WAS FUEL INJECTED AND CONVERTED TO CARBURETOR BY PREVIOUS OWNER BUT I WAS TOLD IT COULD POSSIBLY NEED A REBUILD ON CARBURETOR AS IT IS WAY UNDERPOWERED FOR A 2.0COULD USE NEW WINDOW AND TRIM RUBBER.TIRES ARE IN GREAT CONDITION, ORIGINAL RIMS AND HUBCAPS IN NICE SHAPENEW SPARK PLUGS, CAP AND ROTORHEADLINER HAS ONE SMALL CUTDISK BRAKES IN FRONT AND WORK PERFECTCLUTCH IS GREATHORN WORKSPARKING BRAKE WORKSCARBURETOR ON IT NOW IS A 32/36.HAS ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP AND NEEDS A FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR, THIS IS MOST LIKELY THE REASON FOR IT BEING UNDERPOWERED AS CARB MAY BE GETTING TOO MUCH GAS.
I GOT A SECOND DIAGNOSTIC AND QUOTE FOR WORK NEEDED: $140 ON CARB REBUILD AND FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR WITH PARTS INCLUDED. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC THAT SAW IT TODAY IT SHOULD RUN GREAT WITH THAT DONE.
I ADDED SOME INTERIOR PICS TODAY.

51,779 MILES ON ODOMETER, BUT UNKOWN IF HIGHER. I WOULD THINK ODOMETER HAS TURNED OVER.
MAKE ME AN OFFER I CAN'T REFUSE!YOU WILL BE THE TALK OF THE TOWN IN THIS. EVERYONE LOOKS AT THIS BUS, POINTS, SMILES AND WAVES AS I DRIVE BY.
THE OTHER BUS PICTURED IS A 1974 WITH AN 1800CC MOTOR. I AM ALSO SELLING THAT ONE. I PUT IT ON THERE SO YOU CAN SEE THE DROP ON THE BUS.
I WAS ASKED IF I WOULD SELL BOTH OF THE BUSSES FOR ONE DISCOUNTED / PACKAGE PRICE. I CAN DO $17,000 FIRM AND YOU'LL GET BOTH OF THEM. BUYER PAYS SHIPPING.
I JUST BOUGHT AN EMPI CARB REBUILD KIT THAT I AM THROWING IN WITH THE BUS.
PEOPLE ALWAYS ASK WHAT IS THE LOWEST THAT I WILL TAKE. I HAVE DROPPED PRICE TO MY LOWEST AND SET IT AS A STRAIGHT "BUY IT NOW" ITEM. THANKS FOR LOOKING.
FIRST PERSON TO ACT GETS IT. GOOD LUCK.
