I've been watching Dennis Collins' Coffee Walk Video's for about 3 months.
But I was really surprised that he was going after a VW.
He is a Jeep guy, runs Collins' Brothers Jeeps, and really is Jeep Nerd, which I'm saying as a complement.

I hear there’s an episode coming soon with some guys attempting to fix it on the spot and drive it back to the east coast.

Found a pic I had of a bus he acquired in 2019 he had for sale for around 40K as I recall.

It has semaphores, what a shame Dennis Collins got a hold of it.

Got to agree, just a semi-famous flipper, who uses a borrowed lame catch phrase... Rolling Eyes

Just passed through Nashville, Tn. I have posted some stuff on my Instagram @graysvws and Facebook Grayson McGill. My friends have also videoed a lot of the journey that will be posted to YouTube once the trip is over

I can't stand Dennis Collins long enough to watch the video and see the history of the bus but what I find interesting about this bus from the pics friends have shared with me is that it appears to be a legit Euro bus with a KM speedo and semaphores but logoed for a US business. Now don't jump on me, I understand cars were imported and used and blah blah blah. I'm simply saying that it is interesting to me that it survived in this condition without having turn signals added or a speedo swap done (or at least one of those km/mph stickers added to the face) at some point like so many other euro cars. I mean, trash those trucker mirrors and give it a scrub and this is an awesome survivor!

I hear the OG motor is still with the bus too? It has the far back shifter so is it a split case trany and is it still in there?

you just might have to watch the video to have all your questions answered.
