Nope:  But if it is in Austin go look at it.  From the minimal pictures and the 
description I can conclude that it is probably not worth what they are asking.  
It is missing several items and the "owner" doesn't appear to know a whole lot 
about SO-42s or VWs.  There never was a sink in an SO-42.  Probably what it is 
missing is the ice box.  It is also missing the curtains and the fairly hard to 
find light fixtures.  Also has a very funky front interior with missing and 
incorrect panels.
 
Could not possibly have a 1699cc engine unless someone got very creative with 
some sort of funky stroke, or maybe some slip-in 88s.  Also, most VW people 
think of a freeway flyer in a bus (or bug either for that matter) to have a 
3.88 R&P, not a 4.12.
 
Does look like a rather clean SO-42 and they are relatively hard to find.  
However, without some close personal exam I would not think it is worth 
anywhere near the $13,500 asking price.

Anybody know this Bus?  I am not shopping, it is for a friend of a friend and 
they are from afar.
