Surfing Safari....From the moment I got this bus I thought of it as the ultimate surf bus. It can be anything you want though, from being the coolest soccer van on the block, to cruising thru the mountains, to just showing it off at your local park. This is just a fantastic all around 7 passenger bus. With its beautiful two tone Reef Blue-Pastel White paint and clean original interior it just begs to hit the road. These vans were so ahead of their time, way before there was any thing called a mini-van. These buses are so versatile, with plenty of room to haul your gear,your friends and your family. The motor just purrs, and runs like a dream. It was motor was rebuilt recently, is very clean, and sounds great with plenty of power. The trans axle shifts smooth and doesn't grind or pop out of any gears. The front disc brakes were just replaced with new rotors and the rears shoes are like new as well so it stops straight and smooth. The front end is tight with recently replaced ball joints and doesn't clunk or wander. The front and rear shocks were replaced recently too. All the electrical works as it should. For its age everything feels tight, you really don't feel like you are driving a 35 year old vehicle. It's hard to find the right words to describe this incredible bus.

Which makes it somewhat rare and desirable in my opinion...Sorry the surf board is just a prop and not included in the sale :) If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. If you are local and serious feel free to set-up a viewing. You can also learn more about me by clicking on the "me" link next to my feedback score and going to the link for my website.
