1979 Volkswagen Bus

Description

Hello VW enthusiasts across the country (and maybe world), For sale is my rare all original and good condition 1979 Volkswagen bay windowbus Riviera (2.0L fuel injected original motor) with 72,000 original miles. It is the pop top camper version with the riviera style top and interior. It has recently been serviced and tuned up and is cross country road worthy. Just passed smog and currently resistedin California(until march 2018). Recent work includes new tires, brakes, electrical (blinkers, lights, horn, brake lights, windscreen wipers, speedometer, fuel gauge), full engine tune up including new spark plugs, belts, and some wiring. Engine, transmission, and clutch are all working flawlessly. Paint is original blue outside and in... with some patina and typical minor surface rust, I decided to keep this instead of spraying some garage paint job that looks nice for a year or two and then fades and cracks. The interior is nice, in good condition for being original. Sink works, there is propane tank and hook up if you want to put in heater, stove or fridge. This model came with an icebox but it was smelly and rotten so I took it out, now its a pantry area. It sleeps 4 comfortably with the straight up Rivera style pop top and the bottom bench that folds into a bed. It has the original table and stand, as well as rear facing seat and stool seat to fit 4 people around the table. Headliner looks like new, and front seat upholsteryis nice and in tact with no tears or rips. The bed and bench seating also has no rips and is in great condition. Interior lights work when key is turned on. Radio is new and has bluetooth and aux connections for music, with a nice Sony soundsystem installed front and back. The Pop Top hinges and seals are good, although the canvas may need to be replaced, it is in good condition but some of the screens have been patches which isn't a huge deal but that is how it is. The bad....- Some minor surface rust on front from rock chips nothing serious or deep- Minor Surface rust beneath some window seals (really common among these busses) again nothing deep, just surface level.- Window seals are old but still water tight so not a big deal- Battery tray has typical rust, and should be fixed (only place on bus with rust through)$1000 dollar deposit within 24hrs of sale and the balance is due within a weekI am not interested in low balls or people looking to help sell the bus so dont even try to contact me.
