VW Kombi Van Seeing Resurgence in Popularity

The Volkswagen Kombi van reached iconic status, with even a school lunch box fashioned in its image. During those early years, the Volkswagen Microbus morphed into various forms. From a cargo carrier with no windows behind the driver's seat to a windowed passenger van with three rows of seats, the possibilities seemed endless.

Classic Car Overview

I am the second owner and had it since 1998. Time for someone else to enjoy it and start new adventures. It was my daily driver for that entire time and has been very reliable with a few, to be expected, exceptions lol. Ive put some engine work into it and some nice comfort features. It has always been in California and Hawaii for 7 years so no significant rust, certainly none on the bottom or frame. Always garaged and original paint has held up remarkably well. Keep in mind it has the scratches and dings you would expect from a 40-yr old van with lots of use. It runs pretty peppy.

290K+ miles. Odo stopper working about 5 years ago.
New radiator, water pump, lines, power steering, low temp radiator fan sensor, catalytic converter (2024)
New transmission linkage (2025)
MansiSpeed Fuel Injectors (2021) and High-Performance Cams (2023) the reason for the pep made a huge difference.
Rebuilt Transmission (2020)
Head water seal replaced in (2020)
EPROM High Performance Chip (2021)
New High Voltage Starter (2018)
LED Headlights
Tow package
Wet Okole Custom seat covers all around heated in the front. Adds support and makes it feel new inside. These arent cheap and you can tell.
Hardware to mount surfboards on the inside above-head.
Z-Bed extends the last row to a queen bed
Swivel passenger seat
Removable table, optional
Brand new Kenwood Stereo, Bluetooth cell, and hands-free ready, JBL Speakers (2024)
Brand new Harmon Infinity Stereo Amplifier and adaptors (in box, not installed, if you want it)
Tire tread good
Bentley Manual
Registration good through July 2026

Disclosures: Front dash fan stopped working last month. AC is original so doesnt hold a charge that long. I top off the clutch cylinder in back about once a year. One lifter is sticky and clicks when cold, nothing wrong per my mechanic, just clicks. Everything else is great.

This van has character and has been well cared for. Its ready to bring joy and adventure to its next owner. No trades.
