1960 Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon Single Cab

Here we have a daily driver in remarkably original condition. This truck has been the delivery and pick up vehicle for a local hardware store in Southern California for the last 8-1/2 years. Having to rely on it day-to-day, we have maintained it in tip-top mechanical condition. Prior to that, it was owned by a private party in Portland, Oregon as his fun weekend vehicle. He told me that the truck had always been in Oregon. The truck starts right up every time and mechanically runs fine. All electrical works except for the gas gauge. It works, but needs a resistor to read the gas level properly - common VW problem. As can be seen in the pictures, the body is in good condition. There is evidence of some repair under the drivers feet area. This was common with the OEM rubber mats trapping water. The treasure chest is solid. The treasure chest doors gas developed a number of paint bubbles. Turns out that a prior owner had installed the treasure chest door gasket only on the bottom. If you only install one gasket, this was the worst place to install it. It trapped water and caused the paint bubbles - not rust through, just bubbles. I put the gasket on top. It could use the other 3 gaskets. Safari windows look wand work great - not original to the vehicle. I have sold several vehicles on EBay and believe on disclosing the worst case. Keep in mind that this is a 58 year old vehicle so don't expect perfection. That said, you will get constant remarks from other drivers. This is a really cool and unusual daily driver. Inspections welcome and preferred. Additional pictures available. Questions welcome. Just message through EBay. I gave set a reasonable reserve so bid early and often to win. Good Luck!
