Beautifully Restored 1966 21 Window Deluxe Micro Bus. This bus was originally the promotional bus for the Mervyn's department store chain in California. It was during their ownership that the bus had a frame off restoration and was transported by trailer and outfitted with big sound system and driven in parades. etc.

I bought the bus from them in 2007 just prior to their 2008 closure and immediatly had it flatbedded to Automotive Restorations Inc in Stratford CT for an updated mechanical review replacing every belt. filter. gasket. seal. lube in addition to having the Weber carburators removed and rebuilt. In 2009 I had the bus repainted Caribbean Blue with Arctic White roof. The interior was reupolstered with Bright White seats with Caribbean Blue piping. This bus is a real showstopper as well as an excellent driver. Cruises easily along the highway at 70-75. I had seat belts installed in all seven seats.
Engine:-New (at my purchase) 1915 cc high performance dual Weber carburated engine installed during the Mervyn's ownership. As of my putchase there was 12. 24 miles on the odemetor. very low as bus was primarly transported by trailer. -Lightened flywheel. counterweighted crankshaft. engine parts fully electronically balanced. big valve heads. solid rocker shaft assembly. swivel feet valve adjustors. -Header exhaust. flowmaster muffler (heater boxes removed during Mervyn's restoration. I never drove in cold weather so didn't reinstall).
Front Suspension and Brakes:-3 1/2 inch drop spindles-Genuine Porsche front disc brakes
Rear Suspension and Brakes:-Swing axle lowering kit with removal of reduction gear boxes-Late Type I brakes drilled for Porsche pattern wheels
Body:- Excellent condition all around with 1 chip on the engine hood and a small blister on front roof just above passenger window. Both very easy touch up items. See photos. Gas gauge needs either replacement or needs wire reattached.
Storage: This bus has been in seasonally heated or air conditioned climate controlled automotive storage since I have owned. I was told by the Mervyn's rep that it was indoor stored and was meticulously maintained during their ownership. The bus is started and driven on a regular basis to keep everything in proper condition.
