Founded in 1937, the German automobile manufacturer Volkswagen has produced many iconic vehicles to date. From the Beetle to the Golf GTi and more, this manufacturer has endured in the hearts of motor vehicle aficionados.

The VW Type 2 was produced from 1967 till 2013 and is slated for a comeback in the form of an electric minibus.

Electric windshield washers are in place along with a glass pop-up sunroof while the rear window is a sliding one. The seller has reported that the Hankook 10 ply tires are in very good condition.

The interior is finished off in a combination of black and white for the seats and the door inserts with black polypropylene plastic for the dash. A functioning AM/FM radio with cassette is in place too for some retro tunes on the go.
Engine
The Volkswagen Type 2 was offered in a myriad of drivetrain configurations depending on the year. This 1968 Volkswagen Truck/ Transporter Double Cab is equipped with a donor engine from a 1977 model. Reportedly it’s a 2.0L air-cooled, gasoline-fueled, boxer engine with dual carburetors and is said to have only 10,000 miles on the engine. The transmission has also been sourced from a 1977 Bus, and reportedly it easily cruises at 70 mph as per the seller. Power disc brakes have been installed, with a front disc brake conversion. In case you’re wondering, the powerplant endows this Type 2 with 70hp!
When you think of exploring and driving far and wide, there are only a few better ways of racking up the miles than behind the wheel of a classic Volkswagen Kombi. The humble German machine was a symbol of love and peace and a way of traveling with large groups of people exploring memories and good times. Looking to achieve your travel plans uniquely? This 1977 Volkswagen Kombi is the perfect way of going about it. The current owner reports that this Classic Volkswagen is a Brazilian market example and was refurbished and modified before importing to US shores.
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.
For decades, the Volkswagen Type 2 has represented freedom on four wheels, becoming one of the most recognizable camper vans ever produced. This 1972 Volkswagen Type 2 Transporter Camper Van carries on that legacy with its classic Orange and White finish, pop-top camper roof, and thoughtfully configured camper interior conversion. Showing approximately 88,815 miles, this air-cooled icon blends vintage character with the functionality that made these Transporters favorites among adventurers, surfers, and road-trip enthusiasts. Whether destined for weekend camping excursions, local Cars & Coffee events, or simply reliving the golden age of overland travel, this Type 2 is ready for its next chapter.
The Volkswagen Beetle is one of the most recognizable automobiles ever produced, earning a reputation for its simple engineering, unmistakable styling, and enduring reliability. This 1963 Volkswagen Beetle takes that iconic formula several steps further with a professionally upgraded drivetrain and numerous performance enhancements while retaining the timeless charm that has made the Beetle a beloved classic for generations. Showing off a striking Crimson Red finish over a Gray interior, this Beetle is powered by a Scat-built 2027cc air-cooled flat-four equipped with dual Weber 44mm carburetors, creating a spirited driving experience that far exceeds the performance of its original factory configuration.
The Volkswagen Karmann Ghia has long been admired for blending dependable German engineering with elegant Italian styling. Penned by Carrozzeria Ghia and hand-assembled by Karmann, it offered sports car looks while retaining the reliability and simplicity of the legendary Beetle. This 1969 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Coupe carries on that legacy, showing 155,708 miles and delivering the unmistakable charm that has made air-cooled Volkswagens favorites among collectors for decades. Finished in Cherry Red over a Black interior, this classic is equipped with a 4-speed manual transmission and even features a period General Electric CB radio, making it a nostalgic cruiser that’s equally enjoyable at local cars & coffee events or weekend drives.
