This is a bus thats already in the country and was offered for sale by Jeff recently, I bought it off him and had the bodywork repairs done that were needed by Ron at VW Endangered Species and am now offering it for sale as a project.

It needed drivers floor sections, a new battery tray and the bottom of the nearside rear quarter pulling out where it had obviously hit something. The bus is a good solid shell to build up your own bus, will need a bit of tlc but compared to UK buses this one is absolutely rock solid, we gave the bottom half a quick polish (so not perfect) but it shows that the original paint is still there and will polish up nicely.

Bus is still full of sand in places and although the rear engine lid is missing its on its way from the states and should be here soon

No engine or box fitted but have a number of engines that could go with the bus for an additional sum, if you require any more photos or details please do not hesitate to ask,

That is damn cool. I drug it from a junkyard, and there it is. Wow. Looks great man. Really great. Wish I still had it. Cant pay that for it of course, but I wish I still kept it. Good luck with your sale.
 
Thanks Kirk, its amazing what a clean and a polish can do to faded paintwork,
 
Back to the top and a new price :mrgreen:
 
Back to the top
 
Back to the top, now its sunny :D , this is a very straight and sound bus, grab yourself a solid US bus :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
 
Can't believe theres no interest in this, a solid US bus that has had all the hard work done to it, just needs an engine and box which we can supply and even fit if you want for an extra amount, then prep for an MOT

A really good og paint finish.

Viewings available most days,
 
Why buy a bus needing welding when this one has it already done, if you are good with the spanners this is an easy project ;)

If not let us finish it for you :) :)
 
BTTT :mrgreen:
 
8) that is just wow ...just couldnt force myself to sell mine :( ...good luck though someone will have an amazing bus
 
Thanks for the comments.
