This 1970 Volkswagen Type 2 23 Window Samba Re-Creation is a South American-built masterpiece, showcasing the iconic design that made these buses legendary. The two-tone paint job, featuring a vibrant red paired with crisp white, creates a striking visual impact. The 23 windows, a hallmark of the Samba model, are tinted for privacy and comfort, except for the clear front windshield. A white vinyl sliding sunroof adds an extra touch of open-air freedom. The front windshield, split into two .....
sections, opens for added ventilation. White bumpers and wheel caps contrast beautifully against the painted steel 15" wheels, wrapped in 175/65R15 tires. A removable roof rack crowns this classic, while dual mirrors and a front antenna complete the exterior package.
The interior of this Type 2 is a stylish blend of black and white, mirroring the exterior's two-tone theme. Two-tone vinyl seats provide comfortable seating, with a bench in the rear and a 60/40 split in the front. The center row features a fold-down mechanism for easy access to the rear. Shoulder belts are present for the front outer passengers. The headliner and door panels throughout the vehicle maintain the vehicle's classic appeal. Vinyl floors run throughout the bus. When the sliding roof is open, a smoke-colored wind deflector can be deployed. The front compartment is straightforward and functional, featuring a retro-style radio with two speakers, added cupholders, and a practical shelf. The stock steering wheel and gauges maintain the original feel, while a VDO clock on the dash keeps accurate time. A fire extinguisher behind the driver's seat adds a safety touch, and a whimsical Hawaiian girl figurine on the dash brings a touch of fun to the interior.
Powering this classic is a 1776cc engine, installed in 2022 with less than 200 miles on the clock. The powerplant, sourced from Circo Performance, breathes through an Empi single-barrel carburetor and an aftermarket air cleaner. A Bosch distributor manages the ignition, while a dual-into-single exhaust system provides a satisfying note. The engine bay is clean and well-organized, showcasing the care given to this bus. Power is transmitted through a 4-speed manual transmission, offering an engaging driving experience. The suspension system features independent setups front and rear, providing a balanced ride. Braking is handled by front disc brakes and rear drums, a combination that offers reliable stopping power for this vintage vehicle.
