1965 VW Van 21
Few vehicles in automotive history evoke the sheer joy and nostalgia quite like the 1965 Volkswagen 21 Window Deluxe Microbus, fondly known as the Samba. Originally designed for Alpine touring, this iconic microbus continues to captivate hearts today, eliciting smiles from the seasoned travelers, cheers from the youth, and peace signs from all in between. Meticulously restored to its former glory, this Samba serves as a delightful reminder of simpler times and stands as a prized possession for discerning collectors.
Draped in the rare and striking Velvet Green and Blue White hues, the exterior of this beauty boasts a flawless mirror shine. Complementing its vibrant exterior, the interior is adorned in harmonious Mesh Gray, striking a perfect balance of elegance and charm. Featuring the coveted walk-thru layout, every seat has been meticulously refurbished and reupholstered, with attention given to replacing the headliner and installing shoulder belts for added safety by a seasoned professional. Any traces of rust, though minimal, have been expertly addressed with top-quality metal and carefully coated, ensuring longevity and durability. Upgrades such as new seals and rubber for doors and windows, along with added insulation for enhanced soundproofing and comfort, further elevate the driving experience. While a few minor blemishes may linger, they are meticulously documented in accompanying photos.
Powering this timeless beauty is a robust 1600cc engine, boasting an odometer reading of 11,900 miles but with less than 500 miles clocked since a thorough rebuild. Starting reliably every time, the engine has been upgraded to a 12-volt battery system, ensuring smooth operation. Despite its vintage appeal, equipped with a Big Nut transmission, this microbus effortlessly cruises at speeds of 65-70mph on the open road. Completing the retro aesthetic, new tires mounted on white powder-coated rims and adorned with chrome hubcaps enhance its vintage allure.
Fitted with an array of genuine New Old Stock (NOS) parts, save for a few out-of-market latches, this Samba exudes authenticity and attention to detail. As with any classic vehicle, the scarcity of parts underscores the importance of careful maintenance and preservation, making this meticulously restored microbus a true treasure for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
