Truly stunning. I have always had a thing for 11 window sunroof buses. I've owned three over the years....

You don't see many of these standards with sunroofs. So far, mine is the only unrestored one I have ever seen.
I was checking out this thread and it looks like the person posting the pictures on his build sheet is saying it came from the factory with disc breaks,
?
Am I missing something ? I have never seen or heard of factory disc breaks on a split bus.
Has anyone else and if so, I would love to see some literature on them.
Thanks

Thanks Evertte,
I was pretty confident that the build sheet was incorrect or fake but I thought I would see if there was something I was missing.
If I was the owner , I would want to get to the bottom of that build sheet immediately and find out if it came from VW or from a prior owners Adobe computer app.

| That blue bus above looks like one that used to roll around West Oakland/Emeryville. An older guy who was a carpenter owned it. I tried to buy it from him several times.... |

Martin was his name . I tried to buy it for years also. He would do repairs on his rentals using the Bus. No roof rack , just placed the ladders thru the open roof.
