Wagenswest Hostile Pentecostal This is a June 1960 15 window, formerly a Pentecostal church bus and it has been off the road for a good 30 years or so. The chassis only has 90k but it was setting in Missouri so it has rust THIS BUS IS RESTORABLE! I got a hold of this bus awhile back and set out to drive it 2500mls round trip to the VW classic in Irvine CA so we first strengthened the frame rails with some boxing and a latter brace so it could handle the driving after that we went in to the suspension. Front end is a Wagenswest 3 inch narrowed adjustable caster beam with 5 inch dropped Porsche spindles and Porsche brakes using Wilwood 4 piston calipers and a dual circuit master cylinder with all new brake lines throughout . (One of the smoothest driving front ends I have ever built, 100 mph one finger on the wheel) Rear end has a (freeway flyer 388 bus 4th) pre 68 type 3 transmission with new wide five type three brakes and a set of Wagenswest adjustable off set spring plates. (Drives great but pops out of fourth sometimes and reverse is week but the tranny bearings are great) Suspension has a retail value of about 4,500 Engine is a 1968 1600 single port that runs really good. Electrical works great since the bus only has 80k on the chassis the controls are in just fantastic shape with new cables, bulbs, head lights, battery every thing needed to make it a good daily driver even the heater works. Steering box is raised 1.25 inch and the steering is so smooth! Has Wolfgang front safaris!! Most all the glass is original. Its an early 15window with lots of history that drives great now and is well worth restoring later.
