This Volkswagen Type 2 Deluxe Microbus was completed on March 19, 1962, and was destined for Los Angeles. It is powered by a 1,600cc (1.6-liter) air-cooled horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine breathing through a single Solex Downdraft carburetor and delivering approximately 54 horsepower. There is a four-speed manual transmission, a torsion-bar suspension, and disc brakes at the front. It has a 12-volt alternator conversion plus the addition of a sunroof, roof and corner windows, and Safari windshield panes.
The current custodian treated the Microbus to a rotisserie restoration that was completed in 2016. The exterior is finished in turquoise on the lower section with blue white on top. The interior is in 'walk through' configuration with a front bucket seat and corresponding short middle seat. There is an updated radio, convenient power ports, and a Como Green and Phosphor interior.By Daniel Vaughan | Jan 2023
