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.

My 1975 Fleetline. The Fleetline were sold in South Africa in 1975 alongside the bay window busses. The Fleetlines were imported as SKDs from Brazil in 1975, so this is one of the youngest splitties in the world.

Here is a good example of the fugly Brazilian baysplit hybrid assembled by VWSA from 1976-78. It was a budget model sold alongside German bays, and it replaced the 1975 Fleetline (throwback splittie) as VWSA's budget Type2.

Here is a pair of Autovillas. The one with the roof extension over the cab is a later model. The Jurgens Autovilla was built by a South African caravan builder on a hacked down bay-window walkthru panelvan. They made about 1000 of these between about 1973-77. They were approved by VWSA and were sold new from VW dealer showrooms. Karmann also built a licensed version of the design with LHD for Europe.

This is a nice 1975 Fleetline pick-up that's for sale for ZAR49,000 at my local ACVW shop. It originally had a wide load deck. Fleetlines were made in South Africa in 1975, one year only. They were locally assembled from Brazilian SKD or CKD kits in three versions: 15-window Kombis, panelvans and wide-bodied pick-ups like this one. Probably the last splitties built anywhere in the world.

07/29/04 Jean Viljoen ZAR49000 = US$8200, roughly, depending on our exchange rate

This is a scruffy but mostly complete 1975 Fleetline wide-body pick-up. Fleetlines were made in South Africa in 1975, one year only. They were locally assembled from Brazilian SKD or CKD kits in three versions: 15-window Kombis, panelvans and wide-bodied pick-ups like this one. Probably the last splitties built anywhere in the world.

The Shaggin Wagon is one of a kind. She was bought, repaired by a local oldies station in Raleigh, NC. If you know what the dance is the Shag...well, say no more. If not, you should learn to Shag just for owning a bus. Have a real nice day! Fixing, (of course that's southern), I thank him everyday, to take off on a long road trip..just me and my best traveling partner, my dog. Right now I am a-little perturbed at her. She only does what she wants. Can't figure out where she became this way from.

This unit was given to me by a family member. When he gave it to me he hoped that I would install it in my 65 Bus, but I have decided to keep it for a later project. From what I have heard, this is a rare piece to have in new condition. Here's the details: It is a "Be Cool" air conditioner. The unit is complete and still in the original box as shown in the pictures. I have all of the paperwork for it including window stickers and a new sticker for the inside of the glove box to update the GVW. The paperwork include templates for cutting sheetmetal and full installation instructions. As I said, this unit is complete. I am quite a bit curious as to see if anyone has any other information about it or if anyone could estimate it's value.

I was fortunate enough to come across several original one-of-a-kind, never reproduced photos of dealerships on the West Coast. These photos were from the estate of Sam Weill the VP of Competition Motors, the west coast distributor in the 50's and 60's and the largest dealer on the west coast. There were many different VW dealerships that Competition Motors supplied and they had photos of most of them. I have posted on this page most of the photos that have Busses in them. Questions or comments? Feel free to email me. If you have a story about any of these dealships or if you have any other information regarding them, PLEASE email me at tgrim@hotmail.com

12/11/04 Becca I'd just like to know what it is with u guys and ur big thing with making sure everyone knows that ur 'only 14'. Apparently that's like oh so totally amazing and we're supposed 2 drop everything and praise u 4 ur 'fab' bus selecta pics....get over it! I'm a 14 y/o chick, do u see me adding little bits like, 'ohhh I'm a little innocent girl, everyone please be nice to me!!' cuz that's what the hell ur doing! Maybe if u could spell words correctly we'd give u a bit of that "recpect" (?wha?) ur looking for. And I quote u - "im only 14 so dont swear
"....if u reckon ur too young 2 be hearing the stuff on this site, don't come back & keep pissing them off. And surely, at 14 u've definetly got ur own little thesurus of curses, what 14 y/o doesn't?
