1977 Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon Bus Description

This 1977 Volkswagen Type 2 Bus is a great classic that became an icon thanks to both style and function. So while we all have fond memories of where we were when we saw our first Bus, the next owner also gets to discover how great they are to still use today. This is a legend on wheels. One of the reasons for such an enduring presence is that VW gave these a little extra presence. That tradition... continues here with the brown and white two-tone gives it an instant distinction. Even the wheels are painted to match with the white steelies with brown VW inserts painted on the tradition wheel covers. It has the kind of finish on the outside that makes this look like a true wanderlust traveler, which is part of the Type 2's mystique. But for those who want to upgrade, this also has the kind of price that leaves room in your budget. You see more of the classic-style presentation when you open the door. The front seats, steering wheel, and VDO gauges are pure classic VW. The only thing new you'll spot in the dash is an AM/FM/CD player, so that means you get to choose modern road trip music. These second-generation Type 2 Buses were nicknamed "bread vans" for their distinct shape that maximized interior space. That's why they make such great place to be a home away from home. An open middle section, padded rear bed, and provisions for a water sink suggest this one is on its way to be fully enjoyed at the campsite. The engine is Volkswagen's famous flat-four unit. This 1200cc unit has been given some nice investments recently, including a new carburetor and ignition components. It firs up nicely, and it has the unmistakably robust air-cooled soundtrack. The four-speed manual transmission allows you to take full control of the motor. Plus, owning a later second-generation Type 2 has its benefits out on the road, including an improved suspension and the stopping power of power brakes with discs up front. Always an icon, this can be great advertising for your business, or even a great way to drop out of the business world and hit the byways. The classic VW Bus is made to do it all, and this one does it for an affordable price. Call now!
