For Sale: 1992 Volkswagen Type 2 in Concord, North Carolina

This 1992 Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi/Bus is one of the coolest road trip machines you can get your hands on right now. It's a restored Brazilian import that has been thoroughly upgraded to deliver all the best comforts of home in one of the most iconic packages around.

South America kept many VW traditions alive longer than even Germany did. This is the kind of vehicle that gets to blend some of your favorite elements of the Type 2 Bus. The flat front end is the later bread van look, and the great body lines and smooth paint keep the crisp and clean look going from every angle. Of course, the full window treatment, including the wraparound rear ones, has the look of those first-gen surf wagons. And as you look through the full package, you can see this is the perfect machine to go camp out at the beach. It shows this live-in ready attitude with the roof that has solar panels, a Climatizar air box, and water storage. But not everyone is going to take note of what's on top because the sides are already so interesting. The bright teal paint and white two-tone has a bright look of a cheery cruiser. And there's a great detailed style with a full yellow stripe as a dividing line and the bumpers and grille painted to coordinate with the theme. The wheels even carry the two-tone style. The full package has a driver-ready style that makes it easy to hop in on a whim no matter if it's just a day at the car show or a trip across the country.

The interior starts with a driver's area that's a good mix of retro and new. You get a classic VDO gauge package with the speedometer in kilometers and a grippy dual-spoke steering wheel. But there are also cool upgrades like the tall shifter and bucket seats with modern bolstering for all-day comfort. Plus, the radio is now an AM/FM unit with Bluetooth. But where this really impresses in the back. This one has a true personal feeling with a beautifully crafted wood theme that's on the roof, sides, and countertop. It can make any roadside feel like a vacation cabin. There are nice details, like custom cabinetry, working outlets, and a full LED lighting package. It's a full camp-ready package with a built-in sink, a refrigerator, a slide-out stove, and a bench seat that folds into a bed.

Under the rear hatch is the famous air-cooled flat-four powerplant. The 1600cc motor is a dual carb unit, and it has the fresh and clean look you want in a well-invested and hardy VW van. These were never meant to be speed demons, but it does have the right upgrades for a confident feeling going down the road. The upgraded shifter has a crisp action for the four-speed, there are good modern cruising tires, and the braking system is a powered setup with front discs.

This is a beautiful Bus with a unique sense of style. You can comfortably take it to more places, and attract extra attention wherever you arrive. So it makes for a terrific classic to enjoy. Call now!
