I am not a “VW person” per se. I like cool old VWs as much as the next guy but I don’t live and die by them. That being said, I was blown away by this cool VW bus which has been professionally stretched and modified in about a hundred different ways while still maintaining all of the character that made it cool in the first place. This is a show stopper and the price is as well. Currently the seller is asking $220,000 for the bus and the entire limo company operation that goes with it. That’s right, not JUST the bus but the company as well. Oh, and did I mention that this wild thing lives on the island of Maui? The very well composed eBay ad has a TON of information about this bus and why it was built but the long and short of it is that Maui is one of, if not the most popular destination wedding spot in the world. If you own a limo company and want to offer a cool service to your customers you need to stand out. Well, this was their plan for a vehicle that would set them apart. Built from the ground up in California, the thing is in immaculate shape and no expense was spared in its construction.
The kicker here is the 33 windows and the fact that the whole thing looks like a lost factory experiment brought back to life. Because it was built and designed to spend its whole life shutting people around an island where salt water is present in vast quantities, rust proofing was one of the primary objectives of the built. POR-15 and other sealers, rust proofing stuff was used throughout to maintain the looks as you see them here. The interior of the thing is as good or maybe even better than the exterior. The colors, deep rich wood, interior materials, and overall look is just stunning. The engine is a 2074cc, single carb piece designed to make the most low end grunt possible and the seller says that it’ll roll 65mph no problem down the highway. Parallel parking? That may be a small issue. Overall I think that this thing rules.
