"Ground up fully restored 1960 23 window bus. The colors Mouse Gray/Pearl White are fantastic. This bus was totally restored about 3 years ago. The owner only drove it 300 miles since completion. It has been stored inside since he bought it. At the time of restoration it was taken all the way down started fresh with full metal work and show paint. The interior is done like it would have been in 1960. All new seat covers and panels. New moldings on the panels. This is the last year for the pockets in the front door panels. Has all the luggage bars and grab bars on the middle and rear seats. New jail bars for the rear windows. New German Gray cloth headliner and white sunroof cover. When installing the windows all new rubbers were used. All new door seals along with the rest of the rubber for this car. New side body moldings and bumper moldings. All the mechanics are either new or rebuilt. New rebuilt 1600cc engine single port with powder coated sheet metal. The generator is a 12 volt system. Transmission is rebuilt and is from a 67 for better highway driving. All the brakes were changed with new German parts. New WW radial tires and triple plated hub caps with painted logo's. This show stopper is stored at Sun Valley Auto Club, Idaho's premier storage facility for restored classics. It is offered for sale and more photos and or video can be obtained by contacting Shep @ 208.721.1973

Those old Kombi wagons are very desirable in the collector market but I don't think the price reflects what the market will pay in this economy--particularly since it isn't a true restoration.

Maybe it's the "4 bolt big nut transmission" that makes it worth so much. I don't know how you could ask that much with just a couple little nuts. :D

I think there are some BIG nuts to warrant the asking price.
Got love? Give love.
