Update – This school Samba sold for an impressive $32,000! Hopefully, the new owner will get in touch with us.
This 21-window VW Bus here on eBay is one of the best conversions I’ve seen of the popular 60s people-hauler. This VW was ordered new by the Alfred I. Dupont school district in Delaware to serve as a school bus, quickly being repainted to the classic shade of yellow synonymous with hauling kids and their lunch boxes back and forth to campus. What’s amazing to me is that even after being retired – and sold to a private owner – the bus retains its original, VW-stamped glass and folding canvas roof. The school bus equipment, like the flashing lights on the roof, are still in place, along with the faded remnants of the school lettering. Although the original color combination sounds stunning, I don’t think this Bus should be repainted. If anything, the lettering should be restored and it should remain what is clearly the coolest school bus in town. Bidding is already over $20K and I have little doubt it will creep higher in the days ahead. Thanks to Charles H. for this awesome find!
