Vehicle Description
This 1969 Volkswagen Kombi custom microbus is the recipient of a
complete rotisserie restoration, well-documented by photos of all
stages. The engine was replaced and upgraded with a rebuilt 1500cc
52hp 4-cylinder engine with new parts and backed by a new 4-speed
manual transmission. Very few miles were added after restoration;
only enough to move the car while shipping and to be photographed
for auction. Parts that could not be reused were removed and
replaced by new ones. The services included replacing front
suspension with new parts, replacing old drum brakes by new front
disc brakes of a newer model and rear brakes, all-new electrical
(including complete wiring harness, headlights and taillights, and
a new electronic ignition), new exhaust system, new fuel tank, fuel
pump and fuel line, new clutch system, new parking brake, clutch
and accelerator cables, and steering box rebuilt with new parts.
The exterior features new rearview mirrors as well as new moldings
and emblems. Door locks were revised and replaced where necessary.
New weatherstrip seals and all-new glass was installed, the
instrument panel was revised and parts were replaced where
necessary, and windshield wiper was revised. All fluids have been
replaced. It is finished in a red and brown color combination as a
tribute to the Volkswagen bus made in Germany in 1958. The complete
paint job included the undercarriage. The interior has completely
new upholstery and new carpet.
