I HAVE LOTS OF PICTURES, WILL E-MAIL THEM AT REQUEST!
THIS IS A 1971 VOLKSWAGON BUS. I PURCHASED IT IN OCEAN CITY, NJ. DID A BUNCH OF IMPROVEMENTS, WHICH I WILL LIST. RECENTLY I HAVE NOT HAD TIME TO KEEP GOING WITH IT, SO I OFFER IT TO YOU TO FINISH. IT HAS A NEW 1800 CC ENGINE IN IT. THIS ENGINE WAS BORED OUT TO OFFER SLIGHTLY BETTER ACCELERATION, SOME OF THE TIN FROM THE OLD ENGINE WAS REUSED DUE TO THE DIFFICULTY OF FINDING ITEMS SUCH AS THE FAN SHROUD. THE TRANNY WAS INSPECTED AT A LOCAL FOREIGN CAR SHOP, AND THE OIL CHANGED OF COURSE. ALL FOUR TIRES WERE REPLACED AND THE REAR DRUM BRAKE ASSEMBLIES WERE REPLACED WHILE THE FRONT GOT NEW PADS BUT THE ROTORS AND CALIPERS WERE OK.I REMOVED MOST OF THE INTERIOR AND STORED IT INSIDE TO PROTECT IT. ITS ALL WOOD INTERIOR HAD SOME WEAR FROM NORMAL USAGE. I STARTED TO SAND ALL THE BIRCH PANELING DOWN, BUT NEVER FINISHED IT. THE HEADLINER IS ALSO BIRCH, THIS PIECE WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO BE REPLACED. IT ALSO HAS NEW EXHAUST J-TUBES AND MUFFLER. I REMOVED THE HEAT EXCHANGERS, THE PIPING IS STILL THERE IF YOU WISH TO PUT HEAT BACK IN IT. ALL OF THE WEATHER STRIPPING AND SEALS WERE PURCHASED FROM BUS DEPOT. I STARTED TO PUT A FEW IN, BUT MOST OF IT IS STILL IN BOXES. ALL OF THE WINDOWS ARE ORIGINAL GLASS. THE BODY IS IN DECENT SHAPE, THERE ARE DENTS IN THE RIGHT REAR AND RIGHT FRONT CORNERS. THEY ARE NOT HORRIBLE DENTS AND SHOULD BE EASILY FIXED. THERE IS ALSO SOME RUST DIRECTLY BEHIND THE REAR TIRES AND RIGHT BELOW EACH FRONT TIRE. OVER ALL THE BODY IS DEFINETLY RESTORABLE. IT HAS A FOUR SPEED MANUAL TRANS AND A BRAND NEW CLUTCH ASSEMBLY. YOU COULD PROBABLY PEEL WHEELS IF YOU WANTED TO. I DROVE IT FOR A SUMMER BEFORE COVERING IT WITH A TARP. IT WAS WINTERIZED BEFORE BEING PUT AWAY. I AQUIRED A BRAND NEW SIDE TENT WITH SCREENS FOR CAMPING, WHICH I WILL THROW IN A NO CHARGE. AND THE OLD ENGINE IS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. I HAVE SIDE LIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS ALL FROM BUS DEPOT AND ALL IN BOXES. THE MOTOR MOUNT (REAR) WAS CHANGED WHEN THE ENGINE WAS PUT IN. THIS WAS A VERY HARD ITEM TO FIND AS NO ONE MAKES IT AND A DECENT ONE IS FEW AND FAR BETWEEN. UPON PURCHASE I WILL FIRE IT UP GIVE IT AN OIL CHANGE AND A FULL TANK OF GAS. THERE WERE SO MANY LITTLE THINGS I DID TO IT I AM SURE I'M LEAVING SOMETHING OUT.
