Vehicle description
1968 Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon Additional Info: We purchased this Double Cab locally from a man who owned it for over 20 years. It was garage kept and he drove it 2-4 times per year. He purchased it from a gentleman who went by the name "VW George" from the Lower Hudson Valley VW Society. He purchased it from a gentleman who brought the truck from California to New York State.
As with any older classic vehicle, its best to look at it in person when possible. For mileage, I put 99,999 as in my opinion its irrelevant, as its extremely easy on most older vehicles to swap the speedometer head with one showing lower mileage. Whats more important is the condition of the body and undercarriage and also the motor and transmission.
If your from the NJ area and go to the CJVWS Flanders show than you have seen this Double Cab there either in the swap section, or a couple of times in the show line up.
Brazilian roof height canopy was purchased from California by the previous owner. He sand blasted the frame and sprayed it with non-sanding epoxy primer in a color extremely close to original. He also had all new piping sewed in the canopy canvas.
Trans Nose Cone Rebuild kit installed along with Gene Berg Shifter (shifts like butter)
Engine Rebuilt (by VW George when he owned it) with GENE BERG parts:

Every brown spot you see on the truck is from California owner putting RUST CONVERTER on every scratch and paint rub off area thus converting it to brown and effectively sealing it in his mind (I guess).
