Description of 1967 Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon |

1967 California Road Runner Camper. This is the walk thru model. I bought this van from the same owners since 1981, they were the second owners . They purchased the van on December 3, 1981 with 51,000 original miles on it (I have the bill of sale). The van now has a total of 83,958 original mileswhichis fully documented buy themeticulous repair records that came with the van. This is the true definition of a barn find survivor.The van has meticulous records and maintenanceand repair historyfrom 1981 to 1995 when it was parked in a garage for over 20 years ( I have a stack of records/repair receipts) as well as the original Washington license plates, factory manuals and books. The van was parked in 1995 due to the brake system needing replacement. The van never left the garage and was stored for thelast 20 years. The vanhas not seen the light of day in till 2016 when I purchased it. Right before its long hibernation/storage the motor was completely rebuilt. The rebuilt motor has less than 6000 miles on it. I have the receipt for that as well. I just invested over $5,000 into going through the van from top to bottom. I did all repairsnecessary for being off the road and not driven for 20+ years . The van now runs and drives excellent. The van is 99% rust free. The only area of (minor) corrosion is in the passenger side battery tray. The van is an original time capsule. The van has had only one repaint to its factory original color. The interior is original and in excellent condition. Perfect wood headliner. The interior cabinets are excellent as seen in the pictures. The rear seat/ z bed, jump seat and rear cushion all have new upholstery. The inside of the van is in remarkable condition.

The under carriage is solid and dry and free of any rust. The van has never been in a serious accident, the nose is excellent. This is not a restored bus. This is a survivor in exceptional original condition. Interior- The interior is in exceptional original condition.

I have meticulous repair and maintenance records from 1981 to 1995. A true original survivor barn find... 83,958 original documented miles.
