Subject: Selling my 1970 VW bus in Maryland
I have a 1970 VW Bus which would be perfect for summer touring.
Unfortunately, I will not be around for summer touring. I have
a job which will cover pretty much all of the tour. Figured I'd
try to sell it to someone who could put it to good use (I also have
a motorcycle which I will be driving during the summer, so I
won't need the bus and I hate to see it just sit there). Anyway,
here are the specs:
1970 VW Bus, tan with white roof
newly rebuilt engine (bought it, didn't rebuild it myself)
warranty on engine good until October 1995
1600cc dual port (original was a single port, the upgrade
in power is noticeable)
doghouse oil cooler instead of standard (better cooling, doesn't
have some of the problems the standard oil cooler had)
Extractor Muffler instead of standard
Blue Bosch coil (better spark)
recently completely tuned (easy to do, will show how)
less than 2,000 miles on new engine
34 Pict 3 carbureator
rebuilt (bought it, didn't rebuild it myself)
specific for 1600cc dual port engine
electric choke
transmission in good shape
all four CV boots replaced last year, CV joints in good shape)
transmission fluid replaced six months ago
Shocks less than two years old
Body
one rust through in front of back right wheel well
(planning to fix this weekend)
dent around front left headlight (was there when I got the bus)
(planning to try to fix this weekend)
does not cause problems with headlight
All glass in windows in good shape (no cracks, seals in good shape)
some very minor dings (planning to coat and sand this weekend)
Note: I am going to do the bodywork necessary (listed above), but I
am not going to get it painted. If I got it painted, I would
probably ask for more money (at least as much as the paint job).
This way, whoever buys it will have it in the ready-to-paint mode,
and can decide how to paint it (color schemes, painting place)
themselves.
Interior
clean and in good shape
Style
The bus is a passenger bus, not a camper. The middle seat and the
back seat do come out but I have them in at the moment.
Miscellaneous
Huge collection of spare parts
box full of extra distributors
box full of various carbuerators
two extra, non-working engines
could be rebuilt
engine cores usually worth $50 to $100 when trading
three or four extra rims
A lot of other extra stuff
Selling price: $2,500 (slightly negotiable)
If interested, please e-mail me at bgold@bss2.umd.edu or call me
at work at (301) 405-4173 or at home a (301) 490-4394. It is preferable
to either e-mail me or call me at home.
