Vehicle Description
This 1975 Volkswagen Type 1 pickup was completely restored and
customized. Discovered in a closed garage in Brazil, these were
produced until the middle of 1975; it was the last year of
production of split-windows in the world. The car was carefully
disassembled and painted in two-tone Aquamarine Blue, a 1957
Porsche PPG paint code, and Vanilla. It is powered by an upgraded
1,835cc 4-cylinder engine with dual 40mm Solex carburetors with a
4x2 exhaust mated to a 4-speed Freeway Flyer manual transmission.
The steering box has been upgraded to a new roller box for improved
performance. This pickup rides on EMPI 15x5.5-inch aluminum wheels
wrapped in radial tires. The spare tire is housed in its original
position, complemented by a fifth EMPI wheel. The entire electrical
system, including the Angel Eyes headlights and an LED-lit
speedometer, has undergone a comprehensive overhaul. The exterior
features include new green glass, a safari windshield with a
convenient pop-out feature, two green sky windows and the luxury
model's complete set of moldings. It has many items chromed both
inside and outside of the car, including the authentically restored
VW old stock bumpers. The custom interior features high-quality
beige leather upholstery and handcrafted new seats and is finished
with beige carpeting. It also features a storage unit beneath the
truck bed.
