Does it count that I am looking to buy a good one and possibly buying a parts Bus soon for a winter tear down project. Hopefully a 68-71 Westy.

My bus is 76 bay window with automatic and FI. This fall and winter I'm planning to finish body work. The engine runs good. I removed all glasses. I'll replace with a new head liner. The Interior is brown.
I need to post the photo soon.
By the way I'm looking for a new windshield. the existing one has one stone chip 1/2" dia.
If you know a good windshield, please let me know.
Thanks.
Aki

Hey Glen,
Because of the rain I would say somewhere around 20 buses this year which I was told is about 25% . I know last year there had to been 50 to 60 buses but I didn't really count.
They have what they call bus brrr in Feb. but thats too cold for me.Other than that the next one is in the spring(same weekend as Fifth Third ball park car show).

My Friend Dan has a 70 Campmobile but he never gets online. Also he is trading it for a 99 Jeep Cherokee because he needs a winter car and wants to work on his Bugs. Also Brendon and Brian who are on here have Buses as well.

This is my 1970 Bus...not a westy I am told, was called a sportsmobile. We camped over the 4th of July over on the East side of state, and I got more attention and comments than the $ 50,000.00 Motor Coaches, sure they were more comfortable tho   |

Thanks for checking in , The pop top that goes up front and back I think is a Riviara type bus , You can spot check on the Samba.com looking good . Glen
