1967 Volkswagen Type 2 Bus

Description

This 1967 Volkswagen Type 2 has the cool look of a first-gen Bus, an even cooler custom interior, and a hot Porsche motor. It's all part of a professional build that happened during long-term ownership. So as you look through the details you are going to find the right quality and thoughtfulness to be a true distinct driver.

These first-gen Type 2s really gave us something special. The curved front end, pop-out dual windshield, and artistic wraparound body crease that comes to a powerful point right at the front center. So these are true classics with truly classic style. But the reason why you love this one is not that it's a great vintage machine, but instead, it's unmistakably a custom cruiser. Black and gold is a timeless color combo and the glossy duo highlights all those awesome lines that were just mentioned. Black bumpers, deleted trim, and quad exhaust tips give this plenty of attitude even before you notice the lowered stance. And we love the look of the classic EMPI-style gas burner wheels with the black center and Porsche caps that hint at what's really powering this van.

The interior shows off more of this thoughtful and well-planned style. After all, the gold streak sewn into the custom black side panels mimics the exterior color theme. And we love the premium look of the seats with a diamond stitch pattern and gold piping. The front has comfy carpeting like you want in a van, but the rear floor is done in vinyl flooring like a modern living room. In fact, those facing rear seats make this VW quite sociable. So what we like best about the interior is the way it was made to be quite useful. There are the classic pieces like the large opening from the double doors and how all those windows let in a ton of light. Plus there are the right modern upgrades like an AM/FM stereo with Bluetooth and provisions for air conditioning (it will need servicing.) The driver is even upgraded with a sports steering wheel on a tilt column - a rarely-seen but quite welcomed feature on these upright Type 2s.

The rear has the expected air-cooled flat-four. But what's different here is that we're told this is a 1776cc Porsche powerhouse. It's a dual-carb set up that delivers extra power while still retaining the spirit and resilience of the Beetle motor. The motor fires up easily, runs nicely, and the four-speed shifts smoothly. So it makes for an eager driver. As you look underneath, you'll see a clean style with upgrades like Wagons West front end and a reinforced frame plate to make this feel more confident on the road. And with the lowered suspension, electric power steering, wide modern tires, and upgraded four-wheel disc brakes, this is much more of a driver's Bus than you have ever likely experienced before.

This is a cool custom Type 2 with a driver-ready style and driver-ready features. So if you're looking for one of the coolest driver classics around, it will be hard to beat this custom VW Bus. Call today!!!
