Yeah I didn't think it was "cool" to die in the desert and not have my tail lights working.
ahh yes I do wish I still had the bus. It wasn't particularly safe, and there wasn't any heat… but it was one of my favorite vehicles. It did get to see Maine. I drove it home from there. I burned some exhaust valves and ran it mostly on 2 cylinders from NY.
It did eventually get rebuilt.. and rebuilt well. I had a friend of a friend that raced V dubs and was switching over to bigger cars.. so I got some parts cheap. bigger pistons and jugs, dual port heads, a 2 barrel Holly… along with some other goodies. It made a fun vehicle even more fun.
