Split Window Buses
1958 15 Window Deluxe Press Bumper Bus
Here is a 1958 15 window press bumper bus. This bus was found in the dry country of Spokane Washington. It was a race to get once the bus was located but I was the first to come look at it and bought it. I wanted it for my personal collection but decided to put it for sale.
1967 Poptop Westfalia
This 1967 Poptop Westfalia Camper Bus arrived at the shop for a survivor patina build, but soon changed directions.
1956 Wolfsburg 23 Window Deluxe
This 1956 Wolfsburg built 23 Window Deluxe Bus was a special build. Our client wanted to utilize only VW original parts, which made the restoration very difficult and time consuming, but we love the way it turned out and it’s a blast to start up the 36hp motor and cruize around town. It’s a great feeling to know this Bus will be enjoyed for many many year to come.
1960 Volkswagen Double Cab Pickup
A rare 1960 Double Cab pickup. Our customer did most of the metal work and wants us to finish up the rear bed area then, continue with the body work and paint.
1962 Volkswagen Single Cab pickup
This Bus is from a customer in Washington. We can’t wait to start on it for him.
Bay Window Buses
1971 Volkswagen Bay Window Deluxe Red Bus
Here is a local Bus that we found and thought was a really solid Bus. The plan was to block sand it out and lay down a new paint job. After sanding the Bus down we found a lot of rust that we had to take care of…it quickly turned into a complete restoration.
