Sounds like it has a cool backstory if its is true. "..1947 International Bus with a genuine 23 window Volkswagen bus as a bedroom and a 54 Chevrolet as the kitchen stand up area. Ken Casey who did the the original trip to Woodstock in the original Further Bus and was friends of the Grateful Dead. His son built Further 2 and did a tour of the US severial years go visiting Merry Pranksters throughout the U.S.is a 47 International. Further II is going to Woodstock this year. This bus is currently registered with antique 1947 plates here in Oregon as a antique motorhome it does have a bathroom and kitchen it does need work and the engine is not running, it has low compression . Our plans were to install a Cummings straight 6 diesel engine out of a mid 90s Dodge pick-up but sadly my mechanic passed away and now the bus is up for sale. It will be going on EBay with a starting bid of $19,500. Before it goes on eBay I will take $19,500 or best offer.

Interesting how the text never actually states that this bus is the one used for that trip. Just that the trip happened. I call bullshit.
Also, I am pretty sure this is the same bus that has been sitting in a field on a goat farm in the Salem/McMinville area for a few decades.

Some think that if your beetle has a padded dash, it's an engine donor. Some think that if it has push button door handles, it's a boat anchor.
Do what you want. Ignore the elitists. Drive your VW. Enjoy life. |

That could have single handedly put J.C. Whitney out of business!

So that's what happened to my green hood and deck lid! Can hardly tell it didn't come that way.
