Overview of 1972 Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi Bus For Sale by Owner

Now here’s a symbol of the Sixties in all its Baby Blue glory! This 1972 Volkswagen Kombi comes to you from Winston-Salem, North Carolina with a mere 1,473 miles on the clock. That super-low mileage plus the overall pristine outlook of the vehicle leads us to believe that it may have received a restoration. Because why not? After all, such vehicles are historically significant symbols of freedom and peace. They’ve been used to spread love and hope all over the world. And even if you aren’t into that movement, what better and simpler way to digitally detox your family than to pack them into this thing and take a drive on a weekend? Because it’s as analog as things get.

Exterior and Interior

Dressed in Baby Blue, this 1972 Volkswagen Kombi rides on classic steel wheels with Volkswagen emblem half caps and features plenty of windows. Yes, there’s near 360-degree visibility from the interior of this van, because it’s got plenty of glass all round. White bumpers and a white VW emblem on the nose add a touch of contrast, while the cutesy headlamps and overall recognizable shape mean that you’ll melt the hearts of even the angriest road-ragers out there. The tan interior of this 1972 Volkswagen Kombi is the definition of spartan. You’ve got two individual seats up front and two benches behind, leading us to believe that the official capacity of this van is eight. The driver faces a very minimalistic dashboard with a speedometer, a thin-rimmed steering wheel, a manual gear shifter and three pedals. Of course, you’ve got turn signals, windshield wipers and headlamps as legally required, but there’s nothing else – not even a radio that we can see. However, you do have an overhead lamp, a ventilation grille and some ash trays. If you really need music, a Bluetooth speaker is your best bet, but don’t forget to charge it before leaving the house in this van with it.

Engine

There’s a 1.7-liter flat four in the tail of this 1972 Volkswagen Kombi. It’s connected to a 4-speed manual transmission and drives the rear wheels. The engine is air cooled, giving it that signature VW purr that Beetles also emit – after all, the two vehicles are closely related.
