Can anyone help identifying this Bus - Is it a 67’ ?
The model number on the I’d plate shows “TYP 25” isn’t that incorrect for a deluxe. Shouldn’t it be a 24? Trying to decide if this is a true 21 window bus.

That vin is a 1966. The model 25 is a deluxe with short middle seat.
The mcode plate on the passenger seat wall will tell if it's real or not. Also make sure the vin on that plate matches the vin plate and the one stamped on the right hand side engine shelf by the battery area.
Take a pics if both of those as well.

Here is the M Code Plate and the decipher.
The VINs Match and the original paint sticker matches.
Do we have a Winner?
It doesn’t show 21 Window or am I missing something. What s mod 251?

That looks right for an original 21 window bus.

Type 24 and type 25 are both deluxe buses. Since it does not have M-130, it was originally built as a sunroof bus with skylight windows.

Thank You Everyone!

I appreciate all your replies as I’ve been a Beetle and type 181 guy till now and have very little knowledge on type 2’s.

The Bus is now a new project and what a find in upstate NY.

What a great community to be part of.

Thanks Again! : )

Congrats on your new project. Sunroof buses are a lot of fun.

You will find a wealth of information about buses here in this forum, and plenty of people who are knowledgeable and passionate about buses.
