YOU ARE LOOKING AT A WONDEFFUL SPLIT WINDOW CAMPER. I AM SELLING THIS BUS FOR A FRIEND OF OURS. HER HUSBAND HAS OWNED IT FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS AND HE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF RESTORING IT A LITTLE AT A TIME AND HE LOST HIS JOB AND RAN OUT OF MONEY SO THEY ARE SELLING IT. I AM NOT MUCH OF A VW BUS GUY BUT I WILL DO MY BEST TO DESCRIBE IT TO THE BEST OF MY KNOLEDGE. IT IS A 1965 VW SPLIT WINDOW CAMPER. THE TAG SAYS ITS A SO 22. NOT SURE WHAT THAT IS BUT I DO KNOW IT IS A WESTY. lIKE i SAID HE HAS BEEN WORKING ON THIS RESTORATION FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS. HE BOUGHT THIS FROM THE ORIGANAL OWNER. HE DROVE THIS FOREVER THEN HE PARKED IT AND ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS HE DID WAS PULL THE ENGINE AND REBUILD IT. NOT QUIT SURE WHAT ALL WAS DONE BUT HE DID IT RIGHT. HE SAID THAT ONE OF THE ENGINE MOUNTS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND IT WAS NO BIG DEAL. THE ENGINE DOES NOT LEAK ANY OIL AND RAN STRONG. SINCE THEN HE HAS PUT ABOUT 5000 MILES ON IT THEN HE PARKED IT AND STARTED ON THE BODY WORK. I THOUGHT THE BUS LOOKED PRETTY GOOD BEFORE HE PAINTED IT BUT HE WANTED TO RESTORE IT SO HE STARTED WITH THE PAINT. IT LOOKS REAL NICE. THERE WAS A FEW SLIGHT RUST ISSUES LIKE AROUND THE FRONT WINDSHIELD SO HE CALKED THEM WITH SILICON FIRST BEFORE HE PAINTED IT. HE SAID WHO EVER BUYS IT SHOULD THINK ABOUT REPLACING THE SEALS. YOU CAN STILL BUY THEM CHEAP AT WOLFSBURG WEST OR BUS BOYS. HE DID TAKE OUT THE BACK GLASS AND REPLACE THAT SEAL . WHY HE ONLY DID THE ONE BECOUSE HE WAS ON A TIGHT BUDGET SO HE BOUGHT A LITTLE HERE AND THERE. ALL THE GLASS IS GOOD AND NOT BROKEN. HE DID PUT A NEW TENT ON WITH A RUBBER SEAL ABOUT 2 MOTHS AGO. YOU CAN SEE THAT IN THE PHOTOS. THE TOP GOES UP AND DOWN AS IT SHOULD. THE TABLE IS IN THERE AND WORKS GOOD. IT FOLDS DOWN SO IT IS NOT IN YOU WAY. HE PUT A PIECE OF VINYLE ON THE FLOOR SO THAT IS NEW. HE SAID THERE WAS NO RUST ISSUES SO HE USED A UNDERCOATING BEFORE PUTTING A SUB FLOOR FLOOR DOWN THE THE VINYLE. THE SEAT FOLDS DOWN TO MAKE A BED AND SEAT IS ALL ORIGINAL AND HAS NO TEARS OR RIPS. THE FRONT SEATS ARE THE ORIGINAL AND YES THEY HAVE TEARS BUT THEY ARE 47 YEARS OLD. THEY STILL SLIDE FORWARD AND BACKWARDS AS THEY SHOULD AND LIKE THE WINDOW SEALS YOU CAN BUY COVERS THAT LOOK ORIGINAL FOR VERY LITTLE MONEY. HE HAD THE DASH PAINTED SO IT LOOKS NEW. THE ORIGINAL RADIO IS NOT THERE. THE FRONT BUMPER IS ORIGINAL AND WAS PAINTED BUT THE BACK BUMPER IS GONE. HE CANT FIND IT. IF HE CAN FIND IT I WILL INCLUDE IT BUT AT THIS POINT I AM SAYING IT IS NOT THERE BUT IF HE FINDS IT YOU CAN HAVE IT. SINCE HE PAINED THE DASH HE JUST PLACED THE ODOMETER AND FUEL GAUGE IN. ALL THEY NEY NEED IS TO BE HOOKED UP. SAME WITH THE LIGHTS. LIKE I SAID, HE WAS IN THE STAGES OF RE DOING IT SO HE JUST PUT THEM IN THERE PLACE TO GET PHOTOS. HE JUST DID A COMPLETE BREAK JOB INCLUDING NEW SHOES AND BRAKE LINES AND A NEW BRAKE MASTER CYL. THE TIRES NEED TO BE REPLACED SOON DUE TO DRY ROT FROM SITTING. I TOOK SOME PHOTOS OF THE UNDERNEATH SO YOU CAN SEE HOW GOOD OF SHAPE IT IS IN. HE DID LOWER THE BUS ABOUT 2 INCHES AND IT LOOKS GREAT. HE GOT A LOT OF COMPLAMITS ON IT. I WOULD NOT RECOMEND DRIVING THE BUS SINCE IT HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A WHILE. WE HAVE A FRIEND WHO OWNS A AUTO TRANSPORT COMPANY SO WE MAY BE ABLE TO HELP WITH A DISCOUNT BUT IT IS YOUR EXPENSE. PEOPLE WITH NEGATIVE FEEDBACK OR 0 FEEDBACK MUST NOTIFY ME FIRST OR I WILL DELETE YOUR BIDS DUE TO ALL THE SCAMMERS OUT THERE. I EXPECT A REPLY RIGHT AFTER THE AUCTION CLOSE SO WE CAN MAKE ARANGMENT TO GET YOUR BUS TO YOU. I DO NOT TAKE PAYPAL BECOUSE I DO NOT BELEIVE IN THERE FEES BECOUSE THEY ARE OWNED BY EBAY AND THEY ARE GETTING ENOUGH OF OUR MONEY AS IT IS. I GET MY EMAILS ON MY PHONE SO I WILL BE QUICK FOR ANSWERING THEM SO LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR LOOKING AND HAVE A NICE DAY AND GOOD LUCK.
