Up for sale is this very special and rare bus.   It is one of the final bullet nose. walk through buses ever produced in Germany.   I have a certificate of Authenticity from the Stiftung Auto Museum Volkswagen.   It was built on January 29th. 1962 and left the factory on January 30th. 1962.

So. it is officially a 1962. with tons of characteristics of a 1961 bullet nose and many characteristics from a 1962.   The certificate also shows that it is a rare walkthrough delivery vehicle.   This is why there are no louvers in the rear cargo area above the motor louvers like the regular panel vans.   You will also notice that it has the separate slide rails for the front seats that were a “1962 ONLY” option.   You will also notice that it has the “curved top edges of the speedo cluster” from a 1962 and later bus with its original date code 1/62 fuel gauge.

This vehicle is finished in a tribute theme to the “Porsche Renndienst” panels. which basically translates to a “Porsche Race Service” vehicle.

Exterior:             

It was sanded down to bare metal. to fix any rust issues and then sprayed in the brilliant red you see in the finished product.   The paint is the one stage acrylic that was then sanded down again and painted again to ensure a nice deep shine.   All seals. moldings. chrome mirrors. rubber stops. lights. door handles. latches and bumpers were replaced or addressed.   Finally. it got the Porsche themed livery that makes it stand out like a toy or piece of candy!

Interior

It was also sanded down. sprayed in light grey to contrast beautifully with the exterior.   New kick panels. door panels and upholstery was installed.   Also. all dome lights and dash gauges were addressed.   The original speedometer with a 1/62 date code was removed. opened. greased. re-sealed. and re-set back to reflect the zero miles it has it its new life.   It currently has over 100 miles and counting.   The original fuel gauge also went through the same process.   New floor mat in the driver area and in the walkthrough areas is also installed.

Motor

Fresh new 1776 motor with 91. 5 mm Mahle pistons was built just for this bus.   It has vintage dual 40 Kadrons with the mesh filter housings freshly dipped in chrome and the covers were too.   New wires. crank pulley. alternator. distributor. premium ceramic coated exhaust. doghouse fan shroud. pulley tin. span >  ceramic coated J-tubes. ceramic coated dual muffler by Bugpack. brand new Bosch battery. and tons of other parts too!

Mechanicals

Fresh new shock absorbers. new brake lines. new master cylinder. new wheel cylinders all 4 corners. new brake shoes. new tie rod. span >  new fluids in reduction boxes.

Wheels and tires

Factory correct 15 bus wheels. sand blasted and powder coated.   New white wall tires 195/60/15. New chrome hub caps and new valve stems.
