“KNOW THE STORY, SHARE THE DREAM, GET INVOLVED” What you are looking at is a 1969 Volkswagen transporter bus that has been fully restored by EMC in Ventura California. From the first day this bus came into the shop (March 18th 2013) till now, it has undergone an extensive 1 year full restoration all in the hopes to bring this “one of a kind” vehicle back to life to live again for another 40+ years! We knew from day one that this bus will need a lot of work, time and commitment to get it to the high level of quality we are aiming for. So what better way to show to the people the transformation this bus received than providing them with HUNDREDS of pictures? So we did! And I mean hundreds of pictures! From day one till now we snapped pictures of all the stages this bus has gone through. You will be truly amazed on how this bus went from 40+ years of age all the way up to dealership quality! And most of all, the story of this bus goes deeper than “just a restoration” it is my story behind it. I truly believe that the person interested in this bus is not just “buying” the vehicle; but rather you are knowing my story, believing my dream and getting involved. Let’s share this adventure together. Upon purchase of the vehicle you will receive a complimentary RESTORATION portfolio!

All body work done in metal with hammer and dolly, NO bondo was used, and any found on the vehicle was removed, minimal glaze was used to even the surface area after hammer and dolly work, then was sealed. High build primer was applied, sanded, and prepared for paint. PAINT- A gallon of single stage off white paint was applied in multiple coats on the top half and the complete interior of the bus then a gallon of beryl green was applied in multiple coats on the bottom half and into the engine compartment, then the exterior was color sanded and polished to give a long lasting shine. The engine compartment was finished off in black. The rims were stripped to bare metal and painted to a durable shine with the same color applied to the bumpers. Then the complete under carriage including fender wells were prepped and painted with black under carriage spray to preserve and prevent rust and protect from gravel damage. INTERIOR- After the complete interior was removed all surface areas were prepped, and had a generous coat applied of rust converting and encapsulating black paint called POR 15. Upholstery- the original upholstery material was removed from the frames and then the metal was prepped and coated with POR 15, reupholstered with high grade durable vinyl and tweed. A new vinyl headliner was installed of the original color and pattern. All new panels were purchased and wrapped to match the unique style of the seats. ALL factory floor mats were replaced with NEW rubber copies of the original to provide original feel and durability. All vent windows were rebuilt to achieve original functionality and were reinstalled with high quality German seals. Window regulators were cleaned and greased to provide smooth travel. Interior lights, handles, and cranks were replaced with quality reproductions to give the original feel and look. EXTERIOR- Fresh set of new tires p195/75R14 polished original deluxe trim, original glass, and every window and door seals replaced with brand new German seals. NEW windshield, original side glass, new stainless steel side mirrors, new head light rings, new VW emblems. Rebuild all vent windows. DRIVETRAIN- We started by stripping the 1600 engine down to the bare block. Took all the engine tins and stripped them down to bare metal and then did any needed repairs, sprayed them completely with the factor style black paint. The engine checked for tolerances then reassembled with new pistons, and barrels. The heads were machined and had all the parts restored or replaced with high quality replacement parts. The engine was reassembled with a real German gasket kit. The original carburetor and the distributor were rebuilt. A new and complete clutch system was installed. The transmission had the fluid removed, tolerances checked, and then rebuild gasket kit was installed. All new brake parts were installed. DISCLAIMER-Actual mileage is unknown. The mileage listed is what was read off the guage that was in the vehicle when the restoration ended. The bus is sold as is and has no warranty. If any issues come up with this bus within the first 30 days and is located within 200 miles of my location Ventura, Ca I will be happy to come and help resolve them.
