This 1961 Volkswagen 23-window custom microbus is powered by a
documented factory-original 1,500cc air-cooled four-cylinder engine
producing approximately 65hp, paired with a restored four-speed
manual transmission. A performance-style shifter provides quick,
precise gear changes. Mechanical upgrades include an aluminum
crankshaft pulley, alternator pulleys, a new carburetor,
distributor, ignition coil, spark plugs and ignition wires. The
suspension, steering and braking systems were completely restored
using new, genuine Volkswagen components, and the electrical system
was upgraded to 12 volts. It rides on new tires mounted to 15-inch
RDW Classics sport wheels with a 5x205 bolt pattern and has a
slightly lowered suspension. Restored by A&J Revival, the
Volkswagen received structural, mechanical, electrical and cosmetic
work that included comprehensive body restoration, sheet-metal
replacement and a rotisserie restoration. It is finished in
two-tone Volkswagen Lotus White and Mystic Green with a high-end
paint finish. Exterior features include the 23-window
configuration, a large retractable panoramic canvas sunroof and a
split windshield with dual chrome-trimmed safari-style front
openings. The interior was completely refurbished, with the
original seating restored using new springs and foam, then
upholstered in eco-friendly Emerald Green and Mystic Green vinyl
with traditional Volkswagen-style stitching. Ivory-white door
panels and a matching headliner complete the cabin. It is
accompanied by certification and supporting documentation from
Volkswagen do Brasil.
