1961 Volkswagen 23 Window Custom Microbus Re-Creation

This 1961 Volkswagen 23-window custom microbus re-creation is powered by an air-cooled four-cylinder engine producing approximately 65hp, paired with a restored four-speed manual transmission. A performance-style shifter provides quick, precise gear changes. Mechanical upgrades include an aluminum crankshaft pulley, alternator pulleys, a new carburetor, distributor, ignition coil, spark plugs and ignition wires. The suspension, steering and braking systems were completely restored using new, genuine Volkswagen components, and the electrical system was upgraded to 12 volts. It rides on new tires mounted to 15-inch RDW Classics sport wheels with a 5x205 bolt pattern and has a slightly lowered suspension. Restored by A&J Revival, the Volkswagen received structural, mechanical, electrical and cosmetic work that included comprehensive body restoration, sheet-metal replacement and a rotisserie restoration. It is finished in two-tone Volkswagen Lotus White and Mystic Green with a high-end paint finish. Exterior features include the 23-window configuration, a large retractable panoramic canvas sunroof and a split windshield with dual chrome-trimmed safari-style front openings. The interior was completely refurbished, with the original seating restored using new springs and foam, then upholstered in eco-friendly Emerald Green and Mystic Green vinyl with traditional Volkswagen-style stitching. Ivory-white door panels and a matching headliner complete the cabin. It is accompanied by certification and supporting documentation from Volkswagen do Brasil.
