It's actually called a Volkswagen Type 2 but nobody ever uses that name.

Is that one of those Jefferson Starships I keep hearing about?

I wonder if it still smells like reefer inside?

Surprised these guys couldn't find it.

Headline: Washington State Van Found In Netherlands

Article: A Volkswagen van stolen 35 years ago in Washington state has been found in a shipping container at the Los Angeles/Long Beach seaport.

Meh, who needs fancy, schmancy reportin'

Came to see LOST post...leaving satisfied.

Always wanted one of the old camper buses..

Wish VW would go back to making them..

Fark Allstate.

I dont get how this is only Allstate wins in this situation.

That's EXACTLY what I called it the first time we played it. The kids were to young to get that so we changed it.

Where's the device that speeds up or slows down the passage of time?

was it found down by the river?

Was it full of shovels and rakes and other implements of destruction?

This is what I was waiting for. I can go now.

Would have been better off with WalMart stock. I think I'll stay away from the "get your van stolen" investment system.

Me and my son still play. The bad thing, his friends taught him how to hit specific nerves in the arm. Makes my whole arm numb.

/started playing when he was 3, he is now 15 and 6 foot 2

$27,000 = $3,940.00 in 1965 (according to US Inflation Calculator (new window))

The van isn't so much depreciation proof as it is inflation proof.

Anyone have any idea what the original retail was?

Why oh why oh why did I sell (ca 1992) my '72 Super Beetle to that scamming scumbag curbstoner for only $250.00.

Oh, I remember. I was very poor at the time. Still am....

kfj-: I dont get how this is (cool) only Allstate wins in this situation.

Came here to say this. I'd hate to be the original owner of the van. He'll have to buy it back at auction from the insurance agency, if he wants it back.

caveney: was it found down by the river?

Same thing happened to Al Bundy. Restored a car, only to find out it was stolen.

Sucks for the restorer.

I parted with a beautiful green Ghia in 1995 because I wanted air conditioning and hated smelling like oil ...same regrets.

Prolly around $2k new. My dad paid $3700 after tax for a brand new '65 Porsche 356c in July '65. The cost included a dealer added AC unit.

Is that why he raped & murdered all those people?
Seems like a pretty petty thing to become a serial killer over.

What's that? One of those Led Zepplins i've heard so much about?

Al Bundy not Ted Bundy.

My 67 splitty was the same color... Bought through the mail in 1987 and drove back from Oregon to Vermont. We all have vehicles we regret selling*, this is one of mine. Now my wife wants one, and here in New Zealand they're worth a pile of money.

What I want to know is how the vehicle has been around 35 years without being registered? If it's been in storage and if an innocent party was the last "owner", why they didn't run the numbers before dumping many thousands into the resto? I would never spend a dime on a secondhand vehicle until I had at least found out if there were outstanding tickets or liens on it.

Own a 67 standard hiding behind boxes galore. Sold and miss my Ghia's 1 vert 1 coupe, my sis has a 78 Vert rotting ungracefully outdoors at my parents house in Colorado.
