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
