Up for auction is this newly restored 1966 Volkswagen “Walk Thru” Microbus . This bus has been through an extensive top to bottom restoration and is now ready for the car show and / or that cross country drive you have always wanted to take. If you have ever in your life wished to own an old Vw bus this may be the one you've been waiting for. From the painted undercarriage to the stainless steel roof rack and added accessories attention to detail is evident.
