 Posted: Fri Aug 26, 2005 8:30 am Post subject: bus score 2 years in the making |
 |
|
I found these buses a couple years ago on the way to visit inlaws, originally I wasn't even allowed to get close enough to get a good look, 2 years later I brought them home!
62 std. with a factory installed westfalia interior, 61 w/t 15, 66 13, and a 67 riviera.
profesionally modified wheel wells, og sprints, fugly pin stripping, and mud flaps at all 4 wheels give the 62 a hot wheels look
lot's of travel decals
nose needs some buffing.
62 356 engine
westfalia interior. i'm looking for the cabinet that mounts to the forward cargo door, a canvas(yellow stripes) for a small side tent, and a bakelight knob for the poles, if anyone has some they want to part with.
couple more photos in the gallery. |

Nicely done. Is that a 356 or Okrasa motor in there?

Nice dude, I figured when I saw you on the freeway pulling a bus towards home that you had been busy. Nice scores. Now give me a call and let me come check them out.

Thanks for finally posting this Ronnie, I had been biting my tongue for too long!
Everett: yes, that is a Mosaik kit, factory installed, and in pretty good shape! We did the M code research.
Ronnie forgot to mention the really cool vintage travel stickers on some of the side windows.

| Nice save! That '61 is really funky. Back in the day, that thing was probably the coolest bus in town! |

Wow, nice finds.
Is the Westy kit the removable one? |
I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to westies, but it looks like it is to me. It is however factory installed.
M-Codes
374 6 pop outs
H22 camping interior with small side tent
025 seat belts
168 88a/h battery
195 adjustable back rest for bench seat
543 no seats in load area.
it's funny to me that it was ordered as a camper with no seats, but it still has the regualr arm rests, including one in the closet. |

holy shit. that is awesome. it is a model 221 right? that is the only M-coded SO-22 Mosaik interior that I have ever seen. for all you non westy pervs out there, this is the same kit as an SO-33, except it has no wood interior panels or roof lining, and the kit is easily removeable. (less then 15 minutes)

yes, it is a 221. i was pretty excited when i figured out what that m-code was, i had assumed from first seeing it that the interior was installed after the fact. |

Three more hours, and you would have had to seek emergency assistance! |
