It’s like an addiction to me, just try and spot as much as possible VW’s in the street views… here I have some more…
VW’s just “sitting”, I love it!
Believe it or not, but all this started between a couple of German friends who wanted to drive their split window beetle from Alaska to the most southern point of South America, Tierra del Fuego. Shipping their split to Anchorage they drove the first leg to San Francisco in the New World without any serious problems, but a lot of adventures..
Recovering in San Francisco they recalled what they saw and felt so sorry for a couple of busses they saw in junk yards in Alaska. Under the motto “I did my bit, saved a split” they thought they had to save at least one… so airplane tickets were bought and pick up scheduled. After picking this bus up at the junkyard, they had to fix it… not an easy task up north. They managed to get it running, and registered it! So the drive through crazy Alaska could start… and yes they had fun
Back in San Francisco they called us and asked very friendly if we would be interested so they could start the next leg of their trip… a rock solid EZ camper, who can refuse?… well it’s here now, comes with a lot of pictures and memories, and oh yeah, this baby got more history then most of all other buses together.
1964 “Gurke” Bus, a real EZ camper with history!: Check out more pics on the BBT-website!
This camper is amazing, original clocked only 16.000miles since new it happened to be in a flood, what gave it the nickname “Flood bus”. Painstackily restored by Tom Niedernhofer (yes of the Denzel fame) this bus must be now one of the best Sundials around, and for sure the most clean one. Tom put no less than 2500 hours of labour into it to restore this gem! Outside the bus is all original, and this includes the paint! A clean driver/camper anyone?
cockpit interior, it’s all like new, great job Tom! And thanks for selling it to me!
if you’re on the market for a nice and clean camper, where even grandma would have no excuse to drive with, well don’t hesitate and contact me asap on Bob@bbt4vw.com as this beauty will be for sale, somewhere at the end of June.
