1965 VW BUS 11 WINDOW

After much thought. I have decided to list my 1965 VW Bus for sale.  It turns heads everywhere and brings lots of attention.  It is affectionately known as "Surf Patrol".  Born in Hawaii. I have restored this with an island theme even with two murals on the underside.  I love the islands and can imagine this bus as the perfect vehicle to drive around and check out beaches.  I will constantly try to update the listing as often as I think of more to add but I am not under any pressure to sell.  I did not make it to the last 3 shows that I wanted to attend which are part of the reason I am listing the bus.  I think that even though I love this bus. there might be someone out there that will love it the same and have more time to take it out.  With my oldest in high school sports and my youngest in middle school sports. time is hard to come buy and I love going to their games.  There are some little things here and there that still need attention. but it is a great bus. This bus is stored 100% of the time in my locked garage.  I also will include the car cover.  

Some of the features are as follows:  2387 cc Bergmann engine-hydraulic valves (don't need adjustment). dual empi carbs. remote oil cooler. braided oil lines. dyno'd at 166hp. A-1 sidewinder exhaust (ceramic coated). 1. 5qt additional oil sump. breather box. ragtop. modified roof rack to fit in the garage. custom gauge panel in dash. chrome 5 spoke empi wheels. Rancho Performance pro street transmission powdercoated in mercedes silver. new gas tank. headlights. turn signals. Banjo steering wheel.  restored middle seat. (previous owner didn't have the middle seat. they had a table) seat belts throughout. new rear end. dual master cylinder. safari front windows and side pop out windows. custom interior carpeting. interior panels and drapes.  I do have receipts for nearly everything since I have owned the bus.  I do have the stock wheels that match the bus though they need some attention.  I also have the original rear drums and lots of other vw stuff that I will package up and send with the bus.  (oil change gaskets. misc gaskets. misc parts. etc)    I do reserve the right to end this auction early as it is for sale locally as well.  I will not be disclosing the reserve price either. so don't both asking. I will relist if it doesn't sell and will be adding to the listing as necessary. either pics or descriptions.  In the event of a sale. I will hold title until payment is made in full.  If payment is not received within 7 days. I will re-list the bus.  

On Dec-29-13 at 17:13:00 PST. seller added the following information:

less than 1500 miles on the engine and transmission.  I will not be including my original vw toolkit in the auction that is seen in one of the pictures.  I will include the vintage suitcase in the sale and my vintage fiberglass hawaiian tropic surfboard also.  I believe I have 8 white plastic stanchions that I can also include in the sale of the bus.  You can use either plastic chain with them or rope. your choice.  I have both but the chain was cut to fit another vw so i won't include either.  In terms of props. I also have a wheel stand which is used when you take off a front wheel to display. it holds the car up in lieu of the wheel and tire.  (see one of my pics).  I also bought one of those vintage coolers-i think that is in one of the pics to (it's white) which i will also include as well as a piece of black fake turf that I park on when showing.  I also have some plexiglass type mirrors that I used to show the belly pans. under the bus.  Basically. I am including most of the display stuff I own.  

In terms of parts. I have misc tuneup parts. gaskets. seals. a sony or alpine (forget which one it is right now) head unit and some shift bushings that haven't been replaced.  The bus has a jvc head unit and I bought the other to replace it but never got the chance.  It is xm ready I believe and can control an ipod too. if memory serves me right.  I already mentioned I have the stock wheels and hubcaps. stock non pop out glass for side windows that were saved. just a lot of extra stuff.
The gauges are autometer street and include a clock. tach. oil pressure. oil temp and voltmeter.  Stock speedometer is used.  The oil lines are not braided as I mentioned in the original description. the breather lines ARE braided. The oil lines are NOT braided. the black heavy duty line is better.  It has a 16 pass empi oil cooler.
