Vehicle Detail

That 70's Bus!!! It just doesn't get much more retro than this, a time machine in motion. Preserved in all its natural glory, you could be the lucky owner of a fabulous piece of history. This bus was customized into a functional weekender style camper back in 1978 and sold new at Mountain States VW , the first VW dealership in Denver, Colorado. An eclectic, artist woman bought it new and drove it in till just last year when her eyesight finally prevented her from getting her license. She then bequeathed it to a family friend who didn't have a place to keep it and sold it to me. The amazing thing is that it only has 68,198 miles on it. As a licensed Colorado dealer, I will have to sell the van as mileage exempt per state law. OK, back to the fun stuff, how about the shag carpet, and Herculean upholstery, doesn't it bring you back to Grandmas house? Throw in the custom sunroof, vintage metal roof rack and split bench seat which doubles as a bed and your ready for anything. This bus was in exceptional condition when I purchased it. I had it painted the factory Sage green because the original paint was faded and there were some small nicks and scrapes here and there. ( I did tell you that the artist eyesight was going) This bus is as original and rust free as you could possibly imagine. It runs like a top and gets crazy attention everywhere it goes...I could go on and on and on, but instead will just cut to the highlights: Exterior Straight Body Rust Free Clean Floor panels SunroofMetal roof rack Interior Custom retro front seats in perfect condition Split rear bench/bed Clean original dash in fantastic condition Old school AM/FM Radio works with two speakers in front doors Engine 2.0 Fuel injected engine runs great Major Tune-Up New plugs, cap,rotor, ignition wires and filters Fresh 20/50 Valvoline motor oil 125 pounds compression all the way across Runs fantastic Brakes Newer Front PadsNewer Rear Shoes Emergency Brake Works great Stops Straight and SmoothElectrical New 12 Volt BatteryHigh and Low Beam Headlights WorkWipers WorkHorn WorksTurn Signals WorkTaillights WorkBrake Lights Work Back up lights workInterior lights workHeater works All Electrical in Good Working OrderTransaxle Shifts Super Smooth, doesn't grind or pop out of any gearsMiscellaneous New windshield,seal, and wipers New Goodyear radial White wall tiresCustom Chrome Beauty ringsNew rear hatch seal One key fits all, Amazing...
