Well since you really found this one in a barn ... Barny would fit :D

Thanks for a great adventure Sir. BIG THUMBS UP

That bus must have felt happiness when she noticed her new master and commander is Mustie1.

Good grief, I was immediately excited in three kind of ways: A new Mustie1 vid, a new rare split window bus and it's a super rare camper! I gave 👍 even before I watched it!

A poor mans' Jay Leno, maybe but I bet you're having just as much fun...for less!

Brian is a legend must be good to have friend like him ?

I worked at a Subacute dealership as a body technician for several years, it was a flat rate shop where I was guaranteed the hours on the esrltimate no matter how long it took me to repair the damage. I was assigned a job on a Subaru. Wagon where the hood had flipped up and damaged the roof and broke the windshield. I decided to try a technique using heat and cold to pop the damage on the roof up and it worked awesome. I heated the roof with a heat gun and quenched it repeatedly with ice water. Suddenly, it popped back into position when I got the heat and cold just right and the repair required no filler after.just a small amount of hammer work was all that it required before paint. I was paid 8 hours for a repair that barely took an hour. My day in the sun!

When I was a kid in the late 60's my family(2 sisters,bro,Mom, Dad and me) traveled around Sweden one summer(4months) in one of these in a camper model! The starter went out and us kids would have to get out and push start it!!! ☝😄

“be still my heart” you KNOW what I mean! Nothing like seeing one you have bought like the day you bring it home😍I’m so happy you got this guy! Best part is...WE all get to enjoy it too! Looking fwd to it! 👍

Awesome road trip to save another classic VW..!! Thank you for taking us along..!!

Great find! I'm a recovering VW addict and this has got me on the edge of jumping back in! As for a name of your new project, I think "Kombistock" might be appropriate due to the fact you found it in northern NY and its the 50th Anniversary year of Woodstock. Love all of your videos. You have a wonderful combination of mechanical aptitude, curiosity, and communication skills! Thanks for sharing.

Krusty+Kamper= Kramper.... We used to call it going "cramping" due to the lack of space for 5! Nice find!

Holy crap. You went right past me. That hoarder property on NY-104 is legendary. Even Mike and Frank stopped there once I think.

Can't wait to see what you do with it! I wish I had the ability to restore these beauties. I just got done with my 79 westy (new paint, restored engine), I feel like I have been through every screw/bolt/nut on the thing but still way less work than these old split windows. I might not have the means to restore one, but I can live vicariously through you!

Really nice VW Bus. I learned to drive in a 1969 VW Bus. It was a tan color and my father converted it into a camper van that my family used on weekends and holidays. I really miss those days. Wish I had it now.

With so many things described as barn finds these days, it's nice to see a find in an actual barn. Great content as always. Love this channel.

I think patch or patches is a good name 👍👍✌ and thank you both for taking me on yet another awesome adventure and for all the hard work it took to make it happen.

An unlocked bike on the sidewalk. You gotta love small towns.

These videos are a treat to watch , Mustie! My sole connection to a split window bus is the 1967 my parents bought when Dad was posted to Germany in 1978. I was at the tender age of 7, and I remember that bus fondly. The bus was followed by a 1973 Opel Rekord wagon and a 1973 Peugeot 504. Then it was back to Canada and more common stuff.

Nice find. My Grandfather had a crusty back in the mid to late 60's. He always said he would give me a ride in that little compartment on the side, but never did. I wish I had it today.

ROAD TRIP!!!! I love it....good find!!

My wife & I had thought about using Sportsmobile as a company to build us a Class-B RV (van-sized motor home) but decided against it. You might want to contact them and see if they have any of the original build plans for you bus to compare to what you currently have in your possession. If you do contact them, try connecting with the office in Texas as that is their home base. It looks like you've got a mighty nice van there as a starter project. Most everything is in very good shape, with the exception of rust here and there. Thanks for sharing.

I love your videos. It is pretty awesome to see you guys literally just down the road.

Barny is perfect name for this girl! Love seeing your videos and learning myself new things every time! So please keep doing you! Love from Florida

You drove 450 miles with a Molotov Cocktail just looking for a light. That could have been exciting.

Really nice feature project. Looking forward to it.

