Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Scottsdale is honored to offer for sale, on
consignment, the iconic and highly sought after 1958 Volkswagen
Microbus with the desirable Samba Package. The Samba Package on top
of the Deluxe model brought 8 skylight windows and a canvas sunroof
to make it a 23 window bus. This Type 2 exterior is finished in
Mouse Gray and White with a Tan and Brown 2 tone interior. . Built
on VW Beetle mechanics, all VW buses including this one feature a
rear-mounted air cooled 4 cylinder engine tied to a 4-speed manual
transmission both with approximately 4000 miles since the rebuild.
The restoration was completed over a long period of time and the
bus is owned by a prominent VW collector who has several other
buses besides this one. As for the elephant in the room, anyone who
follows the collector car market knows how much money these 23
Window buses have brought at auction. According to Hagerty, these
early 21 and 23 Windows remain incredibly popular and highly
valuable even with millennial's, who make up 20% of VW bus buyers.
This is a trend we are not seeing with other cars in the 6-figure+
collector car market and a cause to be confident about investing in
one of these now rather than waiting. Driving or riding in a
restored VW bus like this instantly puts you in a vacation mindset-
you can shut off from the world around you that is increasingly
reliant on technology and enjoy a true driving experience in this
simple and cheerful VW. Contact our sales staff for more details on
how to claim this one for your very own!
