Your right Tony, I forgot about Mac Jones but I don't think it's up to seven. I'm at 5 with new owner. _________________ ----VW's in my garage----

Eddie
Im still at seven but maybe wrong.
First Owner in '52
Dealer in Oklahoma that had it for years in his showroom on display.
Steve H Wood RIP
Mike Hornbecker
Mac Jones (Charlie being caretaker)
New Owner back East...forget his name but met him at OCTO BD meet 2012
And now part of Gene's collection.
I might be hazy or wrong but that's some of the history i am aware of on this Incredible Monster of a Bus, so glad all previous owners have looked after it, and it will remain what iit is for years to come. |

That list is correct Tony, and it's the same list that I have but I'm not counting the dealership.
Charlie was the caretaker during the Hornbecker ownership. It was parked at Charlies for years. _________________ ----VW's in my garage----

I think Steve sold it to a vw dealer before Mike had it. It's with the paperwork that belongs to the Bus. I have letters that Steve wrote to Mike trying to buy it back. There is also the Bill of sale to Steve for 2500 dollars in 1974 |

Gene,
Steve Wood bought it from the dealership after seeing a for sale add in some classifieds.
Mike Hornbecker later bought it from Steve.
Mike had it for the longest time then eventually sold it to Mac Jones.
Mack Jones sold it to a collector in Tennessee who's name slips me.
And now you are the owner of this beautiful original 52
I believer Steve paid all of $2500 for it. _________________ ----VW's in my garage----

Steve did pay 2500 for the car. I'm away until next week I will dig out the paperwork. |
