1958 23 Window Deluxe Microbus For Sale
This Utah based 23 window is exceptional in every way.
What you see here is the results of a 5 year restoration using the best of the best when it comes to
parts, materials and labor and it is restored to a true concours level inside and out
with less than 100 test miles on it since its completion.
The Bus has its papers from the factory that prove its legitimacy as a genuine German built
23 window Deluxe, not a clone...it is the real deal.
It also shows the original paint colors and options as well as its initial build and ship dates as well
as its destination port of New Orleans Louisiana.
The engine is the correct 36 horse unit restored and rebuilt by Joe Ruiz, a California builder that
is know for his attention to detail and authenticity.
The underside of the Bus from front to back is just as spectacular as the top side.
Impressive level of detail from bumper to bumper...this is top level work.
Look at the reflection underneath...WOW!
Safari windows have been installed and look fantastic.
The Chestnut Brown and Sealing Wax Red paint scheme is original and correct and is stunning.
Correct 15" Bus only wheels with the proper trim rings and new bias ply tires cast from period correct molds.
Detail painted centers on the hubcaps add a nice splash of color.
The interior is spectacular as well, done by the masters at West Coast Classics.
All the correct trim and details are present here, the paint and bodywork is gorgeous.
If you are looking for the best of the best...this one is well worth considering.
August 57 production, right on the edge of the 57-58 model year changes.
I see the earlier style bubble taillights and third brake light deck lid here as an example.
Everything is trimmed to better than new condition.
Full sunroof works beautifully and features a canvas cover.
Nice to see the proper seat trims in place inside as well as the armrests and coat hooks, etc.
Absolutely gorgeous interior!!
Wow!
So perfect
Look at that reflection down the side... like a mirror!
All receipts and photographs of the restoration process are included with the sale.
There was minimal rust on the base car, it spent its life away from the harsh elements
and it was stripped down to an absolute shell and rebuild with every nut and bolt carefully attended to.
Two owners since new.
Such a beauty
A "no compromises" open checkbook build...the best of the best.
Only 3514 examples of this model made in this year according to the seller.
The photos sure show it to be impressive and from what I have gathered from speaking with the owner and knowing
many of the hands that have been involved with its restoration, I feel pretty confident here saying that this
is about as nice of an example as you will ever hope to find.
