1968 Volkswagen Kombi Type 2 Split-Window Bus

This 1968 Volkswagen Kombi is a Brazilian-market example that was imported to the US in July 2021 following the seller’s purchase in May 2020. It is finished in red and ivory over two-tone beige upholstery and is powered by a 1.5L flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes 14″ steel wheels with chrome hubcaps, nine-passenger seating, window curtains, a retro-style headunit, and aftermarket speakers. Work performed in April 2021 is said to have included an oil change and replacement of the battery and tires. This Type 2 is offered with import documentation and a clean Florida title in the name of the seller’s business. The fifteen-window bus is finished in red with ivory upper portions and bumpers with overriders. Additional features include dual chrome side mirrors, passenger-side rear entry doors, and a single exhaust outlet. Pitting and corrosion is noted on some of the bright-finished trim, which is depicted in the gallery below. Silver-finished 14″ steel wheels show signs of wear and are fitted with chrome hubcaps and 185/70 Goodyear Direction Touring tires that display date codes from 2019. The cabin features three rows of seating trimmed in two-tone beige upholstery with matching door and side panels. Features include vented front windows, window curtains, black rubber floor linings, a fire extinguisher, a retro-style headunit, and aftermarket speakers. A two-spoke steering wheel fronts an ivory-painted steel dashboard that houses a 120-km/h speedometer and a fuel level gauge that shows wear. The five-digit odometer indicates 88k kilometers (~55k miles), and true mileage is unknown. The air-cooled 1.5L flat-four features a single carburetor and sends power to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle. Work in April 2021 is said to have included replacing the battery and an oil change. Corrosion is noted on underside surfaces, and additional images showing the condition beneath the vehicle are included in the gallery below. Filed under: vw
