1963 Volkswagen Samba -- Description

This 1963 Samba 23-window has undergone a complete rotisserie, nut and bolt, no expense spared restoration. The vehicle was restored to all period correct specifications and standards with a new upgraded VW modern technology 140hp 2,005cc crate engine. Included with the vehicle is also a 1,500cc period spec completely restored engine. Front and rear safari windows increase the rarity of this vehicle which has been written up as one of the most thorough restorations available. Living most of its like in Southern California, this 23-windows is rust-free and shows better than the day it was delivered new. For a true collector, there is no better Samba on the market today.
The most luxurious version of the Transporter I vans offered by VW, the Samba was designed for transporting tourists through the Alps. The van is, undoubtedly, one of the most iconic vehicles of the twentieth-century. VW designed the Samba to be most comfortable for its occupants. The "hat" at the front of the van's roof was designed as a sun shade for drivers with the fabric sunroof available to provide air and light on pleasant days. The Samba's dashboard was more comprehensive and detailed than its predecessor's and passenger areas were designed to be roomy and comfortable.
