Just finished a rotisserie restoration to like new condition.
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 running
boards.
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 accessory aluminum running boards on each side. 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. Up front the seats have new
cushions and are reupholstered. The door panels are done to match.
Overhead has the fresh air ventilation system and 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 3 point 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. 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. All the components were restored. The
alternator, carburetor, distributor look new. I can see a painted
gas tank. The engine bay is all solid metal and is painted glossy.
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 glossy. The suspension has been rebuilt, new
shocks. The brake system has all been redone. New exhaust
system.
What a fun vehicle. Running around you will be amazed at the
reaction you will get from people. There's so much you can do with
it. It's actually a usable camper, it fits in the garage, it can
haul several people, it's ready for car shows. The only thing it
won't do is win any races!
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.
