I've
had a couple of '71 buses as a daily drivers for the last 25 years and
have really enjoyed driving them. But my priorities have changed and
over the last year. I have given it serious thought and I have decided
leave the VW Family. I have had some great times and lots of adventures.
Over the years I've been on many trips, campouts, music festivals, and a
founding member of the vw bus camp at Burningman. This specific bus
made a 3 week cross country trip to the mid-west, a local AZ Burningman
event, and numerous campouts. As a daily driver it never fails to
attract interesting people. But enough about my experiences. Here are
the details about the bus and what's included:
