Without looking and going off recollection, I thought 425 was the deluxe model code...?
EDIT---Just looked...nevermind.

Guys I can't thank you enough.
My walk thru bases have red vinyl on the tops unless someone painted them?? The white headliner also has like a tan / gold color spray on a few places like around the popo outs? There was some arguement over the middle seat. Should a full length fold down 1967 middle seat have the small brace across the end fro mthe back leg to the floor? this would be hidden of course from the side panel.
Do they still make this color interior? |

looks like wolfsburg west has mesh platinum interiors if you want repro.

good originals are HTF
framewise, your middle seat would look like this
with this upholstery

that thing says tim's bus would have a short middle seat. what are the positions of the plates on the floors?
i'm gonna guess that the destination code is UW not "VW" UW being washington DC and tim is on the east coast.

67 has the plates for 2/3 and full length. The floor mats should be brown aka polecat.

not necessarily, they could be ordered with full or 2/3 as designated by the model code.
typically, pre 61' walk through buses had full length seats and most 64' and up walk through buses had 2/3 seats. |

The answer lies in the mcode......
251 walkthru, with short seat
241 bench, full seat
It's that easy.....really.

I never knew VW made an 8-passenger bus. I thought it was either a 7 or a 9. Either you walk-thru or you don't.

| Ok guys, What is the decision on the middle seats? 2/3 or full size? my floor has the slots for both. Please look back to my M code info on the top of this forum, does this tell you for sure? Tim |

Yes, 7, 8, or 9 passenger. It all depends on the middle seat and the front seats which gives you the correct configuration.
Me, i have an 8-passenger deluxe; walk-thru with full middle seat. |
