I owned Money Green for about two years in the mid 90's, planned to restore it (this is before it was painted green). I sold it back to Robert and then he did the green thing. I added some good parts to it, like nice doors. It had lots of original paint before it was green, I have lots of pics...but all with film. I sold it because I found a better 54 up in North Florida at Gary Kemptons 356 place. Then I sold that because I bought the Tom Broulette 53 (April). I miss the 53 bus, it was awesome. Sold it to buy the Ritchie King 54 RHD, which in retrospect, was a mistake.

Roberts place was bizarre. Half warehouse barber shop, half vw collection. He had some nice stuff for Florida. I wasn't aware that he was still in the hobby?

Can you take some phone pictures of a couple of these, and post them up?

I will when I unpack. Just moved less than a week ago. The photo album boxes never seem to be the first ones to get unpacked....

Sweet bay window deluxe trim, and the color split right at the trim is superb.

Honestly, the colors are kinda neat.

It’s like something your local generic car painter would come up with if you gave him free reign

Some people are unable to drive a stick, or are unwilling to learn to drive one.
