Vehicle Description
If you are like us, you can't help but instantly fall in love with
classic vehicles like this 1977 Volkswagen Bus. Sure it's not a
pristine show car, but that's what we love about this! It's in the
condition to do either 1 of 2 things: 1. Drive the wheels off it
like it is, or 2, take it to the next level. This Bus is in the
perfect condition to be lovingly enjoyed for years to come, with no
concerns about getting a scratch in the paint while cruising around
the beach.
It also qualifies for a next-level restoration because the bus is
just incredibly solid. That is pretty remarkable considering how
many of these have not stood the test of time! The body is in great
shape. The paint is a respray that shows well, the beautiful Miami
Blue hue is a great color to take out on the weekend and put it
back in its natural habitat at the beach. Keeping it from being a
#1 paint job is the passenger side sliding door where the paint got
a little thin. Otherwise, it's a good paint job that you would be
proud to showcase at your local cruise-in.
Mechanically, this bus is an absolute blast to drive! Think about
it, when was the last time you saw any VW on the road being
enjoyed? Much less a bus? The roof rack and bright blue paint turn
heads anywhere you go! The 1600CC VW engine is a classic VW choice,
and a smart one too. Parts are readily available, cheap, and these
engines are so easy to repair it's just ridiculous! Chances are,
any story you've heard about someone limping a VW home with chewing
gum and a plastic fork is probably true. This Bus has that classic
VW sound, and while it isn't particularly powerful, it is fun to
drive in its own way. Sitting over the front wheels makes depth
perception a breeze, and gives a feeling of control that is much
needed in a vehicle this length. At the corners, you'll find brand
new tires and wheels that were just put on in the last year.
The interior shows very well, you'll find parchment bucket seats up
front and a custom-cut wooden headliner gives it a great rugged
look that doesn't have the upkeep that your typical upholstered
headliner would bring. Upfront, the black dash is remarkably void
of any cracks or major flaws. Also worth pointing out that the
middle seat is not missing like so many are, but if you are in the
camping mode, 4-bolts and you can lift the center section out.
Ultimately, the interior looks great in lighter colors, and it has
been kept up over time, unlike many examples. Sit down, turn the
key, and hit the road! Included in the sale is an extra gauge
cluster.
If you are a fan of the VW buses, and don't want to pay $100k for
the 21 or 23 window earlier generations, then this is the ride for
you. This Bus has a strong "beach" vibe to it, and is easy to
picture yourself having a blast with your friends and family this
summer. Don't miss out on your chance to own this affordable
turn-key classic!
