Vehicle Description
An enduring icon on the outside and a custom comfy cabin on the
inside - this 1972 Volkswagen Bus has been customized with all the
right comforts to be the counter-culture classic you've dreamed
about. And it's available today at an exceptional price.
You've seen how much the market loves the VW Type 2 (AKA, Bus). So
when you see the affordable price, you think that all you're doing
is buying nostalgia. But as you dig deeper, you find this is a
turn-key ready machine that has so much to offer. The two-tone
light olive green and white is the kind of color you'd expect from
the factory in the '60s, but it has the telltale clearcoat luster
of a more modern application. VW would call these station wagons,
but the distinctive shape earned these a "breadvan" nickname for
how they maximized every inch of the wheelbase. It gives them the
space to be great travelers, and so you even see that with all the
destination stickers in the windows.
The driver gets all the right comforts with a tan bucket seat,
large steering wheel, and a gearshift within easy reach. There's
even a nice AM/FM/CD stereo upgrade. But the true luxuries are all
behind this. The rear portion has been fitted with a parquet floor,
a pop-up table, and forward & aft lounge-style seating. If that
seems like a very home-like space, then you'll appreciate the
window curtains and vent windows that make this a nice place to
spend some time even when the van is parked.
The engine is Volkswagen's famous flat-four unit. While you already
know how virtually bulletproof that powerplant is, you'll love to
know this 1700cc unit was given a tune-up in 2014. Plus, there have
been other great investments in keeping this one solid on the road,
including a new fuel sender, steering box, and a full front end
service (ball joints, sway bar mounts, torsion leaves.) The
four-speed manual transmission has a crisp action that allows you
to take full control of the motor, and stopping is even well
in-hand thanks to a front disc brake upgrade.
Oh the places you will go... but only if you're the first to grab
this deal. These don't stay long in our showrooms, so call
today!
