looking for a clean running bus in or close to illinois wanted to spend no more than 1500 jeff


I did a search on Auto Trader for the state of Illinois for VWs from 68-79 from $100-$1500 and only 2 came up. A 74 Ghia, and a 77 Beetle. Ghia did not look to bad for $1500. Bill Berckman

67 Beetle

I thought I just saw one or two not too far from chicago on Ebay

not sure about reserves nor conditions! later, dave Reminder........ Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them, and you have their shoes. Frieda Norris

This won't help you find a bus, but I like to reminisce. About ten years ago my wife and I moved to Indiana. I left my Bug behind in Texas and was missing driving a VW. I found a '77 Pop-top Bus at a used car lot outside of town for $600. I learned to drive it in the snow (an oddity for a Texan) and ended up driving it across country back to Texas without doing any real work on it. I loved that bus. A few years later I ended up getting into a wreck with an 18-wheeler with it and was still able to drive it home pretty smashed up. Good luck finding a bus as they truly are more than just transportation.
