BTW: I saw this on E-bay months ago.
While somebody restored it in Australia, it is not as good a restoration as one would hope.

Original Asking price was double of what it is now.
Although unique, it has not found a buyer yet.
Engine parts are fairly easy to come buy, as the engines were the same as the sedans (190/190D) with some modifications. Body parts are becoming sparse as well as brake and suspension.
The bus is about 8 and 1/2 feet tall and only allows about 5’8″ standing room inside.

These were built from 1955 through 1967 and by definition the VW might be the daddy, but it looks like “Sonny” has outgrown ‘Daddy’ and then some….
