OVERVIEW
This 1974 Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi underwent a restoration and a 23-window conversion in 2021 after being imported into the U.S. from Brazil. It is powered by an air-cooled 1,300cc flat-four engine mated to a four-speed manual transmission. Features include Alpine roof windows, pop-out side windows, pop-out safari-style windshields, dual wood-slat roof racks, and a sliding vinyl roof panel. Finished in maroon and white over a gray and white vinyl interior, this Type 2 comes from the selling dealer with a tool roll and a clear title.
EXTERIOR – FEATURES
As part of the restoration by Overland Imports of Atlanta, Georgia, the exterior was given a 23-window conversion and refinished in maroon and white. Features include white bumpers, dual mirrors, pop-out side windows, a pair of wood-slat roof racks, a sliding vinyl roof panel, pop-out safari-style windshields, and passenger-side barn doors. A walk-around video can be seen below.
EXTERIOR - WHEELS AND TIRES
A set of 14-inch white steel wheels with chrome hub caps is wrapped in new whitewall radial tires equipped with portawall whitewalls.
INTERIOR – FEATURES
The split front bench seat, folding middle seat, rear seat, trim, and door panels are upholstered in gray and white vinyl. Features include manual steering and brakes, a floor-mounted manual transmission shifter, and a radio block-off plate.
INTERIOR – GAUGES
A 120-kph speedometer and a fuel gauge are located ahead of the driver. The odometer reads 11,278 kilometers, but the true kilometrage on this vehicle is unknown.
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
Power is provided by an air-cooled 1,300cc flat-four engine mated to a four-speed manual transaxle.
UNDERCARRIAGE
This Type 2 was factory-equipped with a fully independent suspension and a rear drive axle. Braking is provided by four-wheel manual drums.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS
A tool roll will be included with the purchase of the vehicle.
so far this build is a very good deal considering the work and man hours of this restoration. We typically are selling these builds for double this level or more. Good luck in the last minutes.
Last 30 minutes and just wanted to check that everyone has all their questions and comments asked and answered. Can’t wait to send this off to the new owner and see them enjoy this bus with the front safari windows open, full sunroof open and cruising through their town or down a beach road. Always a classic and always a head turner. Thanks everyone.

@Jsroley this was originally a 15 window bus that had the skylights added to the roof as well as the sunroof opening cut in for the rag top canvas sunroof to be installed.
@Funzs66 to clarify the last portion of the answer to your question. All rust areas were taken care of during restoration. It seemed that the answer was not so clear.
So did you make this a 23 window from another type or body?
@Funzs66 – What’s history on engine and trans. Is it leak free. Compressions. Any rust repairs during resto. ...
@Funzs66 Engine and transmission were overhauled. No compression checks out. No boxer motor is completely leak free as the two halves of the motor do tend to contract and expand with temperature changes; however, we have gone through and made sure that all seals and gaskets are new and in place. The car has had the valve cover gaskets replaced with new cork ones to avoid the usual leaks there too and a fresh oil change was done. As far as rust repairs, the rust in Brazil is minimal but there are the usual parts that need to be replaced like some floor areas.
