This 1961 Volkswagen Type 2 11-Window Bus was built in November 1960, and delivered to Miller Motors in Steubenville, Ohio. Its original owner drove the car until 1968, at which point it was stored due to transmission failure.

Only in 1994 did an astute Volkswagen enthusiast rediscover the Bus, finding the car to be well-preserved after decades of storage. After bringing the Bus back to working order, the new owner commissioned an extensive reconditioning with an emphasis on originality. It was repainted in its original color scheme of Mango Green and Seagull Grey, while the interior required less attention, and the dash and floors retained their original paint, upholstery, and switchgear. Several wins on the AACA circuit corroborate the quality of this reconditioning.

The car retains its original, matching-numbers engine, noted for its untouched engine case as a symbol of its authenticity. Additionally, this 11-Window Bus is accompanied by its Volkswagen Zertifikat, periodicals featuring the car, original sales literature, purchase documentation from Miller Motors, awards, and relevant memorabilia. Furthermore, the car retains its original tool roll, jack, owner’s manual, and spare key. Showing under 30,000 miles, this example is heralded by those well-versed in the marque as one of the finest extant Volkswagen Buses. An excellent and highly original example of an iconic automobile, a discerning collector will appreciate this 11-Window Bus for years to come.
