1973 Volkswagen Split-Window Bus

This 1973 Volkswagen Type 2 is a Brazilian-market example that underwent a 23-window conversion and had a retractable beige cloth sunroof installed in 2018. The bus has been refinished in yellow and white over gray and white vinyl upholstery and is powered by a replacement 1.5L flat-four linked to a four-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes a roof rack, a ladder, a pop-out windshield, skylight windows, a digital radio with Bluetooth, and 14″ steel wheels. This VW bus is now offered on dealer consignment with a clean Florida title. The bus was modified with a sunroof and additional windows before being repainted in yellow and white in 2018. Additional equipment includes a roof rack with wood slats, a ladder, outward-opening dual windshield panes, white-finished bumpers with overriders, and pop-out side windows. Photos from the build process are provided in the gallery. The 14″ steel wheels wear chrome VW-branded hubcaps and trim rings, and they are mounted with Bridgestone tires. Braking is handled by drums at each corner. The seats have been reupholstered in gray and white vinyl, and matching upholstery extends to the door panels. Lap belts have been added, and a digital radio with Bluetooth is fitted in the dash. The seller notes that the right side door release has a broken pin in it. The two-spoke steering wheel features a Wolfsburg logo horn button and sits ahead of a VDO 120-km/h speedometer and a fuel-level gauge. The odometer shows 63 kilometers, and total chassis mileage is unknown. The ignition lock cylinder is missing the backing plate. The replacement 1,500cc flat-four is equipped with a single carburetor and was installed under prior ownership. The belt pulley was replaced by the selling dealer and the fluids were changed. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transaxle.