Ah! Just grabbed a nice coffee and a road trip with Mustie. Good times on Sunday morning. Thanks for the adventure Pal!

Another great find Mustie! Thanks for sharing !

Sportmobile was a company that did camper van conversions. They did a lot of Ford's and VW vans in their early days.

Great episode. I think it looks like a 'Lofty'.

Nice truck. My 66 is registered as a Campmobile. It has a rack on top with a tent and ladder as well as a side tent. These old conversion Vans are pretty cool even if not a "Westy" Thanks for the videos.

I love the split window buses. Quite a masterpiece, they are! Slow and steady, and ADORABLE wins the race every time!

Van Go? I like that for a VW name. I love your videos Mustie. Keep 'em coming.

Holy cow! You were in my town (Spencerport, NY) when you stopped for gas after picking up the VW. I hope you enjoyed your meal at Texas BBQ joint... it's a local favorite.

Was a long journey but definitely would say worth it. Can't wait to watch the build. Pretty cool having vw nut as a neighbor and good trade trip friend.

This will be fun to see get resurrected. Thanks for bringing us along. Its encouraging to see... I'm still holding out hope that I can find the single/double cab project that I'm holding out for.

Mom had one of these for awhile when I was a kid then dad upgraded her to a flatface Ford Econoline van. A bright red one, as if we weren't obvious enough with all 8 of us kids hanging out the windows. Car seats? Yeah the car had seats. Seatbelts? For whacking your brother with. If you tried to parent now the way kids were raised then, well, any random day would earn you enough felony child abuse convictions to land you a life sentence.

This going be a good series. Lol take seats out give it a vacuum. See what interior you're working with. And also good luck :)

Thanks for letting us tag along. Love vans . lots o bugs here in Pa. few vans

You're a genius!! Master, I always watch your videos, I learned a lot with you, so long as I was encouraged to take my VW from 86 apart and take the whole engine apart looking very carefully ... I am not a mechanic or anything like that ... I am just an FM radio operator. . but I'm so glad that I could finally arrange my car alone .. ok thanks teacher genius! say hello from New York

How about Poppy for a name? You have a real flair for making videos! Stopping at the guy's place to show us his hoard was perfect! Another great Mustie1 video. No wonder there are over 3000 views! Cheers!

The squealing was not a brake dragging but the mice in the van shouting kidnap !

I watch all the time and have really learned alot about carb rebuild and fixing stuff. I really enjoy the videos!!! You were actually 2 miles from my place when you stopped at Texas BBQ in Spencerport. Had I known I would have invited you buy and shown you my projects in the garage. Again thanks for the great videos. Huge fan!!

Can't wait for a complete restoration. Looking at this masterpiece in a nice shape again worth it, but the learning experience along with Mustie entertaining way is priceless. Suggesting a name for the beauty, BAMVAN.

Thats cool Mustie1 and thank you for all your videos

My 1967 camper bus I got from Mr Mach1 last year; I been looking into the history, that tag looks like what I have Travel Equipment Corp. (TEC) From what I understand TEC was the folks who designed and came up with the POP-Up campers they did camper conversions for vw's and other vans in the 60's. Your windows also look like what I have & how they are installed . (TEC) did a SportMobile conversion kits they sent to Germany. VW would take a standard panel van . This was info got off the internet. Check your (VIn. No. M codes) panel van .They painted then all one color "white" on your bus should show it was a panel van) from what i read they did the conversion @ vw plant and exported them. The company no-longer around but they were in Indiana On my back seat emboss in the seat is SportMoblie

cool bus, and lucky on all the parts. props to the artist of the sculpture 👍

Mustie, I am in awe of you, sir. Two reasons: First, I am amazed at your skills in getting apparently hopeless vehicles running (mechanical skill is something that doesn’t come naturally - I draw blood when I attempt to change my own oil). Second, as a long time VW fan, I ‘m impressed with your skill at finding all these wonderful toys. Keep recording, keep posting, and best wishes for continued success.

