Not only does that statement not bode well for the bus, looking at the bus, it doesn't reflect all that well for the technical college either. People, don't send you kids there. Thems puts out some sloppy rides. _________________ .

I particularly like the greasy broomstick rear seat luggage bar. Classy. |

"Optically and technically in good condition"........... I guess the up side they did not cut it into some custom Frankenstein |

Maybe this is a not-native English thing when writing this advert...but I dont think this bodes well either:

Ha, I was just about to post this Bus for that wiring alone.
This is definitely a rip all that crap out and restart with a new harness situation
I especially like how I went to their site to look at the full set of 80 photos and didn't really see much more than I see in the 9 pics here. No real detail, no pics of underneath at all. _________________ How to Post Photos

Special deal: https://www.erclassics.com/volkswagen-t1-1967-v4171/ says only €49,950. Are we playing "guess the currency" here? That does translate/convert to the listed asking price if the asking price is in dollars in the advertisement. _________________ Coming to you from God’s Own Time Zone: Central Time…up near the Illinois/Minnesota border. ** Note I am currently (mostly) INACTIVE in the bus community due to temporary life changes.

Forward positioned shifter started Sept. 1959 VIN # 501707.
Ribbed cab door inner handle used up to 16 Mar. 1960 VIN # 584674.
Apparently it's a 1960 model year bus.

while I would not bet it has original handles, its a one seat position bus. Three position started Oct 1960. Also high hinge. I agree on 1960ish.
Fuse box I think is pre VIN 614 xxx
I like the cobblestone wall and the gate.

all buses sent to portugal were panels from the factory. All windows were installed locally. Not sure how long they did that, but that would explain an unorthodox number or placement of windows. _________________ regards
