blue weekender ( including cutting in the Sportmobile pop-top) .
As part of swap I took the wiper motor out of the red Bus and found a sheet of S&H Green trading stamps on top of the motor( you old timers may remember them) . WHen I removed the old wiper motor from the blue bus to replace it I found a sheet of Blue trading stamps ( california version of S&H) on top of the motor .....It was Karma
10 years ago bus was sold to a hippie and his girl friend .... they were going to drive it back to california... |

Yay! Blue Chip Stamps!

I have seen those things pop up with the kids these days. It blows their mind to see an old guy kick it around. Just have to ice those knees afterwards! |

Revival time. Been a minute.
Found this cool pin in a 40 ford (sorry not a bus but I still love finding stuff in old cars!)
I wish I remembered what bus I was working on when I started this thread!
