1973 Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi 23-Window Conversion Split-Window Bus

This 1973 Volkswagen Type 2 was acquired by the seller in March 2021 and underwent refurbishment work and a 23-window Samba-style conversion in Brazil before being imported to the US in January 2022. It is finished in two-tone green and white over gray and white upholstery, and power comes from a 1.5L flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes a sliding cloth sunroof, a roof rack and ladder, pop-out safari windows, painted bumpers with overriders, white 15″ steel wheels, and three rows of seating. This Bus is offered with import documents and a clean Arizona title in the seller’s name. The bus was reportedly refinished in two-tone green and white following sheetmetal work for the additional windows and sunroof opening. Equipment includes a retractable cloth sunroof, a roof rack and side ladder, painted bumpers with overriders, dual side mirrors, chrome trim, pop-out safari windows, and outward-opening dual windshields. Exterior blemishes are depicted in the photo gallery below and include paint chips and a worn area where the ladder mounts to the body. Replacement white-finished 15″ smoothie-style steel wheels wear chrome hubcaps with trim rings and are mounted with 165-series Coker Classic wide whitewall tires. Drum brakes are equipped on all four corners. The cabin features seating trimmed in two-tone gray and white vinyl with matching door panels. Amenities include gray carpets, a dash-mounted handle, sliding front side windows, and three-point front seat belts. The seller states that the heater is non-operable. A white two-spoke steering wheel fronts a painted steel dash housing a 120-km/h speedometer and a fuel level gauge. The five-digit odometer indicates 61k kilometers (~38k miles), less than 1k of which have been added by the seller. True mileage is unknown. The rear passenger area is accessed through passenger-side barn doors and features two rows of bench seats in matching two-tone gray and white vinyl with lap belts. The air-cooled 1.5L flat-four is said to be equipped with single-port cylinder heads. The heater boxes have been removed, and an oil change was carried out in January 2022. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle. Additional underside images are included in the gallery below. Filed under: vw
