This is not a museum piece or fully restored show bus, but asolid, honest driverwith classic VW character. The paint has been repainted and it looks good from a few feet away but still has flaws up close. The bus has been used for everyday uses, so the headliner has some tears from use. It has been maintained, enjoyed responsibly, and is ready for its next owner to take it on new adventures.
