"Extensively restored" *











*The views expressed in this ad are those of the seller and do not reflect the views of people that actually know anything at all about VW bus restoration.

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.

At what point does the place say "Eff it, we're close enough."?


When the customers wife sees the bank account and the checks stop coming, "slap it together as is and get it out of the shop now!"

"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:
Quote:
Mileage is read from Tachometer


Also this is incorrectly in the "Classifieds Index -> Vehicles -> Other VW/Porsche Vehicles" classified section. Maybe deservedly so...Yes reported...

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.

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.

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.

First ad I've seen with a potential typo of 1000%.
