What did you score at the swap meet today ?

[Lee.C]

Found this 1959 bus engine yesterday, along with a 356 transaxle, '53 Beetle engine case, a pair of 40 Dellorto's, and some more. Totally complete and original from the air cleaner to the exhaust tip, except for the voltage regulator. Looks like it should run..

NICE FIND!!!! 

[restojohnny]

VW parts around the corner had to take a look and there they were...NOT close to perfect but empi just the same....The front bumper has one guard and the bumper stiffener the rear has the towel rails one side is 67 only the other is earlier but for $5.00 dollars I'm smiling for sure LOL.

Bolted it to the engine stand, gave it some fuel, and it starts and idles. Did nothing else.

I know, the steeringwheel is from formula and the push Horn is speedwell.
It is avery heavy and solid steeringwheel.

I recieved the rare early type 3 rear ashtrays in the mail aswell today

I guess somebody found out the hard way (again!) you can't fit Big Wheels to a Bus!

Yeah I was thinking the same thing LOL but the chrome on yours was much cleaner if I remember right. I have a bunch of broken ones now on my display wall thinking of cutting the centers and trying to make a couple good 15's   Man this is a great wheel I just wish they made it better/stronger. I had no problems with driving around with my 14's on my old bus year's ago. I got the Big wheel for free as everyone at pomona know's I like broken wheels to hang on my wall so they hook me up whenever they can.

[Zach Gomulka]

This is the one I had, 15x8. Paid $10 at the Vegas BOR. I miss that event!!

[restojohnny]

Yeah I wanted that wheel when you posted it for sale but my trigger finger wasn't in action at that moment. Man to me that wheel is nice 

[restojohnny]

I'm on my way home at the moment from northern california and stoped at the mcdonalds saw a bug on a tow truck looked into it and saw this empi steering wheel. It's not perfect but it's not bad either I asked the guy what's up with the bug and he said they are going to crush it. So I asked if he would sell me the steering wheel on it and he said just take it cuz it's all messed up anyway   So enough said it's mine now

Nice score! I got an EMPI Steering wheel at a junkyard in 1995 or so. I didn't have a socket big enough so I had to buy the whole column.
