Pictures from a Junkyard Bus

[whc03grady]

Some time ago I posted about a bus in a junkyard in Arlee (MT) that I'd relieved of some of its parts. Rifling through the contents of the cabinetry I found some interesting items as well. I'd forgotten that I'd absconded with one of these items, an abandoned roll of film, which we later had developed. Full post here.

Its too bad I was up there about a month ago and just the week before that he crushed all the vw"s :( Sweet pics

So by my count that's three buses (all bays), about seven Beetles, a Karmann Ghia, and a Squareback that have been sent to their Greater Reward. I'm glad I got to them when I did. Thanks for the info.

I thought I saw a Ghia still but the bays were gone. I tried to ask if there was anything else and all he kept saying was "crushed all vw's last week" Its too bad because the month before I went up there and he had just closed and I told him I would come back for parts of the vw camper and he was really cool, told me he was going on vacation and to come back later . I really wish someone could have saved that Riviera. I asked why he did that and he said he was not moving parts on any of them .

That's a bummer. Looks like it had restoration possibilities.

I can attest that it was pretty rusty, so I'm not sure how good a candidate for restoration it was. But it was certainly a decent parts bus, from the knees up.
