Talked to the Owner of the (now comfirmed 2) busses I spotted the other night, 1) a late '67 pop-top westy 100+ miles, fella is original owner, last registered in '73, has been sitting since, complete interior parts sitting inside Large post and beam barn... custom modified Full roof rack(center was removed to fit over Pop-top, very well done) several windows on passenger side were removed, resulting in Rust damage to floor and door sill, frame looks solid(cursury look) 2) '63-'66 11 window Deluxe "parts bus" complete... front bumper $ over-riders have very minor surface rust...all glass is VGC... latches for pop-out windows GC... Jailbars in rearmost windows complete and VGC Floors in GC couldn't look under it due to Huge wasp nest...he also has 1/2 dozen Trannies, at least two set of Reduction gear boxes, numerous fenders, hoods, bumpers and such for early Bugs ( his Brother was Heavily into mid-50s to mid-60s Beetles before he died), also has 10-15 6v starters/generators... several "running" 40hp, 1 1300, and 2 1500... 3-4 40hp long blocks unknown condition, and last but not least 2 OE wood slat Bug roof racks! Heavy negotiations are under way!!! Hope to come to terms with him by early next week... he just wants to reclaim the Barn storage for his custom wood shop... wants it ALL gone by the end of the month... will keep ya informed, as a good bit of it will be for sale... ( I might keep one of the roof racks for my '64 Deluxe bug..) JonR
