1971 Vw Bus on 2040-cars

Thanks for checking out my bus.  I purchased this a year ago from a nice lady who intended to convert it into a food truck near Providence, RI (she found one in better condition).  She had purchased it a few years before from a lot where it had been lying dormant for some time.

Before getting her on the road, we put on new tires, redid the entire brake system, and a fair amount of the electrical (there is more work to be done on electrical).  Intending to go all the way down for my move to New Orleans, the generator gave out and the smoke did some damage to the upper intake manifold.  Over the course of trying to get it repaired, we had new spark plugs, a new carburetor, and a new motor put in.  At the moment, she starts, but the issue with the manifold is such that she does not idle very well.  (She didn't idle so well on the drive down, but I learned the trick to keep her running at stoplights).

She's a really good vehicle that is not too far from being entirely dependable.  She needs a bit of work.  Not very much to get her back on the road, but someone with the time and knowledge could do some absolute wonders with her.  I made it down to New Orleans without her, got a new car, and simply do not have the time or money to spend on rehabilitating a second vehicle.  Someone who does would be tremendously rewarded.

She's presently with a repair shop in Rocky Mount, NC (right off I-95) and I want her to find a good home.  The friendly folks at the shop will be able to tell you far more than I could about her condition, etc, and I'd be happy to put serious, interested buyers in touch. 

I would recommend that the purchaser either have this vehicle towed to where they live, or else speak with the kind folks at the shop to work on the next round of repairs to get it moving.  It does start, and my guess is that one with the golden touch could likely keep it from stalling, but I think the safe bet is to give it some work before putting it on the road.

IF YOU ARE TRYING TO PULL OFF ONE OF THOSE NIGERIAN/W. UNION SCAMS, PLEASE MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM.  DO NOT WASTE MY TIME.

I'm sorry to everyone else for having to go "all caps", but someone attempted that the first time and I found it to be frustrating and a waste of time.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions and thanks again for your interest.
