Description
This 1985 Volkswagen Type II custom microbus is powered by a fully rebuilt air-cooled four-cylinder engine producing approximately 95hp, paired with a restored four-speed manual transmission and a new performance shifter. Performance upgrades include dual Weber 40 carburetors, an aluminum crankshaft pulley, upgraded alternator pulleys, a new distributor, ignition coil, spark plugs and ignition wires. The steering, suspension, electrical and structural systems were completely restored or rebuilt. A remote-controlled air-ride suspension system includes airbags, a compressor, tank, valve block and electronic management for adjustable ride height. The braking system was completely restored or rebuilt. The hand-restored body is finished in Volkswagen Metallic Pyrite Silver and features a large retractable panoramic canvas sunroof, double passenger doors and chrome-trimmed front-opening safari-style windshields. It rides on new tires mounted to 15-inch Gas Burner-style alloy wheels with a 5x112 bolt pattern. The redesigned cabin features restored factory-style seating for nine passengers with rebuilt springs, new foam and eco-friendly vinyl upholstery in Pyrite Silver and dark gray. Traditional Volkswagen stitching is joined by custom Ivory door panels and a matching headliner. A modern multimedia system features a touchscreen display and GPS. The electrical system was upgraded to 12 volts. This Volkswagen was comprehensively restored and professionally customized by A&J Revival and is certified by VW Brazil, verifying its specifications and restoration.
