Equipment
Hub caps, roof rack, later 1600 twin port engine, 3-row seating
Condition
Freshly restored by Deutschland Metal and Body, the underside shows as an undriven body-off restoration, and the paint and body show no wear. The interior was restored by Lenny Copp of West Coast Classic restoration and shows no wear except for large scratches on the rear passenger grab handle. Some body seams around the rear trunk and hinges have evidence of rust holes and corrosion. The engine and mechanicals have all been rebuilt. Quite well restored and ready to show or drive.
Market commentary
It's more windows, more money in the world of early VW Buses and this one has only eleven. So although it has been mostly very well restored, its base configuration doesn't make it worth more than the reported high bid, which already seems crazy high if you remember the days when these could be had for a few hundred bucks.
