HERE IS A WONDERFUL 1967 VW SPLITY CAMPER BUS. THIS IS LIKE A TIME WARP OR TIME CAPSULE . THOUGH THIS BUS IS BASICALLY ORIGINAL I HAVE DONE A LOT OF WORK RECENTLY ON THE INTERIOR CAMPER PART. ALL WOOD PANELING ON WALLS HAS BEEN REPLACED AND IT WAS STAINED AND CLEAR COATED WITH URETHANE. THE INTERIOR CEILING WAS ALSO REPLACED WITH A WHITE FIBERGLASS TYPE OF BOARD WHICH BRIGHTENS THE INTERIOR UP AS WELL AS MAKES IT WATERPROOF FOR THE FUTURE. THE INNER CAMPER SURROUND HAS BEEN REPLACED AS WELL. I ELECTED TO REPLACE THE OLD FLOORING WHICH WAS VINYL OVER PLYWOOD WITH A HARD WOOD FLOOR. THE CURRENT WOOD WORK PROBABLY LOOKS BETTER THAN WHEN IT WAS NEW SINCE MATERIALS AND FINISHERS ARE BETTER NOW. THE YELLOW UPHOLSTERY IS FACTORY ORIGINAL AND UNTOUCHED. ALL CABINETS WERE JUST CLEANED AND REINSTALLED. THEY ARE VERY NICE AND NEED NOTHING. THIS CAMPER HAS A GOOD ICE BOX AND THREE FOLD DOWN TABLES THAT ARE EXCELLENT . THE CAMPER LOOKS LIKE IT WOULD SEAT 7 PEOPLE FOR A TRIP. THE BACK SEAT SLIDES INTO A BED. I REALLY COULDN'T SAY HOW MANY IT WOULD SLEEP COMFORTABLY. NOW SINCE I GUTTED THE INTERIOR OUT TO REDO WHAT NEEDED DOING I CAN ATTEST TO NO WRECK DAMAGE TO THE BODY AND NO FLOOR RUST. THE FRONT SEATS HAVE BEEN RECOVERED IN A LATER STYLE COVERING AS WELL AS THE DOOR PANELS AND UNDER DASH PANEL. A FEW YEARS AGO THE WINDSHIELDS WERE REPLACED AS WELL AS NEW WINDSHIELD SEALS. ALL THE OTHER GLASS IS GOOD AS WELL. THE BACK DOOR GLASS HAS PERIOD HIPPIE STICKERS FROM THE PREVIOUS OWNER. THE ONLY RUST I FOUND IS SOME BLISTERING IN THE SILLS BUT IT REALLY ISN'T BAD. THE BUS WAS PAINTED BACK IN THE 70'S SO YOU ARE SEEING EXACTLY WHAT IT IS NOTHING COVERED UP. IT DOES HAVE A FEW SMALL DINGS BUT IT JUST ADDS TO PATINA OR IT'S ORIGINALITY. IF YOU WERE TO PUT A NICE PAINT JOB ON IT THE BUS WOULD BE FINISHED. NOW FOR THE MECHANICS OF THE BUS, IT RUNS GREAT AND I HAVE TALKED TO MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THIS MODEL BUS AND THEY CAN'T BELIEVE THIS BUS WILL CRUISE AT 60 MPH EASILY. FROM WHAT I HAVE FIGURED OUT THE ENGINE IS A 1600 CC WITH DUAL WEBER CARBS. I BELIEVE IT HAS BEEN BUILT UP ON THE INTERNALS MORE THAN THE STOCK 1600 , IT JUST RUNS TOO GOOD. THE ENGINE DOES NOT SMOKE ANY AND NO BLOW BY; LIKE I SAID IT RUNS STRONG WITH NO ISSUES THAT I HAVE SEEN. THE BRAKES ARE GOOD AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WORKS AS IT SHOULD. THERE IS A LITTLE PLAY IN THE STEERING HOWEVER I HAVE NEVER OWNED ANOTHER BUS TO COMPARE IT TOO. IT IS A PLEASURE TO DRIVE . THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SMOOTH WITH NO NOISES OR CRUNCHING AND THE CLUTCH OPERATES SMOOTHLY. THE TIRES ARE MICHELINS WITH AT LEAST 80% TREAD HOWEVER THEY HAVE DRY CRACKS. IF I WERE GOING TO DRIVE IT AROUND TOWN I WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT THE TIRES HOWEVER IF I WERE GOING CROSS COUNTRY I WOULD REPLACE THEM. PLEASE VIEW THE VIDEOS I HAVE UPLOADED. THEY GIVE YOU A GREAT LOOK AT WHAT YOU ARE BIDDING ON. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO COME VIEW OR HAVE SOMEONE INSPECT IT FOR YOU BEFORE THE AUCTION IS OVER I WILL BE GLAD TO MEET WITH YOU OR YOUR AGENT. I BELIEVE IN GIVING AN HONEST DESCRIPTION THAT IS WHY I HAVE 100% FEEDBACK ON EBAY AND I HAVE BEEN SELLING ON EBAY FOR YEARS. I DON'T LIKE ANYONE TO BE DISAPPOINTED. THIS BUS GETS SO MUCH ATTENTION AND IT IS SO MUCH FUN TO DRIVE; IT MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE THE GOOD OLD DAYS. I HAVE SET A REASONABLE RESERVE THAT IS REALISTIC NOT OVER INFLATED. PLEASE DON'T ASK MY RESERVE PRICE I WILL NOT TELL YOU WHAT IT IS. IF YOU ARE THE WINNING BIDDER I EXPECT CONTACT WITHIN 24 HRS WITH PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS. I WILL ACCEPT A BANK WIRE OR CASH IF YOU WANT TO COME PICK IT UP AND DRIVE IT HOME. I WANT A $1000.00 NONREFUNDABLE DEPOSIT WITHIN 3 DAYS OF THE CLOSE OF THE AUCTION. THE BALANCE NEEDS TO BE PAID WITHIN 7 DAYS OF THE CLOSE OF AUCTION. THIS IS A 44 YEAR OLD VEHICLE AND IT IS USED AND IT DOES NOT HAVE A WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BID OR BEFORE THE AUCTION IS OVER. GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY BIDDING ON THIS GREAT SPLIT WINDOW CAMPER BUS.

I FOUND THAT I COULD ADD ONE MORE PICTURE TO THE LISTING SO HERE IT IS. THIS SHOWS THE LENGTH OF THE FLOOR WITH INNER SILL. IT ONLY SHOWS MINOR SURFACE RUST WHICH ANY 44 YEAR OLD CAR WOULD HAVE. THIS BUS DOES NOT NEED ANY FLOOR WORK OR SILL WORK OR ANY UNDERCARRIAGE RUST REPAIR OF ANY KIND. FROM THE FACTORY THIS BUS HAD NO UNDERCOATING AND HAS NEVER HAD ANY UNDERCOATING. IT IS AMAZING HOW NICE THE UNDERCARRIAGE IS. THIS WAS A TAKEN CARE OF BUS.On Jun-21-11 at 15:04:31 PDT, seller added the following information: DEPOSIT AND PAYMENT OF FULL PURCHASE PRICE IS TO BE PAID IN CASH , CASHIERS CHECK OR BANK WIRE. I DON'T EXCEPT PAY PAL FOR PAYMENT OF DEPOSIT OR PURCHASE TOTAL. THE BUS CAN ONLY BE PICKED UP ONCE FUNDS ARE CLEAR WITH THE BANK. TITLE AND VEHICLE ARE THEN GIVEN TO NEW OWNER. THANK YOU
