A symbol of peace and love, the Volkswagen Transporter, or Type 2 series is well-known worldwide. These versatile vans or microbuses feature many commonalities with the VW Beetle, including its friendly, purring air-cooled engine. What we've got here is a 1977 Volkswagen Transporter II in fantastic condition after quite a bit of restoration that was done during 2020 and 2021. With just zero miles since its rebirth, it's now seeking a new owner for many more adventures. Why don't you seize the moment and make it your avenue for relaxing, unwinding, and destressing?
The Volkswagen Kombi, Type 2 or Bus as it’s informally known, is one of the German automaker’s most iconic vehicles. Despite gaining significant traction in the 1960s with the hippie movement, the Type 2 actually debuted in 1950. These vehicles shared a lot with the Beetle, including the iconic air-cooled flat-four engine. Today, they continue to enjoy a loyal following, even from those who weren’t born in the Fifties, Sixties, Seventies or even Eighties. This 1975 Volkswagen Kombi Pickup Transporter is a fine example that’s reported to have undergone a restoration, and has racked up just 2,000 miles since then. It’s also a 2-door pickup, which is rarer nowadays than the more common minibus variant.
The Volkswagen Beetle, one of the most iconic cars in automotive history, is recognized for its distinctive shape and back story. It was created by the same engineer who founded Porsche, Ferdinand Porsche. The Volkswagen Beetle in itself is a historical figure, as it symbolized a shift from cars being a privilege for the wealthy to a dream that everyone could fulfill. Therefore, buying a Beetle is not just about owning a classic car but also about owning a piece of world history with countless stories to be told. This particular 1979 air-cooled boxer four-cylinder German we have today has been meticulously restored back to life with a small twist: a turbocharger. With just 55,500 miles reported, this 1979 Volkswagen Beetle is ready to take you on some exciting expeditions.
The Volkswagen Kombi, Transporter, Camper, Microbus or T2 is a well-known light commercial vehicle. Introduced in 1949, it used the Beetle’s powertrain, but installed it within a larger and longer body that could be had in many styles. These included panel vans, pickup trucks, passenger microbuses, ice cream vans, and campers. In the Sixties, the model really took off, with the movement of peace and love. Many microbuses were converted into campers, and many more continue to receive this treatment even in the current era. However, if you want to buy a VW Kombi that’s already received the conversion, check out this 1995 Volkswagen EuroVan Camper that we’re selling with only 45,500 miles on the clock. Having undergone a full restoration, the vehicle comes with a comfortable and practical interior, two keys, and infinite amounts of charm and nostalgia.
The Volkswagen Beetle started life as a people’s car and has since become beloved by virtually all walks of life. Whether it’s an early "split window" in pristine condition or a radically modified rat rod, there are many dedicated devotees that come with an appreciation of the Bug’s way of life. One of the advantages of the VW Beetle platform is that it was available in a variety of body styles. In addition to the traditional sedan, there have been many different versions that share its underpinnings, including Variant models, wagons, and this: one of the last years that a convertible was offered from the factory. This 1978 Volkswagen Super Beetle Convertible is offered for sale with a 1.6-liter engine and 97,000 miles reported on the odometer.
The Chevrolet Advance Design series of trucks was the Bowtie’s first new offering in the truck segment since World War II ended. Debuting for the 1947 model year, the range comprised several derivatives, including the 3100, 3600 and 3800, which were ½, ¾ and 1 ton trucks respectively. This 1954 Chevrolet 3600 Cummins Mini Semi is one of the ¾-ton examples, and is truly one of a kind. That’s because it’s reportedly been built over 35 years, as per the current owner. It’s got a more powerful and newer engine too, with just 55,000 reported miles. The transmission is also a more modern unit with just 6,000 miles on it. So, if you want something that’s distinctive, interesting and practical too, pick this 1954 Chevrolet 3600 Cummins Mini Semi.

The Chevrolet C and K series were built between 1960 and 2002 in four generations and are the ancestors of today’s Silverados. The K models were 4-wheel drive, whereas the C models (like this one) were 2-wheel drive. The 3rd generation was introduced in 1973 and would be in production for the next 18 years. It was both larger and much better equipped than its predecessors. In addition to the increase in size, a 4-door crew cab was added to the lineup with seating for six passengers. Shifts in the market and the use of pickup trucks led to the availability of sedan features and options.
