I know I'm not N2TORTS, but I can really appreciate that! I haven't seen one in more years than I want to say. Is that a restoration, or a well restored original. Way cool!
Haha, nice. I saw an old 70's corvette today, is it old car day?

ALLLL RIGHTY ! .. MR. ED .....THANKS BRO! ... Great looking bus . A rare one at that ...as the " Delux" usually came with the " rag top & slylights" . The 15 window still had the curved glass in the rear , just lacking the top mentoned above.Last year was 62/63. Your buddy could buy a few nice torts with that thing~
Thank you for sharing! .....

Here was my 62' just like your buddy's!
So, do you still have your 62? as you said here was. Or is this the bug your waiting too take out? There were some neighbors a few blocks over that owned two of them. The camper like style. The sad thing, they weren't in great shape, not bad, but not like the two pictured.

I have been thinking about getting one. Need to buy a new car and have always loved. So far all the decent ones are out of my price range.

Very nice, I would love to have an old VW van. You probably wish you still had it

The single cab bus is my absolute favorite, your bug is looking good, I was looking into getting a fixer up bug but I think tort fever won over.
