It is with heavy hearts that we put our VW camper bus up for sale. We looked long and hard for this unmolested automatic rust-free California bus, purchased from the original owner, to be enjoyed for the rest of our retirement. We have put a lot of love and money into bringing it back to its former glory, but, as someone said, life is what happens while you’re busy making plans. Unforeseen circumstances make it necessary for us to now part with the “Orange Crate.”

What we have done so far:

New Tires, Brakes, Brake Booster and Brake Fluid Reservoir
New Carburator Linkage & Tune Up
Solid Bamboo Flooring
Rebuilt Sink Pump, Cleaned H2o Water Tank
Refreshed Ice Box
New PopTop Canvas, Seal & Hardware
New Seat & Bed Cushion Foam
Original Child’s Front Cot in Good Condition
(PopTop Hammock missing. We talked to our local shoe repair shop who said they could make a canvas one for about $200.)
Genuine Baltic Birch Front Door Panels
Colorful Seat Covers & Spare Tire Cover (yes, we’re old hippies)
New Wiper Arms & Blades
Fire Extinguisher
Plus many more small additions and fixes
Bus Repainted by Previous Owner and still looks good with some minor scratches and a little bubbling
Undercarriage rust-free
Drives strong and straight
