THIS VEHICLE HAS SOLD!
www.rkmotors.c...
The beneficiary of a professional rotisserie restoration, this 23-window Kombi is a highly desirable rarity that affords one lucky VW enthusiast the ultimate opportunity to own an appreciating classic. If you're looking for some of the coolest, most unique and most valuable metal your money can buy, welcome to the 'people's car'!
BODYWORK/TRIM
The beneficiary of a detailed, concours-level restoration that included many authentic German components, this awesome Deluxe is about as close to ÐM­ultimateÐM­ as a classic can get. That rebuild, conducted by KAO Auto Styling of Las Vegas, Nevada, began with a solid body that was completely stripped, mounted to a rotisserie and worked for countless hours. Once those panels were super tight and exceptionally straight, smooth Pearl White and Mouse Gray 2-stage was rubbed to a mirror-like shine. And the end result is one extremely nostalgic collectable that exhibits classy, era-correct aesthetics.
ENGINE
Like its Beetle brethren, the Transporter is powered by an air-cooled, rear-mounted 4-cylinder that makes noise and fumes nearly non-existent for front passengers. Raise the hatch and you'll find a balanced and rebuilt boxer motor that clocks in at exactly 1,500 cubic centimeters. While modest, that upgraded powerplant is perfectly capable of maintaining safe highway speeds as it frequently achieves almost 30 MPG on stoplight-free, cross-country treks. At the top of the pint-size block, a vintage air filter pipes wind into a 1-barrel Solex carburetor. Below that carb, a fresh Bosch coil sparks a traditional points distributor that's equipped with authentic German plug wires. In front of that distributor, a pliable German belt spins a fully rebuilt generator. And the uniquely gated motor fires instantly and idles well thanks to upgraded 12-volt electronics.
DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
Since Type 1 Beetle pans proved too weak for the Type 2 Transporter, Volkswagen engineered a new ladder chassis with unit-body construction. At the front of the bus, rebuilt drum brakes sit at the edges of a completely rebuilt independent suspension. At the back of the bus, a professionally rebuilt Benco 4-speed hangs between new exhaust manifolds and two more rebuilt drums. And power meets the pavement through 15-inch painted steel wheels, which spin 165R15 Coker Classic whitewalls around ÐM­VWÐM­ stamped hubcaps.
INTERIOR
Open this rare people mover's curved doors and you'll find acres of tasteful Basalt Gray and Silver Beige plaid upholstery. At the front of the van, a Pearl White dash hangs a new church key below simple VDO telemetry, slick RetroSound audio and a Deluxe-exclusive VDO Kienzle clock. And in front of the driver, a restored steering wheel spins a monochromatic horn button above an original-style shifter.
This stunning, 23-window Microbus is a fully restored, fully sorted classic that's poised for many years of fun and appreciation. If you're looking for a blue chip collectable that's as unique as it is exclusive, call, click or visit RKMotors.com!

Reminded me back in the 90s (I believe) when I purchased a 23 window (bare shell with trans only) for 500 bucks. I didnt do anything with it so i sold it for same. Boy, if I only knew then what I know now about it's value 🤦‍♂️.
