This 1973 Volkswagen Type II 23-Window microbus re-creation was
built by Overland Imports and converted to a 23-window model as
part of a restoration completed in 2022. This vehicle received a
complete nut-and-bolt restoration, which included overhauling the
suspension, steering, braking and electrical systems. Belly pans
have also been added to match the specification of the German buses
and improve chassis rigidity. It is powered by a rebuilt 1.5-liter
air-cooled flat-4 engine mated to a 4-speed manual transmission.
The engine is equipped with a graduated crank pulley, as well as
adjustable tensioner and alternator pulleys. This microbus is
finished in two-tone Volkswagen Lotus White and black over a red
interior. It features a retractable vinyl roof, a side ladder, dual
side mirrors, safari-style flip-up front windows, pop-out side
windows and dual roof racks with wood slats and leather straps. The
interior has seating for nine with three rows of bench seating
upholstered in two-tone red vinyl, which extends to the side panels
and door panels. It also features an overhead ventilation console,
black carpeting and seat belts for all nine occupants. This bus is
riding on classic whitewall tires mounted on red steel wheels with
chrome VW hubcaps and trim rings. ** PREVIEW
