The Volkswagen Kombi van reached iconic status, with even a school lunch box fashioned in its image. During those early years, the Volkswagen Microbus morphed into various forms.

Classic Car Overview
I bought this car back in 1997 with 98,993 miles on it and am the second owner. The original engine had a spun rod bearing, so I replaced it with an MGOC (MG Owners Club) professionally built Stage II engine (see images for engine rebuild details). Current mileage is 6,702, so the MGOC engine only has 7,709 miles on it. Its a 4 speed with overdrive. The engine had recent tune-up with the valves being adjusted, new plugs and carbs syncd and the oil changed. The body is very nice and straight with zero rust anywhere. Semi-completely restored (not on a rotisserie). Everything has been gone through. The underside was completely undercoated. Front suspension rebuilt with polyurethane bushings; cross member was powdered-coated. It was re-painted in 2002 with black rally stripe down the driver center, which accents the body style perfectly and has always been garage kept. It has Mazda Miata seats reupholstered in black with red inserts to match the car. Have original purchase order from San Jose British Motors Cars (and 2 folders of receipts since it was bought). The MGB is located in Tucson, Az. Asking price is negotiable.
