Ready for the open road! Tour the states in this restored 1971 Volkswagen “tintop” camper. This
bus is a solid, very dry, Southwest Kansas classic. I pulled this beauty out of
a field 10 years ago where it had set for 20 years. I have since been restoring
and bringing it back to life in my spare time. Now it’s your turn to relish
this original as others stare on enviously. The body was painted was in 2012
with the interior upholstery update following in 2013. At that time I begin
venturing out with the bus on nice weekends and short trips. During the winter
of 2016 the engine was overhauled to a 1641cc with a freshly rebuilt/ rebushed German
34pict3 carburetor, and electronic SVDA distributor. While the engine was out
the transaxle was serviced, a new clutch was installed, and the entire brake
system was overhauled. Since rebuilt, the new engine currently has about 300
miles. I just returned from a 100 mile cruise and the bus performed
flawlessly. While never intended as a show
car, this bus has earned recognition having taken “First- In -Class” at multiple events. That being said, with the
paint being 5 years old the bus does have a few very minor blemishes to the
well trained eye. This is a
fantastic, mechanically sound, reliable, rust-free VW Bus ready to take you on
many outdoor adventures or to use as a daily driver. I hate to see this bus go
but I have acquired a split window bus that needs the same treatment is one
received.
I reserve the right to end this auction early as the bus is advertised on other sites as well.
