1997 Volkswagen Bus

This 1997 Volkswagen Kombi is a Brazilian-market example that was refurbished and modified under current ownership in Brazil before being imported to the US by the seller in April 2023. Work is said to have involved overhauling the air-cooled 1.6L flat-four, four-speed manual transaxle, suspension, and brakes as well as reupholstering the interior and repainting the body in two-tone green and white. Equipment includes a top-hinged windshield, a front roof basket, 14″ steel wheels, air conditioning, an aftermarket CD stereo, and a camper setup that includes a pop-up roof, a loft bed, a rear sleeping area, a power inverter, a Volkswagen-branded mini-fridge, a sink, folding tables, and storage cabinets. This Kombi is now offered with import documents and a Florida title in the name of the seller’s LLC. Rust repairs were performed and the body was repainted in its current two-tone green and white finish during the aforementioned refurbishment completed in Brazil. Additional exterior details include a top-hinged windshield, a front roof basket, a pop-up camper roof, passenger-side clamshell doors, a fold-out table, a shore-power connection, and white-painted bumpers with overriders. Green-painted 14″ steel wheels with VW-branded hubcaps are mounted with whitewall tires. Stopping power is provided by front discs and rear drums. The suspension and brakes were overhauled as part of the refurbishment, according to the seller. The forward cabin features a bench seat that was reupholstered with white and tan vinyl trim that extends to the door panels. An air conditioning system was installed as part of the refurbishment, and additional appointments include a wood shift knob, lap belts, and a CD stereo connected to aftermarket speakers. The two-spoke steering wheel fronts a VDO 150 km/h speedometer and supplementary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 85k kilometers (~53k miles), and total mileage is unknown. The rear cabin was modified as a camper including installation of bench seating, a folding table, woodgrain paneling, storage cabinets, and window curtains. The pop-up camper features a loft bed, and the kitchenette is equipped with a Volkswagen-branded mini-fridge, a sink, and a power inverter. The air-cooled 1.6L flat-four sends power to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle, both of which are said to have been rebuilt as part of the refurbishment completed in Brazil. Corrosion is visible on underbody components, and additional underside photos are provided in the gallery. The Florida title lists “Exempt” under the Odometer Status section.
