For Sale: 1977 Volkswagen Type 2 in Mesa, Arizona

This 1977 Volkswagen Type 2 is from one of the last years this icon was offered in the USA. That means a fresher classic that has some desirable features like the largest engine offered. So when you combine that with cool color combo inside and out, this is a great way to enjoy the legendary VW Bus.


You don't need a mural on the side of your VW van to stand out in a crowd, and this one showcases that perfectly. The green is a radiant color that will draw extra attention, but it also doesn't look out of place on these Type 2s that have a cheery disposition. Plus, the white upper portion coordinates with the bumpers and wheels for a nice-looking two-tone. The attraction with this one also comes from a look of quality. Good sheetmetal, pliable weather stripping, and bright trim deliver a total package that showcases value.


Inside, the white takes over as the dominate color on the seats, door panels, and headliner. The exterior green returns for a splash of vibrancy on the steering wheel and cool skull shifter knob. Best of all, high-traffic areas like the floor and armrests are done in black, so they won't show wear and dirt easily. That makes this the classic that's ready for worry-free enjoyment. In fact, this is still a great road tripping machine with nice features like the AM/FM/CD stereo with aux input and the large sunroof over the mid-section.


A later Type 2 means getting the largest motor offered in the series. The 2.0-liter flat-four is even believed to be original to the Bus. It fires up readily, like a proper fuel-injected motor should, and it has the unmistakably robust air-cooled soundtrack. The four-speed manual transmission shifts smoothly and allows you to take full control of the motor. And this one feels confident out on the road with Koni shocks, modern Michelin tires, and power brakes w/discs up front.


This is the well-done later-model VW van you've been waiting for. So don't let this opportunity slip away, call today!
