That's a Mexican bus, the front bumper and dash give away that it's not Brazilian market. The high roofline dates it to post 1991.
The VIN number starting 223 is from May 1973 and definitely doesn't belong to that bus!! I'd suspect it's come into the country when less than 25 years old and then taken on the the identity of an older German 1973 bus. It's not legit for sure!! |

I've spent a lot of time lately looking on Copart / Salvage Resellers lately. This is the first bus I've seen. The Buy it Now price is $13,500. It may sell for less, or they may keep relisting it even if you've bid on it - it's not always a straight up auction.

Not sure that this is 100% the right place, but didn't feel it was worth its own thread.
What's a fair price on a couple of '69 motors? I know the devil can be in the details, but just a rough ballpark is fine.
1) Not recently rebuilt but running well.
2) Needs rebuilding. _________________ '68 Sportsmobile w/'71 motor |

Is the ladder part of the conversion or is it an aftermarket product modified to fit? Looking for one for my 76.

Yeah that thing is really nice. Can’t say I’ve ever seen any Landmarks for sale in that shape. |
There's been a couple. Not many for sure. Always loved that Space 1999 block headliner look.

Just picked up my first bus project! Manged to snag it for $800!
It's a 1978 VW Transporter champagne edition
its auto transmission
2000cc fuel injected
also has the big overhead ac dealer unit (although the compressor has been deleted on)
Apparently it's sat since 1999 in Birmingham AL, the walnuts in the engine is good evidence of that It's my first older air cooled VW, hoping to have it back on the road soon! |
