Vehicle Description
This 1974 Volkswagen Type 2 Single Cab Pickup is a sharply restored
South American import. It gives you plenty of classic style mixed
with the kind of details that are part of the VW traditions that
are uniquely South American. So it's a stylish way to transport
something unique, and quite frankly, this pickup will get a ton of
attention all on its own.
The classic front end is always an attention-getter, and the black
of the two-tone dives deep into the center to really showcase the
style. In fact, the full paint package is thoughtfully done where
you have cool details and intertwining colors - including the blue
VW logo up front, the blue bumpers to match the body, and the black
wheels. And it's all part of a glossy presentation that comes from
a quality restoration. While the VW pickup was born out of a sense
of utility, this one just seems to add plenty of style on top of
it. For example, the trim that encircles the body not only
separates the two-tone, but it also has a mirror-like brightness
that can't help but show off the straightness of the fold-down bed
sides. And even the wheel wells look clean and impressive. It has a
true vintage style, right down to the two-piece wheel covers. The
result is the kind of truck that you just know will be a terrific
way to promote your business or transport collectibles. And we bet
there's a bunch of you who just know how good a surfboard would
look in the back of this pickup.
The interior has a classic feel with the airy cab and smooth dash
with a parcel tray underneath. But a proper restoration also means
taking the time for the right well-integrated upgrades. You get
plush full carpeting, well-done door panels, fresh
weather-stripping, and supple leather-like upholstery. And speaking
of the upholstery, we especially love the bucket seats. They have
the classic look, but there are well-done additions with the smooth
adjustable tracks and nicely bolstered seatbacks. It makes for a
nicer driver, especially when combined with the wood-rimmed
steering wheel and EMPI shifter. But our favorite feature may just
be the glass. Not only does the split windshield vent, but the rear
glass does, too. So you have a terrific way to let the air flow
through the cab as you listen to the classic air-cooled motor
hum.
Under the rear hatch is VW's famous 1500cc flat-four motor. It has
the same extra-fresh and well-coordinated style as the rest of this
pickup, and that means both something that you can show off and a
powerhouse that loves to run. The freshness extends through the
full drivetrain and undercarriage. So you have a classic that
shifts crisply with the four-speed and feels confident on the road.
It's an overall solid cruiser with power brakes, front discs, and
newer (2021) touring tires.
A restored and upgraded VW like this means a ton of beauty without
losing its functional side. So you know a unique import is going to
attract a ton of the right attention. Call today!!!
