1967 Hardtop Deluxe Microbus For Sale



This is a nice clean Bus that has come though our hands before...
Back about 4 or 5 years ago one of my customers bought this Bus off the internet out of either Texas
or Idaho or something like that and the sellers delivered it to our shop the week before the VW Classic that year.
It was a totally original Bus at the the time, very dirty but amazingly intact and complete.
The original paint was still on the Bus and after some polishing the top side cleaned up like magic.
The red paint was too far gone, so that was re-sprayed but everything from the beltline up is original paint.


The interior was poor so that was all professionally re-done, the paint inside was excellent
so that was retained, and some of the rubbers were replaced as they had deteriorated over time.


Mechanically the trans was shot so that was rebuilt and the engine was revived and peoperly serviced and still runs strong.
Brakes were redone at the time as well and new tires installed.
It was what I like to call a "sypathetic" restoration...meaning as much of the original
stuff was retained as possible, and only the things that truly needed restoring got the treatment.


Once completed the Bus was sold through our website to it's current owner who resides up
in the beautiful Morro Bay area here in California where he has lovingly maintained it and used it for
trips up and down the coast. He is currently not using it as much as he first intended and would rather see it in the hands
of someone who will give it the use and love that he isnt giving it...so it is here up for sale.


The Bus is in very nice shape and underneath all the pretty stuff it is a very good solid example.


The paint quality is nice and the bodywork smooth.


Its a good looking van and the color (Titian Red) is a beautiful one.


Here's a good reflection shot down the side.


Bumpers are clean and the nose is solid.


Remember the white paint here is the original finish!


Roof lip is solid


Looking good...this is a spot that can sometimes be rusty...but not on this Bus


Chrome on the front emblem is excellent.

Very pretty


Original bumper trims are present on the front bumper but not the rear

Since it is still original paint on the topside there are a few spots that show a little wear like the hinges.

And also for the passenger side front floor...visable as nice and clean underneath.


Trans was rebuilt and remains clean and dry.
Engine is pretty clean underneath as well...new muffler and heater boxes were installed recently.


Engine is quite stock and proper with the only diversion being the mechanical advance distributor.
The original governor still remains under the carb...a part that is most often discarded.


Pretty clean in the engine room


Not "concours" but still quite clean.


Its a 67 so it has the reverse lights above the taillights...


Overall a very good Bus with a fairly well known history and a fair bit of originality
that is very rare to find these days. Great color combination, desireable 1967 model with the walk thru front seats
turn-key and ready to enjoy...this is a very good buy at the asking price!
