VintageBus.com Image Gallery - Rare Buses and Parts

Pix of rare cars, parts, and accessories. I tend to be fairly conservative as to what is considered "rare," as the term is very overused.

Probably only one of two rhd, double loading door, barn door panel van's in the world! At the moment it's in Kent in the UK, but I am negotiating a deal for a friend to buy it and restore it, also in the UK. Most of the parts need come with it! Very nice!!! Chassis number to follow.

07/28/02 Andy Nope, I doubt it was hippies. It may've been an airforce bus. I've got a pic of an early bay with a huge perspex dome & air-con unit that was used as a mobile air traffic controller here in Australia.
07/25/02   Or maybe some hippies hacked it up...
07/25/02 Rikki James You can't really see it from this pic, but this panel has a clear Perspex observation
dome on the roof, apparently it was used by the police for riot/crowed control, mad!

C ya........Rikki.

10/21/02 Derrick Hey, Paul Kellen, fuck you. I took that photo at a car show here in AZ. That is my friend's bus. It is NOT for sale, and you shouldn't steal photos from other vw websites and post them as so. Eat a dick.
10/10/02 busper Mike, this bus is from AZ, I knew her too, actually I think her boyfriend really owned but she drove it, it wound up in cali. They sold it a while back, she's got a single cab now......
10/10/02 little kid it wasnt me! you should learn how to spell
10/10/02   what you are seeing here is a semi-deluxe, this is a deluxe microbus with no sunroof. it cost $150 extra to get the hardtop version.hey that lilltle kis has my popcorn! back to you steve
10/10/02 Ferlin Husky Yeah, I know that chic, a real tiger with a set of bullets you wouldn't believe.
10/08/02 truckersmike This looks just like a bus that a girl I know used to drive. Did this bus come from Phoenix area?
10/08/02 Jeff Hey man, i have a proposition for you. you may be interested, maybe not, but i want to get this van from you one way or another. email me, and let me know if you still have it.peace love empathy

11/11/02 jarad Well, with Rusty included, I have found a total of 5 of these busses. I think Mike and Rusty are right. Especially after seeing Rusty's Pics, I think Sundial is the creator of this awesome camper. Thanks Rusty! More info is always welcome. Email Me or Rusty! Thanks!!
11/09/02 rusty I just got one of these with a partial interior and yes it does seem to be a Sundial conversion, all of the hinges and woodwork on the Sundial bed match the wood and hinges in the tops cabinets
07/24/02   Jarad, obviously you don't come around here much. You know that no one wanting to buy a bus, knows how to use the email. Just keep checking back here and you will see the interested parties. All typing in for you to contact them.
07/24/02 jarad This bus is for SALE!! Located in Austin, Tx. Email for info!
07/22/02 KRAIG HEY THE TOP APPEARS TO BE AN EARLY ADVENTURE-
WAGON CREATION. ADVENTUREWAGON WAS A NOR.CAL
CAMPER CONVERSION COMPANY.
THE INTERIOR WOULD TELL THE SOURCE OF PARTS USED FOR THECONVERSION. ALSO LOCATION OF ORIGINAL PURCHASE. NICE BUS GUS.
07/07/02 jarad It had some homemade interior that was ruined by the weather. it was not Sundial interior, but i guess it could have been at one point. So you think it's a sundial top?
07/07/02 Mike I believe the slang reference to these are "snowtop campers", there are a few around. Doesn't it have sundial interior?
