1965 Volkswagen Type 2 Deluxe 21-Window

This 1965 Volkswagen Type 2 Deluxe 21-Window Microbus has been completely refurbished, finished in Velvet Green (L512) and Pearl White (L87). 'Samba', as the 21-window model was affectionally called, was produced between 1964 and 1967. Fitted with a cloth sunroof, it is considered by many to be the rarest and most desirable of the Microbus variants. Not only has this 'Samba' been cosmetically restored, but the mechanicals have also been rebuilt and modernized.

A new fabric top complements the striking two-tone green/white exterior of this 21-Window, 14” Hancook Kinergy radial tires mounted on painted steel wheels, Safari windows, driver/passenger side mirrors, and front and rear painted bumpers with overrides and rubber insets.

The beige/green interior features split walk-through front seats, with two rear bench seats, new rubber floor mats, a 4-speed manual shifter, a clock, and a Sapphire I AM radio. Side windows slide open and closed, and the Safari two-piece windshield can adjust outward for increased ventilation.

This 'Samba' is powered by a new engine that maintains a stock appearance but has been invigorated to 125 HP. The power train features 74 stroke and 88 bore modifications, a CB Performance cam, German 88MM Type 1 pistons and cylinders, and a rebuilt 4-speed manual transmission. New brakes bring the vehicle to a halt. Semi-elliptical leaf springs with shocks and coil springs provide stability.
