Vehicle Description
This 1970 Volkswagen Type 2 23 Window Samba Re-Creation is a South
American-built masterpiece, showcasing the iconic design that made
these buses legendary. The two-tone paint job, featuring a vibrant
red paired with crisp white, creates a striking visual impact. The
23 windows, a hallmark of the Samba model, are tinted for privacy
and comfort, except for the clear front windshield. A white vinyl
sliding sunroof adds an extra touch of open-air freedom. The front
windshield, split into two sections, opens for added ventilation.
White bumpers and wheel caps contrast beautifully against the
painted steel 15" wheels, wrapped in 175/65R15 tires. A removable
roof rack crowns this classic, while dual mirrors and a front
antenna complete the exterior package.
The interior of this Type 2 is a stylish blend of black and white,
mirroring the exterior's two-tone theme. Two-tone vinyl seats
provide comfortable seating, with a bench in the rear and a 60/40
split in the front. The center row features a fold-down mechanism
for easy access to the rear. Shoulder belts are present for the
front outer passengers. The headliner and door panels throughout
the vehicle maintain the vehicle's classic appeal. Vinyl floors run
throughout the bus. When the sliding roof is open, a smoke-colored
wind deflector can be deployed. The front compartment is
straightforward and functional, featuring a retro-style radio with
two speakers, added cupholders, and a practical shelf. The stock
steering wheel and gauges maintain the original feel, while a VDO
clock on the dash keeps accurate time. A fire extinguisher behind
the driver's seat adds a safety touch, and a whimsical Hawaiian
girl figurine on the dash brings a touch of fun to the
interior.
Powering this classic is a 1776cc engine, installed in 2022 with
less than 200 miles on the clock. The powerplant, sourced from
Circo Performance, breathes through an Empi single-barrel
carburetor and an aftermarket air cleaner. A Bosch distributor
manages the ignition, while a dual-into-single exhaust system
provides a satisfying note. The engine bay is clean and
well-organized, showcasing the care given to this bus. Power is
transmitted through a 4-speed manual transmission, offering an
engaging driving experience. The suspension system features
independent setups front and rear, providing a balanced ride.
Braking is handled by front disc brakes and rear drums, a
combination that offers reliable stopping power for this vintage
vehicle.
