OTHER COLORS ARE HEIRLOOM WHITE AND ROOF IS KHAKI. COLOR COMBINATION LOOKS AWESOME.BODY IS NOT PERFECT BUT IS VERY STRAIGHT. A COUPLE OF PLACES THAT HAD LIGHT RUST WERE SANDED TO BARE METAL, TREATED WITH RUST CONVERTER AND THEN PRIMERED, PAINTED AND CLEARED.BUS ENGINE 2.0 (Type 4) COMPRESSION WAS TESTED BY A MECHANIC AT 115-120 FOR EACH CYLINDER, BUT HE THINKS IT NEEDS A REBUILD ON THE CARBURETOR AS IT BACKFIRES ONCE ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME WHEN I TURN IT OFF AND ENGINE SEEMS TO LACK POWER.LEAKS A BIT OF OIL FROM LEFT SIDE VALVE COVER GASKET.THIRD GEAR GRINDS BUT GOES INTO GEAR AND STAYS IN GEAR (COULD BE SYNCHROS).2" DROP SPINDLES JUST INSTALLED THIS WEEK AND REAR WAS DROPPED TOO. WILL INCLUDE OLD ORIGINAL SPINDLES AND ALL PARTS REMOVED FOR DROPPING IT (IF YOU REQUEST THEM) SO IF YOU WANT TO BRING IT BACK TO STOCK HEIGHT YOU CAN DO THAT.NEWER SHOCKS.BLINKERS HAVE BEEN TESTED AND FRONT LEFT WORKS,OTHERS MAY NEED BULBS OR HAVE ISSUE WITH WIRING.PLASTIC ON BLINKERS AND BLINKER BODY / ASSEMBLY (FRONT AND REAR IS OLD AND BRITTLE).HAS REAR BENCH SEAT BUT NO MIDDLE SEAT AND IS IN GOOD CONDITION. FRONT DRIVERS SEAT IS DECENT WITH A SMALL TEAR. PASSENGER FRONT SEAT NEEDS NEW FOAM ON CUSHION PART AND REUPHOLSTERY.HAS ALL ORIGINAL RUBBER MATS IN CARGO AREA, WALK-THROUGH AREA AND CABIN. CABIN ALSO HAS CUSTOM MADE RUG AND FRONT BOTTOM CARPET PANELS TO MATCH ALL PANELING.CARGO AREA FLOOR HAS ALSO BEEN TREATED FOR RUST.

ALSO COMES WITH 4 SPEAKERS, AMP, AND SUBWOOFER.INTERIOR PANELING HAS BEEN REDONE WITH GREY CARPETING AND LOOKS NICE.HAS ORIGINAL ASHTRAY BEHIND DRIVERS SEAT. FRONT DOOR CARPETED PANELS HAVE NOT BEEN INSTALLED. I WILL LEAVE THOSE TO BUYER TO DO AND CUTOUT THE HANDLE AND WINDOW CRANK AREAS. I WILL ALSO INCLUDE VENTS / ARMRESTS FOR FRONT DOORS, MOST PEOPLE DON'T REINSTALL THEM.COMES WITH SURFING STICKERS AND OTHER COOL STICKERS.
WAS FUEL INJECTED AND CONVERTED TO CARBURETOR BY PREVIOUS OWNER BUT I WAS TOLD IT COULD POSSIBLY NEED A REBUILD ON CARBURETOR AS IT IS WAY UNDERPOWERED FOR A 2.0COULD USE NEW WINDOW AND TRIM RUBBER.TIRES ARE IN GREAT CONDITION, ORIGINAL RIMS AND HUBCAPS IN NICE SHAPENEW SPARK PLUGS, CAP AND ROTORHEADLINER HAS ONE SMALL CUTDISK BRAKES IN FRONT AND WORK PERFECTCLUTCH IS GREATHORN WORKSPARKING BRAKE WORKSCARBURETOR ON IT NOW IS A 32/36.HAS ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP AND NEEDS A FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR, THIS IS MOST LIKELY THE REASON FOR IT BEING UNDERPOWERED AS CARB MAY BE GETTING TOO MUCH GAS.
I GOT A SECOND DIAGNOSTIC FOR WORK NEEDED ON MOTOR: NEEDS CARB REBUILD AND FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC THAT SAW IT IT SHOULD RUN GREAT WITH THAT DONE.
I ADDED SOME INTERIOR PICS TODAY.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK.MAY NOT PASS EMISSIONS AND WILL NOT GUARANTEE THAT AS THIS VEHICLE IS 41 YEARS OLD AND I'VE ONLY OWNED IT A SHORT TIME AND DON'T KNOW IT'S HISTORY (IN TERMS OF SMOG / EMISSIONS EQUIPMENT).FRONT SEAT ARE SHOWN BEFORE CAR WAS PAINTED AND PANELED.CAR HAS A GREAT STANCE AND LOOKS AWESOME!!GREAT TO USE AS A SURF VEHICLE, FOR PHOTO SHOOTS, MAGAZINES, ADVERTISEMENT FOR YOUR BUSINESS, FOOD TRUCK, PARTIES, MOVIES, CAMPING, ETC!!

51,779 MILES ON ODOMETER, BUT UNKOWN IF HIGHER. I WOULD THINK ODOMETER HAS TURNED OVER.
MAKE ME AN OFFER I CAN'T REFUSE!YOU WILL BE THE TALK OF THE TOWN IN THIS. EVERYONE LOOKS AT THIS BUS, POINTS, SMILES AND WAVES AS I DRIVE BY.
THE OTHER BUS PICTURED IS A 1974 WITH AN 1800CC MOTOR. I AM ALSO SELLING THAT ONE. I PUT IT ON THERE SO YOU CAN SEE THE DROP ON THE BUS.
I WAS ASKED IF I WOULD SELL BOTH OF THE BUSSES FOR ONE DISCOUNTED / PACKAGE PRICE. I CAN DO $17,000 FIRM AND YOU'LL GET BOTH OF THEM. BUYER PAYS SHIPPING.
I JUST BOUGHT AN EMPI CARB REBUILD KIT THAT I AM THROWING IN WITH THE BUS AS WELL AS A NEW FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR AND HOSE NIPPLE INSERTS FOR INSTALLATION.
PEOPLE ALWAYS ASK WHAT IS THE LOWEST THAT I WILL TAKE. I HAVE DROPPED PRICE TO MY LOWEST AND SET IT AS A STRAIGHT "BUY IT NOW" ITEM. THANKS FOR LOOKING.
FIRST PERSON TO ACT GETS IT. GOOD LUCK.
PRICE WILL NOT BE LOWERED ANY MORE. IF IT DOESN'T SELL ON HERE I WILL SELL IT LOCALLY.