I like your vids way, way, way more than anything Kay Leno has put up. :)

Sportsmobile made all VW campers out of standard buses until the Government put a tariff on Imports. VW then started having Westfalia make their campers in Germany as there wasn't a tariff on campers. So the story goes from the Sportsmobile folks. Sportsmobile has a patent on the straight up pop up, which is why Westfalia went with the angled pop top

I got a kick out of when you said, "we're gonna put it in our stash and in dry storage". If I could have been in another time and another place and had made better choices, I could have had a stash like yours instead of the many stashes that I had! LOL! I love your vids and how you ask for our help and opinions and make us feel like we're a friend and a confidant. Thank you, Mustie!

My 1st car ever was a 67' Beetle. I hated the car, I was a kid. All my friends were rocking the new Iroc, or 5.0's stangs etc, and theres me in a 1600 cc teal green bug. I totaled that car 50 feet from my house, along with a truck and monte carlo, oh, and a house. (old fart with fake leg T-boned me when he mistook the gas peddle for the brakes) Time went by and years later i bought a VW 77' westfallia pop top, school bus yellow. I LOVED THAT BUS. 2000cc engine, zero rust anywhere on it. paid $600 out the door for it. I sold it eventually and have regretted it ever since. Old VW's are a blast, i wish as a kid i'd have appreciated what i had.

That's one Serious Bus! I knew summat was brewing when VWnut did the ask Mustie1 video.

4:20 that's cool, you didn't bring one, ha like the bus 😁

Oh my that is one fine looking camper, hope you keep the original paint colour combo 👌🇬🇧

Brian's skateboard in the back lol....Nice find , fun road trip , congratulations on the 66 SO42 , pop top is in great shape! We have twin projects now , like Schwarzenegger & Devito 🤣. Murdock as the A-team chopper was coming for their van .

Looks like we both got a Bus over the weekend for real low cheap! Good score!

When you asked for suggestions for a name for her, suddenly 'Myrtle' jumped into my head. I have no idea why, as I haven't heard that name in ages. Befitting of an old girl though, which is what we have here.

What a beauty. I love the color scheme, even though it was probably an after-market job done by the coach builders who converted it to a camper.

Awesome. Look forward to seeing the progress (and how to get there too). Thank you.

It's the first name that popped into my mind Darrin. Angus. Don't know why lol. Awesome save. Looking forward to future videos on the ole Bus. p.s. Need your P.O. Box in the description. I cleaned out an older gentleman's machine shop and there were a couple of VW specific Head Tools in the mix that I'd like to send to you. Cheers! Zip~

Name him Chief. The color looks native American. Then the clip of the statue at the end sums it up for me.

Nice bus Mustie.....well it will be I’m sure. Thanks for the road trip and happy wrenching on this one.

Looks like another great project to keep you busy. Looking forward to the engine testing. Cheers

RIP Musties wallet, sprung for lunch and a hotel

Those sills aren't right but i like the spare motor and box that comes with it. he sides are fairly straight. Its a wonder i haven't been stuck down by the Gods of Volkswagen. (a lightening bolt from the sky) 30 years ago i helped one of my friends dump a 51 yes (hangs my head in shame) 51 barndoor kombi with 3 spoked steering wheel and foot rail. They weren't worth anything at the time hardly anything fitted my friends 64 kombi and it was very rusty.(beyond repair) So to make up for my sinning i am resurrecting a 1973 type 200 trakbayan basic transporter. It was the predecessor to the mexican hormiga. It was sent out here in from vw Germany for sales evaluation here in New Zealand at the time being a little tin pot country or so they thought in Germany.. It got sold off and one of my friends drove it for a vw junkyard for a few months in the late 70s later Another one of my friends bought it in the early 90s for the motor and it got pushed down a bank on his farm where all the rubbish goes. I rescued it and have it in pieces in my garage. There isn't much about them on the internet they didn't make many. They were only sold in 3rd world markets. they were made from a lot of parts that were already in production . 1500 handbrake lever, 68 on steering box and column etc The brakes are 66 wide front drums on the rear. the front brakes have the wide rear drums (yes its front wheel drive) and the hanbrake on the front It has a ladder chassis with arm front suspension with kombi torsion bars on the top arm and for the rear leaf springs. The rear mounting blocks for the cab are the kombi gearbox mounts that go on the overhead cradle for an early 70 kombi.. Its made from odds and end. The speedo is from a 1500 beetle with out the fuel gauge and is cable driven from the nose cone of the gearbox.. It has VR 1764 for a chassis number which doesn't come up in any vw historical data that i can find... Its a bit of an orphan, but that makes it more fun to do up. Its super beetle orange and there is one in the vw museum.

