About

1976 Custom Volkswagen Minibus “Mystery Machine” – Fully Restored
📍 Located in San Antonio, TX – Delivery assistance available

This 1976 VW Bus is more than just a vintage vehicle—it’s a fully restored, road-ready classic built with heart, history, and attention to detail. Inspired by my grandfather’s love for VWs and brought back to life with my father over six months, this van has been completely transformed from a rusted shell into a vibrant, functional piece of automotive art. Originally found in Mexico, this van received a full mechanical and interior overhaul. We invested over $25,000 into making it safe, fun, and functional—blending nostalgia with reliability.
