Ground-Up Restored Type 2 VW Bus 2000cc 4-speed Air Conditioning ///

This 1977 Volkswagen Type 2 Bus represents the final and most developed chapter of the bay-window era, built at a point when Volkswagen had fully refined the platform beyond its utilitarian roots. Instantly recognizable and culturally significant, the late Bus blends unmistakable design with improved drivability and real-world usability. Finished in era-correct red with a contrasting white roof, this Bus presents with a clean, cohesive look supported by restoration work that shows in its straight panels, consistent gaps, painted bumpers, and lowered stance. Fourteen-inch wheels with correct VW hubcaps complete the classic profile. Power comes from an upgraded 2000cc air-cooled flat-four paired with dual 2-barrel carburetors and a 4-speed manual transmission sending power through a factory-appropriate 4.12-geared transaxle, while power-assisted brakes with front discs add confidence in modern traffic. Inside, the original-style black vinyl interior is refreshed with new floor coverings and a headliner, retaining factory-style gauges while incorporating thoughtful upgrades. Vintage Air climate control, a Custom Autosound Bluetooth receiver, and red window curtains with subtle musical-note detailing add comfort and personality without compromising the Bus's simple, honest character. Seating for seven rounds out a late-bay Bus that strikes the right balance between originality and usability, offering an engaging, approachable classic that delivers charm and character modern vehicles have left behind.
