No hubcaps? That pretty much makes it worthless.
I had 800+ hours into mine before it looked that good.

The hubcaps were removed by the PO and stored inside the bus...

After all that info, what was MSRP? Way back in 1966.
Never asked for a motorcycle...

Super happy for you Brandon! First order of business though is to install a power outlet to charge your I Phone! Then you can get after the drive train and brakes etc!

Probably right around what he paid for it used.
Re: 1966 13 Window Deluxe
I'm pretty sure MSRP was way less than he paid, probably less than half. I'm guessing mid two's back then.
I can't believe how long this thread is, and he hasn't even worked on the bus yet!
Edit:
This site shows a '66 Deluxe costing $2317.50 FOB Hannover, Germany.

Not many options available, but AM was $74 and AM/FM was $127, which is crazy money for that time, probably a month's pay for some!
