About This Bus

If you’re looking for an ordinary vehicle, this giveaway isn’t for you. Our 1971 VW Bus is a one-of-a-kind project built with passion. Purchased from a gentleman in Vista, CA—it looked and ran okay, but with help, we set it over the top. The bus was missing its original wood paneling and cabinetry, so I brought it to Chris Eiland at SoCal Build & Design. He masterfully crafted the woodwork, sticking to the original shapes and style but with an elevated vibe using high end baltic birch.

 

For the upholstery, I went straight to my buddy Nacho, who’s been cooking up custom interiors since the 1980s, he helped me choose the patterns and colors and after some playful negotiations, we sealed the deal with a coin toss—I called heads and won!

 

Next, I turned to my friend Armando, the hardest-working paint and body man I know. He did a color sand and buff to bring out the shine and added a fresh coat of paint to the rims before we wrapped them in brand new tires. Lastly, I hit my local VW guru, Danny D, who’s been building and servicing Volkswagen’s for over 40 years. He handled a full tune-up in what seemed like minutes including an oil change, new spark plugs, rebuilding the carburetor and adjusting the valves, ensuring our lucky winner drives away worry-free.

 

Thanks to these gentlemen, this bus looks better than ever and is ready for another 53 years of good times. This giveaway is special: our brand gains exposure, customers get a chance to win this vintage gem, and I get to support my friends' businesses. Pick up one of our bestselling Camp Lamps or a T-shirt, and come Christmas morning, this bus could be yours!

The interior is brand new, with flooring, cabinetry and upholstery completed in September of 2024. The exterior is finished in Clementine Orange and received a fresh coat in early 2024 which has been turning heads ever since.
