Vehicle Description
This 1974 Volkswagen Samba Type 2 has undergone a 14-month
professional rotisserie restoration by a well-known builder and has
been upgraded to a 23-window. The execution is to a high level of
craftsmanship with attention to detail throughout. Nothing has gone
untouched, and no expense has been spared on this bus. It is
finished in Marine Blue and Lotus White two-tone colors with a
white top, over a white and blue interior. The bus features Safari
front and rear windows, three sets of pop-out windows on each side,
a full center retractable ragtop sunroof, double cargo side doors
and seating for nine. Made of Brazilian wood, the front and rear
roof racks and ladder provide additional storage and really add to
that classic VW charm. It is powered by a rebuilt 1500cc flat-4
engine mated to a 4-speed manual transmission; the complete
drivetrain has been rebuilt, including the transmission and
transaxle. The engine was color-matched, and a graduated crank
pulley was installed along with adjustable tensioner and generator
pulleys to complete the clean look. A brand-new carburetor was
installed, along with an ignition coil, spark plugs and wires for
reliable spark and fuel delivery. The suspension, steering and
braking systems have also been rebuilt with brand-new parts
throughout. The electrical system was also completely redone, from
the wiring harness to the generator, voltage regulator and battery.
