Just finished a rotisserie restoration to like new condition. This
one has factory cold air conditioning too! People love this VW bus.
Really, it brings smiles and joy to everyone that sees it. Other
than our movie cars, more people have been taking pictures next to
this than any other car! It is decked out with all the goodies.- 23
windows, convertible roof, camper interior, fold out windshields,
cyclops light and even a pop up flat screen TV. This is a
Brazillian made VW, it is the same as the original German made 23
window bus. I've seen these sell up to 3 times higher than what we
are asking. This will get just as many smiles!
EXTERIOR: This Samba is decked out. It has the famous 23 windows,
two luggage racks with a ladder, a sliding convertible roof with a
wind deflector and cyclops light. Many of the windows pop open
including the two front safari windshields. It has been completely
restored. The body has big flat panels and they are straight, no
signs of rust or damage. The paint is smooth and glossy. The two
tones are broken up with a polished aluminum band which also
enhances the V design in front. The bumpers are painted smooth and
glossy. It has a nice aluminum running board. All the glass is real
clear, some of it is new. All the gaskets around them has been
replaced. The convertible roof is new and functions easily.
Mirrors, handles, taillights and the chrome VW in front all look
new. It rides on new radial whitewall tires, the rims are painted
and have all new trim.
INTERIOR: It is brand new inside this camper bus. The entire inside
was gutted, prepped and painted white. Up front the seats have new
cushions and are upholstered in a real nice vintage plaid material.
The door panels are done to match. It has an auxiliary fan, cup
holder basket and a tray below the dash. Overhead has the fresh air
ventilation system with an LED interior light. New visors. The
passenger seat flips up and there's a storage compartment
underneath. Down on the floor it has new carpet with bound edges.
It has retractable seat belts. In the camper section it has high
quality, professionally built custom laminate cabinets. The panels
are finished on all sides and have premium hinges. There is lots of
storage. There's 2 tables that fold out and a new flat screen TV
pops out. The kitchen area has a sink, electric stove top and a
refrigerator. The bench seat folds flat and makes a bed. It has new
laminate flooring. Overhead is a new white perforated headliner
that stretches front to back. It also has nice looking curtains at
each window. The upholstery and cushions are all new. I am
impressed with the quality, this was done by a professional cabinet
maker.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The 4 cylinder motor was rebuilt. It fires
right up and runs great. It has a factory air conditioning system
that was serviced and blows cold. All the components were restored
too. The alternator, carburetor, distributor look new. I can see a
painted gas tank. The engine bay is all solid metal and is painted
gloss blue. There is a new battery and cables.
UNDERSIDE: This was flipped upside down on a rotisserie and the
bottom was restored as good as the top. The entire bottom is clean
metal and was painted gloss blue. The suspension has been rebuilt,
new shocks. The brake system has all been redone. New exhaust
system.
I just read these are considered one of the top 10 campers. It fits
in the garage, you can drive it to work everyday and go camping on
the weekends. I think cruising around and taking it to the cruise
nights is where you can get the most satisfaction. People are drawn
to it and it makes everyone that sees it happy. Just think how
happy it will make you to share this "Happy Camper"!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
**These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a

showroom. If you buy a car, your admission will be refunded and you
