Type 2 Show Truck

Sunshine Special! Sweet Custom 1972 VW Type 2, 2.0L, 4-Speed

Welcome to Street Dreams as we embark on our 24th year in the classic and muscle car business. Volkswagen's Type 2, often called the Microbus in the U.S., was a forward control light vehicle that was the progenitor of today's passenger and commercial vans. Technically, the current T6 is the successor of the Type 2, but most enthusiasts regard the 1950-1978 air-cooled models as true Microbuses. The forward control design, placing the driver directly over the front axle, allowed an impressively large interior volume within a 94.5" wheelbase. To illustrate, 9 people can sit in some versions of a vehicle that has a 2" SHORTER wheelbase than the current Porsche 911! Our cheerful custom 1972 VW Type 2 can't carry 9 people, but this amazing little buggy is cooler than the other side of the pillow and attracts more attention than Lady Godiva! Powered by a later 2.0L engine (EP GE), this cruiser runs and drives beautifully, with the unique exhaust tone that only an air-cooled VW can generate. Additional features include a 4-speed manual transmission, T1-style pop-out split windshield and front fascia, pop-out rear glass, custom interior, and 195/60R15 tires mounted on classic EMPI alloy wheels. An absolute hoot to drive, this custom is ideal for parades, cruising the ranch with friends, or taking in a car show. If a classic VW with a sunny disposition appeals to you, call the team that can make your dream a reality. Ray-Bans and sunscreen not included. Street Dreams (830-997-1950) is a full service dealership that can assist with worldwide delivery, insurance, and financing options. We are having an auction on location 12/10/22.
