This 1971 Volkswagen Type 2 23 Window Deluxe is a Brazilian-built beauty, sporting the classic split-window design that US models had already phased out. The vibrant red and cream two-tone paint job gives this bus a striking appearance that harkens back to its '60s roots. Front and rear roof racks with a side ladder add utility and style, while the pop-out front windows and canvas retractable top offer an open-air experience. Chrome VW center caps on steel wheels complement the painted front and rear bumpers-this Type 2 rolls on 185/70R14 tires, providing a stable stance for this iconic van.
Inside, the cream-colored vinyl upholstery creates a light, airy atmosphere. The split-bench seating offers comfort for drivers and passengers alike. An overhead console adds a touch of practicality to the interior. The painted dash face houses clean, clear gauges that are easy to read. The floor-mounted shifter for the 4-speed manual transmission is within easy reach, perfect for navigating city streets or cruising down the highway.
Powering this Type 2 is a Brazilian-built 1300cc flat-four engine, identified by its BJ678377 casting number. A single-barrel carburetor feeds this air-cooled powerplant and breathes through a single exhaust system. The 4-speed manual transmission allows full control over the modest but willing engine. Drum brakes at all four corners provide stopping power, while the torque-arm suspension system keeps the ride smooth and controlled. The absence of power steering and power brakes gives the driver a direct, unfiltered connection to the road.
