Here are some of the pics of the Telefunken Bus restoration. Hammil did the metal work and the Bus is shown in his driveway when we picked it up. Also shown is me doing interior prep on my back and Tim Leventry painting the logo on the side after the beast came back from the paint shop. Last pic shows it sitting in the VOA museum. Have fun.

I bought it last summer at MOFOCO's Bugfest and drove it home. Runs better than it looks. I will eventually restore it but the 66 Deluxe is next in line. For now I will camouflage it and drive it for 2-3 years.

I am not sure what type of camper this is. I only know that it is rather crusty around the hat brim. I will get a lot of practice at sheetmetal re-creation. Even though it is crusty it has a lot of character, typical of splitty's.

Bought it from a farmer for $1900 cdn. Pressed bumpers, bubble tail lights and reflectors, brakelight decklid (all working), canadian VW badge, and original interior and paint. Nice to know there are still good finds! With so little rust I think I'll drive it for a long while like this.

12/26/05 DON 'The Emissary' SERIBUTRA This bus should be arted again in the art car community; regarding the Polly Esther's logo, some nightclubs in Downtown Houston have participated in the 2005 Houston Art Car Parade. Sadly, there was once a Polly Esther's franchise in H-town until 2003.
12/29/02 Fox Do murals,,on most anything that will stand still,,strip this no where pain barf off,,its sad to see such a job still around,,
09/11/02 Paul Leske Well you hippy lovers can quit yer bitchin' because it has been stripped long ago and I am having it painted in the original colors. It was only a billboard for a nightclub anyhow and I couldn't drive it like that without looking like a looser burnout.
07/16/02 Ben Pon Most of you people don't realize that this IS OG paint..We rolled it off the assembly line just as it looks today..!It's a one of a kind..The reason being we fired the dumb ass in the factory who painted it..
07/13/02 spengdog Strip it and be done with it. Give the bus it's dignity back!
07/12/02 Tom Mink What I think you people don't get is that Polly Esther's is a "retro" nightclub that probably painted the bus with that scheme in the last 3 or 4 years as an advertising gimmick. There's NOTHING vintage or classic about it. Strip it!
07/12/02 Jason I think you guys got it all wrong. Who ever applied that stupid paint job is the one who ruined a nice bus. That crap sucked in the 60's and it sucks today. I say strip it and repaint it an original color.
07/12/02 EyezOfTheWorld That's a masterpiece of a paintjob and you're going to strip it? Shame on you! If you haven't already started destroying that bus, please, please, please, I will buy it, cash right now, please let me know!
06/18/02 Daniel Vammen I'm not normally a fan of those types of paint jobs; they tend to turn up on vans that people stop keeping up. But, that one does look exceptional. I would keep it.
06/16/02 chuck I hear drums and smell dope. Are you a hippie?
06/16/02 sarah i think that the paint on that bus is so great and i cant belive you are going to change it

09/28/02   An even bigger sin is the use of the words "hippie" and "work" in the same sentence!
09/28/02 Sid Vicious Thats a good'n, hippies lecturing others about sinning!
09/28/02 marissa do not take the paint off of that, its the most amazing van i have ever seen, i love it and it should be some kind fo sin for you to do that to such an awesome work of art

07/15/02 Chris It obviously isn't a piece of history. It is a merketing ploy a corporate advertisement on a wheels. That completely goes against Hipster History.
07/12/02 Jerry Garcia amen, amen!
07/08/02 shannon please, please dont paint it, it looks so cool, it a piece of history

07/13/02 Spengdog That's different, the car has a provenance, has a place in motoring history. This paint is just an advertising tool. Anyway, Paul, you shelled out your hard-earned, you do what you want with it!
07/12/02   I have heard that Porsche AG has attempted to buy Joplins 356 and they want to repaint it because it is an embarrassment to the company.
07/12/02 Jerry Garcia Hey, would you repaint Janis Joplin's classic Porsche, also? For shame!
