- Taking a drive in the 1961 Volkswagen 23 Window Microbus Deluxe. The bus is a joy to drive. It's one of the cars in my collection that I drive the most. It's really an awesome experience. I highly recommend them!!
My apologies for getting confused between 11 window, 13 window, 15 window, 21 window, and 23 window buses. For clarificaiton, the 21/23 window and the 13/15 window is what I meant. The 11 window buses were a little bit different.

Love it Ross! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Thanks Chris!
Ross, I absolutely love all of your videos. I have to say however, watching some that is not "work related" is great too! I love cars. Very cool video. Thanks for everything you do.
thank you!
Pretty cool!! Thank you taking us for a spin!!
you got it!!
Love this channel ! Keep going!!!
thank you!!
Awesome video. Yesterday i bought my first split window bus and to my surprise it's a 1963 15 window bus. I noticed you never mentioned a 15 window. I've read that they're pretty uncommon. You taught me a few things in this video I didnt know before.
holy sweet mother of god what a gorgeous vehicle
thank you sloan!
Wow! Your house with the landscaping and stone is absolutely beautiful!
thank you!
@@TireKickers-RossCameron yes I agree, home and the area look so nice.. lots of greenery too :). where is this? (I'm in Canada) Love the bus also.. so cool!
Wow cool ride Ross !!!!
thanks Cindy!
Love your videos ross. Hope this channel the best. 1 mill subscribers. Se you tomorrow for the watch list.
Thank you!
That is awesome!
thank man!
Interesting what the developers of the Volkswagen Group made of it in Brazil! There this model was built - after the model change in Germany - with slight adjustments and improvements. (By the way, the DKW car was also continued to be built in Brazil by DKW-Vemag - until Volkswagen do Brasil bought this competitor in 1967) This Samba became a bestseller in Brazil and rolled off the assembly line there until 1976.
Pas bus samba fait au Brésil
@@breizizel3256 Ce que je voulais noter, c'est que ce modèle a été remplacé en Allemagne par un changement de modèle, mais qu'il a ensuite continué à être construit sous cette forme originale au Brésil. Cependant, il n'a pas été possible de l'obtenir en tant que voiture neuve en Europe. La seule option était une importation privée.
Nice bus! I'm working on my 69 ghia that I saved from the crusher. First step is getting it road ready.👍
Wow looks brand new!
yeah!!
Great bus Ross! You've made me wont one!
thank you!
Awesome. Been following your morning trading for a few months now and will be joining daytradedash so I can hopefully climb over PDT. Your video you just posted on the warrior channel you mentioned you had this channel too. Awesome stuff. My dream car as a kid was an old Toyota FJ40 land cruiser and I got a 1977 a few years ago. I get asked questions at every stop light
Here from warrior pro and know nothing about cars but this was really interesting as a late night watch before sleep... Jack Kerouac reference aside, there's a book called "zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance" which for some reason sprung to mind hearing about the characteristics and quirks of the microbus. There's a lot to be said with being more connected to the environment as you travel (which is also a big part of why I love mountain biking). Very cool!
Very nice bus! We have similar tastes as I also have a 1961 23 Window bus, not quite as clean as yours, but same model, and originally same color as well. I also have a 1969 Mustang fastback, mine is a Mach 1, with a 428 Super Cobra Jet, so we cover similar ground with our cars. Of all cool cars I have driven, nothing gets the honks and thumbs up like a 23 window bus. Enjoy, and thanks for the cool videos.
Haha awesome!!
your such a great speaker Ross! keep it up boss
thanks man!
I absolutely agree 100%. It’s his natural God given talent. @tirekickers
Finally I get to see the V-Wagon... I likes!!
Yes!!!
@@TireKickers-RossCameron cool bus. What name brand of shoes are you wearing?
Exquisite taste!
thank you!
It's because it sounds like a motorcycle you like it so much lol, congrats on the new wheels
thank you!!
there ya go!
Another fantastic episode! I never knew as much about the 1961 Volkswagen bus before! I’m definitely not as brave as you are Ross in regards to driving that with virtually no windshield wipers! Lol! It’s a beautiful van and an awesome addition to your collection! What’s the oldest car in your collection Ross? Thanks again for another great episode! 🔥🔥🔥 I’m really looking forward to the next episode! On another note as a current warrior pro student once I grow my small CMEG account (1K) I’m definitely going to become a fledgling junior tire kicker myself someday! Lol! Thanks again Ross! 😊
My oldest car is the 1950 blue pickup truck you can see in the background of the intro sequence/trailer
hey! right on thank you!
This would complete my hippie life 🖤
yes!!
Such a cool ride! Is this the one you were tinkering with the fuses on last year?
yes!
Where did you find this gem? Who did the restoration? It looks fantastic!
This was restored in California and owned by a collector in PA.
Will it move with 9 people in it with a 1.2 engine? Needs a least a 6 cylinder. Swap it.
Beautiful van. You can tell they were really concerned with safety by the way the steering wheel sits directly on your diaphragm. Lmao.
lol no kidding!
living the life ross! I got 150k saved for a car and its monthly expenses, any recommendations?
Hey man!! I hope you have at least 4x that much tucked away in safe places. $150k is a lot for a car, it shouldn’t ge your #1 asset, since they depreciate. Are you thinking about classics or something newer?
@@TireKickers-RossCameron Hey! Yea In total i have about 450k, I am a momentum trader just like you and invest into real estate. Honestly I'm up for any car, just looking for one that catches my eye since this is my first car.
“Oh my god they found me, I don’t know how, but they found me”
lol
@@TireKickers-RossCameron do you get the reference?
@@fortyyearfitness IT'S THE LIBYANS!
@@chrisgouger9299 very nice... I think of that when ever I see one going down the road...
"Run for it, Marty!!!!"
Why aren't you posting any videos now???
that hanks for the content do you think restomods are a good investment thanks
hey! Great question! Personally I don't think they are as good of an investment. In 5-10 years, what do you have, a resto-mod that is in need of upgrades? If you have something original, and you can keep it original, it will hold better value. Some resto-mods like Singer Porsche or East Coast Defenders do command high prices, but if you look 20-30 years out, I'm not sure if they'll hold value in the same way as an original.
@@TireKickers-RossCameron thanks for the feedback I appreciate it
Oh shit 40 hp?!! Just a wee bit different than the 429 Mustang. Lol
lol yep
How tall are you?
My wife is 6'3" 1/2" mostly legs with a 38" inseam. After watching this video she's worried her legs won't fit under the steering wheel with the bus we are buying from the Mainland 🤙
What about the bugs when the windshield is open🙊
lol yes its a problem
lol
LOL i had one of these back in the 70's in nor cal. It was my first car. A 66 23 window with a big sunroof. Bought it for $700 bucks off one of those used car lots on the other side of the train tracks. Most unsafe underpowered pos i ever had. Why risk your life in one of these death traps? Just one texting suv driver and you're toast because there is no frontal protection in these things
You are right they are not a safe daily driver! But a beautiful fun car for a Sunday drive!
I bet that does not have power steering or power brakes
correct!
Vw microbus is its own identity, any American motor car does not compare-especially Ford mustang....
12:41 ross you are just tall lol
that's the problem!
TIL 23 - 8 = 13.
thank you i got myself turned around there. 21/23 window and 13/15 window
I know :( i corrected in the description
