Description: 1973 Volkswagen Bus/Van 4 speed Manual (German Built) Highly sought after German Built RED 1973 Bay Window Bus. I bought it in 2020 and it has been serving beer and mixing drinks at parties & charity events ever since. I've included a few pictures with it holding a keezer, surfboard, party lights & palm trees just for reference (THESE ITEMS DO NOT COME WITH BUS, but they made it SO MUCH FUN) After it's last party, it got stuck in 2nd gear. I drained and replaced the tranny fluid, got it out of 2nd gear and now can't get it into REVERSE. It's goes into 1st gear and it's forward gears, but not reverse. It could be a simple fix by just needing it's shifting linkage adjusted or could be more complicated needing new synchos or a rebuilt transmission. I don't know much of it's history, other than I bought it out of the mid west. The paint is driver quality, has some chips here and there but shines overall and looks incredible going down the road. It usually takes a shot of starter fluid to get it going if it hasn't been started in a few weeks. Once it starts and warms up, it will start right up again within the same day. I believe the engine is oversized from the original, has been rebuilt and runs pretty good after it warms up and idles. The windows appear to be all original and have the German markings on them as in the pictures. The front passenger side and driver side windows do not role down and are ready for the power window upgrade! A POWER WINDOW UPGRADE KIT is INCLUDED!! The seats appear to be original, patched over the years and ripped in spots because they are old and dry. Overall, this Bay Window beauty we have called CHERRY BAY is beyond a blast to have at your party, serve mixed drinks off it's back deck or drive thru town to get every look or every person you pass. You can't even imagine how much attention this ol' girl attracts. I have a CLEAN & CLEAR VA title in my name ready to transfer to the new owner.
