1973 Volkswagen Passenger Bus Wild Westerner on 2040-cars

    So this is one of the rarest Bay Windows Buses you will ever find!!! Called the Wild Westerner, it was only produced in 1973.It was a special edition Dealer paint package that was an upcharge of $75.00. I've heard that there were around 150 of them produced, and out of that only 50 of them still exist including mine. I also heard that this one is even rarer. Because it's was the only one made with a front bench seat as opposed to the two front bucket seats. There is a whole forum on The Samba and even a registry just for Wild Westerner Buses. This particular bus is absolutely rust free. The body was in exceptionally good shape when I got it with only small dents here and there. To Top it off, this bus only has 74,143 actual miles on it. I found a work order in the glove box from 1997 showing that it had 73,854 miles. That was before it was parked after the plates expired in 1998.I believe that the Engine is original, it starts and runs like dream. If your looking for a collectors item that will only go up in value, or you just want to have fun, and be the coolest, brightest kid on the block this bus is for you!!!  
    It is just too cool for school...Talk about a rolling art piece....My Dad once said that most people create art that you have to go to the
gallery to see. He said that I create art that literally comes to the people in the form of these wonderfully restored VW's. I am very proud of how well
this bus turned out. People just seem to be drawn to it with its 70's style and beauty. The original color combination of Ravenna Green and Apple Green with the great Blue stripe is just stunning. With its fresh new paint and interior, it's as if you went back to the future as you drive off the show room floor in 1973.
  Here I am raving about the looks of this bus and forgot to mention just how well it runs and drives. I believe that it has the original motor with dual Solex dual carbs and all the factory smog equipment on it.
. The motor sounds and drives great, the trans shifts smooth, the brakes stop
straight, and the front end doesn't clunk or wander. The interior has all been professionally re-done so you feel like your sitting in a new bus as you roll on down the road.
It  holds seven people comfortably with seat belts for everyone. Your friends and family will not want
to stop cruising once you get started. I could go on and on but I should go ahead and cut to the chase:
