The family and I decided to borrow my dads RV and go on a little camping trip to the smokies over the thanksgiving break. We decided to take the back roads back to Chattanooga and discovered a little treasure trove of VW's. On highway 411 between maryville, TN and Madisonville, TN (maybe 30 miles) We saw upwards of 15 beetles, a ghia, a bay window camper, and a split window bus not to mention a half dozen early Chevy and ford trucks, a couple chevelles, and an el camino. It was classic cars gone wild spread out over maybe 15 houses and shops and they all looked for sale or negotiable. We didn't stop to investigate but I was surmised by the shear number.

You broke the code! You MUST stop, investigate, and report your findings. Go back and get details..........now. Twisted Evil

I knew I was breaking the rule as I was committing it! However peace in the RV and lack of money prevailed.....

The piece in the RV, I understand, but $$$ can always be found for VWs in a field even if you have to pass the info to a VW buddy. Cool

I've stopped at those places more than once when going the back way to Sevierville and have never been effective at buying any of those pieces!

The roads in Maryville are also horrendous to navigate without getting lost, especially on 411!
