Vehicle Overview

This 1975 Volkswagen Type 2 is a Brazilian-market single-cab pickup that was restored and imported to the US under previous ownership. It was purchased by Milltek Corporation on Bring a Trailer in March 2023 and subsequently used as a promotional display vehicle at various shows and events. Finished in beige over black vinyl, it is powered by a 1.5L air-cooled flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. The truck has approximately 16,000 kilometers shown on the odometer and is offered with a clean Tennessee title in the name of Milltek Corporation.

Mechanical

Powered by a 1.5L air-cooled flat-four with a single downdraft carburetor and four-speed manual transaxle. The engine runs well. Power is sent to the rear wheels, with four-wheel drum brakes. A rust inhibitor was previously applied to areas of the underside.

Exterior

The truck was refinished in beige under previous ownership and features white bumpers, dual side mirrors, polished 15-inch Iron Cross-style alloy wheels and Nankang tires. The wide rear bed has wood accent strips, fold-down tailgate and bedsides, plus under-bed storage compartments.

Interior

The cabin features a black vinyl split bench seat with matching door panels, black rubber flooring, lap belts and sliding side windows. The truck retains its original-style two-spoke steering wheel and 120-km/h speedometer. It is not equipped with a heater.

It’s actually a genuine 1975, just a Brazilian-market build. VW continued producing the split-window Type 2 in Brazil much later than they did in Germany — the split-window body was still being produced there through 1975. That’s why it has the older V-shaped front, split windshield and earlier-style bumper that make it look more like a mid-60s truck. Brazilian-market Type 2s had a pretty different production timeline and retained a lot of the earlier styling. So definitely looks older than a 1975, but that’s what makes the Brazilian ones so interesting.

This does not look like a 1975. Front V and bumpers are more like 1965
