This 13 window YWCA Kombi is unique because it is believed to be the only VW Bus that was actually used to transport the young women around in Augusta Georgia In the mid 60s . The Young Women Christian Assoc was only open for a few years I have heard. then only the YMCA was open and still exist today.    I dont know if it was sold by Colman motors but I do have the original ID card with the bus that was used when it was serviced at the dealership.   A copy of it will be shown in the listing but I do have the real plastic card which is very legible with this buses serial number on it.   This bus like many had bad floors which have been replaced. They will need welded in better but they are very strong and I have driven this bus to many local shows.  There are only two areas that need new metal put in and thats the lower door on the drivers side on below the hinge area bottom out side is ok.  and the battery tray and corner area. both are easy fixes.
There is a lot of patina on the bus .  The rain gutter is rusty as seen in pics but is not rotted through anywhere and the top does not leak.     This bus needs someone in the know of how to bring it back without spoiling the histotical logos that were painted on the bus back then.  I have no idea how to even begin fixing this kombi and keeping the existing patina so I am putting it on here hoping someone will buy it and fix it the way it should be done.   A guy at one of the local VW shows was excited to see this bus and wanted a picture beside it saying he worked at Colman motors in 1965 and has worked on it.   I have put new wheel cylinders. lines and shoes on it a couple years back and installed a 1600 duel port motor that runs ok. The steering is tight.
The horn works. signals flash. headlight and taillights work and tires are ok but not great.    I might still have the original block I will check   Here is your chance to own this only bus in the world that has such a unique history.   Thanks for bidding and good luck. nbsp; All shipping must be arranged by the buyer.    A  $500 deposit must be received within 24 hours of the end of the auction by postal money order. wire transfer. or pay pal.     I will be posting more pics on a site I will link later 
I had to put a mileage in the area to list this Bus . I put 100. 00 miles however the true milage is not known.
