Vehicle Detail
I hate to part with Gus, our beloved Bus, but my other car went down and as much as I may not want to admit it, a 1973 VW Bus isn't ideal for a single car family. Some of the highlights: -Engine was replaced in 2000, currently ~45,000 on the engine -To the best of my knowledge this is a 2.0L Power Master engine built by GEX International. It has hydraulic lifters. -Transmission was rebuilt in 2001, ~40,000 on the transmission -The Van sat for about 5 years before we purchased it -Fresh professional paint job. Two tone, beautifully done. A couple of nicks here and there, but all in all, better than you'll see from anything but a show car -New headliner. Still some work to be done, but it's in, which if you know anything about headliners, is a bear of a job. -New white-wall tires. I just bought them 8 months ago, but I was in Korea for 6 months so they don't have a lot of wear on them -New clutch cable -Engine runs beautifully, obviously doesn't like to start up when it's cold outside, but it starts and runs no problem. It will reach 65 on the freeway, 70 if you really push it. -New Battery -New front seat vinal -New Pioneer GPS CD/Radio with USB port system, amp and 4 speakers. -New Carpet -New Windshield and vent windows -New Window and door seals -New Gas Cap -New Heater Boxes -New shocks -New seat belts throughout, including three point harnesses in front -New aftermarket center console with cup holders -Undercarriage has been treated with a corrosion resistant coating. The body is rust free as far as I can see. I've also got some extras that are shown in one of the pictures. Don't get me wrong, there's still some work to be done. Once it became my daily driver I just ran out of time dealing with it. All the work besides the carpet was done professionally, with the maintenance done at a local air cooled engine, VW specialist. The interior still needs some work, but it wouldn't take much to make this into a real gem of a bus. The dash has some cracks in it. I've looking into refinishing it and it will cost about $150 to repair. The steering wheel is nothing pretty to look at. They run about $100. The rear seats are useable, but could stand to be resurfaced. I'm not sure how much this will cost. The milage shown above is the milage on the odometer. I do not know how many miles are actually on the bus. Thanks for looking!

It is the original paint showing through the anti-corrosion treatment.** This van has been my daily driver for the 2 years. There are no mechanical issues. One of the rear brake and turn lights currently doesn't work. It's not a bulb, but I haven't dug into it more than that.
