The hottest VW bus on the market. Really, it brings smiles and joy
to everyone that sees it. Other than our movie car's, more people
have been taking pictures next to this than any other car! It has
just finished a rotisserie restoration, it is fresh. It was
purchased by a collector of ours who took it to the next level and
turned this camper into a Pro touring bus! He spent over $20,000 on
air ride, new suspension, and a hopped up motor and trans. Not only
will you be driving in style, but you'll also be getting to where
you're going twice as fast.
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, cyclops light. Many of the windows pop open
including the two front 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
really clear, some of it is new. All the gaskets around them have
been replaced. The convertible roof is new and functions easily.
Mirrors, handles, taillights and the chrome VW in front all look
new. The new 17x7 Chrome Raider Wheels with new Nitto NeoGen tires
give it the pro touring look especially when the air ride is
slammed down. It has 2 roof racks that are included, we thought as
a pro touring it looks better without them.
INTERIOR: It is brand new inside this camper bus. The entire inside
was gutted, prepped, and painted white. Up front in the driver's
compartment all the chrome bits and pieces are replated. 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. The shifter and emergency brake handle have
upholstered boots. 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 are 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: New $9,000 high performance motor! This bus was
turned into a pro touring build with an all new crate Strictly
Foreign Super Street 2332cc stroker engine. It features a new
magnesium case, balanced rods and forged pistons, Engle cam and
lifters, big valve performance heads, dual 44 HPMXcarbs, aluminum
valve covers and much more with dual carbs. It has a high flow oil
pump, oil cooler and remote filter. It's as clean as a whistle.
UNDERSIDE: The entire bottom is clean metal and was painted gloss
red. The suspension has been replaced for a unique one of a pro
touring setup. It features All new steering linkage, tie rods,
steering box up front. It's completed with AirKewld disc conversion
spindles kit front and rear. The brakes have been upgraded with
AirKewld's disc conversion kit which consists of drilled rotors and
Wilwood brake calipers on all 4 corners. The Suspension has also
been upgraded to Classic VW bus Air ride kit front and rear with
all new Ridetech air shocks, compressor, and tank. Polished and
tuned stainless Sidewinder exhaust. The transmission was also
upgraded with Strictly Foreign Super Street Freeway Flyer 4 speed
with a new stage 2 clutch. Tying everything together is the
Strictly Foreign Super Street IRS system with AirKewld housing and
4.12 gearing. It allows you to cruise 70MPH at 3270 RPM.
Someone is getting a great value. We sold this to a collector that
loves making upgrades. He spent well over $20,000 making it a pro
touring and only put 50 miles on it. You are paying the same price
he paid without all the upgrades! I just read these are considered
one of the top 10 campers. It fits in the garage, you can drive it
to work every day, 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"!
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.
