**Free shipping to the 48 USA States, r the port of your choice for International Buyers**

This 1961 VW Panelvan has just undergone a complete restoration. This was one of 96 VW microbuses used by the “Jewel Tea Company” in the 60’s/70’s. (see the historical pictures) They were unique from the factory with safari windows, wivel seat, as heater, nd sliding rear window. This bus is one of only a few known to still exist. It retains safari windows and a swivel seat. Most everything mechanical on the bus has either been replaced or restored. The bus underwent some metal work, ut most of the bus (including the cargo floors, ront floors, attery tray and long rocker) did not need any welding! This panel is powered by a fresh 1600 dual port motor, ith an aftermarket header/quiet pack exhaust. The bus runs and stops great, racks straight down the road, nd all electric works (including wipers).

Some notes: The bus came to me having had previous bodywork and a paint job (wrong color). I replaced the inner and outer rocker underneath the cargo doors, elded in proper tail light holes, nd fixed some of the bodywork that needed it. The front most cargo door sticks out a bit at the bottom (with the new seals installed). The shifting is a bit stiff, ut once you are used to it there is no problem. If you have driven an early bus then you know that they are finicky shifters. The swivel seat has been fabricated from split window rails and a bay window passenger seat & swivel. The cover/pad is a bit loose on there, ut I think it looks fine. Original metal is included in case the new owner locates the period correct split window swivel seat. The bus runs, rives, tops, nd all electric works. Idid very little underneath, xcept cables and brakes, s the steering is tight and the suspension feels good. The bus was undercoated early on, nd it has really preserved the bus. There was some of this coating in the cargo area, ut I wire brushed off as much as I could before it was painted. The front safari window glass has some sort of light pitting on them, ut this is not very noticeable or distracting.
