OCTO Meet 2023 Barndoor Roundup & The Rarest Bus in the World
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
On Saturday morning, June 3rd, Long Beach Veterans Memorial Stadium filled with 383 1967 and earlier Buses - a record-breaking turnout!
OCTO is globally renowned as the largest group of 1967 and earlier Split Window Volkswagen Transporters. This organization strictly focuses on first-generation (commonly called T1) Buses, and was established in 1998 by two dedicated VW Bus enthusiasts, Erik Koplien and Charlie Hamill. Since its inception, OCTO has provided a unique and social space for Bus enthusiasts.
The group organizes three annual meets in February, June, and October. The June event is always the largest and has consistently been a significant part of the So Cal VW Week, formally known as Classic Weekend.
Every June, the OCTO Meet attracts huge crowds, but this year was even more special because it featured the "Barndoor Roundup", representing the oldest era (1950-55 models) - an event-within-the-event eagerly anticipated by many Type 2 enthusiasts. Several historically significant Barndoor Buses joined the gathering, but the highlight was undoubtedly the "Hornbecker 1952 Deluxe".

Bullibrigade 2023 at Daytona International Speedway might have a thing to say about that!

Very COOL old T2's. Love those semaphores!
Enjoyed that!!! Loved the white coat shot and that cool dealer service bus!! Thanks HotVW’s!❤
A once-in-a lifetime event! Seeing in person Lind's insanely great bus-what a build that brings back something that has so much historical importance for our culture.
YAY! Been hoping for this video. What a great weekend! OCTO Barndoor reunion was beautiful. And the VW event in Huntington Beach Thursday and Friday gave a lot more time to savor the buses!
Much luv&respect from Hawaii
Got to love buses, nice video guys, super rides. 👌👌🌟
Grateful to participate. Thanks Shin and Eddie.
Great video, Eddy and Crew! This brings back fond memories of my early 1960 blue Panel Bus and the #SOTOMeets in #GardenGrove, with Jeff Walters, Steve Nye, and Charlie Hamill, in the mid-1980's!
Awesome

Split windows only?
