“This center aisle 1975 VW van is in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition, documented by a VW Certificate of Production confirming its originality. Extensively restored and maintained by a physician for over 17 years, the vehicle comes with a comprehensive service file. Notable work includes a rebuilt engine, floor replacement, new upholstery, and new paint. The van features a 1.8L fuel-injected engine, 4-speed manual transmission, front disc brakes, and an updated sound system. The original radio, mirrors, manuals, and a bike rack are also included. Notably, the 1975 model is the first year for fuel injection and the final year for smog exemption in California.

Vehicle Highlights:

– Exterior: Repainted in original Kasan Red and Pastel White. All rust was professionally repaired, and the wheels and roof were sandblasted. Features a new windshield, updated rubber trim, and new window scrapers.

– Interior: New seat pads and covers from Wolfsburg West, original rubber floor mats, and original door panels. All interior plastic pieces are original, NOS, or OEM reproductions. Includes a new dash pad, steering wheel, and glovebox.

– Mechanical: Recently replaced components include the muffler, starter, fuel pump (April 2026), tie rods, CV joint boots, and master cylinder. The braking system (discs, calipers, pads, drums, and hoses) and fuel lines have also been refreshed.

– Upgrades: Front sway bar for improved handling, factory-correct clock, H4 headlights, retracting seat belts, and a retro radio with an MP3 jack and 200w amplifier. This VW van runs and drives as well as it looks. You can view a video test drive here:
