Aircooled VW South Africa

Welcome Paladin.

As you've already heard, your bus is neither a Fleetline, a 54, nor a barndoor.

From your description it is a 64-67.

Post the VIN and I'll tell you exactly when it was built.

I know of only two pre-55 buses in SA, and one of them is a hack (in the VW museum) and the other is in storage. Real barndoor buses are rarer than split beetles.

I dont think its that recent, but i will have a look at the Vin. I wanna have the exact year model and the facts concerning the year model before i start buying expensive spares, so thanks for ur info, guys

Another 2 productive hours lost to the South African economy.

Everyone from Sasol to Altec to Standard bank had to pay the price for a simple statement:

"Hello, I have a 1954 Fleetline."

Off topic question---Do we get the Crewcab in SA? Are they rare or easy to come by? Is there a webpage with ppl selling there VW's?

Yip you get crew cabs in SA, I have a 1978 Bay crewcab made right here in good old RSA.

Check gumtree, junkmail and the offered section of this site for VW's forsale

Ya, but i want the Splitscreen, not the Baywindow...

Hey, I don't take smoke breaks!

Now you are heading for ...

By the way, my mate wants to sell his low mileage 72 early bay crew cab for R50K...

Contact me for details...

Yes, we had double cabs in SA. Earliest I have seen dated from 1959. They were offered in split, baywindow, and T3, and the new T5 bus is also offered in double cab format. In today's market, a crew cab is a panel van with a second row of seats for the work crew.

Hey I see that is an old decomissioned SADF Crew Cab, with the anti-tank missile launcher on the right?

(I do hope that launcher is de-activated??? )

I can never get a straight answer...its always someone chirping something... HAhahahahaha

Thanks Fig... Ill keep an eye out for one
