1974 Volkswagen Type 2 Camper Conversion

Description

Volkswagen introduced the Type 2 Transporter in 1950 as a multipurpose platform emphasizing practicality and versatility. Known globally as the “Microbus,” “Kombi,” or “Transporter,” it served both commercial and recreational uses. The second-generation Type 2, built from 1968 through 1979, featured a single curved windshield, improved suspension, and a longer wheelbase for stability.

This 1974 Volkswagen Type 2 is finished in a bright reddish orange with a plaid cloth interior and has been converted into a "camper", including a pop-top and room to sleep four. Power is provided by a 1.8-liter flat-four engine paired with a four-speed manual transmission. The interior includes period-style shag carpeting and plaid upholstery. The vehicle is equipped with an AM/FM radio and CD player, rear window defogger, and seatbelts for all occupants.
