Here's some pictures of Dutch's bus before they cleaned it up, put orange wheels on it and sent it to auction.
The book is an amazing compilation. The best Von Dutch reference work out there. If you dont have one, I'd suggest you grab one. Still a steal at 150.00

 

Unkl Ian, you just may be right. Last I heard (a couple months ago) there were very few books left. If anyone was interested, I'd recommend checking, it's an amazing book.

 

Last I heard, Steve Kafka owned the Von Dutch Bus, and it was being restored.

 

It's only AU$110 over here....about US$100 (not counting the postage).

what are you talking about wow

 

Shit I knew I should have bought one of those books when they were still 50 bucks
the reg edition as of 5 min ago is as high as 275.00 on egay

 

You're alright Southpark!

 

Back to the toolbox, What's the history of ownership? Did it go from Walker Howard,
to Dutch to Betz,to Whitworth, or was Brucker an owner for awhile?

 

I thought the original looked like that but without the "originator of modern pinstriping" on it...

 

What you never see are the guns and knives he made. Amazing stuff.
I think he put his heart into those. They were for fun and soul, painting was just a job.

 

Just got an e-mail from Tornado - glad I bought my copy before they came out
