Volkswagen : Bus/Vanagon Camper Classic Original Riviera Camper VW Bus

$12,000

Winlock, Washington

Up for auction is one very original 69 ASI/Riviera Camper. This bus has the head room pop top, standard Z bed, jump seat and standard issue of cabinets and closets. Bus has a fresh 1600 dual port engine, new 34PICT3 carburetor (still adjusting on it for best idle, been a challenge but engine runs really well and has plenty of power), brand new German bus exhaust, all new Bosch tune up equipment, freshly adjusted valves and fresh oil. The clutch and transmission operate as intended with NO popping out of any gear. The fuel tank was removed, flushed and sealed and the fuel guage sending unit repaired and the bus now has a working fuel guage. The brakes work very well with a firm pedal and decent stopping power for drum brakes. On the inside the bus sports its ORIGINAL seating surfaces throughout and they are in good shape with a few tears in the rear Z bed cushions. The interior smell is priceless and can only be obtained by the passing of the years having its effect on the VW materials. As for rust issues, this bus comes from the Eastern part of the State of Washington, Walla Walla, and as such rust is almost a non issue at all. The battery tray does have corrosion but not where the tray meets the body and tray supports the battery fine. The rockers appear good and so does the front floors and cargo floor is solid as well. There is a tiny, emphasis on tiny, bit of rust at the front of the front wheel wells and they have been arrested with POR15 to prevent further progression. There was rust under the windshield, very common. Windshield has been replaced and the corroded metal replaced with stainless steel and all treated with POR15 as well, Should be good for another 45 years. Previous owner had the bus painted and while the bus looks good it appears to be an amateur job with paint and body work but it does the job. The suspension on the bus is decent shape and the bus does not steer like a boat. Tires on the bus are ok but are passenger car tires and not the 8 ply tires it should have. I have 4 brand new shock absorbers for the bus, many many rubber seals, New CV joint kits and several miscellaneous parts I will include with the sale. Unlike most all camper buses available, this one sports the RV tag issued by the State of Washington and not California. California was the primary market intended for the Westy's and the Riviera's back in the day. This one is a true Pacific Northwest bus and it shows. What I do know the bus needs: Repair needs to be made to the accelerator pedal under the bus. Currently I have it working and it is reliable but it should be done in the future. CV joints need new boots and grease and new boots/grease are included with the bus. A bit more tuning on the carburetor would improve its idle quality (its not that bad now). When the windshield was repaired the area of repair was painted white and paint does not match exactly but my plan was to return the bus to its original beige color. The slider camping windows need restoration but are intact and open and close fine. Truly, this bus does not need much. I would be comfortable driving the bus anywhere. I drove the bus on 630 mile round trip down the Oregon Coast and encountered no problems unless you consider tons of attention a problem!
