oh its here in south jersey, iv already seen it. it runs fine the guys dad bought it new, daily drove it until he died and now its sat in a garage since but those old air cooled vw's never die. the interior is perfect so I'm probably gonna gut it any way and sell all of the interior parts to pay for the bus. and the reason its so cheap is its my dads friends and he just filed bankruptcy and needs money bad and just wants it gone.

and you MUST paint a flag on the roof. doesn't much matter which, although the stars and stripes would look good regardless of the color of the rest of it.
