1954 Barndoor Panel

VW Bus for Sale, 1954 Barndoor Panel Bus

Price: SOLD

1954 Barndoor Panel Bus, Vintage Logos, an Original California Barndoor!
Nearly 4 decades of indoor hibernation, didn't move for the next 38 years until we purchased it in 2011. It has now been extensively revived, serviced, cleaned up, registered, and is now back on the road.

The lists of authenticity on this Bus is

1. Having original vintage cursive company logos which can be seen through the top layer of paint.
2. Having all of the proper Barndoor sheet metal with no clips, welding, or patches (besides the taillight holes which were previously enlarged).
3. A phenomenal original cargo floor, all of the original large logo SEKURIT glass with the exception of the windshields.
4. A great running 36hp engine, a very nice original Barndoor transaxle, bubble taillights (nice repros).

You can clearly see that there are original company logos as well as some other writing on the Bus. The body is in a very impressive and dry condition considering that it's never been restored and has now seen 58 years of life.
