1960 Volkswagen Type 2 23-Window Deluxe Samba Split-Window Bus

This 1960 Volkswagen Type 2 is a 23-window Deluxe model that underwent a refurbishment before the seller’s acquisition in 2020. Finished in two-tone green and off-white over tan upholstery, the bus is powered by a replacement dual-port 1.5L flat-four mated to a four-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes a sliding fabric sunroof, eight skylight windows, safari-style windshields, pop-out side glass, three rows of bench seats, painted bumpers with overriders, 15″ steel wheels, a Custom Autosound USA-230 stereo, and a 12-volt electrical system. This bus is now offered with a clean Utah title in the seller’s name. The 23-window body was refinished in mango green and off-white during the refurbishment. Exterior details include a sliding fabric sunroof, eight skylight windows, safari-style windshields, dual side mirrors, and white-painted bumpers with overriders. The seller notes the M-code plate was lost during refurbishment. Body-color 15″ steel wheels wear VW-stamped hubcaps and are mounted with 165-series Coker Classic whitewall tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel drum brakes. The cabin has been refurbished and features tan upholstery with white piping along with color-coordinated door and side panels and a beige mohair headliner. Black rubber lines the front floors while tan square-weave carpets cover the rear floors and cargo area. Additional equipment includes an overhead ventilation unit, pop-out side windows, a passenger-side grab handle, a storage shelf, and a Custom Autosound USA-230 stereo. Dual swing-out doors provide access to a rear compartment that features two rows of bench seats. A two-spoke steering wheel fronts a body-color dashboard housing an 80-mph VDO speedometer and gauges for fuel level and amperage. The five-digit odometer shows 80k miles, approximately 150 of which were added under current ownership. True mileage is unknown. The replacement 1.5L air-cooled flat-four was reportedly overhauled during the refurbishment process and features dual-port heads and a 12-volt electrical system. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle equipped with gear reduction boxes. Filed under: vw
