Vehicle Description
West Coast Classics are proud to present a beautifully presented
example of this 1975 Volkswagen Bus conversion tribute 23 Window
Deluxe Samba Microbus with skylight windows and cloth sunroof and
which was reportedly restored by a renown Brazilian restoration
shop!This a wonderful driving restoration and conversion tribute to
a collectible Type 24 Bus (Deluxe 9 passenger Microbus). Most
Deluxe Microbuses were ordered as Samba models (a $160 option) that
included a sliding canvas sunroof flanked by 4 skylight windows on
each side of the roof (that's a 23 window bus through model 1963
and a 21 window bus starting in model year 1964). The deluxe
Microbus was Volkswagens top-of-the-line transporter.These iconic
Type 24 Bus (Deluxe 9 passenger Microbus) were originally marketed
for touring the Alps with small skylight windows embedded into the
roof for added viewing capabilities and were manufactured with the
highest trim level available which included trim strips along the
beltline and a dash clock! Most Deluxe Microbuses were ordered as
Samba models (a $160 option) that included a sliding canvas 'Golde'
sunroof flanked by the 4 skylight windows on each side of the
roof.The bus is fitted with highly desirable 'original German'
Safari front windows and wooden roof rack and finished in a
striking two-tone color combination of Red and White paint and the
bus has a Black amp; White interior!The engine is an updated 1600
single carb engine and this bus must be driven to be fully
appreciated - the engine is extremely strong and responsive with
excellent oil pressure and no oil leaks and which sounds absolutely
magnificent, the original factory 4 speed transmission shifts
smoothly through all the gears, the bus brakes great and the engine
temperature always remains cool.
