 Impulse purchase This just about fell into my lap - a 1968 VW single cab pickup.  Very straight and dry, runs like a champ.  Other than a couple of dings and a couple small rust spots on the gates, the only serious issue is the incorrect steering wheel.  This thing is a blast to drive!  The later gearing makes it much for street-friendly than either of my other buses.

 Sweet! I always wanted a crew cab version of a VW bus. Or one of these:  http://home.off-road.com/~trailblazers4x4/unimog.gif Watch out, soccer moms! :mad: | 
| 
 the Unimog! one of my all-time favorites | 
| 
 Thom, how many buses do you currently have? | 
| 
 I have always wanted one of those VW Single Cabs! Great find!!! | 
| 
 How much if you don't mind my asking? | 
| 
 Very cool! My first drivable vehicle was a 63 Crew Cab Pick-up, Beasley. Robin egg blue, top land speed 45 MPH, could swap plates onto my 240Z but still drive the truck with the rear bed gate down.  I miss him dearly! | 
| 
 A coworker just sold his '66 split window bus (excellent mechanical, body needs help) to fund the final part of the restoration of his '73 MotoGuzzi.. | 
| 
 Very, very cool.  Air-cooled even.. | 
| 
 Very nice! Keep adding to your collection! JoeA |

 It was $2000, which I think is a steal given it's condition and rarity.    It came with over a decade of receipts and even the original owner's manual. I'm up to 3 buses now. I've had some interesting ones over the years, wish I'd had the cash and space to keep them all. The two rarest were a '55 European (ie w semaphores) Westfalia - 3rd oldest known to exist, the other two are in the Westfalia museum in Germnay; and a 1954 right-hand-drive 23-window deluxe, of which there's a dozen or so worldwide. |

 Holy cow, what a great find!  I have long held that if the wife wants a "minivan," we're getting a VW bus. | 
| 
 Cool......but it could use some Zebra stripes.:) | 
| 
 Bastard. :D  Nice score. :cool: | 
| 
 that thing is cherry.  look at how good of shape the bed area is.  my 99 truck i just sold had a more weathered bed.   T- one of these mornings you may go out and find a litter of little buses in the corral. i can see the way the two other are looking at the new memeber of the stable. spay or neuter? |

 I'd love to find me one.  It would be nice to go with a 550 (replica at least).  See pics below:http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1116429380.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1116429399.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1116429433.jpg |

 That first period pic just had a similar one on the outer cover of the latest 356 Reg magazine |

 Great find there, Thom.  I've been into the Bugs for years but have never had a bus.  That might have to change some day.  I gave my last Super Beetle, a '71, to my oldest son a year ago.  My last remaining Bug, a '70 standard, will probably go to my youngest son when he is old enough.  That will leave me "Bugless in Seattle".  I have always wanted a Westy, so that might be the time to finally get one.  There are a lot of nice, rust-free ones up around here. | 
| 
 The sloped westy roof rack in the 2nd pic would fetch close to $1000 today! | 
| 
 I keep seeing a, as the sticker says in the windshield, "powered by Porsche" bus around here. Baby blue with chrome Fuchs and friggin' fast for a bus.  Thom - you restore these and sell them, correct? |
