The 1971 VW Bus is a “one of a kind year.”
The 1971 VW Bus is the most sought after VW Type 2 Bay Window Bus manufactured between 1968 to 1971
The 1971 is the First and Only Year that the VW Bus received dual port heads, mated to a new dual relieve case and a new oil cooler design.
Introduction of front disc brakes (Previous model were front drum brakes) and a 20-percent increase in the lining thickness of the rear drums. VW also installed a regulator in the rear brake circuit that functioned like an early anti-lock system to help prevent premature wheel locking in hard stops. Wheel width also increased by half-an inch, to 5.5 inches. Previous buses do not have this feature.
Introduction of the Steering Wheel locking ignition anti-theft device
