Unbelievable 1977 Microbus head turner. Over 400 man hours spent on restoration by experienced VW builders. Phenomenal one of a kind bus WITH AC and generator!!!! Make it your show car, daily driver, or both! This is a great opportunity to invest in an iconic piece of history that continues to increase in value every day. This bus, though, is a one of a kind. The many pictures speak for themselves, but if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. 904 200 1081 and MAKE US AN OFFER!!! This 1977Volkswagen Microbus began its restoration with us as a great running daily driver, accident free with minimal dings, complete, licensed and registered and a very "sad to see go" seller. This bus is quite a find. RESTORATIONCompletely disassembled inside and out, down to a shell and power washed. All parts were inventoried and inspected for functionality and appearance. 90% of the original German parts were refurbished and reused as opposed to replacing them with a lesser quality aftermarket part usually made in China. BODYWORK & PAINT Entire bus was sanded. Any dings or scratches were repaired. Coats of “Fill-Primer” were applied to even out the body, sanded and prepared for paint. This two-toned bus was painted with quality DuPont automotive base coat/clear coat products. The roof, interior and bumpers are painted in light beige. Body is tan. Then entire bus was painted with several wet coats of clear. EXTERIORAfter paint has cured, the body was wet-sanded with 1500 grit sandpaper and machine polished for ultimate shine. All parts new and refurbished are carefully installed. All rubber seals and gaskets were replaced with new. Some but not all new exterior parts include; side mirrors, "smoked" taillight lenses and housings, clear turn signal lens, large and rare small roof racks, and more. Wheels are brand new stunning late model Audi 17” rims with brand new low profile tires. All glass windows were professionally installed with new seals. Front door windows, wings, trim, flaps and seals are new. All new body/door seals are also installed. INTERIOR & UPHOLSTERYFloor is also coated with undercoating, new plywood installed then covered with high traction area black carpet. Seat stands, rear cargo and side panels are covered with a flexible automotive black carpet. Dashboard and components were restored and dash repainted and reassembled. Door panels are new black vinyl. Stereo is a new Pioneer cd player with aux port and two 6x9 speakers mounted in the rear seats. 4 new black lap belts in the rear and two 3 point seat belts in front. New floor mat, kick panels, sun visors, handles, etc. Upholstery was done in house with new foam and leatherette vinyl. Featuring perforated and pleated black tops, solid black sides and accenting tan piping. All rear seat bottom cushions and cup holder/armrest lift up for access to plentiful storage. Front seats are comfortable bucket seats with headrest. UNDERCARRAIGE & MECHANICAL Entire underbody was power washed and completely sealed with automotive rust preventative undercoating. All mechanical and electrical components removed in disassembly are carefully inspected, tested and either repaired or replaced. Some, but not all, new components include; misc. steering, brakes, axle, shifter and suspension components as well as throttle, clutch, heater, and brake cables. So much more work went into the important mechanics of this bus there is too much to list, but feel free to ask any questions. ENGINE & TRANSMISSION Powered by a 2 Liter "pancake" Porsche Boxer motor which was disassembled and rebuilt. Then meticulously reassembled with many new parts and components including new Progressive Holley Weber carburetor and air cleaner, battery, spark plugs, seals, etc. 0 miles (except for our test drive miles) on the motor and tires.
