"V-8" 1965 VW V-8 Bus, Hot Rod/Street Rod, Volkswagon, VW Split Window Bus

1965 Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon Hot Rod/Street Rod

"V-8" 1965 (German) VW Split Window V-8 Bus.
These classic bus’s are highly collectable and sought after in todays collector car market place.
My Bus is a Original / Custom build with approximately 30k miles since restored.
It has the best of both worlds - all the looks of a classic split window bus with the reliability and power of a V-8 with a 3 speed auto.
All of the Original Classic details but with just enough customizing and modern updates needed to make it stand out and be driveable on the roads and highways today.
My bus is not a trailer queen but a bus that you can drive everyday if you elect to. It also a bus that you could drive across country on any given day. Reliable & Dependable
It is a solid California/Texas Bus.
Two Tone Deluxe with highly desirable paint in Bright Red & Black.
Since it is a driver i would rate the paint at a 7-8 out of 10. It looks great and does well at car shows & cruises but does have some imperfections to include a few small dents, small rock chips, small minor rust spots.
