No longer for sale, will be converted shortly to my new office at the new shop! Thanks!

UPDATE! She runs and drives!! Fuel system flushed, tank cleared, with a jump she fired right up! Same price, $13,000. Thanks!

Thanks! Some interest for sure, nobody bought it yet! If I still have it after moving shop, fresh battery and full awakening is on the menu! I hope I still have the will to sell her after the first test drive...

Not sure if there are any stockists in the UK, but Wolfsburg West makes it easy with it already mixed in the can! Here is a link: http://www.wolfsburgwest.com/cart/DetailsList.cfm?ID=paintL90D" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I buy the L91 chrome color for the stock wheels...

Bump to update price to $13,000. Price good until the 1st of September, after that off the market until she's fully road ready. Then you can pick her up here and go for a US tour before shipping her home!

I am keeping well, thanks! This bus is now listed for sale, found a splitty I just have to have!

I just found an early split I want more than this bus, so it's up on the block. Price is $15000 USD, around 9000 Sterling. One owner from new, they stopped driving it in 1988. The pictures do it a bit of justice, it is unbelievable to find a bus in this condition. Serious inquiries only...

I think 7.6:1 will be great, you'll definitely ditch the pinging then! I was pretty sure the heads were suspect. If I were in the business of selling used rebuilt heads I would mark the cc for each cylinder in pen right on the box.

My wife put her foot down and told me that we WILL be camping in this bus. Bought it from the original owners, now in their 80's. Last driven in 1988! One little ding around the left taillight, no other damage. Only rust I see is surface rust under the windshield. Was sold new at Wes Lasher...

I'm leaning toward two possible causes... What 009 is it? One of the new Chinese ones? Brazilian? German? I've read articles that have tested the different manufacturers of 009 distributors and found them all (when compared to a German built one) to have a few degrees of error in the...

Price drop! $7000 landed in the UK! I'm moving shop and having a nice sell off, means less stuff to move! Thanks guys for the compliments on this bus! 94 DETAILED photos here, undercarriage etc.: http://www.flickr.com/photos/woodslat/sets/72157627167281677/"...

THis is a factory highroof panel, special ordered with recircluting Eberspracher heater, cooling fans, windows in the slider door and opposite, plus many more M codes. Was custom ordered for a camper conversion and European delivery. Price I'm looking for is around $10,000 landed in the UK...

My engine builders grind their own camshafts for twin port engines to avoid this problem. 34 Pict carb and 009 distributor straight on with no mods, no flat spot. After the engine is built to factory specs, the only cure I've heard of before is adjusting the accelerator pump arm to engage...

Monty turned out amazing! What a gorgeous bus!

Up for sale, a driving original 1972 Deluxe Microbus fitted from new by Adventure Campers. This one is rarer than most, as they didn't lob off the whole roof skin and add a fiberglass hightop. The area to the right of the engine lid has had some bodywork, and has rust bubbling above the bumper...
