There is no doubt that the Volkswagen T1 is an icon of the automotive and hippie life, but when also is a peculiar as I bring you today, things improved unit to the absolute limits. We talk about the mini version of the classic van, a project born in 1986 but thanks to Gas Monkey Garage looks like new in the XXI century.
It has been auctioned this week in Las Vegas, under the range of the popular auction house Barrett-Jackson for a price of only $ 33,000, about 30,080 euros to change, and the truth is that I would not have minded as minimum her in my garage ...
All components were restored by the team of specialist aftermarket automobile in 2014, from the outside and the inside to the mechanics and suspensions, as before Richard Rawlings found her passed a few years abandoned to their fate. Since the auction house say that the model is "intended to show and display," but the truth is that this gem collector is perfectly manageable and is approved for use on the road.
Outside, the boys of Gas Monkey have replaced the layer of rust and oil by a two-tone paint in white and blue like the one sported the original T1 in its golden age, installing a new Volkswagen logo on the front to finish off the set . To this is also added new front and rear lights, bumpers and a carefully polished and varnished.
Inside, the coach has replaced the white plastic while experts Wagons West have upholstered seats again in a tone which they call Black Mountain to ensure that the micro van look like fresh from the dealership. Finally, under the hood we find a block 2.0-liter four-cylinder associated with a new four-speed manual transmission, although unfortunately not specified power.
Additionally, if you need to purchase some car gadgets, you can search via Banggood, which is one of the wholesale platform to provide affordable prices, such as car steering wheel bluetooth kit, yellow hose pipe, etc.
