Vehicle Detail
1974 Volkswagen Bus HardtopUp for auction is our 1974 Volswagen BusHere is what I know about it...I am the 3rd owner of this Bus, it was originally purchased in California in 1974 and was only occasionally driven. Around 1994 it was purchased by an older gentlemen in California who used it for about 18 years on the weekends for the swap meets. It sat in a garage for a couple years and became a home for mice and various other critters. I purchased it from the second owner and breathed life back into it. Here's what it has and has recently been done...55,100 original miles1800cc Dual carb motor. I bought 2 brand new carbs and linkage and has less than 100 miles on itElectronic ignition (no more point adjustments) :)Valves adjustedNew Distributor, wires, and plugsElectric fuel pump replaces the stock pumpNew fuel lines and fuel filtersNew brakesNew tires from Discount Tires. I will include the warranty paperwork.Freshly painted rims.New axles and rubberRebuilt transmissionNew front and rear engine sealsEngine timed and tunedNew ABS plastic door panels by WagenworksI had the bus in a local shop here for about 3 weeks and had the motor pulled and gone through to get it running good. Had everything I listed above replaced and/or repaired. All the electrical in the bus works, with he exception of the horn. It runs strong, shifts smooth, and brakes good.This bus has the ORIGINAL 40 year old German paint job which I believe is called Mango and in is in great shape. The body is straight but does have a few small dings here and there with a few touch ups also. The paint is solid and is right on the verge of a great patina if your in to that look. I was planning on painting it but opted to leave the original 40 year old German paint on it.When I found this bus, the interior was in bad shape, the bus had been taken over by mice which destroyed the seats, headliner, and a few panels. I replaced the damaged panels with high quality ABS plastic panels and recovered the entire back area with a black burlap. I do have the original panels which I will include if you want them. Seats were stripped and the front covered in new foam and grey cloth seat covers. Seats need to be reupholstered in OEM material though if you are planning to go for all original restoration.This bus has almost zero rust, there is a small rust spot starting on the battery tray, and under the driver floor boards, but both are small. All glass and rubber is original.We drive this bus every weekend and have a great time. If you are serious about this bus, I will help you schedule a third party inspection if you would like. I have bought and sold several VW's on eBay and have 100% feedback. If you would like any specific pictures that I have not posted, just message me with a text or email and I will be happy to send them to you. Bus has clear Nevada title, current registration, and insurance. Thanks for looking and please feel free to contact me with any questions. Serious bidders only. Please don't bid if you don't intend to purchase. It takes time and money to do this. Bus is sold as is with no warranty. I will work with you to get the Bus picked up or shipped, and will include all original parts that I have.Thanks for looking and happy bidding!Travis
