1974 Volkswagen Bus

This 1974 Volkswagen Type 2 Westfalia is finished in orange over orange tartan-pattern cloth and vinyl upholstery, and it is powered by a 1.8-liter flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes a front-mounted spare tire, a pop-up tent, side curtains, Jalousie windows, a sink, two cooking elements, a refrigerator, cabinetry, and a Pioneer CD stereo. Services performed in 2021 are said to have included replacement of the clutch cable, accelerator cable, horn assembly, alternator, battery, antenna, and heater plumbing. The bus reportedly spent time in California and Oregon before it was acquired by the seller in September 2020. This Type 2 Westfalia shows 76k miles and is offered at no reserve with manufacturer’s literature and a clean Oregon title in the seller’s name. The body is finished in orange with a white roof and bumpers. Equipment includes a front-mounted spare tire, a roof-mounted Westfalia pop-up tent, and Jalousie side windows. The seller states that the bus was repainted under previous ownership and that the antenna was replaced in July 2021. Steel 14″ wheels with chrome VW hubcaps are wrapped in 185-series Nexen Roadian CT8 tires. Braking is handled by front discs and rear drums. The cabin features orange tartan cloth and vinyl upholstery with a black dashboard and door panels. Equipment includes a Pioneer CD Stereo, cupholders, and rubber floor mats. The seller states that the driver’s side window mechanism does not work. The two-spoke steering wheel frames a gauge cluster with a 90-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 76k miles, approximately 2k of which were added by the seller. The horn assembly was replaced under current ownership. The seller notes that the fuel-level gauge reads inaccurately. The rear cabin features a rear bench that folds into a bed, a loft bed, wood cabinetry, a sink, dual cooking elements, a refrigerator, a folding table, and a rear heater. The seller states that the refrigerator and stove have not been used under current ownership, and their condition is unknown. The 1.8-liter flat-four was reportedly refurbished in 2017 under previous ownership. An intake assembly with dual Weber carburetors was added in 2020, and the alternator and battery were replaced under current ownership. An oil change was performed in July 2021. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle. Additional underside photos are provided in the gallery. Filed under: vw
