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? |

Sweet bay window deluxe trim, and the color split right at the trim is superb.
Honestly, the colors are kinda neat. _________________ .

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