Vehicle Description
1967 VW Type 2 (German) fully restored 7 Window Bus Original owner
is one of my dearest friends and I look it off his hands about 10
years ago when he was getting older. I have worked for 7 years on
restoration and I have hundreds of pictures. It is Colorado born
and has always been in Telluride until I took it to Dallas to do
the resto. The project was completed in 2014. Almost all of the
mechanical and electrical was replaced or rebuilt. The motor was
completely rebuilt and slightly bored to 1630cc. All the brake
lines and components were replaced. Entire steering box and all
components replaced. The suspension is all new with new shocks and
springs, original height. The EMPI wheel are custom and have paint
that matches the 2 tone of the bus (I also have the original
wheels) and the tires brand new. Engine has maybe 500 miles on it
and was taken apart and painted or shined piece by piece, new Carb
and all lines (I have dozens of pics). It lives in my car barn with
a few other friends in Dallas and I drive it a few times a month
and smile every time. It was built to be driven which is why I bed
linered the entire underside before I put it back together (This is
not a cover up, I have tons of pics). It is built to drive and runs
absolutely perfect. You can cruise down the highway at 65 no
problem. One of the few modifications is the vinyl interior,
perfect match to the bus paint and looks really sharp (I have extra
for back seats of that is the direction you take it). I own a few
different cars and no one looks and follows me to take pictures
more than this one, from the adults to the children you can't help
but stare at this bus and smile. There is absolutely no rust on
this bus. During the restoration process, after the bus was taken
down to the metal, sound dampeners (dynamat) installed behind all
panels so it is kinda quiet. I have receipts and actually have a
book done on the bus.
