For Sale: 1958 Volkswagen Type 2 in Lavergne, Tennessee

Vehicle Description

This 1958 Volkswagen Type 2 Single Cab carries a unique history. Reportedly serving Oakland's fire department after its journey from Germany to San Francisco, it now sports a bold red paint job. The Single Cab's design showcases German ingenuity with fold-down sides and tailgate, offering unmatched versatility for hauling or display. Authentic 15" Type 2 wheels with chrome covers grip the road with BFGoodrich P155/80R15 tires. Its clean, utilitarian profile reflects the no-nonsense approach of Volkswagen's early commercial vehicles.

Inside the cab, function takes center stage. A full-replacement black vinyl bench seat provides comfort for extended drives. The dash and doors match the exterior color, creating a cohesive look that underscores the vehicle's purposeful design. This interior puts everything within reach, giving drivers a mobile workspace ready for any job. No frills, just pure functionality in true Volkswagen style.

Look in the rear, and you'll find an early 36hp 1200cc air-cooled engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. This compact powerplant, a feat of German engineering for its time, propels the lightweight Single Cab with surprising efficiency. The engine area houses components restored to factory specifications. From hoses and belts to fluids, every aspect has been addressed for optimal performance. The original VW Bus transaxle and swing axle rear suspension give this Type 2 its characteristic handling, while drum brakes at all four corners bring it to a stop.
