1992 Volkswagen Vans

1993 Volkswagen Type-2 Bay Window Kombi
The Volkswagen Type-2 Kombi holds a special place in American history and is an icon of the 1960s. Although sales of the Type-2 bus ended in the United States by the late 1970s, production carried on for an additional 25 years in Mexico and these buses were still being produced as late as 2013 in Brazil. This Volkswagen Kombi came out of the Brazilian plant in 1992 and was imported to the United States in 2021.
Finished in a beautiful shade of Ivory over a red interior, this Kombi is a rare barn-door example, where most of the Type-2s featured a sliding side door. Over time, this van has been subtly upgraded to give it that classic 1960s vibe, with body-color bumpers, a metal and wood roof rack with matching side ladder, and red painted wheels with chrome hubcaps and white wall tires. Additional custom work includes a pop-out windshield and pop-out rear window which were features on some of the older VW vans, and help aid in ventilation when youre driving in the summer.
The interior has been wrapped in red leatherette with matching red carpeting in the passenger areas. With two rear bench seats, this van can fit eight passengers, and all of the seats feature lap belts for some additional safety. Red and white checkered curtains are affixed to all of the side windows and rear window of the van, allowing you to hang out in the van without people looking in at you. Additionally, a heater has been added along with a modern stereo with a tablet on the dashboard to control the infotainment and back-up camera pre-wiring.
Powering this bus is a rear-mounted 1.6-liter air cooled flat-4 that produces an estimated 50 horsepower, which is sent through a 4-speed manual gearbox. In this bus, the transmission has been upgraded with an extended-length billet shifter for easier shifting, and the engine has been upgraded with a great sounding sport muffler. One of the major benefits of getting a later-production van like this is the addition of front disc brakes which provide far more confidence inspiring stopping than the 4-wheel drums that came before. Under current ownership, Buttera Motors in Kirkland, WA helped sort out some issues with the van and ensure it was running reliably.
Its hard to ignore the cultural impact the Volkswagen Kombi had on American motoring in the 1960s and 1970s, and the significance is many times greater elsewhere in the world. These days, many restored VW Buses have values reaching towards the 6-figure range, yet are really no different from behind the wheel to this more modern Brazilian example. If you want a Bus to pile the whole family in and have fun, its hard to imagine a better example than this 1992 Type-2.
