My '77 microbus deluxe has push button ignition. Is this a modification? The car is otherwise pretty much fully original but I can't imagine this would be an original feature... does anyone know?

No its not origional.. Usaually installed when the ignition switch fails.

The switch innards are proberly cheaper than installing a push button.
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

Hmmmm I've been thinking of installing one of these, ever since the new Falcon GT came out with the push button - it looks so cool ... mmmMMmmm some brushed aluminum buttons along the dash may just be the trick ... hmmm

No it's a yellow and white bus with a black button.

It works well though. Never had a problemo with it. Looks kinda cool but I'd prefer if it to be fully original. Might change it back one day...

the lower section of the ignition switch is only about $40.00 and 2 screw drivers to install it.

My push button, with mounting plate, cost me about $7 😀

No, its not in my current kombi. I fitted it to my previous bus when the ignition switch failed. For $40 I probably would have bought the correct switch, but I was quoted over double that... :puke
