1964 Volkswagen Type 2 Deluxe 21-Window Samba Split-Window Bus

This 1964 Volkswagen Microbus is a 21-window Deluxe Samba that was acquired 20 years ago by the seller, and a refurbishment was completed in 2013. Work included repainting the bus in white and gray along with reportedly installing a 1.2-liter flat-four. The bus is equipped with a four-speed manual transaxle, cream vinyl upholstery, a fabric sunroof, rear window jail bars, and front lap belts. This 21-window Samba is offered with a Volkswagen Zertifikat, bodywork photos, and a Pennsylvania title in the seller’s name. Finished from the factory in Mouse Gray and Pearl White, the bus was disassembled and placed on a rotisserie, areas of rust were repaired and replacement sheet metal was installed, and it was then repainted. Features include a retractable canvas sunroof, panoramic roof windows, pop-out side windows, polished beltline trim, dual mirrors, and white-painted bumpers with overriders and rub strips. Blemishes on the sunroof panel are documented in the gallery below. White-finished steel wheels wear chrome hubcaps and are wrapped in BFGoodrich narrow-whitewall tires. The cabin features three rows of bench seating upholstered in cream vinyl with gray sides. The interior panels are upholstered in gray vinyl with patterned inserts. Jail bars are fitted in the rear cargo area, lap belts are present for the front occupants, and the shifter lever is equipped with a curved extension. The clock does not work. The two-spoke steering wheel fronts an 80-mph speedometer and a fuel-level gauge. The five-digit odometer shows 2k miles, fewer than 1k of which have been added by the seller. True mileage is unknown. The perforated headliner is shown above along with the overhead ventilation system, retractable sunroof, and pop-out vent windows. A 1.2-liter flat-four was installed during current ownership, and an oil change and valve adjustment were performed in 2021. Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transaxle. An additional underside photo is viewable in the gallery below along with photos taken during the refurbishment process. The included Volkswagen Zertifikat lists a January 29, 1964 production date along with paint codes and optional equipment. The bus was awarded a third-place award for its class at the 2018 Cobble Beach Concours d’Elegance in Kemble, Ontario. The current title carries an Antique brand.
