1960 Volkswagen Type 2 Double Cab Pickup

Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this 1960 Volkswagen Type 2 Transporter Double Cab T1 Pickup Truck (or Doka, from the German Doppelkabine). This Doka was purchased out of California by the current owner in 2017; it was advertised then as a "no expense spared restoration" and it remains in beautiful, show-ready condition today. Finished in the lovely colors of Birch Green and Pearl White over a deluxe bus interior. Attention to detail abounds with many NOS parts used in the restoration and nice touches such as a "barndoor" steering wheel, shifter extension and Blaupunkt radio.

Paint and interior finishes are excellent over a very straight body. Correct interior materials were used and still show as freshly restored; custom coco mats overlay correct rubber floor coverings. Details such as tailgate and side gate hinges and latches, plus the finish in the engine compartment and bed floor are impressive. This example retains the early side gate stampings (1959 and early 1960).

Power comes from a dual-port 1600 bus engine that was advertised by the previous owner as being professionally rebuilt to 2100cc. It is running two Weber carbs and has been recently upgraded with a new distributor, tune up items and new fuel pump by a local VW specialist. The transmission has "freeway flyer" gearing; this along with the increased engine output allows for a T1 that you can actually drive on the highway and keep up with traffic around town. Porsche Mahle "gasburner" wheels are fitted along with front disk brakes. Invoices dating to 2000 are included along with two original owners manuals (one in English and one in German) and an original workshop manual. This split window is ready to be driven and shown; it turns heads everywhere it goes and needs nothing except for a new owner.
