I've been working on her for almost three years. I'm convinced this is was the least rusty east coast bus in existence, ot that that's saying much! I have most of her history (previous owners) and she's always been in Maryland and Virginia.
I've replaced (funky green) the front floor, uter 12" of the cargo floors (photos show where she needs finishing on the left side), ower dog legs, ll jack points, ost outriggers, any pillars, nner and outer rockers, tc. Roof and nose are in great condition! The inner and outer front valances could still use some work if you wanted her to be perfect. I have the birth certificate and owner's manual. I have a correct middle seat (worth abou $3,000) that goes with her that is covered in aero baleric so it needs to be recovered. Front seats are already recovered beautifully. I accumulated every single interior panel...all OG and in very nice shape. I have blue OG mats for front and cargo area in good shape. The 1600 DP was rebuilt by Samba member and master mechanic, ike Neilson (FireBeetle) only 100 miles ago and runs great. The transmission was built by Rancho just a few months ago as were the RGBs. The steering is all new except the steering box. Even the center pin has been replaced! New shocks, ll shifter bushings, ll cables, tc. All windows were de-rusted, esealed, etc. EVERY piece of window rubber has been replaced!!! Rebuilt, beautiful working clock! Uninstalled year correct Bendix Sapphire VI (worth about $700)!!!This is easy one to finish up. I have logged every purchase and job completed. I spent $6,400 (three years ago...prices have escalated a lot) or the bus and have spent $12,700 on parts. That's $19,100 on "stuff". The labor was about 400 hours so far. You should be able to finish this guy with mostly labor alone...some finishin, ody work and paint blending and have a 35-40K DeLuxe. I'm only considering selling her because I have a bug for a Morgan Three Wheeler and need the garage space. Greatly prefer a buyer who comes and sees her only because I don't want any complaints after the sale about the quality of my work, tems not mentioned, tc. She runs, stops, urns, tc. Check out my feedback. It's 741 and 100% positive. Read the comments and know you're buying from an honest person intent on making people happy.
