Vehicle Description
A turn-key classic camper with all the best features, and it's all
offered at an affordable price. So this 1970 Volkswagen Type 2
Camper is that perfect vehicle for those who crave adventure to go
with their classic car ownership.
The Type 2 (the original Beetle was the Type 1) used to be a symbol
of the counter culture, and it only gets better when you can get
away from society and camp out under the stars. The orange is a
slightly bolder respray of the original color, so you get a
period-correct feeling, but with a better shine for those times
when you're showing off. It goes great with the white trim on the
bumpers, wheels, and cover over the full-size front spare tire.
And nothing says the 1970s better than this orange plaid pattern
used for the interior. It's a great uniform presentation that you
see throughout the van. And with the peace-style curtains and plush
carpeting, this truly feels like your retro home away from home.
The driver gets all the right comforts with a bucket seat that has
a commanding view of the road. Plus, there's a large steering
wheel, a gearshift within easy reach, and a nice upgraded AM/FM/CD
stereo for entertainment. The rear portion has been fitted with all
the right camping comforts such as a dual burner stove, mini
fridge, collapsible table, and sink. When it comes time for
sleeping, not only do you have a sofa bed in the cabin, but also
the iconic pop-up roof for comfortable camping. It's an amazing
setup that we know has you thinking about how to use it for
everything from campgrounds to the next car show.
This second-generation Bus comes with plenty of engineering
improvements. First of all, the 1700cc motor is more powerful than
anything available in the first generation. Plus, VW flat four
motor is one of the most economical and robust powerplants to
maintain and improve. That's why this well-kept example fires up
nicely and runs strong. Plus, those who enjoy a fun weekend
project, there are a lot of companies devoted to offering
inexpensive upgrades that can quickly be installed without needing
a huge toolbox. In fact, getting the most power from this motor is
part of Bus ownership culture. Of course, one of the easiest ways
to get the best engine performance in these vans is to master the
power band of the four-speed manual transmission. Another reason
why the second-generation Type 2s are desirable is because the
suspension was also greatly improved. The original vans utilized a
modified Beetle setup, but a second-generation Bus was built to
better handle the unique weight and height of the vans. Add in
front disc brakes and Toyo tires, and you'll happily cruise this
classic camping machine.
This is the classic that can do it all - get you there, give you
something to show off, and then give you home-like comfort in the
evenings. It's amazing you can get this total package for such an
affordable price. Don't miss this deal, call today!
