Now this is where you guys will cry.
This 54 panel below was also in the same barn. This one's got no rust on it. It only had slight damage under the side doors.
The two Buses were being stored in the barn. The owner wanted them out. The two guys in the pic told the owner they would take both buses. First they took the rotten 55, only because it had the rear axle, making it easy to tow. Their plan was to pull the trans from the 55 and return with it, then install it in the 54.
However, the next day when they returned, all the remaining cars were gone to the crusher.
In the side shot of the 54, you can see the barndoor gas tank. Inside was also the rear press bumper. Included was an ultra rare barndoor single cab rear press bumper. On the rear shot you can just make out the shadow of where the Aristo-cast VW emblem was, on the right above the tail light. The emblem was sitting inside the bus. They didn't take any parts, because they were going to get it all the next day.
