I have to ask but in the first picture in the first page is that a 23 window on the top of the pic ??? are you going to get that one also Question


heh...it does look like a 23, but no. It's an old Ford Commercial Bus. Like a greyhound type. It was converted into a camper back in the day. There was another bus on this location which sooner or later I will go back for. It's a parts rig, but most defenitely worth the time to dig out. And by dig, I mean dig.

Congrats!

Is that a genuine white wall tire which stood the test of time?

Very Happy Very cool!! Proof positive they are still out there. Nothing beats the emotions when first finding it and striking the deal. You will never forget this one! I remember finding my Pillenstein bus as if it were yesterday. Very cool find! Congrats!!!

JoelH, I've been following your posts since you started, although I am sorry the PO found this site as your wallet took a real beating I'm sure. Hang in there and if you must sell other VW stuff not your Barndoor Wink Your persistence really paid off. When the kids are ready for college then sell Wink

I was looking at some pictures just now and realized that the cab divider panel was laying on the metal above the engine with all the broken glass from the rear window.....sure enough, I went out there and there it was! It's pretty warped and what not. The glass and metal on it is good though. Anyone make their own? if so, what sort of material did you use?

also, the VIN is 20-103233 just in case someone wanted to know.

Is there any way to find out where this came into the country at? I don't think there are M-codes on the buses this early right?

I've made panels with a Masonite sheet from Home Depot.
Probably not 100% "correct" though.

The only way to find out the original destination and the M-codes is to order the Birth Certificate.

considering that backing plate was in the mud for 20+ years....yeah, it is incredible. The soil around this place I guess is not too acidic the guy said, so I'm sure that helped out a lot.

Just send me the whole bus. I'll get it back to you in 20 years, give or take.

A friend of mine left for Fargo today. He offered me a ride, but it was poor timing. Hoping to be there in July for a wedding in DL. Gotta see that bus.
