Vehicle Description
This 1967 Volkswagen Microbus 21 Window Samba is the enduring icon
sunroof VW bus that you've always dreamed of having. It's that
perfect surf wagon and road trip machine rolled into one
irresistible package.
The two-tone turquoise and white is the kind of paint you'd expect
from the factory in the 1960s, but it has the telltale luster that
lets you know it's a later investment. It's a truly coordinating
two-tone with the bumpers and steel wheels painted white. It all
makes for a classic that's stylish without being a trailer queen
that you'll be afraid to take to the beach. You have full-length De
Luxe trim, and the polished VW emblem in the middle of the iconic
dipping "V" front makes a striking first impression. Not only is
the body impressive, but also this really gets the details right.
You see it in places like the headlight surrounds, large side
mirrors, and the classic hallmark VW hubcaps that were shared with
the Type 1 (AKA, the Beetle.)
Just like the exterior, the interior remains quite faithful to the
original style while making sure everything is in good order. As
you look over the package, this feels like a European time machine
right down to details like the heater in the roof and working
German-spec Blaupunkt radio. The fabric and vinyl two-tone on the
seats are repeated throughout the interior on the side panels and
the stylish bulkhead behind the front seats. So this is not only a
great place to spend some time, but also you'll love pulling up to
car shows and opening up all the doors so everyone gets a peek.
Speaking of being open to the world, the large fabric sunroof is an
iconic feature that people love to see. It makes this interior
bright and cheery. With all this glass and the open roof, you'll
really enjoy this on the road, too. These were great for giving the
driver a commanding view. The large factory dual-spoke steering
wheel w/Wolfsburg crest, single VDO gauge, and easy-to-reach
gearshift should feel a bit familiar to Beetle fans. Plus, with the
pop-out dual windshields, nothing beats the old-school breezes this
VW bus creates.
Under the rear hatch is the air-cooled, horizontally-opposed 1600cc
motor. That's a larger displacement than what was available in
1967, and with desirable dual port heads, but it's hard to visually
tell the difference on a VW from a casual glance. What you can
really see is the ultra-tidy style of this rebuilt motor with its
newer carburetor, generator, fuel pump, distributor, and more. For
the driver, it all means an extra kick of power while still
retaining the spirit and reliability of the Beetle motor. It fires
up easily and runs nicely. Plus, it's linked to the sturdy and
versatile four-speed manual transmission, which allows you to get
the most out of the motor. It's an unbeatable package that provides
that hypnotic air-cooled soundtrack we all love.
This is one of the most sought-after icons of the open road. You
may just be headed down the street, but every trip looks like an
epic journey to the coast when you're driving a rare Samba bus.
