1965 Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi 23-Window Conversion 4-Speed Split-Window Bus

This 1965 Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi 23-window conversion was acquired by the seller as a partially finished project in 2017 and was subsequently completed with work that included repainting the body, replacing the engine, rebuilding the transaxle, replacing the side windows, and reupholstering the interior. The van is finished in orange and white over a white leather interior and is powered by a replacement 1,600cc flat-four paired with a rebuilt four-speed manual transaxle. The front drum brakes have been converted to discs and air suspension was added under previous ownership. A 12-volt electrical system has been installed, and features include a ragtop sunroof, double cargo doors, body-colored 15″ steel wheels, a roof rack, an analog clock, a perforated headliner, and 11 pop-out windows. This Type 2 Bus is offered with service records, a magazine featuring the bus, and Ontario registration. The body has been repainted in orange and white and the side windows were replaced. Exterior equipment includes 23 windows, a split windscreen, a roof rack, chrome bumpers, dual side mirrors, and dual exhaust outlets integrated into the rear bumper. Orange-finished 15″ steel wheels wear chrome hubcaps and are wrapped in Nankang whitewall tires. Front disc brakes have reportedly been added, and an air suspension system has been installed. The frame has been modified to serve as an air tank for the air compressor. The front seats and rear bench have been reupholstered in white leather with orange embroidered VW logos on the seatbacks. The interior panels are upholstered in white leather and white seatbelts have been added. Additional details include an analog clock, a perforated headliner, a retractable ragtop sunroof, and 11 pop-out windows. The two-spoke steering wheel fronts an 80-mph speedometer and gauges for fuel level, voltage, and temperature are housed on the dash. The five-digit odometer shows 1 mile. Total mileage is unknown. The van features double cargo doors on both sides and the decorative surfboard is included in the sale. The replacement 1,600cc features twin carburetors and was installed during the refurbishment. The van has been converted to a 12-volt system, and the engine and transaxle mounting points have been raised. Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a rebuilt four-speed manual transaxle. A hydraulic clutch has been added and the clutch and release bearing were replaced in 2019. The car does not have a title, as it is registered in a province that does not issue titles for vehicles. It is being sold on its registration. Filed under: vw
