I might have a new opportunity that will help my family move ahead so the bus I thought I would never sell might have to go. If this opportunity doesn't pan out the bus will come off the market so please do not be upset or think I'm posting this add to waste your time.

This bus is located in a suburb of Vancouver, Canada. My goal was to preserve this bus as an all original Kombi so this is why I chose to find OG paint bumper pieces etc. Even the front window have the proper dates stamped on them which proves to me they are original to this bus as with all of the windows.

Not to often do you find a 95%+ all original velvet green Kombi in this condition let alone any bus that hasn't been restored. The middle/rear seat are original and never used since the old owner stored them from new. There was no bodywork done on this bus after stripping off the old re-spray that was done in 1982. The only minor work was dent repair on the passenger dogleg which is about and inch long, really nothing at all. The original owner decided to respray the van because the original paint was so worn. There are dents and dings that a dent repair technician could remove to make it better but I never went that far. The only major rust is a 4'' hole in the battery tray, other than that the bus is super dry and I have '67 only restoration metal from Gerson(green stuff) to replace it.

I have all of the original parts, they we're removed to be cleaned and to make it easier to strip the respray. I was going to clean up the bumpers and add the over riders etc. before re-installing. All of the windows are now installed with new rubber.

The bus runs and shifts but I would recommend giving it a tune-up before heading on a road trip.


Price adjustment to $26000US.

I have had plenty of emails regarding offers on my bus and one main theme is the cost of shipping to certain parts of Europe. Therefore I have dropped the price by $2000 to help offset some of the shipping costs. I feel this is fair.

Offers also accepted;)

I purchased the bus from the original owner who used it as a delivery vehicle for his electronics business in Reno, Nevada. It lived in the little building on the left in the picture.












Here is the building now after a restoration- http://www.haberae.com/walker_electronics


The van was repainted in 1982 a turquoise color which is faded in the pic and much of the paint has disappeared since the respray.

This is how it looked when I picked it up.











When I got it home I used oven cleaner to remove the non-original paint. Thankfully it was a crappy paint job so removal only took 45-50hrs;)













The floors are like new, no rust. This was before i stripped the paint off of the dogleg.






Very, very dry bus
