Yep, been in that show. Have three trophies to prove it. Two seconds and one
first.
Think the biggest problem as heard from the people on the samba was that the
bus was not painted its original color and that the colors he painted it were
way off of what they should have been and the fact that he had a repop m-code
plate made for it to make it correspond to what he had done to the bus.
That said: I have not seen the bus in person and it looks great from all of
the pictures I have seen.

Sammie,
He did the paint himself and owning a body shop, it was perfect. Sharon looked
it over extensively trying to find the tiniest flaw and couldn't find any. As
far as not winning his class have you ever been in that show? It is simply a
people's choice ballot and those clubs that have the most members there can
control the voting.

There has been a discussion about the owner on the Samba who says he is one of
the premier VW restorers, but basically no one ever heard of him, and he
apparently restored the bus himself. It apparently is a nice bus, but not
totally correct and didn't even win its class at the recently CA Classic.

I'm not saying your bus isn't nice James cause it is very nice but, that price
probably has a lot to do wit the reputation of the person/company who did the
restoration. That said it's still too much to pay.
Unfortunately a paying that much for a bus means that it will never see the
open highway except from the inside of an enclosed trailer.

Here is a picture of a bus at OCTO/Classic show a few days ago.

Take a look first then read the rest of the e-mail.
It just sold at the current Barrett Jackson auction now being held in southern
CA.
Guess how much.
$100,000?
Nope. More.
$150,000.
Nope. More
Would you believe $198,000!
