1960 Double Door Kombi, Original Dove Blue Paint, Company Logo from a Fire Extinguisher Service, and more!

Here we have yet another early, rare, interesting, and desirable survivor Bus which is a legend in the Southern California Bus community.
This is 1 of approximately 6 known bullet turn signaled Double Door Kombis known to exist in the World and potentially the only one left in its original paint. 

This ultra cool Kombi was discovered by a very well respected and missed Bus enthusiast in New Mexico back in the early 1990's.  He revived it after it had been parked for years and immediately made it his signature driver having taken it on adventures literally all over the United States.  Over the years this Bus has made several cross country trips and I believe the longest was from Los Angeles, California to Portsmouth, New Hampshire.  To say that it is a road warrior with tons of loving history is an understatement.  The Bus positively has a great vibe to it.
Its list of features includes original safari windows installed years ago by Charlie Hamill, all 3 seats including the correct, incredibly rare,  and uber valuable "double flipper" middle seat, original company logos from a dry chemical fire extinguisher service, original interior panels, nice original paint dash with radio block off plate still intact, bullet turn signals, glass taillights, small rear window, ice pick door handles, original 15" Bus wheels with Firestone 6.40 bias ply tires, freshly rebuilt 1600 single port engine, 12 volt conversion for reliability, early screw connector wiring harness, correct slash cut bumpers, and so much more.
The body is still in its original Dove Blue paint and is generally very straight.  This is a real deal true Double Door, not some homemade attempt in order to wow the afficianados, but a legitimate factory Double Door.  There are some light dents and dings as you'd expect with a 49 year old Bus without any "make up" on it.  The front floor will eventually need corner wedges at some point but it's been driven as it is for many years without much concern and could certainly continue to be enjoyed as it is.  The undercarriage and belly pans, yes, belly pans that all double door and sunroof Buses got at the factory, are all in very clean shape, solid, and still have factory undercoating on them.  The lower doglegs will also need some small patches eventually as well as a few other small spots down low. 
The interior is complete with everything, original pocketed door cards in nice shape, all 3 correct bench seats although they technically should have grey upholstery but look great in the current black scheme, nice original floor mats, very nice original dash, correct chrome ribbed cab door handles with the black bakelite escutcheons, etc.
Mechanically it would originally have had a 1200cc 40hp but that has been upgraded to a very nice running and freshly rebuilt stock 1600cc single port engine, converted to 12 volts for reliability, and has a stock reduction box transaxle.  The brakes were redone a few years back using all German parts as well.  The tires are Firestone 6.40-15 black wall bias plies on stock restored 15" Bus wheels with beautiful original grey painted commercial hubcaps with painted logos.  The Bus runs and drives great and keeps up with traffic very well.  I personally drove this Bus to 5 events during 2007 and received many compliments on it. 
Overall a great Bus with awesome patina, a great history, and fully turnkey and ready to enjoy.  $25,000

Please note this rare Double Door Kombi is located in San Diego, California.  Thanks!
