For 40 years, Gary Stratton specialized in restoring Porsches until his son recognized a growing trend and started restoring the iconic VW microbus. 

Now, the buses are filling up the garage while the Porsches wait their turn.

It’s a trend that’s gaining popularity. The Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction company recently sold a 23-window, 1963 bus for $217,000 — more than a Rolls-Royce from the same year.

Why? Because Baby Boomers didn’t drive Rolls-Royces in college; they drove microbuses. 

Gary and his son, Jason, explain how they restore these vintage vehicles and why their customers tell them it’s like stepping into a time machine. Find out which parts they restore with authentic VW parts and which parts get sports car upgrades for the 21st century.
