Yes, it seems pretty unlikely to have been outside all that time. Some pictures after CLR would be nice, I'm curious!


CLR progress as requested! Still needs some work but it’s getting there

Thanx! Looking very good already. I love how the grey primer paint is shining through the Pearl white. Gives a great patina look. The roof and the gutters seems to be fairly oke and rust free on the pictures.

Great score, it could definitely benefit from a CLR treatment.

Sitting since 73’ this 67 kombi is officially retired from its tool shed duties and will soon be ready to camp! Couldn’t be happier to dig this thing out, looking for a set of walk thru seats if anyone’s holding…

Thanks for all the replies. The bus is in Florida. Not sure on much more. When it gets dug out I’ll try to get more information and make its own thread.
Thanks again for the replies!


Best of luck, looks like a fun extraction there!

^^ just for clarity...

the 21 window in the pic above is owned and run by pacific stage lines. you can see the similar paint job and lettering on the big busses in the back parking lot in the pic. pacific stage lines was a local (british columbia, canada) bus company and were not affiliated with greyhound. one of our hard core local veedubbers (bwaz, here on thesamba), his father in law used to work for this company and convinced them to by a few vw's for city tours! cool!

I saw pictures somewhere of a pressed bumper 23 that had what looked to be period greyhound logos.

Also of course the aforementioned fake 21.

It’s sat since the 80s or longer and is in poor condition.
I have no more pictures but plan a trip to go see it in the coming weeks.
