Vehicle Description
First introduced in 1950, the Volkswagen T1 was a large, rear
engined, rear wheel drive van that was characterized by its split
front windshield. Available with a few different engines and always
receiving factory updates, the T1 was extremely popular and was
even produced in export countries until 1975. Known colloquially as
Bus, Transporter, Microbus, Split Screen, Splitie and Samba, the T1
is one of the most well loved Volkswagens of all time.
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this unique VW Bus for your
consideration. A unique vehicle, this Bus started out as a
Brazilian made bus but was fully converted to look and feel like an
earlier split window model. Fitted with the usual 1.7L engine that
claims to have been rebuilt and is mated to a 4-speed manual, this
is a solid running and driving vehicle. IT has and oil cooler and
temp sensor to prevent overheating and the engine and brakes have
less than 1k miles on them. Commissioned by a local brewery as a
promotional vehicle, this Bus was enjoyed for over 4 years. Very
nice feature includes a high powered A/C system that keeps the
passengers cool during any commute or adventure. The bus has a new
black and white paint job that is absolutely stunning and is
accented by factory hubcaps with white wall tires, mud flaps, dual
roof racks, and an awning. The interior features custom matching
black and white vinyl that is professionally done. The seats and
doors and roof are all excellent and the custom wood cabinets are
well made. There is fold down seating in the rear, as well as a
large table, flat screen TV, and custom stereo with subwoofer and
surround sound. The windows slide and a large sliding canvas top is
a great conversation piece as well. Small details are not
overlooked such as the stainless exhaust and window surrounds and
custom engraved steering wheel and pedals.
If you are looking for a well sorted T1 split window conversion to
use as a promotional piece or as a personal vehicle, this is the
bus for you!
