I am looking forward to driving my '58 Deluxe one of these days. It still has its og split case trans and I finally bought a primo 36HP case that is just slightly earlier than correct. As for the DC, I picked the price that seems to be reasonable when comparing mine to others in better/worse condition. I'm not pushing the sale, so if it doesn't sell I won't be too bummed, I'll just need to make room, and be ready for my future Barndoor.

Did a few things like LUBE THE FRONT SUSPENSION, but best part drove it around for awhile just to give it some road test. DRIVING an original VW like this is like taking 40 years off of your life. Sort of like relaxing and listening to 50s/60s music. And no disrespect intended, but it ain't the same thing driving a slammed big engine cal-look rat rod; I know, I have some of those too. So Peter is 100% correct, get that thing out and drive it. Heck, I bet Peter loved that drive so much the price of the DC just doubled.

It's been a while since I've done this, and ohhhhhh did it bring back driving my '62 every day for 5 1/2 years. I'll be doing this more often now with whichever Bus. Keeping em on the road, Peter BlackBerry service provided by Nextel
