Anybody have pics of buses they found? Barns? Garages?

[woodslat]

Anybody got any tasty photos of dusty buses they dragged out? Chuck em up on this thread! Here are a couple from one of my current stashes, lots of work but so far most of the early bays are being saved from this lot. THere was even a 1960 Karmann GHia I accidentally ran into with my Range Rover as I couldn't see it! Here's a quiz, who knows what year the red bay is in the first photo?

Thats an impressive stash 8)
I would say the red one is a very early (71) crossover deluxe judging by the engine lid which they only made for a short while.

You made quick work of that one! You are correct sir!

Agreed - assuming by 71 you mean date of manufacture (August 1971->) as its a 72 model year

Spot on - my van was made in Nov '71 and has this engine cover!

Yeah Loxy, those lids were on the first of the 72s made in 71 if that make sense :?

Hey woodslat, do I get a prize :?: like maybe a trim panel for a sliding door on your next shipment :mrgreen:

By the way heres one slowly rotting away near my home. Ive been trying for ages to get the guy to part with it, only good for parts now

This is how I found my bus ('69 ambulance)

Oke, oke I put it there myself but I just love the picture

 

[woodslat]

That's cheating...but great picture! Here's the 62 I found a couple months ago in Sacramento, $200

Not sure if I've posted this one yet anywhere, but it's one of my favorites!

 

[woodslat]

Forgot to ask, what color trim panel do you need?

Mine should be like this one, being a 72 deluxe it has two chrome strips running through it but anything close will do

 

[BigG]

Found this on the Samba so cant take any credit for it, but just love it so much.

I'll look to see if I have one, damn cool forest photo, looks like it'll be a tough resto though!

That's what my '72 looked like when I collected it from a garden in Stroud,
had some funny looks driving back down the M5 on trade plates..... :lol:

 

[froggy]

Not so much a find but this was my van before i rescued it from the sister - in - laws, it had sat here for 8 years and before this it had sat with the previous owner for another 7

 

[woodslat]

Those cut in windows look a helluva lot better than the mismatched hack job in my own 71 panel! Great shot!
