1969 VW Bus Runs Great and shifts smoothly. I have been driving my wife and kids to camping outings since I purchased it about 3 years ago and at least once a month to work. This has been a really fun and reliable vehicle. It has very little rust, nothing major, and has been kept in the garage. Maintenance is up to date and has a Marine Hybrid battery less than a year old. It will do 70mph on the highway all day long, It has its' original am/fm radio but it also has an aftermarket hidden am/fm radio by Custom Autosound (it can accomodate a CD changer if you want to add one). The interior is in good shape and good working order. The headlights have been upgraded to High Intensity Halogen. The weatherstripping is in good condition. I'm including in the sale the blue canopy, the blue table, and the one-wheeled Allstate Sears trailer which has zero rust. These retro looking trailers rarely come up for sale and are very sought after. Please don't ask if I will sell trailer separately as it will be sold with bus. The longest trip we have taken was 4hrs each way but I would not hesitate to drive this bus anywhere. I have a clear notarized Arizona title in hand (in my name, no liens, etc), odometer read ~155,000. True miles are unknown and unverifiable. I believe engine was rebuilt by previous owner as it does not burn oil and is too strong to be in original state (I purchased the bus at an auction). I like to be completely honest about what I am selling because I too hate surprises, so here is a list of observations. 1. The vent/heater controls do not have knobs, however the levers are very easy to move. 2. The floors boards had minor rust pitting and small holes which were treated and repaired. 3. The base where the battery sits has rust holes. A very sturdy metal frame battery holder was made to secure battery. 4. It no longer has the foldaway top cot, but because my kids were always wanting to sleep up there, I made a board and cut some foam to fit and turn the upper area into a bed. 5. One of the large side windows is missing its screen. 6. The windshield wiper solution sprayer does not work. All components are there, but I think the push button is the culprit. 7. There is a very small dent on bottom part of passenger side door. It looks like repair work was performed on the bottom side of driver side panel (can't tell if it was due to rust on dent), and also on corner of driver side door frame. See Pics. 8. Paint is not in perfect condition, it looks like it has been touched up in small areas. Again I have owned the bus for 3 years and have no idea when it was last painted. 9.My kids lost my keys and all I could find was the spare ignition key. A key for the doors/hood will need to be made. A non refundable $500 deposit is required within 2 days of auction's end. I will accept a deposit through pay pal, but balance must be paid via Certified Check, Wire funds, Money Order or Cash with 7 days. Price does not include shipping. Purchaser must set up own method of shipping but I could drop her off anywhere around town if needed. This is a 44 year old bus that is a driver and not a trailer queen. The same goes for the trailer. They are not in showroom condition, so both are being sold as is with no warranty or guarantee. This is an good running VW bus and its condition is as described. Please ask additional questions if you need more information, I'll be happy to write or call back. Check my feedback rating and bid with confidence. if you want pics of something specific that I have not posted, I'd be more than happy to take them and send them to you. Thanks for looking and good luck. BTW, I really do hate to sell her (my kids are not going to be happy with me that's for sure) but I need the money, which is why the reserve has been set so low. Also, I reserve the right to end the auction early.On Feb-09-13 at 04:09:33 PST, seller added the following information:Answer to rust question on side panel; I removed the inside panel in order to get a better look at the repair work performed on the bottom side of driver side panel mentioned in my description and it looks like it has several drilled holes which were most likely used to pull a dent out. As far as I can see there is no visible rust or rotting.
