Though I swore off being an airhead years ago, attending BBTB this time
seems to have triggered a relapse. I just now went and looked at a 1971
Bus, for sale cheap not too far away. It was a fine sunny afternoon and
I decided to check it out in the warmth of the day. I pulled up in my 88
GL hauler right across the street from the address given but I did not
see it. What I did see right near me was a cherry looking Type 34
Variant, a very rare Karman Ghia made VW like this one.

In the same driveway was a clean 1966 or so Splitty Camper. When I
finally spotted the 71 across the street behind a fence my head was
spinning as I walked over and waited. The owner pulled up shortly and I
started looking it over closely on the outside.  Not as nice as
described but nicer than many I have seen. Then the sun seemed to dim as
I raised the rear lid. Little bits of engine case were sitting inside
the engine compartment on all the flat surfaces. The spell was broken
and faded away even more when I pulled up the front floor mat and saw
the ground through the rust holes.

Not beyond redemption but a fallen angel for sure.
