Details
This 1973 Volkswagen 23-window microbus re-creation underwent a full body-off rotisserie restoration where almost every part of this microbus has been rebuilt. It is powered by a factory-original 1500cc 4-cylinder engine that has been completely rebuilt, mated to a rebuilt 4-speed manual transmission. Air enters the engine through a retro-era custom air filter and an aluminum crank pulley has been installed, along with an adjustable tensioner and generator pulley. A new carburetor, distributor and ignition coil have also been installed. The suspension, steering and brake systems were rebuilt with new original Volkswagen parts. The electrical system was completely redone and converted into a 12-volt system with an alternator, voltage regulator and battery. It rides on 14-inch original painted steel wheels with original chrome VW hubcaps. The entire frame and bodywork were fully restored before receiving a new two-tone paint job of Lotus White and Baby Blue. Details around the body include a VW logo, front grille, side mirrors, headlight grilles and wiper arms that are all-original, with a chrome finish to complete the exterior. It has a split windshield with safari-type opening front windows. Roof-mounted luggage racks on the front and rear and a removable steel ladder with wood steps add additional storage and retro style to the vehicle. The cabin has also been completely redone and is decorated with a new bespoke interior, including Ivory White door panels and a beige headliner. This bus has been updated with 23 windows and fitted with a new large retractable canvas panoramic sunroof. The seats are restored with new foam, springs and covered in ecological vinyl leather in Ivory White and beige. This microbus has double-load side doors and capacity for nine passengers.
