Vehicle Description
This 1963 Volkswagen 23-window bus strikes a lovely balance between
old-world charm and modern-day equipment. Presented in a
traditional two-tone yellow and white color combination, this
23-window bus rolls on 17" Budnik wheels and an adjustable
suspension system. Powered by a twin-carburetor 120hp horizontally
opposed 2110cc 4-cylinder engine with a Freeway Flyer 4-speed
manual transmission. The power is kept in check with 4-wheel disc
brakes. Equipped with Safari front and rear windows and a
vintage-style roof rack, this bus is fitted with a TMI interior of
tan, white and light brown complementing and offsetting the
exterior color scheme. This bus is packed with the subtle custom
touches inside and out. Officially known as the Samba, or Sunroof
Deluxe, these 23-window vans were first introduced in 1951 and
marketed as the plushest people mover available from Volkswagen.
They featured pivoting side doors as opposed to the sliding unit, a
fabric sunroof and, of course, all of the windows providing a
panoramic view.
