I talked to the owner, they're all for sale. He can arrange economical shipping south. Send me a PM for contact info. Also, I have more pics if anyone wants them.

It looks like the Bus and the Seafoam green 61 Bug have new owners. I think the cars are in transport right now. Maybe the new owners will come forward soon....
The white 65 Sunroof car is still up for grabs.
-
I know who bought the bus... I know you are out there and we want more details....
-
Hopefully have more details later this week. Haven't got the official word that the bus has left Whitehorse yet. Will take some pics once it's down.
BTW I am headed back up to Vernon with Chuck on Thursday for a few days. We may try to come up your way again.
I am hoping the bus gets down here before we head up there. That'll be a long 4 days if I haven't seen the bus in person yet (Ouch).
-
Right on Chris, I'll be around all weekend as of right now. Let me know when you are heading up this way and I'll make sure I have some Keith's chillin' in the fridge.
-
Bruce,
Do you know what the asking price was on the '65?
-Dave
-
He wants $2000 for the white 65 sunroof. Just for reference the backhaul + towing the vehicles to where they could be loaded onto a truck for the bus and the blue beetle was about $800 a piece
-
seems pretty steep for a og paint bullet mango standard!!!!!
i'll give him 825$
-

To be clear...The $2000 is what he wants for the 65 sunroof beetle (the white one). The Mango bus and the Turquoise beetle are NLA ;)

:) I could use an NOS muffler for it.
Progress of the weekend: As Kev mentioned - a lot of driving. Grabbed a Mango original paint rear apron. A set of four 60 bus wheels, and a 36 horse that is only a month off of what it should have. Exhausted now but good weekend.

Guilty :-[ Is there a rehab or 12 step for VW addicts? I'm outa control ;)
We DID sell the trike though! This is almost like a trade 8)
That trailer would look sweet on that beetle Brian! If the Westy sells we would like to buy an Overcamp roof tent for four, and run it on the Mango just for trips.
Gina and I did some planning yesterday and came to some agreements on vehicles. One compromise was that we would lower the Mango (with the running gear we built for the Double cab) and sell the Double cab (with the stock gear from the Mango). Of course we would like to keep the Copper's fire truck. Trike is sold. Keeping the Thing. The oval we thought of racing but didn't realize it has it's original pan and engine with it, so we may just build and drive it. Like to build the sandrail...andon

Dood you have run outta room in your sig for all your VW`s :laugh:

Switched bumpers. Transferred a bunch of stickers from the DC to the Mango

Looking good you hoarder :D, the first step to recovery is admitting there's a problem ;)
Those Beetle headlights are going to need the seal beams turned 90 degrees or you'll blind everyone but never see the road. :police:

Now I'm not really a hoarder. Hoarders can't let go of stuff. I can't keep stuff. If it weren't for Gina this place would just be a revolving door of Volkswagen. I see stuff I want more....eventually get too much and sell the old. There was a poster I read a few years ago "Everything I needed to know about life I learned from Star trek". One of the phrases on the poster was "having is not so pleasing a thing as wanting". That is totally me!
BTW thanks for the headlight tip. I was just trying to get the bus looking normal and nothin is hooked up yet, but when I get close I will consult you on sealed beam placement.
-
not really an UPdate...actually more of a DOWNdate. There was a small gathering and some progress (some would say) was made on the Mango. 4" narrowed lowered ball joint front end with dropped spindles (Wagenswest stuff). Got the trans out. Will get a straight axle 67 Type 3 rear end with offset spring plates in this weekend.
