1969 Subaru 360 Vintage Micro Bus Van Sambar RARE 69 Rust Free Barn Find Hipster

1969 Subaru 360 van. project.   This thing is like a miniature VW bus!  Super cool & rare to see!  Hard to find & this one is rust free in the important spots!  I have been a unique car enthusiast for 30+ years & this was the first Subaru Bus I had seen when I spotted it an a barn of a house I was looking to buy.   I had to have the Subaru. so i worked it in on the house deal.   The previous owner says that he bought the bus in Washington state in 1987.   He put new tires on it & drove it a few times & then parked it in the barn where it has been setting since 1987.   Still has the 1987 MO tags on it.   I have not done anything to the bus other than put air in the tires & push it out of the barn.   Still is dust covered & has some remnants of animals being in it.   The bus has spent the last 27 years in a dry barn! 

Does not run or drive.   You CANNOT fly in & drive this back to socal!  It does roll. barely.   It has the 360cc 2-stroke engine with manual trans.   I have checked that the engine is not locked up.    The left rear wheel trys to lock up while rolling. figure it is a brake shoe dragging.   All parts are intact & all of the glass looks good.   Looks like the bus was originally white & or red & looks like the seats have been recovered.   The best part about this bus is that it is virtually rust free.   The only spot of rust is in the left quarter panel around the air intake ? area.   It appears there was moisture being held in that area becasue I cant find another spot of rust anywhere on the bus top or bottom.   It looks that there was some minor body damage on the r. front into the door area that was somewhat repaired at one time.   The L. qtr. around the rust area also has a dent.   Overall a very straight & solid bus.   I just dont have the time for it. have to many projects.  

Do some google searching & you will see some of the cool things that can be done with these. the sky is the limit for mods. or everything is here to restore original.   Please ask questions & I have many more pictures.   If you are a 360 bus expert & know of secret hiding spots for rust let me know & I will look & take pictures.
