This is an all-original, 2-owner Champagne Edition II bus that's been beautifully preserved and maintained, and well cared for.
Volkswagen sold less than 200 of these in the U.S. in 1978, making it one of the rarest of the buses.
I purchased it in December and brought it down to SoCal with the intention of keeping it as a family beach shuttle, but a job change has shifted my priorities and I need to let her go, sadly.
Brought to the U.S. from Germany in 1982 by the original owner, she has been kept snug in a garage in Oregon for 35 years by the 2nd owner. She's as original and clean as they come.
Runs, shifts, and drives flawlessly and with plenty of power. I had a compression check done, along with and a full tune up, brake adjustment, and shift linkage service in January 2017. She's ready for the road and can be driven across the country without hesitation.

I'm happy to assist with shipping and answer any questions. I just want this beautiful bus to go to a good home where she'll be driven and enjoyed for years to come.
Good luck.
