Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1965 Volkswagen Type 2 Microbus, repainted in Sea Blue and Blue White, features a recently overhauled 1,776cc engine and a 'Freeway Flyer' gearbox. It includes desirable upgrades like a straight-axle conversion, Fuchs-style wheels, and front disc brakes, alongside a restored interior with a convertible bed.
Despite extensive refurbishment, minor issues like hinge sag, steering play, and a faulty headlight dip switch are present. The vehicle also has noted wear on the carpeting, preventing a higher condition rating.
Condition

The car has undergone significant restoration including body, chassis, engine, and gearbox work. However, there are some noted issues such as hinge sag causing rubbed areas on the door jamb, play in the steering, and the headlight dip switch requiring repair. Carpet wear is also mentioned. These issues prevent it from being rated higher than 'Very Good'.
