Arizona Bus Club

An Arizona-based, family-oriented club, dedicated to the restoration, preservation, and enjoyment of the pre-1968 Volkswagen Transporter. Open to all Type II owners and all VW enthusiasts

Welcome to the Arizona Bus Club's website!

We love camping with friends in the desert, up in the pines or out on the coast. We're at all the shows and help our sister clubs just as they help us. We spend time working on our rides and welcome anyone interested in Volkswagen buses to join the fun. We have our own Yahoo email group which comes in handy for setting up impromptu events or picking each other's brains.

Thanks for visiting the ABC’s website! Our signature event, the Jerome Jamboree was held September 12th – 14th at the Gold King Mine in beautiful Jerome Arizona. Congratulations to Richie Parrish who won the 1960 semaphore single cab raffle bus! We will be dividing up the proceeds among several local deserving charities in the near future and post the information here for everyone to see. While the Big Event is now behind us it doesn’t mean we’re done having fun and you and your VW are invited to join us for upcoming events in Tucson, Mesa and Yuma. Members are invited to join us at the Christmas Party in early December for a campout and pig roast.

Many thanks to the following vendors, clubs and individual donors without which we would not have been able to restore this or probably any other old VW bus:

Plus many more who helped tear down and reassemble the bus, or fetched us lunch and cold ones while we “worked.”

The ABC is nothing more than a collection of drivers and hobbyists who’s preferred mode of transportation is old air-cooled VW’s, preferably Buses. If that sounds like the kind of crowd you’d like to hang out with come to our monthly general meeting or look us up at a show.
