This 1979 Volkswagen Type 2 bus was registered in California before it was acquired by the seller in 2012, and it is finished in red and white over black vinyl upholstery. The seller tells us that the van was refurbished circa 2014, and modifications include a front anti-sway bar, LED headlights, a rear bumper light strip, a touchscreen head unit, aftermarket speakers, a ROAV dash cam, a fabricated storage console between the front seats, a dashboard-mounted cell phone mount and cupholders, a rearview camera, and a “barefoot” gas pedal.

Power is provided by a 1,970cc flat-four paired with a three-speed automatic transaxle, and additional equipment includes 14″ steel wheels, dual side mirrors, and a cabin heater. This Type 2 is now offered at no reserve with an owner’s manual, four keys, a roof rack, thermal window covers, a pop-up shower, spare parts, service manuals, and a clean California title in the seller’s name. The bus has been refinished in red and white, and it features dual side mirrors, white-painted bumpers, a retrofitted rear bumper light strip, clear front turn signals, and LED headlights with visors.

The seller says that the side markers have been replaced. Indents are noted on the right front door near the side marker and near the left headlight, there are blemishes in the window tinting, faded paint is noted, and rust is present on the rear bumper. The 14″ steel wheels wear hubcaps and are wrapped in 185-series Hankook Vantra LT tires. A front anti-sway bar has been installed, and stopping power is provided by front disc and rear drum brakes.

The front bucket seats, removable second-row bench, and folding third-row seat are trimmed in black vinyl and complemented by a color-matching dashboard and door panels. The seller tells us that the driver’s seat foam has been replaced, along with the window cranks. Power front door locks have been installed, but the wiring has not been completed. Additional modifications include an SSL touchscreen head unit with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, along with auxiliary speakers, a ROAV dash cam, a fabricated storage console between the front seats, a dashboard-mounted cell phone mount and cupholders, a rearview camera, and a “barefoot” gas pedal.

The electric rear cabin fan is connected to a secondary camping battery, and it functions slowly due to a low battery charge. Patches have been applied to the headliner, and additional photos of the interior condition are viewable in the gallery below. A two-spoke steering wheel fronts a 90-mph VDO speedometer and a fuel level gauge. The five-digit odometer has rolled over and now shows 9k miles. The seller estimates that approximately 50k miles have been driven under current ownership.

The seller tells us that the air-cooled 1,970cc flat-four was removed and overhauled at approximately 78k miles by Walt’s Service Inc. in Columbia, Missouri. The engine reportedly requires an extended period to warm up, but the seller notes it is easier to start when warm. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transaxle. Additional photos of the underside condition are viewable in the gallery below.

A roof rack without rain rail clamps is included in the sale, along with a thermal window cover set, a bus cover, camping equipment, spare parts, and service manuals. The vehicle was labeled a California Gross Polluter in 2012 and subsequently passed multiple smog tests, the most recent of which was in March 2024.
