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. _________________ Good Luck

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. _________________ Can't polish a turd!

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? _________________ Oil Capital Air Cooled
