Description for Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon 1961
SoCal Classic Car Storage in Laguna Hills, California is proud to present one of the finest examples of a 1961 VW Type ll Double Cab we've seen in a long time. On behalf of one of our clients, we're privileged to have the opportunity to represent this vehicle.Timing is everything and if you've been searching for a high caliber restoration, you're in luck. This Double Cab recently received a complete nut and bolt restoration using the best of the best parts. From the stunning two tone paint finish to the 2276cc fully built motor, this VW is ready for it's first owner (post-restoration). That's correct.... just completed and with 3 miles on the odometer, you'll be the first to showcase this beauty in your garage, at your local car show and share with your family and friends.
Chris at Likuid Kreations in Chino Valley, AZ is the talented individual who's responsible for bringing this Double Cab back to life. Chris is a one man show and a perfectionist when it comes to high quality restorations. As seen in the photos, this Double Cab needed quite-a-bit of attention. After a lengthy restoration, the finished results are stunning.
The body was given the full treatment by replacing every panel where rust was present. It was then properly prepped before the three stage paint finish was applied. The final step involved wet sanding and buffing the finish to a high lustrous shine. Each body panel is laser straight with every gap meeting Chris' high standards. Again, the end result is nothing short of perfection.
Other points of interest include the Safari style pop-out windshield and rear window. Of course a new wiring harness was installed to ensure the electrical system is safe and trouble free.
