FOR SALE IS THIS 1968 VW BUS WITH LOTS OF MILES.....YOU MAY HAVE SEEN US AT VARIOUS NORTHERN CALIFORNIA VW SHOWS OR THE OREGON COUNTRY FAIR.... WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET...THIS BUS HAS BEEN PARKED FOR ABOUT TEN YEARS, IT RAN WHEN IT WAS PARKED, THE MOTOR STILL TURNS OVER WHEN YOU USE A WRENCH ON THE CRANKSHAFT PULLEY. THE MOTOR HAS ABOUT 60,000 MILES ON IT AND THE LAST REBUILD WAS WITH 88mm SLIP IN PISTONS FROM NIPPON PISTON RING COMPANY. I DON'T REMEMBER WHERE THE HEADS WERE PURCHASED BUT EVERYTHING ELSE WAS GERMAN PARTS THAT I HAD. THERE MIGHT STILL BE A FEW MILES LEFT IN THE MOTOR BEFORE A REBUILD IS NECESSARY. THE ENGINE CASE IS A VW UNIVERSAL REPLACEMENT CASE THAT HAS NO NUMBERS STAMPED ON IT WE PARKED IT WHEN MY MOTHER IN LAW CAME TO LIVE WITH US AND WE HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW SUV THAT SHE COULD GET IN AND OUT OF AND NO ONE WANTED TO DRIVE THIS OLD GIRL ANYMORE THE FRONT SEATS CAME FROM A VOLVO. NO SEAT BELTS. TIRES ARE LIKE NEW. LOTS OF LITTLE GOODIES ARE ON THIS RIG AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES. I HAVE RECENTLY SEEN BELTLINE TRIM SETS IN MUCH WORSE CONDITION THAN THIS GO FOR $200 +. THE WINDOWS(AIR CONDITIONERS) ROLL UP AND DOWN ALTHOUGH THE REGULATORS ARE STIFF FROM SITTING FOR 10 YEARS---THEY SHOULD BE CLEANED AND LUBED....THE SLIDING DOOR RUNS SMOOTHLY AND LATCHES WELL. TWO DIFFERENT KEYS ARE NEEDED TO LOCK HER UP SECURELY DUE TO REPLACING DIFFERENT LOCKS/HANDLES DURING THE YEARS THAT WE DROVE HER, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WILL LOCK RIGHT NOW WITHOUT A BIT OF CLEANING/LUBE THE BODY HAS SOME MAJOR RUST ISSUES WHICH I HAVE TRIED TO SHOW WELL IN THE PICTURES I AM SURE YOU WILL WANT TO GO THROUGH THE BRAKES ETC. BEFORE DRIVING THIS, BUT IT DOES ROLL I WELCOME INTERNATIONAL BUYERS BUT REQUEST THAT YOU CONTACT ME WITH THE NAME AND PHONE NUMBER OF YOUR SHIPPING AGENT BEFORE BIDDING. IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN AGENT, I CAN RECOMMEND ONE THAT I HAVE WORKED WITH PREVIOUSLY. THIS VEHICLE MUST BE REMOVED FROM MY PREMISES BY 1 DECEMBER 2013 OR ADDITIONAL $20.00/DAY STORAGE CHARGE WILL BE ADDED