Thanks for letting me ride along to the Canadian border. It's fun watching the bus-retrieval adventure from down here in Texas. You really need one of this big-wheel forklifts!

Great find, Mustie. Looking forward to the restore, tinkering videos. Still miss my 1969 bus, the engine blew on the way back from North Conway N.H., broke down in Pelham on my way back to Massachusetts....

Imagination does give you free license ... im already seeing the fin vehicle, colour is as cream with that highlight orange ? white walled tyres ? white steering wheel , tan or cream carpet ( and yes i know foot trafic ) as for name as its a pop up how about " POPPY " falls into that flower power time period heh .

WOW! The Mystery Machine. Now you will have to rename the dog, "Scooby Doo" and we will start calling you "Shaggy1". By the looks of those seat covers, I think Shaggy has been overdoing it with Daphne. :-)

Loved the roadtrip. Thanks for sharing that footage also. Loved it.

Great adventure. Thanks for taking us along

I think Mustie called ahead and said " cover that with a tarp so we can do a youtube reveal . because that tarp was about 1 hour old it still had the crease marks in it .

Well from reading the comments it's a girl, so Pop Tart for a name? New sub here, nice videos love your channel keep up the good work.

Tad bit of a ride. Yea... shure is. Great find man ! I'm getting caught up on all your videos. Love em all.

Thanks for the road trip. GOLD👍👍👍👍👍

The body panels look like they might be from a 61-67 Ford Econoline?

New addition to the collection, and yes, it's got to have a name..but I always let them pick one themselves as I'm around each vehicle, one day I just start calling it something. Not really that bad of shape, and comes with parts too!(both old and new, that cut off driveline is a find of its own)

Love it!.. I had a 67 pop up camper back in the day... I should have never let it go.. Hindsight is 20/20... I want another one : - )

Excellent find, can't wait for you to show videos on it ......👍

You have Lucy, you should name this one Ethel, lol

non walkthrough.......they cut that. They did that to mine also. Does it have belly pans? If not then dead sure they cut that out. Close either of the doors and watch the pillar move due to no lateral support

That is one cool old buss. Love the videos and the older VW.👍

Great score 👍.. can't wait to see a will it run . Have a good day.,

Here it is, 4:30 AM Sunday morning in Southern California and there's already 2550 views!

4:20, psychedelic colors hidden under the paint, some dents and rust.... Name: Roach Motel

WOW that is one Beautiful bus I can already see it all done up looking amazing

Great find, looking forward to seeing more of this one .

What about Poppy for a name I'm liken it.

love all your videos,but I think I missed the year of the van. I always loved VW anything thats all I grew up with. So keep up the great work.

one heck of a score great lunch lots of new parts kool great road trip great company having Brian with you looks like its in decent shape for the age thumbs up and shared love the statue

A road trip with Mustie...fun stuff. Yet another fun project added to the stash. Enjoy the challenge my friend.

Even at 70 years young..I GOT the irony.....gotta love a little 4:20 in a VW bus!!!

Great find mustie. And a road trip keep up the awesome vids.

Nice find.....I had a couple of these years ago, and one full window which I hated in comparison....these old vans are a blast to drive....especially with a bored out 1600

You're a sick man. You bought a 3/8" open end/box wrench and it came with a VW bus. What a deal. I'll enjoy watching YOU bring it back to life. Nice haul of spare parts too.

I like the windows and the paint, fun find! Wow, there was a guy had a hoard like that here in WA, including empty houses that were slowly falling apart.

God but I love your vids! It feels like Christmas every time I get your upload notification . 😎 Thank you Sir!

Welcome to Upstate NY. Yes its always colder here.. Drove right past my area.. Cool find..

Adirondack Highway. Beautiful country up there. The Champlain Islands are beautiful in the summer. The lake is gross LOL. Nice find! Cant wait to see you fix it up!
