1961 VW BUS TYPE 2 VAN TWIN DOUBLE DOOR RARE

1961 Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon Additional Info:

This 1961 Volkswagen Type 2 is a twin double-door panel van that had camper windows installed upon original delivery.
It is finished in pink and white and powered by a 1,600cc dual-port flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. The bus was acquired in Montana by 2009 and relocated to California. Work done during the refurb included a repaint, replacement of the engine, and installation of a lowering suspension.
Features include Safari windows, dual chrome side-view mirrors, camper windows, aftermarket gauges, a deep sump, and an oil cooler along with Wolfgang International swing arms and front spindles.
The 15″ powder-coated white wheels wear pink VW-branded hubcaps and 195/60 front and 195/65 rear Bridgestone Potenza G019 GRID tires.
The bus was refinished in pink and white, and exterior equipment includes powder-coated white bumpers with overriders, dual chrome side mirrors, driver and passenger-side barn doors, and front and rear safari windows. The driver’s door lock is broken and damage to the rear of the van is detailed in the gallery as somebody left me a small dent in the right rear awhile ago.
The cabin features a front bench upholstered in black vinyl joined by matching rubber flooring and a body-colored dash. Amenities include sliding side windows, an overhead fresh-air box, and an aftermarket cup holder.
The rear interior is a blank canvas that is ready for the new owner to take it to the next level.
Dual swing-out side doors provide access to the rear compartment that features a wooden bench with a folding backrest.
The two-spoke steering wheel fronts a VDO speedometer. A tachometer and auxiliary gauges for oil pressure and temperature are mounted in an overhead panel. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 59k miles and total mileage is unknown.
Power is provided by a replacement 1,600cc dual-port flat-four which features a deep sump, a full-flow oil filter, and a 96 plate oil cooler. Service in April 2021 included rebuilding the carburetor, replacing the spark plugs and fuel filter, and an oil change.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle with a 4.37 final drive and .82 4th gear. Additional underbody photos are available in the link listed below as well as a startup and drive video.
