Vehicle Detail
Up for bid is my 1967 VW Camper Bus. I have owned this Bus for 22 years. I purchased the bus in it's original condition in Boulder Colorado. I moved toMinneapolis and drove the Bus to Minnesota. It underwent some restoration in those early years. About ten years ago I had it repainted by a professionalbody shop. There were no rust issues to repair just minor dings and scrapes. I have never liked rusty old classic's as it's just an unending job doing rustrepair. This Bus has a quality older restoration but it IS NOT the caliber of a Barrett Jackson high end rotisserie restoration. On a scale of one to ten Iwould rate it about an (8) eight. In 1999 I was on my way to a VW meet in St Cloud, Minnesota. At 55 MPH the original engine spun a bearing. Unfortunately, I had to have the Bus towedhome. I put in a rebuilt engine and a better carb. Since 1999 I have driven the Bus less than 500 miles. That would also be the miles on the tires and wheelsI had put on the bus. The Bus runs and drives great. It could be driven anywhere as far as I know. I am selling because I am old now and just don't use the Bus at all. (500 miles in the last 14 years) The time has come for me to scale down on my toys.Finally, I don't consider this bus to be show quality, just fun quality. That said I have won best of show, or peoples choice, in the smaller local car shows.I just purchased a 'Retro Sound" radio for the Bus as my old cassette radio was funky. I did not receive the specific face plate I need for the stock openingon the dash, so the radio is not yet installed. A face plate is on the way from 'Retro' so I hope to have it installed in a few days. There is a photo of the radioin my photo gallery. Thanks for viewing my Bus and good luck bidding.
