Busla Electric 1968 Double door Volkswagen bus

Nate — Thu, 15 Jun 2023 06:26:02 +0000

Busla Electric 1968 Volkswagen doubled door panel bus. This bus was built in 2012 by Leif’s auto body in Portland Oregon. It was built with some other projects, intended to support local PNW artisans. No expense was spared on building this bus, the work is top notch. Very custom and unique, this VW bus turns heads and makes smiles everywhere it goes. Drives and rides great, with Wagenswest suspension and brakes. The paint is high end with a wild mural depicting a bearded man, just killing it, doing board sports in the PNW. Has a painting of both Seattle and Portland, showing what they looked like before they fell. The interior is crazy cool with custom leather and a bumping stereo system. Also it has solar panels that come out of the roof and power the accessories. Porsche pattern Wagenswest 4 piston disc brakes on all 4 corners and chrome 17’’ Porsche Fuch wheels.

There are two things that will need attention. Number one, is the front door windows, 1 piece windows the intent. But it didn’t happen so, included is original wing windows, glass and cranks in the sale.

Second the battery needs replaced, it has no stamina and needs to be moved from the cargo floor. Approximate cost for a batter 5,000 to 10,000 depending . Or a gas motor ? Without much trouble?

Very cool collectible bus.

Sold as is and we only have 1 in-stock

Thanks for looking
