Description
Lot #772 - This 1972 Volkswagen Samba Type 2 T1 received a rotisserie restoration in 2021. This Kombi has been upgraded to a 23-window re-creation bus. It features a dual-cargo-door configuration with undercarriage belly pans to strengthen the chassis. The front end has been upgraded to a rack & pinion steering system, which makes the turns easier even at low speed. The bus is refinished in the classic two-tone theme of Aqua and Lotus White to match the interior, which has been completely redone as well. The middle seat can be folded on both sides for easy access to the rear seats through the dual left- and right-hand side cargo doors. Power comes from the original air-cooled 1,500cc flat-4 boxer engine, which is mated to the original 4-speed manual transmission. Some other notable features include pop-out safari front windows, front quarter-window vents, a large retractable sunroof, bumper guards, rocker molding and whitewall tires. The bus has a Westfalia-style roof rack, a vintage-style chrome cupholder storage basket and a CocoMat at the front.
