Exterior & Body Condition

This Bus presents well with an older respray in a striking Miami Blue hue. The paint is in good driver-quality condition, with some areas showing slight wear, particularly on the passenger-side sliding door where it has thinned. Despite this, the body remains impressively solid—a rarity for these classic VW Buses that often succumb to time and the elements. A functional roof rack adds to its vintage charm and practicality, making it ideal for weekend adventures.

Interior & Features

Inside, the tan interior is well-maintained, featuring parchment-colored bucket seats up front. A custom-cut wooden headliner enhances the cabin’s rustic appeal while being easier to maintain than traditional upholstered headliners. The black dashboard remains in great shape, free from major cracks or damage. Unlike many other examples, the middle seat is still intact, though easily removable for added space if needed.

This Bus comes with an extra gauge cluster and has several working electrical features, including functional wipers, headlights, turn signals, brake lights, and a radio. However, the speedometer and heater are non-functional, and the horn is currently inoperable.

Mechanical Performance

Powered by the classic air-cooled 1600cc VW engine, this Bus runs and drives as it should. These engines are renowned for their reliability, ease of maintenance, and affordability when it comes to parts. While not built for speed, the driving experience is engaging and fun, offering the kind of character only a vintage VW can deliver. Sitting over the front wheels enhances depth perception and control, making it surprisingly easy to maneuver. It rides on brand-new tires and wheels, installed within the last year for added confidence on the road.

A True Classic for Enthusiasts

For those who love classic VW Buses but aren’t looking to spend six figures on a 21- or 23-window model, this 1977 example offers an affordable, turn-key alternative. It has a strong beach vibe and is ready to be enjoyed as-is or taken to the next level with further restoration. Whether you’re cruising the coastline or heading to your favorite local car meet, this Bus delivers the charm and nostalgia that Volkswagen enthusiasts crave.

Don’t miss your chance to own this classic and experience the fun of vintage VW ownership!
