Newer exhaust system giving her a nice purr. All tires 95% tread remaining and less than 2 years old. A great gas saver and plenty of space inside and VERY clean. History: This bus was shipped from Germany to Portland, OR port and then delivered to the authorized VW dealership assigned. The original owner purchased at full sticker price from the Volkswagen dealership-distributor "Riviera Motors, Inc" 1737 SW Morrison St. Portland, OR. The original owner was an Electrical Engineer, highly educated on VW's, and settled in TX for most of his life. My father's friend had known the original owner for nearly 25 years and when his health was declining he made a promise to take care of this bus and take ownership. So the bus was relocated to north GA and kept preserved in his climate controlled warehouse where he had several other collector cars. He did drive the bus on sunny days and would keep up with the maintenance even though stored. I was informed by my father that he reached a point in his life where he was willing to let this bus go to a new home to someone within his network of friends. I mean sincerely that this bus has always been cared for, garage kept when not in use, and probably one of the nicest vans here in the Carolinas. Paperwork: Provided to the new buyer: original window sticker, receipts, original manuals and quality insurance brochure, radio owners manual, pre/after restore photos, and original wiring diagram fold out sheet. I've been told antique car evaluator that the paperwork alone has significant value in itself. VIN # 226036870 - A Collector 66 Split Window VW Bus. Clean, clear NC title in my name and fully insured. Located in Wilmington, NC. **Note: No International Bidding Please / US Funds - Cash, Wire Transfer, or Certified Cashiers Check accepted for payment.
