Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon (1958)
for sale
Price: US $0.99
Price: US $0.99
Up for sale is my 1958 Palm Green Sand Green Standard Bus
This is an excellent running and driving bus, and has had work done by the best VW Shops in Southern California, but it is an old bus and does have some standard issues.
The Good:
- 2180cc Engine
- 4 Narrowed Adjustable front beam with dropped spindles
- Lowered rear via 1968 Transaxle and eliminating gear reduction boxes
- Freeway Flyer 4th
- New Nose Clip and Rust Removal from front end by West Coast Classic Restorations
- Original Middle Seat!!!!
- New correct Mohair Headliners and correct interior Panels installed by West Coast Classic Restorations
- Front and Rear Wolfgang Safari Windows and Six Side Pop out windows installed by West Coast Classic Restorations
- Front Wilwood Disc Brakes installed by Old Speed
- Electrical work performed by Old Speed
- Uncut dash and correct pressed bumpers
- Flat 4 BRM Wheels
The Bad
- While the paint is Palm Green/Sand Green, I believe the original color was Sealing Wax Red, as red paint is visible in the engine bay and various hinges. I cannot make out the VIN Number stamped in the body and have not requested a birth certificate to double check my paint assumption
- There is come cracking in the paint in back rear corner. I assume this is due to bondo
- There is some paint missing from the rear fender, about a half dollar size (can be seen in pic)
- There is rust underneath. There are no holes anywhere in the pan, but there is some visible rust under the bus - One of the original side pop out windows has a crack- Left driver side door handle needs adjustment- Horn is not working
The Engine is very strong and the bus cruises at 70mph with no issues, but could definitely use a tune up. The lowered stance and favored Palm Green/Sand Green paint make this a popular bus anywhere you go. Its not a concourse bus, but will be a fan favorite in any local show.
The bus is available to be seen/driven upon appointment. Please email first.
