Vehicle Description
Out of production for decades and still there is a strong demand
for the legendary VW Microbus. To date, nothing else has appeared
that can match its combination of utility, reliability, simplicity
and of course, there's no denying the appeal of a vintage VW to
folks who were around when they were new.
This bright blue metallic and white 1974 Volkswagen Microbus may be
exactly what you've been looking for. Functional, clean and never
used for anything more challenging than exploring the edges of
civilization. The bodywork is in excellent shape, as you'd expect
from a vehicle that has been well cared for.
A removable image of the Muppets band on its sides is super fun,
and a roof rack and tinted cadet visor add even more character to
this great VW bus. Lowered three inches, this bus rides on its
original wheels and hubcaps with tires staggered 175/65R14 front
and 205/70R14 rear to create the perfect stance.

Inside, it is as funky and as practical as you remember. Tan vinyl
upholstery is durable, easy to maintain and perfectly captures the
look of the era without being too outrageous. The upright driving
position is probably something we will never experience again in a
consumer vehicle. The original ventilation system has been upgraded
with air conditioning and there is plenty of headroom fore and aft
so you can walk between the seats to see what is going on in the
back. The interior is in excellent condition, with fun blue and
green plaid seat upholstery and a hardwood floor. Details like the
bright, airy interior make it an excellent choice, then and today.
A modern retro style stereo radio with Bluetooth provides music for
cruising.
Power comes from a familiar air-cooled 1500cc Volkswagen flat-four,
straight out of the Beetle. No, it isn't very fast or powerful, but
it is reliable and virtually maintenance-free, so you'll always get
where you're going...eventually. Routinely driven hundreds of
thousands of miles, these vans are legendary in certain circles,
and they come by that reputation honestly. The engine bay is clean
and the motor runs great, plus this bus is equipped with front disc
brakes. A stack of service and repair receipts from specialists at
Herrell Bug & Bus in Carrollton, GA, show how well this bus had
been maintained. The 4-speed manual transmission shifts well thanks
to a new clutch and it is easy to get the hang of the bus-like
steering with the front wheels right under your seat.
Iconic, practical and timeless, this 1974 VW Microbus is the one
you have been waiting for. Call today!
