Description of 1956 Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon

Awesome early bus with a recently installed professionally built original style camper interior. This cool bus cruises down the road at 60+mph. I seriously think it is the original mileage. I don't think the engine or trans have ever been removed. The trans does make some noise, but was told by a retired Porsche mechanic/friend that it will go 100,000 miles making that noise! I wouldn't even think about selling, but I have another double door panel I want to restore to perfection. In my mind this bus is PERFECT the way it is. The Chick Iverson logo is so cool that a slot car has been created with the exact logo and they are for sale by many dealers here on eBay! Although the logos are not original, they look as though they could be! This bus has some minimal rust on the body and part of the front floor is rusty. Recently replaced all of the brake components including all steel brake lines. Never been hacked dash, wheel wells or any body areas! Just reupholstered front bench seat with original style material. New repro standard 3 spoke steering wheel. European headlights. Original bubble tail lights, third brake light deck lid, original crank start apron with crank. Cool camping awning with bamboo poles and bamboo rack. Won the best surfing vehicle at this years Big Wednesday VW/Surfing event! New tires installed 2 months ago, with Porsche hubcaps. Starts up in seconds even after sitting for weeks. I am open to some trades, like early Porsche 912's or 356's.
