1957 standard microbus model 221
virtually all original and virtually complete
purchased in 2003 from the estate of the original owner who died in 2001.
original title from 1957, all service reciepts
always garaged, no rust, 70,005 original miles, no collisions

 OK everyone, here is my Noble/Mayes list of parts needed for a bus. ; )

 These parts are for a june 1957 standard microbus that is perhaps the nicest unrestored original sand green/palm
 green bus in the world. (if there is another nicer one, I would sure like to see it.) I can pay the right price for the
 right parts. I also have many NOS boxed accessories and other rare parts that to trade. I'm pretty sure that these
 are the only parts needed to complete the stock correctness of this 70,005 mile bus. 

 NEED:
 NOS or good used fulda 640-15 tires (need 4, will take less or more)
 NOS or good used delog drives side windshield (have Sigla to trade if necessary)
 NOS VW thin arm wiper blades (have NOS VW and SWF wide arm blades to trade)
 NOS license plate light lens seal 211 943 131a (flat lid) 
 NOS taillight seals (dollar lenses)
 very good used early hubcaps with black painted logo (2) and/or 
 NOS hubcaps (5) (with or without painted logo must be perf. NOS)
 NOS or good used 6V coil (with yellow sticker and screw on terminals).
 NOS manifold
 NOS 180mm clutch disc
 NOS engine lid seal
 Atlas Motors owners manual folder (blue plastic style)
 Atlas Motors (san francisco) license plate frame (1 or 2) 
 NOS or very good used 36hp bus muffler
 NOS witte key blanks (2) 
 NOS drivers side windshield rubber 
 Varta 6 volt battery (I think I saw either new or reconditioned ones at the Porsche toy and lit show a couple years
 ago. Anyone know where I could find one?)
