1956 Volkswagen Bus for sale! Motorcar Classics is proud to present
this 1956 Volkswagen Type 2 23-Window Transporter, a rare piece of
Volkswagen's history. As one of the last hand-built transporters to
roll out of the Wolfsburg plant before production transitioned to
another automated assembly plant at Johannesburg, Bavaria, this bus
holds a special place in Volkswagen's legacy. Imported to Texas in
April 1956, it boasts a unique rear transmission mount crossmember
that distinguishes it from the later automated assembly
transporters, a telltale sign of its hand-crafted origins and
collectibility. This dry-state vehicle has spent its entire life in
the arid climates of Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, resulting in a
completely rust-free body - a true rarity for a VW of this vintage.
Still bearing its Arizona title, this meticulously preserved and
beautifully restored Type 2 offers collectors and enthusiasts alike
the opportunity to own a piece of Volkswagen's storied past. With
its 23 windows providing ample natural light and panoramic views,
along with a full sunroof, this Transporter embodies the spirit of
adventure and freedom that made these vehicles iconic. Featured in
black over red with beige interior, this is arguably the most
desirable color combination. A period-correct rooftop luggage rack,
and wide whitewall tires complete the classic look. For improved
performance, and safety, the bus is upgraded with a circa 1970 VW
1,600 cc motor. Don't miss this chance to acquire a pristine,
hand-built example of one of the most beloved and recognizable
vehicles in automotive history.
