It
never ceases to amaze me how dedicated Samba fans are to these buses!
The most dedicated of Samba nuts will go to great length to save them
and fork out serious money in the process. We've seen rusted out
projects brought back from the brink, or in one buses case raised from
the depths of a lake!
The example you see here was found in a forest about a few months ago
by the seller. They were able to work a deal with the owner and had it
hauled to their barn, where they began work on. The previous owner put
some parts of the bus in their own barn, including all the seats. Since
getting it, the seller has replaced the front floors, gotten it running,
installed new window rubber, and replaced the rag top and all the parts
necessary to make it open and close. It still needs a lot more work to
be a driver, but this bus looks like a decent starting place! You can
find it here on eBay in Daytona Beach, Florida with a BIN of $40,000 and bidding just over $5k.Source: barnfinds.com
