A Web site devoted to the restoration and sale of vintage VW cars, buses and other vintage cars

John Snell has been restoring and selling vintage cars including VW Beetles, Camper Vans, Porsches, and other VW cars since 1992. His uncle, Jerry Coffin, owner of J.A.C. Auto in Anoka, Minnesota got him started at a young age and taught him much of what he knows today about restoring vintage cars. Stop on in and buy your next VW Beetle or Bus!

Well, it's time for that to change - now we've added YouTube Videos - give 'em a peep! Here is a fun video montage of people selling stuff out of their VW bus - check out some pretty sweet custom buses! Stay tuned for some more great air-cooled bugs and buses and ghias oh my! If you have a video you'd like to share just swing your peepers on over to the forum and add some of your favorite vintage VW videos.

Then head over to the Cars and Buses Sold Gallery to see some of the vintage VW vehicles John has restored and sold in the last few years like a fantastic 1977 Westfalia VW Camper bus and a super sporty 1963 Ragtop VW Beetle, as well as a couple fantastic 356 Porsches.
