This 1974 Volkswagen Type II Custom Bus is a build that swaps its original air-cooled roots for modern American muscle. Finished in a classic two-tone blue and white PPG basecoat/clearcoat, it maintains a vintage look while sitting aggressively on a 2-inch lowered front axle and 17-inch Porsche EMPI wheels. The real story is under the skin: it features a mid-mounted, fuel-injected Chevrolet Vortec V-6 paired with a Turbo 350 automatic transmission and a heavy-duty 10-bolt rear end. This setup transforms the Bus from a slow cruiser into a reliable, high-performance machine. Inside, the cabin blends utility with luxury, featuring a custom suede headliner, Vintage Air climate control, and a tilt steering column with electric power steering for effortless handling. The driver’s experience is modernized with AutoMeter gauges, a Lokar shifter, and the safety of front disc brakes. With an aluminum radiator and custom fuel tank, this Bus is fully engineered for long-distance, worry-free touring.
