1964 Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi 23-Window Conversion Split-Window Bus

This 1964 Volkswagen Type 2 is a nine-passenger Brazilian-market example that received a 23-window conversion during a refurbishment in Brazil before being imported to the US by the seller’s father in 2023. Work included a repaint in two-tone red and white along with reupholstering the interior, servicing the engine, overhauling the gearbox, and replacing the steering box, shocks, brake components, alternator, and wiring harness. The bus is powered by a 1.5-liter flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle and equipped with a retractable cloth sunroof, a split windshield, white-painted bumpers, sliding side windows, and a push-button radio. This Type 2 is offered by the seller on behalf of the current owner with a clean Florida title in the owner’s name. A 23-window conversion was carried out and the body was repainted in two-tone red and white in Brazil. Additional exterior details include a retractable cloth sunroof, a split windshield, white-painted bumpers, and sliding side windows. White-painted 14″ steel wheels wear chrome hubcaps and are mounted with 185/65 Mattos Pneus tires. A spare is stowed behind the front seats. The steering box, shocks, and drum brakes were replaced during the refurbishment in Brazil. The forward cabin features a split bench that was fitted with replacement foam padding and two-tone gray and white upholstery. A metal bulkhead separates the front and rear passenger areas, and appointments include three-point seat belts and a push-button radio linked to aftermarket speakers. The two-spoke steering wheel fronts a 120-km/h speedometer and a fuel-level gauge. The five-digit odometer shows 28k kilometers (~17k miles), approximately 1,500 of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown. The rear compartment is accessed via dual swing-out doors, and it houses two rows of bench seats upholstered to match the front. The air-cooled flat-four is said to displace 1.5 liters and is fed by a single carburetor. The engine was refreshed as part of the refurbishment and an oil change was performed in April 2023. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle that was reportedly overhauled during the work in Brazil. A number of the underbody photos shown in the gallery were taken prior to the vehicle’s import to the US. Photos taken during various stages of the refurbishment are provided below. A reproduction chassis plate was installed in preparation for the sale, and a photo of the chassis stamping can be seen in the gallery. The Florida title is listed as a duplicate. Filed under: vw
