1964 VW 21-Window Walk Thru Split WIndow Deluxe Bus | German-Built | Custom Restomod
Considering trades for a clean, well-built Chevrolet K5 Blazer 4WD, either the earlier round-body generation or the later square-body style. I prefer Classic 4wd's
I'm not interested in excessively modified or over-the-top builds. A tasteful restomod is perfectly fine, provided the exterior and interior retain their original factory appearance and classic styling. Prefer quality craftsmanship, clean bodywork, and a relatively OEM presentation.
ABOUT THE BUS
This is a 1964 Real German - NOT a late model Brazilian reproduction.
Tons of stuff on this bus to make it unique and stand out. Always the biggest hit at car shows and gets so much love from people all over the world. And forget about all the videos be taken while driving. If you don't like attention, this isn't for you.
CUSTOM 2110CC PERFORMANCE ENGINE
At the heart of the build is a professionally assembled 2110cc air-cooled Type 1 engine constructed by Paul Ripa of J.B. Bugs in Jensen Beach, Florida.
The engine features a carefully selected combination of premium performance components, including a stroker rotating assembly, forged internals, Nikasil cylinders, CNC-machined cylinder heads, and a custom valvetrain.

A significant performance improvement over a factory 1964 VW bus, with an engine built around quality components and long-term reliability.
