This sweet 23 window comes to us from Edmonton, Alberta Canada.
It is a 1960 model that was completely restored about 4 years ago.
An every nut and bolt job, up on a rotisserie, the whole deal.
The Bus has been driven a bit so it is not perfect concours level...a few stone chips and things like that
but it is still impressive and has been very well kept.
Its got roughy 11,000 miles on it since it has been done.
It is a reliable runner and driver, fully capable of highway speeds...really a good runner.
The Bus is what I would call a very mild custom.
With a non-stock color combo, larger engine and lowered suspension
it still retains a very classic look to it. The full interior in matching colors
is very attractive and the stance is good, not too low, totally drivable.
Safari windows up front. Color matched blade bumpers with the proper deluxe trim.
The suspension work was just done recently as well as the safari window installation
and some minor paint work...with a receipt of over $10k!
The restoraion is clean...well detailed most everywhere.
The door panels and interior kit was all from West Coast Classics...very top quality stuff.
New window rubbers and body seals and everything.
The aluminum beltline trim has a red filler strip that matches the red piping on the seats.
Really cool.
Chrome is bright on the headlight rings and handles.
12 volt electrics and a very nice smooth body.
The body trim is brightly polished.
The one end cap here looks a bit loose but that is a simple fix.
Skylight windows look great, seals are all fresh.
Top material is brown stayfast canvas...very nice quality material.
Roof and gutters look great...nice body on this Bus.
Headliner is done in the proper cloth and looks very nice.
Correct grooved sunroof handle.
Nice level of detail seen here...bright clean hardware on the fresh air vent.
Proper aluminum base dome light looks well polished.
There's the view that everyone dreams about...all those windows and that big sunroof!
Glass is all excellent in the van and the rubber seals are too.
Here you can see the Sigla logo that shows it is original glass.
Proper coat hooks and assist straps. pop out windows have the early style "spoon" latches.
The "jail-bars" in the back look great.
Checkk out the red piping on the top edge of the interior panels.
The luggahe rail and middle seat handles are all here and in excellent shape.
Fresh air box is cleanly painted.
No sunvisors.
Ashtray on the bulkhead wall.
Handles are all excellent
Latches are clean and hardware is fresh.
Nice!
The bus features a performance engine, 1955cc with 40mm Kadron carbs.
Underneath you can see the A1 Sidewinder exhaust (these are excellent)
Engine looks clean underneath...dry and nice.
Its an aluminum case.
Straight axle trans, no reduction boxes. Trans is a Rancho built unit with 3:88 ring and pinion.
Great highway gearing.
Check out how clean everything is under here by the way...all the chassis painted body color.
Heater boxes are present and hooked up.
There is a layer of road grime under here but if you look past it you can see that it is super solid.
If you are the car show type, you could clean and detail this all up pretty nice.
Disc brakes and a dual stage master cylinder.
Slightly narrowed front beam for good wheel clearance.
Engine room looks clean and tidy.
The engine has a CB Performance crank, CB 044 heads, H Beam rods, everything was balanced and dialed in.
Great runner!
Rare trip speedo shows 11,507 miles which is mileage since completion.
Good panel fit...interior looks great.
Nice clean hardware in the door jams.
Dash is excellent with no modifications.
I do really like that red piping against the brown upholstery.
New seat belts installed as well.
The owner did not photograph the floors but they are solid with no rust issues and are clean as well.
Here is a paint flaw up on the roof from the sunroof hitting...
You can see a slight paint rub on the edge of the door here... it is not perfect but is probably an 8 out of 10
for paint quality and condition.
Here along the edge of the sunroof rail you can see another minor paint wrinkle
Some stone chips on the leading edge of the rear bumper.
Not bad...but there.
Super smooth and straight down the sides though...WOW!
Front bumper has some stone chips and minor road wear.
Ive gotta say this is confidence inspiring to me though...this Bus is one that gets driven.
So many these days are ultra show restored and very see the highway...often cars like that have all sorts of small issues
that pop up when you start to put some miles on them. This one has had the bugs worked out...it is a true driver!
Great looker.
The color combination is attractive and unique...it stands out fron the crowd without losing the
classic style that some wild bright paint color would do.
Considering the level of restoration work done to this and the overall quality,
this really looks like a nice Bus for the money.
With these things being advertised for well over $100k quite frequently these days,
it is refreshing to see one that is not at a record breaker price point.
Nice Bus.
Being located in Canada the import the the US is not difficult or expensive to do
Of course world wide shipping can be arranged as well.
