Pretty busy here… I had 3 different Ghia’s on my trailer to transport to the docks in just two days… They will come all to BBT HQ soon…

First we had that ubercool 1959 original Lizzard green with dark green roof but unfortunately repainted in cheap black, we picked up in San Jose….

Cool car uh?

After that we towed the 68 “roestie” coupe all the way from Ojai, what’s close to Santa Barbara.. solid car, but left outside bare metal…

Stopped down the 101 in Atascadero… it’s really hard to pass by there without having my favourite burger at Sylvester’s!

And last but not least picked this 1970 convertible up in Gilroy, the garlic capital of the world!

This is a real cool un messed up project car!

If you want more information on any of those three cars, just shoot me an email… I reply as soon as I can!

Do You believe in life after life? Some buses do live longer.

Surprisingly, the rusty remains of this Baywindow Postbus have reappeared.

For only 450 Euro you get a stylish chicken coop and the rust is free, according to Bauhaus Autoverwerter.

Autoverwerter Beier confessed guilty already when he sold the almost complete bus with additional spare parts for 500 euros a couple of years ago. If the buyer never pick up the bus it’s the seller that has to take action, right?

Bought as a donor the buyer had cleaned the car thoroughly, technology, seats, dashboard and internally stored discs were removed. It looked like this before they started…

That’s we’re he left the body where it was…

A little Graffiti upset on the art car and they reinstalled the sliding door. Why do you spray a Mercedes star on a VW bus?

Let’s jump back into the year 1986. As back then Autoverwertung Nord sang and klanglos  crushed a VW bus (ex postal services) in a similar good consistency simply pulped and grabbed by the crane.

 Interestingly, this car did not have a long standstill and drove literally to the sad end of the scrap yard in the traffic. Why he didn’t drive two years more?

The sacrilege of punishment was promptly executed to the bus. The car is torn as a flat package when splashing into several pieces. The previously painstakingly granted scrap was distributed in the square. Punishment is needed!

Thanks to Hubert for these cool stories and pictures…

We all wish You a happy sunday!
