If there is a VW for sale anywhere within a 50 mile radius of Chattanooga, it seems like at least 2 or 3 Volks Folks hear about it, so let's keep an eye out for this bus . . .
It's a 1963 (give or take a year, I'm going by what I remember about it from when it was for sale once, I haven't talked directly to the owner) Pannel bus. It has lots of rust on the rockers and floors and painted a dark brown camoflauge. It looks like something I might drive! LOL The engine that was in it the last time I looked at it was a 1500 or 1600 single port and was missing the intake and carb, everything else was there.
I had looked at the bus a while back when it was for sale and considered buying it, but waited around to long and someone else beat me too it. Then, I saw it a couple of months back sitting on some property just off of the Hwy. 27 Bypass around Chickamauga Battlefield. A lady I work with lives next door and she contacted the people that owned the land, but they said it belonged to friend of their son. One day last week the owner of the bus stopped at her house and ask if she had seen anyone leave with it, because it was gone. He said that there is a possiblity that the land owner's might have had it moved, but he was pretty sure they would have notified him first. So, if you see a bus for sale that fits this description please let me know and try to get that info passed on to the owner. This might be a case of a misunderstanding between the owner of the bus and the land owner's, but it's more likley that the bus been stolen.
