Car description |

For sale is in the remains of a genuine 21 window 1965 VW bus, a ton of new metal for it, and a top of the line rotisserrie. The M Plates verify it as a genuine (255030231) 21 window born in Sept of 64. A tree fell on it and over the years of sitting the main chassis rails underneath the big sunroof in the middle rotted away…which is why its chopped up. I did buy four pieces from a company in Europe that will replace the middle section of the chassis rails. The front and rear sections, including the transaxle, seem to be in decent shape except the back 10” of the rear chassis rails, which I also imported pieces for. The rear wheels are seized. I know this will be a huge project or maybe a supplement to another project. I am far from an expert and bit off a little more than a woodworker looking for a hobby could chew. Please look at the pictures as I can’t make any real claim as to what is useable and not. I have been told the 2 side panels, Bumpers, Rear Axle, Rear and Front Ends, rear roof clip, rear hatch door, and engine lid are salvageable in the right hands (ie not mine). I have listed below all the new metal and original glass I have for it. Please see the pics of the lights and other little nick nacs I pulled off it. The extra steering wheel in the photo doesn’t go with it.
I have a notorized bill of sale from when I bought it and will provide the same to the buyer. There is one in roughly the same shape on ebay right now bid up to 10k with days left. I had much rather have this one because while it is a 21 vs 23 window, it comes with over 4k of new metal, a rotisserie, and most importantly I have done a ton of work cutting it up. Both buses are chasiss up major restorations and mine comes with metal ready to start and matching plates on both seat back and front roof.
Lastly, due to circumstance I am also including a top of the line Auto Twirler Rotisserree. I never put it together but have all the parts and the paperwork that came with it when I bought it used. Buyer will be responsible for shipping or picking it up. If you have questions I will do my best to answer them. If its not listed or pictured then I don’t have it.
