Cars is pleased to offer yet another type 2 VW bus, a 1973
Volkswagen Bus Type 2. This is a Westfalia "tin-top" that spent
several years in California before being treated to a refresh in
2018 that includes a new two-tone paint, custom marine vinyl
upholstery, insulation and more. What makes the bus unique is its
upgraded 2.0L Porsche power plant with dual Weber 40 IDF
carburetors from a Porsche 912! Dressed in white and a 1972 color,
Niagara Blue, this Tin Top's paint and trim are in overall
excellent condition. The van's windshield is newer while the rest
of the glass panels are in good condition, including the rear
window. Other new bits include a wiper motor, wiper arms, a front
emblem, headlight trim, sideview mirrors and rear side marker
lights. The van's lights, including its Hella headlights, look
great and the bodywork is in excellent condition. This loaf rolls
on white, vented steel wheels topped by new chrome caps and Hankook
Vantura LT radials, size 185R14 at all four corners. The van's
brakes are front disc/rear drum and were rebuilt earlier this year.
Out back is a 2.0L flat four-cylinder engine from a Porsche 914
that previous owner states was refreshed with head work, valves,
springs and related gaskets. The car has two, rebuilt Weber 40 IDF
carburetors a new, stainless steel exhaust system and a new
electric fuel pump. Backing up the motor is a four-speed manual
transmission. Inside, there is new, custom upholstery in blue and
white vinyl marine-grade vinyl over Dynamat insulation in front and
simulated wood vinyl flooring in back. The seats are in overall
great condition but there is a small blemish on the driver's seat.
The two-spoke steering wheel is in satisfactory order, as is the
floor-mounted shifter with its extension and a wooden knob. The
horn and temperature gauge are inoperable. The inner door panels,
which have new window cranks, and the dashboard, with its VDO
gauges are in similar shape. New quarter round and custom kick
panels have been put in. There is a rear-facing seat, jump seat,
table and bench seat are in the passenger compartment, with the
bench seat folding flat into a bed. Rounding out the interior is a
custom Kenwood sound system with a touchscreen with backup camera
and speakers. For the 1973 model year, exterior revisions included
relocated front turn indicators, squared off and set higher in the
valance, above the headlights. Also, square-profiled bumpers, which
became standard until the end of the T2 in 1979, were introduced in
1973. Crash safety improved with this change because of a
compressible structure behind the front bumper. This meant that the
T2 was capable of meeting US safety standards for passenger cars of
the time, though not required of vans. The "VW" emblem on the front
valance became slightly smaller. Competition to this VW Bus in 1973
included Chevrolet's G10 Van, Dodge's B-Series Ram Van, Ford's
Econoline Van and GMC's VanDura. VIN: 2232215726 Westfalia-Werke
