G day a mate of mine has a red/brown 23 window van here in oz his trying to find any info about. He bought it from a guy in sydney that imported it from Texas we think. So hoping to maybe find a build thread perhaps. Ill post a picture of it later on. Its a brown/ red 23 replica had a few mods narrowed and lowered on stock black rims bigger motor twin carbs straight axle i think.Some one might remember it?
Cheers for any help Ev |

Thanx mate its a bit of a long shot.
We assume it was a 15window originally but thats only an assumption is there a way to confirm how many windows it was from factory. Iv tried to work it out from the chassis vin but can't Cheers Ev |

Nice ride!!
If you don't have the plate with the M-code, then you might consider ordering the birth certificate at the AutoMuseum Volkswagen in Wolfsburg (Germany); this should mention the M specifications, if the vehicle came out of the factory with any. But that's not a super-cheap option though. _________________ drive it like you just robbed the bank
you don't have to be crazy to be into VW's, but it sure helps!!

I search the old ads but don't see anything from Texas that looks like that Bus. |
that's the user Antonio from Houston who restored it and sold it,
You might trace the original add from there.
I remember that on the add it had chromed sprint stars. |
ok here is the thread speaking about that same bus:
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=355901 |
I would need to know the location or some other information on the older ad.
I searched on the terms:
23 window sprint
and did not find anything else
Or ask Antonio... _________________ How to Post Photos
