This is a 1969 Bay Window Volkswagen (Type II) Transporter Panel Delivery (whew…I think I covered all of the possible names).  This VW panel delivery is not only an early bay window bus, but also a rare find in the US. Due to the lovely Chicken Tax (google it) commercial Volkswagen’s commercial vehicles are harder to find here, because they were (and still are) very expensive to import. This is registered and insured in Kansas and tags will expire in June. It has been in Volkswagen original colors Neptune Blue and Ivory White. It is customized with an Eberspacher  gasoline underbody heater. The heater is in great shape but needs a fan and a glow plug replaced to be functional.  Poking around I found both of these items for less than $200 combined, so if you live somewhere cold this is a must have! This van features the walk-thru front seats for easy access to the cargo hold and a standard sliding side door on the passenger side. The cargo area on the bus is great if you’re a delivery guy. The original advertisement even boasted about how this model was “All business.” If you originally purchased this bus for leisurely drives and the option for some overnight camping, you were out of luck.  You get the best of both worlds when you purchase this restomodded VW panel delivery. I’ve modified the interior with passenger seating by installing a ’74 double pullout rear z bed, and also installing a ’72 dash.  There is an Allison electronic ignition installed so you won’t be required to adjust the points. The engine has been replaced with a 1600CC oil cooled motor, with a 4 speed transmission, has a Weber two-staged carb, and currently less than 10,000 miles on this engine. Rear engine seals have been replaced along with the clutch.  Lucky for you, this has been garage kept and maintained and boy does she shine. This is a great bus as an everyday driver and starts right up with a charged battery. I had planned on finishing up fully restoring it, but life happens.  This bus is perfect for anyone wanting a bus to personalize, without having to put all of the work into restoring it.  This bus is essentially a blank canvas ready to be made into whatever dream you have for it.  The windowless panels definitely allow for some awesome paint jobs, and this bus is ready to be customized as an off-roader too, as the rear-wheel wells were customized at some point and will allow for larger/taller/wider wheels. This car made sense as a single dude…but now my rapidly expanding family requires a more modern vehicle.   It may need some adjustments as it has only been driven once or twice a month lately, but the motor runs and the brakes stop.  The rims are VW stamped standard wide 5 rims. The half-moon domes are missing, but the clips are present to make attaching them a breeze. The rear tires are Tiger Paws and the front tires are Pirelli Street tire.  Both are in good condition with lightly worn tread. Original drum brakes are working fine. All lights on the vehicle work and ventilation system is in working condition as well.  There is an aftermarket roof vent that was installed.  This is brand-new and doesn’t leak.  The body of this panel delivery is in excellent shape after all metal being restored. All necessary rust has been restored and only normal surface rust on the undercarriage is present. The front bumper was not reattached as it was too badly damaged and the wingsteps were missing.  It can still be attached; you would just need to put a little more work into it. I have additional parts that I will be including with the sale as well: A Brazilian made 009 distributor complete with extra cap, points, and condenser, a rear interior spare tire cover (black plastic w/ VW logo), front VW logo is included but not attached, rear “Volkswagen” type logo included but not attached, original am/fm antenna (working), a rolling VW engine stand, extra lens covers and rings for back lights, and rings only for front lights, and a grey canvas “Rocky Mountain Motorworks Cover”. The interior is almost complete, and would just need some finishing touches to look pristine.  The window seals, felts, and scrapers have all been replaced.  The rear-hatch and side-door seals are in good shape. Seats up front are from a ’72 bus.  They are high back bucket seats.  They need new upholstery and padding, but all mechanical parts are in working condition.  They currently have sheepskin covers which work great, look cool and are included with this purchase.  The double rear z bed offers different seating arrangements so it can be customized to meet different needs.  Concerts or campouts, this bus will get you there and back. This is a great driver and with a bit more work will be choice.  Whether this bus is for you or your child as they venture out into the world, memories will be made that will last a lifetime.
