Owner said
This bus runs and drives. needs a little tinkering to be a true driver. Will listen to offers and partial trades. Unless a full trade on a nice 4x4 truck.

The Good: It has new front floor pan,dog legs, right rear corner and battery tray from California imports professionally installed , and new a pillars from classic fab. NOS front brake pads and wheel cylinders. New brake lines thru out, new fuel lines, master cylinder. New rear pads and wheel cylinders. Front brakes are bus, rear are car. Has a new transmission with new axle boots and axles. used tubes. Trans is a .412. New production tail lights and assembles, new battery, headlights (not installed yet). all new rubber mounts on trans and motor. Motor is a used 1600 out of a 68 beetle. Runs great, smokes somtimes when you first start it, only when it starts up, just a puff. Has newly built drop spindles up front and drop plates in the rear. Does not have gear reduction boxes. Can't think of anything else, but all the stuff to do with brakes and all is new, lots of new little odd and ends like pedal rod and springs, and cables. ALl glass is good.

The Bad: Still has some rust. Few little swiss cheese under seats not bad at all. THe back pan is solid actually. The belly pans have some rust in them but not horrible. couple small spots in the separator behind the seats. under the rear cargo doors is rusty, easy fix. The drivers rear corner and tray rusty, the inner door on the drivers side bad rusty, passenger front rusty too on inside but not as bad. One cargo door latch isnt free and wont open. Drivers door latch froze as well and will not shut. No latch on the deck lid., top of deck lid rusty and one hinge loose. no rear apron. Riif has rust along the drip rail in a few difference places. Not all the way around. Has a golf ball size hole in middle of the roof (was covered in leaves). Have rear bumper but only one mount so haven't mounted yet. tail light wires are there but have not plugged up to see if wires are good yet, new headlight switch included but not yet wired. Needs gas pedal hinge welded in and a pedal put on. Have the hinge. 3 tires are new, one holds air but leaks and is dry rotted. Includes two of the original dome hubcaps.

Overall this is an awesome hard to find bus. Would love to keep it but financially do not need to. I have drove it a few times around the neighborhood about 3 miles each time. sort of hard with no gas pedal but its doable for sure. Just needs dailing in and a few odd and ends finished up like the lights. motor seems to be a good motor and runs really well. Have a new mirror and mount also but not mounted it yet. Just needs someone to finish her up. make a great patina ride, or finish the metal work and make a very nice bus. NO EMAILS, calls and txt only Bill of sale only Alabama does not title vehicles this old
