1978 Volkswagen Bus Kombi Low Miles 21,713 SURVIVOR Transporter VW Wagon 1949

Thanks for checking out this rare survivor Kombi Bay Window, nbsp; very hard to find in this condition. This bus is probably one of the lowest and most original 1978 VW buses in the country. It was bought new at Eyerly Volkswagen in November 1977, alem, regon. It has spent its whole life right here in the same town for over 38 years. This is a true two owner vehicle,alwaysgaraged and always loved and cared for. Some dear friends of mine, ave and Kay, ought this bus from the original owner's family in 2008. They were at a family wedding, nd ran into an old high school acquaintance. After they started talking, he bus came up in the conversation, hey new that Dave and Kay loved special classic cars. She started to explain the history of this VW Bus. The bus was bought new by her father, nd after a few years of ownership he had passed away, ith only 18,000 miles on the odometer. The bus had still been kept up through the years, ut only backed in and out of the garage. Dave loves a great story and he loved this bus, o like any classic vehicle, e pampers and improves them. But he knew this bus was an extremely special and rare find, o he did make a few modifications that he could reverse. They bought this bus to enjoy and show off with his family. They have owned it for the last 7 years, nd they loved it so much. It was always the go-to vehicle when they went to car shows. He had one of the nicest 1963 Corvettes in the country, ut the Corvette soon took a back seat to this bus. It has been to a lot of shows here in our area. In 2010 they had it up at the Woodburn National VW Meet, nd Hot VW's was there. When the editor first saw it, e thought"what a nice restored bus!" , ut as he got closer to it, e realized this was an original survivor!! I show pictures of the December issue of Hot VW's and the feature they did on it. At pretty much any show it goes to, t will win an award. They took it to the largest show here in the Northwest, he Portland Roadster Show. Out of all of the cars there, t won the Peoples Choice Award, st in Original Class, nd the Best Original Engine Compartment. Truly a great showing. I took lots of photos, lease check them all out. What you are looking at is an original bus with some upgrades. It is not a restored trailer queen, ut it is in awesome condition.

The body on this bus is suburb, bsolutely no rust, o rust repairs, xtremely clean. When they got the bus in 2008, t looked very nice, actually saw it the day they bought it, ave dropped it by my place, nd I could not believe my eyes. It had some minor chips and small scratches on it, ut it had the original wheels and tires on it. It is a very clean and original bus. Dave took it home, nd he started to clean it and polish everything. He is retired, nd he likes his cars to be kept in great condition. The paint is very nice, ith a great shine. I do know that when the first owners had it, er dad had few spots touched up. Behind the rear wheel on the drivers quarter panel, e had scraped it in his garage, nd had the VW dealership repaint a small section behind the back wheel on quarter. It had various little chips and small scratches on it from sitting for many years, o it has been detailed on the outside, ith small touchup on little chips and scratches. You have to remember it is original paint, o the touchups were just making it as nice as possible. Outside, t looks awesome. It looks good inside as well, ut under shop lights, ou can see some of the small touchups and small dings that are in the body, ostly on the driver's side down lower. But overall, ut in the sunlight, o one would say a word, t looks great. It is wearing all of its original glass and the original weather stripping and felts. It is truly amazing. If you know buses, his stuff does not last as long as it has on this vehicle, nless it is low mileage and garaged. The front and rear bumper have been chromed. They were originally white, ut my friend wanted them to look really nice, o had them chromed.

The interior is amazing and is not restored, his is the way it is. Perfect panels, erfect headliner, riginal rubber floor mats, mazing floors. The only item that has been replaced inside is the center seat upholstery. It was out of the bus, nd something ripped the seat, o the cover had to be replaced. Overall, he interior is just flat out amazing. The original owner had already replaced the radio, o my friend Dave had the radio upgraded, nd it sounds great.

The engine is original, ou can look at the original stampings and tags on it in the photos. It is totally amazing. It runs very good and has never been out of the bus. It does not blow smoke or burn any oil. It does have a few typical oil leaks, hich you often see on these, specially on something so original. I was pretty amazed at how much power this bus has, specially with an AT transmission. The brakes all work well. This is one of the nicest riding buses I have ever been in. Not a rattle, ot a squeak, t just glides down the road. The steering box has a leak, nd probably will need to be resealed down the road, ut it steers flawlessly. Everything works on this bus, ncluding all of the lights and the heater.As you can see, t has been slightly lowered. It has been lowered in the front with drop spindles, nd the rearend has been lowered by adjusting the rear torsion arms 5 degrees. Another alteration is that the exhaust has been upgraded.

The very small upgrades to this bus can be reversed very easily. This will be the only bus like this at any show. Once people realize that it is original, t will draw a crowd!!!
