  • I bought this bus from a family friend that parked it back in the woods 50+ years ago. Follow along our adventure as we restore Jackie Blue! More episodes to come!

    Considering how long it has been sitting outdoors, the bus looks pretty solid and quite complete. Lots of luck with it and enjoy shaping it up. Hope the '59 Chev's get saved too.

    Awesome! Congrats!!! Nothing is better than a good looking girl & a VW Bus! Our family is a VW family too - having a girlfriend/wife who loves VW's as much as I do makes things so much better. My kids are already asking who's going to get my bus when I die! haha!! It's been a fun thing for a whole family to enjoy. Looking forward to seeing updates!
    I bet the owner of this wishes he stored it in a garage for all of those years instead of the woods! lol

It's just so awesome to drive these things. They are so much fun! The good thing about buses today is that almost every part is available & you have great forums like The Samba to get info & even original/used parts to buy.

    Sadly soon all combustion cars and trucks including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-(
    In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025
    on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Car washs will be forbidden too because they are climate killers, now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.!!! (BABVVEN & TEBBVEN & BEFVO laws)!!!
