1977 Volkswagen Bus, Type 2 VW Bus Transporter

Description for Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon 1977

If you’re looking for a pampered VW Type 2 Bus then this just might be your answer.

From the east coast to the west coast and anywhere between, you could confidently fly to Indianapolis and drive this bus home. The motor runs strong. It does not leak or use oil.

Due to a death in the family, my wife has inherited the bus and has decided to sell it. Her Dad pampered the bus and it was his passion and joy. The motor in the bus now is from a 1979 bus. It is a GE model with hydraulic lifters, new pistons, heads, bearings and turned crank. Since this work, the motor has approximately 5,000 miles. The odometer shows 39,000 miles but the newer rebuilt motor will give it much longer life. As the photos show, the original motor and windows will also go with the bus along with buckets and containers of parts.

As a professional body man who ran his own business for decades, my father in law hated rust. He completely reworked the front of the bus and the front doors. They are double panel metal with oil, grease and corrosion inhibitors between. The rest of the bus saw the same treatment. There are a few paint chips near the rear of the bus and the right front fender is crinkled. He meticulously maintained the bus regularly.
