There is something timeless about stepping into a classic Volkswagen bus and feeling the history and personality it carries. This 1966 13-window deluxe walkthrough is the kind of vehicle that sparks memories of road trips, sunlit campgrounds, and a slower, more tactile way to travel. Finished with a recent repaint and a like-new interior, it balances vintage charm with thoughtful upgrades that make it enjoyable to drive today. If you have been looking for an authentic 1960s VW bus with modern usability, this is worth a closer look.
Inside, the cabin presents very well, giving a near-new feel for its age. The deluxe trim has been removed for a cleaner walkthrough layout and the seating surfaces and panels appear fresh. A Pioneer retro-style radio with Bluetooth and upgraded speakers provide modern convenience without spoiling the classic look. Overall the interior reads as a well-cared-for, comfortable space ready for weekend drives or car shows.
Under the rear engine lid sits a 1776cc Type 4 powerplant that was swapped and rebuilt. The build included reduction gears and a Type 4 oil cooler to improve drivability and serviceability. The engine bay is notably clean and presents well. Power is routed through a 4-speed manual transmission to the transaxle, and the bus benefits from a rear sway bar addition for improved handling. Brakes are drum all around, and the tires are modern 205/75R14s mounted on 14 inch wheels. Expect a solid, driver-quality experience with the vintage air-cooled engines.
