So where is it today? I read on Nostalgia vw that some of it still exists today?

There was a door at the Legends event before Bug-In 34 that "names" were signing.

I know it suffered a terrible crash and destroyed most of the car.  I had some shots we used for the Dean Lowry Memorial. I did not take them but will find them and post them.

A few very good crash shots on nostalgia VW

From reading that it sounds like a lot more than just a door may be remaining?!?!?!

I'm sure Russel is already all over this  ;D

Here is a shot of the Jouster that someone else took. It was pretty much destroyed in the wreck it was in...with the exception of a few parts. I believe it is on the nostalgia site that was done for Keith Seume's Cal Look site.

Judging by the picture, I would say this is one of the last surviving pieces of the Jouster (Taken @ Bug IN 34)
