I’m selling my 1959 Volkswagen Double Door Camper bus. Everything works, recently restored. Not a rotisserie, bare metal restoration, but everything has been replaced and gone through. I bought this bus in 1998. Was a very solid and fairly rust free bus from the beginning. At that time I replaced the front doglegs (thin lipped ones were only available for me at the time), repaired the front floor with solid sections, new rockers below the cargo doors, cut out and patched a few areas in the wheel wells that had some pin holes. Painted it and then it sat in my shop for the next 15 years. Last year I dug it out to make it a nice, solid camper bus for road trips. Here is a quick list of what was done: New belly pans from Grumpy’s metal installed. Old ones were solid, just beat up. Looked like someone kept using them to jack the bus up. Perfect now. Rust at the bottom of the doors was repaired with Gerson and Autocraft panels. Repainted it with PPG Concept Dove Blue paint. Transmission rebuilt by Ranchero Performance with freeway flyer 4th gear for reduction boxes. Reduction boxes rebuilt with all new bearings. 1600CC Engine rebuilt. Case split with all new bearings, engle 110 cam, Mahale pistons, new 0 mile heads, rebuilt 34PICT carb, NEW: alternator, fuel pump, muffler, coil, plugs and wires. New clutch and pressure plate.

Front original VW emblem media blasted and painted, has rubber spacers between it and the body. All new door handles, interior knobs, window latches and strike plates, blinker switch assembly. All from Wolfsburg West. New Shocks This bus has been thoroughly gone through and nothing needs to be done, unless you want to add accessories for yourself. All of the small things have been replaced or rebuilt. The dove blue paint was matched from an original part that was not exposed to sun or the elements. This bus was not built as a concourse/trailer queen show car and has a few minor imperfections. You really need to be crawling around the bus, looking for these imperfections, to find them. This bus is ready for your camping adventures!

Clean Oregon title in my name. At some point the original m-code plate and title were lost for this bus. Previous owner had it re-titled to a 1959 single cab truck m-code plate and VIN. I do have the birth certificate for this bus from it's original VIN. See photo. The engine and m-code plate match the title which was recently inspected my the Oregon DMV and legally titled in Oregon. Title transfer will not be a problem since all vin plates and the title in my name match.
