I saw one with a sliding canvas ragtop in a salvage yard in Florida once.  I thought surely someone had installed an aftermarket unit in it, but I later learned that the factory really made ragtops!  It was probably something they did just  a cover for the cars that came down the line with holes in the roof!

I ran out of gas once and a guy in Yugo gave me a ride.  I had to climb in the driver's door because he had the passenger door duct taped on.  It was only a half mile to the nearest gas station.  He offered to wait and give me a ride back . . . I told him thanks, but no thanks. I had to call someone to bring me a gas can and they could take me back.  He left, I went in and bought a gas can and walked back.  That's the only time I've riden in a Yugo!

A guy I used to work with bought one new and drove it every day for over 10 years.  We used to kid him that he doubled the value in it when he filled up.  He would grin and keep going.  He finally traded it in because it got to where he was having to get parts fabricated when stuff did wear out because no one had new parts avalible and they we getting pretty rare in the junk yards.  The last time I saw him driving it, it looked and ran about like it did when it was new.  So, I guess the old saying "even a blind pig finds an acorn every now and then" is true.

Another guy I work with said he thought he would make some money when Yugo went under.  He bought 3 at an auction in Atlanta for less than half the sticker price.  He said one of them made it home on it's own power and he made a pretty good profit on it . . . but he lost his butt getting the other two home and replacing the head gaskets so he could try to get some of his money back out of them.

i know one the can be had for 2500 that need a front beam or repair and 3 front wheel cylinders, all the other have been replaced, has a rebuilt engine from mr hixson lots of new parts

Hey travis,
i took a look at it today, unfortunately it was not what i am looking for. took some pics in case somebody else is interested. its 2200.- at the moment. an its an early 70.

Yeah there's not $2200 worth of bus there either. Keep searching

What are you looking for Eike and what are you wanting to spend?

i know it is a little rough but i know he has spent alot of money on it, i have put a rebuilt engine, clutch, mounts, couplers, all new rear brakes, front pads and wheel cylinders, i think he has put more the that in it

I sold my dad's rough 76 1100 and it had trouble shifting into first and it was not a camper

Split busses are far easier to do rust repair on.  Of course, they cost a good bit more to buy in the first place.   

. . . but then they are worth more when you finished too!   

Yep.  Throw a roof rack on bay and strap on a couple of surf boards and you're cool . . . until you pull up beside a split, even without the surfboards.
