Vehicle Description
Interesting, rare, and restored to detail, this 1962 Volkswagen
Type 2 Double Cab is the kind of machine that will generate ton of
interest wherever it goes.
These VW Type 2 trucks have the same cool appeal as the vans, but
are a far rarer sight in the USA. After all, the Chicken Tax cut
their life short on our side of the Atlantic. So we get
particularly excited when you can find one that was restored to a
high standard. The Bamboo Cream has a terrific shine from a modern
clear coat. Plus, we know you love the coordination over the whole
body. Like how the white bumpers match the whitewall tires, wheel
covers, and large VW logo leading the way. It also coordinates with
the cool white roof rack (the sale even comes with luggage for it!)
Those red wheels are a terrific complement to the red hand-painted
pinstripe that runs around. the whole truck. But as good as this
looks, we also love these for their versatility. Volkswagen was
quite clever at how to stack cargo, and that's why you can take
down any side of the bed for easy loading. Or, you can even fold
down all sides and turn your pickup into a flatbed transporter. So
something this distinctive, and also still so useful, is great for
everything from promoting a business to a support vehicle for you
other classics.
Just like the exterior, the interior remains quite faithful to the
original while making sure everything is in good order. With more
than just an interesting history, these were great for giving the
driver a commanding view of the road. The large factory two-spoke
steering wheel, single VDO gauge, and easy to reach gearshift
should feel a bit familiar to Beetle fans. This is a rare double
cab pickup, which means you get the added utility to use for
everything from secure storage, to taking extra family and friends
along for the ride.
You're looking at an air cooled, horizontally opposed OHV
4-cylinder engine . That's a larger displacement than what was
available in '62, but it's hard to visually tell the difference on
a VW. So you get a great upgrade to extra power without losing any
of the classic Volkswagen spirit that this one really showcases.
Remember, this is the same flat-four that brought the Beetle its
global reputation for being tough-as-nails. So to have it in a
pickup only adds to its utility - that's why the rest of the world
has used these for everything from farm vehicles to medical
transport. The motor has been under good maintenance, so it fires
up easily and runs nicely. Plus, it's linked to the sturdy and
versatile four-speed manual transmission, which allows you to get
the most out of the motor. It's an unbeatable package that provides
reliability and fun driving. While you're checking out this rare
double cab, don't forget to look at the undercarriage photos. They
are a true sign to how thorough the three-year restoration was.
Complete with owner's manual and title documentation, you know
these don't come up for sale too often in the USA, especially at
this high level of presentation. So if you were looking for the
ultimate attention-grabber at any VW event or just parked outside
your business, you need to hurry to get this one. Call now!
