Sweet “Bus Find” – 1965 Vespa

When it comes to antique furniture, vintage scooters, vintage motorcycles, and classic cars I have heard the term “barn find” on numerous occasions. Finding a antique treasure thats been tucked away in an old barn for years and years, typically forgotten about and unwanted. I love hearing success stories about folks discovering those unwanted treasures. Being a Vespa dealer we hear about some great finds.

Ever heard of a “bus find”? In the show Antique Archeology, Mike Wolfe (the American Picker) travels coast to coast in search of junk (forgotten treasures). I just ran across a episode where he discovers a bus sitting in a junkyard full of vintage motorcycles and scooters (a 1965 Vespa VB). If your into vintage scooters and bikes, his find will make your mouth water. Check it out below.

There are a ton of junkyards here in Kentucky. If I could find a little time, I would love to travel around digging for treasures. I am sure there are some gems to be found here in the Bluegrass!
