1962 VW "Double Cab" Transporter

The Bus is very well kept, and it's pampered life has left it as nice as one could ever hope for.

Excellent fit and finish. "Sierra Court Cottages" graphics are done in vinyl,
so they can be removed if desired, but do give the truck a little character.

Very very straight body

Good looking vehicle from all angles.
This Bus has done well in the local So Cal show scene as well.

Just gorgeous.

Interior is spotless as well...all stock and proper.

Bench front seat with the proper "hump" in the center of the back.
Modern seat belts for safety.

Door panels are excellent

very sanitary and simple

Steering wheel is nicely restored.

Odometer reads 74,000 miles and change... actual original mileage is unknown.

Bendix radio

Nice accessory drink holder

Floormat and controls are clean (except for my dusty footprints)

Floors are very solid and clean.

Ambulance fan is a rare and desireable accessory.
Roof panels are clean and well fit.

Very nice

Door jams and hardware are all nice and clean.
This was a quality restoration.

"M" code tag behind the seat, built December 29th 1961, and it was painted the original Grey color code.

Very nice

Back seat area is also wonderfully clean

Bulkhead is clean and straight.

Panels look great and the latches and hardware are nicely detailed.

Floors in the back are excellent as well.

Rear dome light does not seem to work...not sure what is up with that...but it is there and looks great.

What a dream machine!

A wonderful example of the most desireable "working class" VW Busses.

Engine is a rebuilt stock 40 horse that truly runs superb. Still 6 volt electrics, all totally stock and very clean.

The only diversion from stock specs on the motor is the mechanical advance distributor
and the coil should be black instead of blue...the rest looks spot-on to me.

Engine compartment is clean even in the corners.

Battery area looks excellent.

Very good.

Very light layer of road grime underneath, but remember, this is a driver...not a trailer queen!

That being said, the underide was nicely painted and looks very clean and is super solid.

Nice under the front as well

Dreamy

Quite clean underneath

Smooth bodywork

Nicely detailed stock 15" Bus wheels and excellent tires on all four corners.

Mudflaps too are a nice touch.

Antenna is center mounted which is a little unique.

headlights and lenses are all excellent.

Emblem looks superb

California year of manufacture plates add a great look.

Mirrors are excellent

Graphics are fun, and as mentioned before are easily removeable.

All window rubbers, body seals and felts were replaced and are in excellent shape.

Back of the cab is perfect.

Third brakelight is a great little accessory...it's not hooked up at the moment
but I love the look.

Tail gates are in excellent shape...extremely straight, as is the bed.
I here an ever so slight shake of "rust dust" when you flip them down
and I saw a couple of very small bubbles along the bottom,
But if you know these trucks at all, you know that is the least of your worries.
Finding side gates as nice as these is nearly impossible thses days.

the bed is beautifully finished, paintwork is very good and the finished wood strips look amazing.

here's a detail of the woodwork

Hinges and latches and hardware are all extremely clean.

here's a good shot of the whole bed...it is very nice indeed.

OK..here's a flaw...a couple of small blisters along the bottom edge of the gates.
This is truly the "worst of it" the rest of the Bus is really clean.
Amazing actually...they do not come around this nice often.

In closing this is siply a great truck.
Totally stock, not lowered or "funked up" with wild paint or funny changes.
Its pure and proper, just as it was designed to be. Its a very very straight and sold example
and the quality of the restoration is very nice. And add to that that it runs and drives as good as it looks.
This is the one...dont miss it!
