Sorry Jim
My mind not what it use to be, you are representing Kansas .

I googled 1973 VW Bus and one of the sites that popped up was oodle . There about 8 VW Buses listed and the very last one was a Wild Westerner For Sale in Kansa City. I did not see a way to contact the seller and as mentioned the ad was 2 years old. The ad did not mention a club so I feel the seller was not aware of our existence.
If i can figure a way to paste a link I will.

Cuz

Here's the original ad:

https://yupyi.com/details.php?id=18003747

Not my bus. I'm surprised that I hadn't seen anything about it on the local VW Club page nor heard anyone ever mention it.

Looks like a pretty uncommon 9-passenger model, with the non-walkthrough front!

I'm not sure if this was already posted in here.
just sharing if you're interested, sure they have the year wrong, but hey.. hard to be picky when this is your paint scheme.

I made at least 6 calls to Greenlite Diecast Toys in Indiana about a year ago to see if they would produce the Wild Westerner on the correct body style. Each time I called it was always a answering machine and no one would return my call.

I doubt they will sell well due to the fact they are not at on a type 2 body.

I have added the Wild Westerner for sale in Oregon on ebay maybe the new owner will contact us.

Also the Wild Westerner that was listed on oodle in Kansas (2017) without the serial number.

Thanks for everyone's help

Vwwestyman, that WW in Kansas was here in Calif about 3 years ago.
The cleanest original I have ever seen. I think he sold it for about 20-25K. Well worth the price because it was almost perfect.

Update 1-4-2021
Mystery Solved !
Daniel a Wild Westerner owner in Mexico reported a sighting near Guadalajara a few years ago.
Yesterday I received a text with pictures from Angel Tadeo in Michoacan Mexico who owns a Wild Westerner.
Looking at a map this location is very near Guadalajara therefore I believe this Wild Westerner is the same one reported by Daniel.

We now have four confirmed Wild Westerners with serial numbers in Mexico, this makes me wonder why only one has been reported in Canada and was purchased after our club was started in 2012 Question

I suspect that maybe one or more may have made its way to South America.

The Green Wave is coming.

Preferably a fixer-upper.

A fake Dormie would be sweet, tho.

Hello Ned

Looks to be original paint no damage and rust free, nice.
Do we have it listed on our master list?
If not please contact the new owner and try and get a picture of the m code plate. Tell the new owner I will send free of charge certification decals for the Wild Westerner.

Well, I'm responsible for reporting out the VIN of the Cedar Falls, Iowa one. The owner is a teacher at a neighborhood school and he drives it to work sometimes.
It was sitting in the rear of the VW dealer service area one evening and I cruised by an got out and looked at it, glancing quickly at the VIN and memorizing the last 6 digits. I was accosted by someone from the dealer, and they don't really like it, but it's cute and they agreed. So a couple minutes peeking in the windows and walking around, they were cool with.

Just to tie together: this is 2232186727
Just going thru old picture files. Don't think I ever posted these. Owner parks it near my house when he is working. In truth, I've never talked to the owner.

Thanks Al
It would be great if you would leave a note that I would like to contact him/her in regards to registering his/her Wild Westerner.

@David looks to be in very good condition. A suggestion without seeing the entire rear bumper you may can put a jack under the drivers side corner and maybe roll that corner back up a little. Put a block of wood inside between the top and bottom of the bumper so the bottom only will not bend therefore changing the shape of the bumper.
I issued certification decals to the previous owner for your Wild Westerner and I would to know if you received them.

As far as your questions bring em on.

Well ask away!

Cool Bus, I really like high tops, and I really like Wild Westerners. So of course this one is double-awesome!

Thank you Bill. That was one of my questions - can I just replace the bumper? The bus had a lot more rust than the picture reflects. Is it a mortal sin to repaint if we use the factory colors? Also, despite a ton of research ai can’t figure out if the blue stripe is a decal or paint.
