Which Bus is that supposed to be?

It looks like it might be a '64.
Can you post the numbers off the M-code plate? It's the plate right behind the passenger front seat.

It's the slightly less-abused twin of Brian's Bullet Bus! I do dig the Sapphire I in the dash, though.

Thu Jul 10, 2008 6:04 am

I like it. I think the bullet holes make the whole thing.

The Sapphire is the radio.

It has the emergency flasher thing to the left of the pod. Does that make it a '65?

Thu Jul 10, 2008 8:12 am

My guess is early '64 because of the pull-style front door handles, big rear hatch, and red emergency pull knob on dashboard.

x2 on the Sapphire radio. Original Bus-issued trim plate too.

I can't tell if it's a Kombi or a Standard. It looks like there is some green coming through on the dashboard as well as the bottom 1/2 (see nose) so maybe it's a Turquoise '64 Kombi?

Thu Jul 10, 2008 9:07 am

ill post the numbers off the M-code plate, in a little wile my parents arnt home...so when they get back ill get the numbers and we can find out.. :)

Agreed. Early '64 Turkis Kombi.

Thu Jul 10, 2008 9:33 am

turkis around window opening and front door frames. turkis kombi sounds right.
that thing might actually have some nice og paint under there. do yourself a favor and don't start stripping it to the metal yet. since your out of school for the summer, get some paint stripping chemicals and see how easy that respray comes off the og paint. turkis kombis are pretty cool.

You should sell the bus, and go to night school.

Thu Jul 10, 2008 10:56 am

Due to the condition, I wouldn't say the value is much different.

Some '64 parts are worth more than '67 parts.
But '67s have a lot of 1-year only parts that are worth more.

I think you may be about even.

Thu Jul 10, 2008 11:12 am

Some of the .44 holes and the buckshot look brand new. Are you mechanical? What wrenches do you know how to work?
