1984 Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi Bus

Description

This 1984 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.

The Volkswagen Bus is a rolling icon, but those of us who follow these also know the Type 2 Series 2 "Breadvan" stopped being sold in the 1970s. But they didn't quite get that message south of us. So all you have to do is look in Mexico, and you can find a genuine 1984 version like this. In practical terms, it means the classic style you love but everything is a bit younger. One of the best ways to show this is with the paint. It has the same kind of cool color combo as the 1960s and 1970s machines with avocado-like green. And the white roof is complemented by the bumpers and wheels for a comprehensive two-tone. But this is a more modern respray. So it's clean and bright to get some added attention. Clean glass, clean drip rails, and clean body lines all make this one look neat and tidy. So it's the kind of Bus you can proudly cruise, and it's up to you to tell others what year it's from.

The interior reminds you why these later Type 2s are often quite sought-after. You get the great classic VW pieces like the thin/grippy steering wheel and a tall shifter. But there are also nice updates like the Vanagon-style bucket seats that have a contoured high-back comfort. Durable rubber floors and a walk-through style to all three rows make this quite versatile. So it's useful from day one, and we bet you already have ideas on how to customize all this open space.

The engine is Volkswagen's famous flat-four unit. This later Type 2 means a larger 1800cc powerhouse. This fires up and runs with the VW's legendary heady and eager nature, and so you'll love the sound of the air-cooled hum. The smooth-shifting four-speed manual transmission, modern touring tires, and the stopping power of front disc brakes are all part of a road-ready attitude this Mexican Bus put forward.

This van isn't perfect, and the value price reflects that. The idea is that you can budget to add a modern stereo, update the passenger door, or other secondary details. And what you get from day one is a clean, cool, and classic Bus with a hardy nature that makes them an icon. So if you want a younger classic that has room for your personal touch, call today!
