We are pleased to offer this running and driving 1963 23 Window VW Bus for sale. Can you imagine the attention this bus gets pulling into a VW show?? Nearly everyone who knows what a 23 Window Bus is has fallen in love with them, yet most people have never even had the chance to see one in person! These are a rare breed, and finding a running and driving one for under $50k is nearly unheard of.

New life was recently breathed into this bus by a fellow VW enthusiast. The bus now starts, runs, shifts, drives and stops well. Here is a list of the work done to get this classic 23 Window Bus back on the road:

This is an original 23 window bus wearing the factory original colors of Sealing Wax Red / Beige Grey. This bus was built on August 7th, 1962 making it one of the first buses made for the 1963 model year (VW started the next year models in August). The VIN is 993574 and the "M plate" behind the front seat shows the following options:

This bus could be enjoyed as is, though it would benefit from a complete restoration. If you did a complete restoration you would have something of enormous value in the end. The bottom color was repainted once a very long time ago with the good original paint underneath. The frame rails are solid. The front 2/3 1/3 front seat is still with the bus. This bus has never been welded on so you don't have to undo any previous back yard mechanic's poor work. This bus has never been in a major accident and the sides and nose and rear are a great basis for a very straight bus.

Just recently have I had the pleasure to list two other 23 Window Buses for sale. It took me 7 years of specializing in VW Buses before I even found ONE 23 window VW Bus to put up for sale. They are a rare find and they don't last long on the market. Restored examples regularly bring well over $140k with one 1963 selling for $217,800 in 2011! If you have always wanted one of these skylight and sunroof buses, this may be your best shot at getting one.
