The ultimate sports and leisure vehicle, this classic 'ol school bus is ready when you are. I know that she's not that pretty, and I know that the interior is a little worn, but that's what gives this van its unique character. You can drive this anywhere and not have to worry about a little sand on the floor or getting a door ding at the local cantina. Just drive it and have fun with your friends and family. The best thing about this cool bus is how well it runs and drives. I will highlight some of its great mechanical features:
Rebuilt 1600 dual-port engine which just had a major tune-up and oil change. I was told that the engine has less than 20,000 miles on it. (unfortunately I do not have the paperwork for the engine rebuild)
4-speed manual transaxle shifts smooth and doesn't whine or pop-out of any gears.
Great brakes with good pedal, stops straight with no grinding or pulling.
Tight front-end doesn't wander or clunk. Drives straight down the road.
Nice factory style VW chrome wheels and hubcaps, with like new tires.
The 12 volt electrical system works well; head-lights, tail-lights, blinkers, horn, wipers, brake lights and new battery.
New windshield and wiper blades to give you that clear view of life.
This is is a relatively rust free van,with a great patina finish, what you see is what you get. The floors have been treated with rustolem paint. The under carriage is rust free and in excellent condition. The body does have some primer spots and body work in the right rear quarter. It's not perfect, but has tons of potential.
Folks, I'm selling this van in its unrestored state so that it can be purchased at a reasonable price and enjoyed immediately. The lucky buyer can drive it just the way it is for along time, or restore it in their own good time, to their own personal taste and budget. If you have any questions feel free to ask or if you're local and serious feel free to set-up a personal viewing. Thanks for checking out my auction and good luck bidding. Sorry the surfboard is not included, but the Mexican blankets do go with the bus. Peace to all....
