21-WINDOW 1966 VOLKSWAGEN TYPE 2 BUS

OVERVIEW

This 1966 Volkswagen Type 2 21-window Sunroof Deluxe has been driven 26 miles since undergoing a complete rotisserie restoration and is powered by a rebuilt 1,600cc flat-four mated to a rebuilt four-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes a sliding fabric sunroof, new whitewall tires, a refurbished suspension, and new brakes. Finished in two-tone turquoise and pearl white over a green and turquoise vinyl interior, this 21-window Bus is now offered by the selling dealer with a clear California title.

According to the selling dealer, the restoration process incorporated restored, rebuilt, or OEM (original equipment manufacturer) replacement parts. The body was refinished in turquoise and pearl white. Features include a VW emblem on the nose, a replacement safari-style two-piece front window, new window rubber, white bumpers with overriders, a sliding fabric sunroof, and barn-style doors on the passenger side for entry into the rear of the cabin. The selling dealer reports 80 percent of the windows are new. They have provided photos of the body undergoing restoration in the gallery to the right.

Powder-coated 14-inch steel wheels with VW-branded chrome dog dish center caps are wrapped in new 195/75 Travelstar whitewall tires.
