Where is "Butterball"?
« on: December 31, 2014, 10:22:51 AM »
Does anyone know the whereabouts of "butterball"? It's a 1972 deluxe (yellow/white)VW van. It was owned by several ASF members until about 2008 (or so). Since then it's been off the ASF grid and seems to have been owned by several people and may have moved across the country and back.

Here are some pics:

I am interested to see if it's still local and on the road.

Thanks.

Thanks Silas. I had checked with Steve a while back before posting this ad. He believes a carnie had picked it up and drove it to Manitoba, but he did see it a few years ago being advertised locally.

Bump...
