It's fantastic to see so many of these old busses still out and about. I still miss my old 1966 bus that took me half way round Australia and i still kick myself for ever having sold it now the ones still around are stupid prices. Thaanks for taking the vid
I had a 1977 bus sure was a fun vehicle. When I was like 22 years old I took off one summer on a cross country camping trip from Pa to Montana and back it was the time of my life. One of those things you can do when you are young and have no responsibilities to speak of. This reminded me of that trip and sent me looking at old photos. Thanks
*Thanks for taking me almost 60 years back in time, where I started as a 13 y old kid, having my [adoptive] dad teaching me the magic of driving, in our grayish-beige, '62 split window transporter!* (What I remember most vividly, is driving _alone_ - at fourteen, on a crispy night, on snow covered Norwegian country roads, with the snowflakes in the headlights coming towards me, _ohhh,_ what memories! . . . ) Thanks for sharing you guys! 🙏
This video stumbled into my feed, somehow. I ended up watching it to its conclusion. I found it amazing that you could get this many old VW buses together in one spot and then take them offroad. Great comaraderie! I almost never see any on the road. I always thought these had been gobbled up by collectors and restored, yet her are some that look beat, but damn, you guys are having fun with them. Maybe add a little voice over where everyone is pulled to the side of the road explaing the reason why i.e. "We stopped because the engines needed to cool", and/or add something at the end presenting the number of break downs and what they were as well as how many started and how many finished. Who drove the farthest. It would be easy to make a documentary on this event. I am just amazed you guys could climbe all those mountain roads and not overheat. Loved the video.
Das einfach nur zu beobachten ist schon ein schönes Gefühl. Ich hatte vor 35 Jahren einen VW T-2, Bj. 1975, mit Hochdach und Hochschiebetür, allerdings war innen nur 174 cm hoch. Schöne Grüße nach Amerika aus Hannover
I had a 74 bus camper.The top popped up for additional sleeping and had a fold down bed in the rear. Bought it used in the 90's. Still had bug screens for all the front windows. Drove it to Nothern Upper Michigan and Canada to go camping.Since it had all the engine weight on the rear wheels, I could drive it on many 2 track old logging roads, it had good traction. 2000 CC engine, automatic.
Aqui no Brazil essas kombis são conhecidas como corujinhas e já são raras....muitas foram exportadas pelo alto preço que atingiram e praticamente sumiram....tenho uma 99 e fiz dela uma kombi-home moro nela há 7 anos.....nunca fui tão feliz em minha vida......
I don't know what it is about those little VW buses, but they are so damn cool and I've kinda always wanted one.. I had no idea that you guys grouped up like this, which adds a whole new layer of nerdy coolness to this whole thing it's really got my considering picking one up!!
I’d love a bus one day. I’ve owned a lot of cool cars but I’ve never acquired the one I really want and would buy in order to keep. Someday soon hopefully
During the '70s I had a'59 single cab with a 40 horse, a '65 with a 1600 and a '68'.Traded the '68 for a '65 Ford 1/2 ton with a 390 and three 20-gallon gas tanks.
Being of “VERY GERMAN “ descent,, my Grandfather had VW’s ,, my Dad had VW’s and when I turned 16 ,, of course I had to get a Bug ,,, if my father had seen me driving OUR Bus the way you guys drive yours ,,, he would have beat my ass within an inch of my life , and NO MORE DRIVING !! Tant amount ABUSE !! His attitude was if you respect your machinery that little,, maybe you’ll respect it more after you walk awhile !! Best of luck !!
Where I live, Palo Alto California, You don't see many split window VWs. But when I do see one more often than not it's been restored like something from Gabriel Iglesias garage. But you wouldn't take a show car on a trip like this. My guess is that in the future the unrestored vans will be a rarity.
Hola muchas felicidades por el video es fantástico, me pregunto ha zona es oregon , Washington, alaska, california o iaho . Saludos des de España Europa tengo muchas ganas de hacer un viaje con mi land rover defender gracias Saludos .
If the first one to cross the river made it by going slow!!! Why did all that followed try going fast??? Even after non made it going fast they still kept it up??? Guess they are all dumb in their behinds!!!

Nice to see old splittys that haven't been Jerry Seinfelded to perfection. Perfect nostalgia for my 1958 $50 bus I had in 71.

Looks like a pretty good turn out 👍🏻
I bought VW parts there back in the 70s, when it was Northern Baja and Bug. Parkview ave.
This was one of the best video yet , Looks like a lot of fun man .
nice footage, thanks
I found it very interesting, here in Brazil there could also be expeditions like this.

Man that looks like such fun!!!!
Great vid! Would you share the route? It looks like a really fun drive. 😎

Since he has recently passed gotta say it 'you got yourselves a convoy '
Where did they start and where they going
Started in Mendocino county California and going to mount Shasta

I’d like to know the route you took. I recognize all of it but it seems like they are out of order in my head.
We usually start south of Clearlake California and just drive on a bunch of fire roads through the Mendocino forest towards mount shasta
Very nice. Can you tell me the name of the song what playes from around 12:00 to 14:00? Thank you
Where is it at

How do you know winter is finnaly over? Vw drivers aren't scraping the inside of the windshield. Still have my 65 bug 45 years later.
You guys took those icy curves near the end of the video faster than I would have.

What is that ball shaped thing in the air at 28:14?
I'm glad someone else spotted that. I thought I was the only one, as no one else has commented on it!

@@journeymanadventure thank you
never seen so many splittees
Why would they keep driving their vans into the creek 😮
was the fella with the bad transmission able to finish out the trip
No I don’t think so
Why?
The road looks pretty sketchy in places. I'm not so sure I'd want to risk it if I didn't have 4 wheel drive.
Should have brought a hydraulic winch and a couple of extra batteries for that river crossing, just take a different route.

How many times have you crossed that river in a 60 year old vw bus?
