[esonoda100]

This is fantastic!! I have a 69 now, but bought a '71 westie in Santa Cruz in '89 and traveled coast-to-coast in it for 14 years, on and off. Thanks soo much for posting this beautiful video!

[buchan2]

omg..... are those old buses still there?? i would love to get my hands on one of them?

[lovesamluv]

glad to know theres still hippies out there. it warms my heart knowing that

[Exilemainstreet]

Very cool. Handcrank starter is a great design, eliminates a ton of electrical stuff.

[idontcare80]

Awesome van, beautiful family, you guys rock!

[arru79]

Awesome! The "car cemetery" at 6:43 is quite a sight, is that the same place where you found your bus?

Your children seemed to love the trip as much as you two did. Beautiful restoration. You have inspired me to go find one in a field out in Arizona or around that area to restore.

Great video, thanks for sharing. I'm sorry that you had to sell her but I hope you found her a great home. We are preparing our 71 bus for a crosscountry trip this summer. I hope ours is just half as fun as your trip looked. Peace.

[Dannytorresable]

Im diying to take atrip like this in my camper 66.

[mellotrongirl]

I keep coming back to watch this '58 microbus adventure series over and over again. Hands down, the bumfuzzle channel on YouTube are the best videos on da Web! I got a '57 single cab I like to hotrod around..and a '62 camper I drive a bit more delicately. Like JJwoodywood, it brings a tear to my eye, and like vwcamperFlatfour, I love safari windscreens. I may catch pneumonia when winter comes...I'm one to latch 'em down only when it's just too cold!

[JJwoodywood]

wow amazing .. you bring a tear to my eye : .).... your restoration was awseome!

i have a 69 beetle .. im also in the process of restoration :)

absolutely beautiful .

peace and love <3

[LoveOldBugs]

[inagod]

great video's,we drove accross country many times in the 1960's,I was a kid,loved every minute.Love the Bug.

[mellotrongirl]

cool, a passenger can stick a camcorder out the right safari & aim it back

[vwcamperFLATfour]

i love safari windos

[marcorolim]

Great video

[mellotrongirl]

The old Datsun 320 pickup trucks have the crank-start feature too...up until about 1966. They're ratcheted so if the engine backfires, it won't snap your wrist!

[fuckamericafuckyou]

amazing restoration. good work sir.

[sevan7]

Thank You...that was fun.

[SpacedTime]

So cool! I want one. And there were so many just sitting there waiting to be brought back to life.

[eldo500]

I'm in love. I know I'll kick myself forever if I pass this thing up, so I'm going to take a closer look tomorrow.

[ke5hbd]

wow thats cool

[Finnishpride]

I love volkswagens old and new but escpecially the old, and im not only amazed but extremely jealous, ive seen many people find old buses that sat for decades and start but never finish the restoration, keep it up

peace

[minibanger007]

This most fabulous car has done good deeds for us back then. Respect earned for this fabulous vehicle.
