1966 VOLKSWAGON DELUXE BUS !! This is a rare optioned bus to say the least. It is a clean slate to create the bus of your dreams or drive it like it is. The deluxe has spent the last 8 years in a garage in Boise, Idaho and before that it was in Twin Falls, Idaho. This is a fairly dry bus, yes there is some rust but this one is clean in the bus world. The nose is original and in pristine condition. Still wearing the original emblem and the hella headlights! How cool is that! The front floor has a hole in it but its not going to need a full replacement. The cargo floor is savable as well. I have taken a ton of pictures so you can see how dry this bus is. According to the numbers the bus was originally two tone Titan Red on the bottom and the top Beige Gray what awesome colors. Along the way the bus was painted green everywhere. You can see the red wanting to come back to life. This deluxe had 15 inch rims on it? I did not know you could get a bus with 15 inch rims. I had the wheels powder coated and wrapped with new tires and hubcaps. The other options include the radio, clock, ash tray and lighter. The radio still works. I checked the number on the engine case and I do believe this is the original engine for this bus. I brought the bus to a local VW mechanic and he drained the oil and put in air cooled airplane oil. He also pulled the engine and replace the generator, fan, and accelerator cable. He stated that the engine looked to have been rebuilt and the clutch was new. How many years ago who knows? The bus runs great. I have driven the bus and its a lot of fun. The brakes will need some adjustment as they tend to pull. Who knows with some drive time they might straighten out. I have taken a ton of pictures so if you have questions please look at the photos. Give me a call if you have more. This is a great bus and maybe your next treasure!
