Awesome. I'm a sucker for buses after resurrecting a 63 Kombi.

Great video, thanks for sharing, love seeing these being rescued. I had seen the helicopter/swamp bus lift but not this one. Crazy they had the thought to repair and drive it out. Can you imagine the look on the land owners face if he saw it leaving under its own power, lol! My dad bought a new 65 camp van from the factory in Germany and had it shipped back to the US. We traveled all over the NW in it when I was a kid in the 70's. I had a 66 in HS 88-89. Sold it for $1000 in 90. Found it about 5 years ago...Wasn't for sale. Sucks they are so far out of reach now. $10k for a basket case shell.

Does a 53 in the woods count? Accessible by ATV only, we got it but it wasn't easy!
