Selling my rare bus to make space for other projects
For sale is 1968 VW Doublecab, I bought back in 2015 from OK and did most of the work to it so I can answer any questions you have. The doublecab works great and gets a lot of attention and generates lots of smiles. The 1600cc engine runs great with no leaks. I have a folder of my receipts and previous owners, this was VW dealership parts bus in Oklahoma originally.
