1959 Volkswagon Bus/Vanagon/split windshield/Classic antique/lots of old parts

1959 Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon two opening side doors/back door/Six side windows Description

I have my old 1959 VW Bus up for auction. Many years of fun with this vehicle, originally came from Arizonawith very little to no rustin the1980's,but it's time to clean up the yard!I have pulled it out to the driveway. It rolls, but Ihave not tried to start it/clean it up/etc. Tires are all dry-rotted, but held enough air to temporarily move it to a good towing/pickup location. Buyer is responsible for pickup,etc.This is a local listing auction.Please look carefully at all the pictures, as you will see that it is not complete with all the original parts. There are taillights missing,etc.Very rusty in many places, but I was assured that it would be good for a restoration project. I wish I had the time/money (and energy!),as I have seen how much money they go for restored. Thedrivers door is rusted off, but stored in back of thevehicle. There is an extra rear engine compartment body panel door from another bus, and a gas tank, and lots of other various partsalso stored in the back./rear lights/lenses are missing from the body/was a good engine 10 years ago when I drove it and parked it in the back 40.The engine in it now was from a 1972 Super Beetle/ran when I parked it to retire, so would probably fire up with a minimal amount of work./Transmission was good and tight also/I never had any loose feel or shifting problems,etc. It is from a 1966 VW Bus/the original "old split" transmission mount was converted over to a newer style (1966)transmission./Electrical was converted to 12 volt system (I believe, if I remember correctly). Wiring is probably all worn and brittle though. Lots of rust! Including lots of good bus, and maybe somebeetleand other variousparts loaded inside the back of thevehicle. I don't have a title or any paperwork left, and of course it is not registered anymore. The steering is very tight. A new kingpin was machined a few years before I retired the vehicle.A black aluminum side panel was fabricated on the drivers side lower length for future body repair/but never finished with body filler. Could go on a lot about the history, but please feel free to ask any questions, or request any specific pictures. Have fun bidding!
