1967 13-Window Deluxe Split Window Bus
Well, I've been searching for a solid '67 Deluxe to
restore for many years. I finally came across this '67 split window deluxe
worthy of restoring in October, 2005. It is a 9-Passenger
(non-walkthrough) originally from Texas and New Mexico it has a very solid body.
Where most busses this age have plenty of rust in the rockers, doglegs, cargo
floor, and wheelwells, this one has all the original sheet metal still in tact.
A very solid bus! Originally Lotus White over Lotus White these solid
color deluxe are somewhat rare. I've always wanted a Red/White bus and
will more than likely go with Titan Red and Beige Grey (colors used in '67).
Still giving the color some thought, however.
I plan on giving this bus a full and complete restoration. Mechanically it
is already quite sound. The motor is a recent rebuild and is a Dual Port
1704cc coupled to a newly rebuilt "Freeway Flyer" transaxle. 1967's came
from the factory 12-Volt (the only year this was a standard feature for split
window busses)
It's the very last year of the split-windows
and I can't wait to share my progress as the restoration moves along. For
now, here are some pictures as purchased:
