Yep, that's our '65.

Thanks for posting up. I could have sworn that yours was a 64, but maybe I just confused that with the fact that it was a Kombi, and the only Kombi Riviera I had seen.

What is the production date on that beautiful bus? What is the import code?

Isn't 28 O October 28th? So that'd be a '65 model. Right?

Does not look like a Riviera interior to me. Not sure who made it, but I doubt it is Riviera.

Earliest Riv I have seen was a 64. I' not sure if you could bring an older VW to them in the mid-60's and have them fit a camper kit.

There should be an M-Plate on the frontside of the passenger bulkhead...it will look much like this and have m-code 199 designating it as a Swivel Seat.

Some good Swivel Seat reading here:

http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2...mp;start=0

As you will see after reading the SS thread that rare as they are, the SS Kombis are rarer yet that the panels...post up the m-plate!

Once you are certain it's not a Riviera, I'd suggest moving it out this thread and into the Swivel Seat thread I listed above.

Great bus BTW!

Looks like those windows are the style that were cut into panels. Not positive, but probable. We need a few exterior shots to be sure.
