That's what it looked like (re the latches) in the one on BJ.  

That bus has been discussed with about 10 million words on the Samba.  It was a 
burned out bus when the guy started.  He apparently owns a paint & body shop.  
The bus has a fake M-code plate and the engine is a 1500 or 1600 dressed with a 
whole bunch of incorrect parts for the year it is supposed to be.  A friend of 
mine owns the bus that beat him in their class at the Cal Classic.  The BJ bus 
had a for sale sign on it at the Classic for $115,000 and no one even expressed 
any interest.  IMO it is about an $85,000 bus tops on a good day.  At least two 
guys at BJ just went nuts, probably with some alcohol help.

Wow, I anticipate a decent return on my investment if I ever sell. What is the 
story on this bus? where was the interior from etc? Was there a reserve?


I have read that long ones go on all the windows except the front cargo door, 
which is a medium spoon latch to prevent it from smashing the passenger side 
door glass when it is opened all the way.

Crazy. I'm glad my bus isn't near that condition. Maybe I'll never finish and 
keep my excuse.

Julie on the other hand, has a problem.
Yes - long spoon… Only on 23s…  I have short latches on the 21.

answer your question about different lengths.
