1971 Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon Description

1971 Bay Window Camper Bus Restored

Meet Kermit, my 1971 VW baywindow bus. Runs and drives and is ready for new adventures with his next person!
Kermit enjoys fun trips up and down the Pacific Coast Highway and also going camping.
He has been featured in the Yung Pinch x Gashi music video Wink Emoji, the filming of which he enjoyed very much. He especially liked the Spicoli scene where they all come tumbling out of the bus.

Kermit has 4 cylinders, dual carburetors, and the engine size is most likely 1700 per the mechanic. Recent maintenance includes: new alternator, spark plugs and wires, distributor cap and rotor, pushrod tubes and seals. Body has been fully restored and most of the rubber window seals have been replaced. Has a nuisance oil leak and the title is salvaged but as noted the body has been fully restored. From California - so very minimal rust (small amount along passenger side rain gutter). Interior vent / heater does not work, and the speedometer recently stopped working.
Kermit is ready for camping trips with a pump action sink that dispenses from a water canister stored in the bench seat and which drains to outside. He has a dual battery camping setup with electric and USB interior plugs, and a Bluetooth stereo system with front and rear speakers and remote. He also has plenty of overhead LED lights to illuminate your evening when hanging out playing cards at the table and drinking whiskey. Custom beech headliner. Wide plank white oak flooring with waxed finish. Custom cabinet with pallet board doors and leather pulls. When you are ready to retire, there is a cozy bed for two people, surrounded by full privacy curtains.
