This is is a VERY RARE UNIQUE VW Bus... ONE of 11 known factory swivel seats!!!!

This has a FACTORY SWIVEL SEAT (M-Code 199).

It has BOTH VW FACTORY ORIGINAL M-Code & UA data plates attached to the door jams (SEE PICTURES).

Data plate also says UA which means it was originally shipped to Los Angeles.

Factory steering wheel and original 1961 super rare dash which was only made in that year.

It is a 1961 professionally engineered so the factory metal roof which allows almost entire roof to open as seen in the pictures.

The bus and has also been professionally stretched 24" for extra comfort while the new 1835cc engine with less than 500 miles provides plenty of power for highway speeds.

This is also a WALK THRU bus and can easily be configured however the buyer chooses in house at my remanufacturing facility in Costa Mesa, A or shipped anywhere in the world at an additional cost.

Laser straight every way you look at it.

I own a vehicle manufacturing company in Costa Mesa, A "Big Limos" which can professionally rotisserie restore and paint this rare vehicle to make it a show worthy museum quality stunner for an additional fee. Priced under its market value for a timely sale.

I can assist with delivering vehicle to shipping companies in the Los Angles area for overseas buyers.

1961 VW Bus that has been highly modified and in superb condition. This is a bus I rarely drive only as a Sunday driver or to local shows.

The roof and segment conversion were completed using original parts. The structural material is a perfect fitment. Everything about this roof and segment conversion is EXACT like it was done from VW. It took a long time to complete but results are as awesome as it gets. A true "ONE OF A KIND".
