1956 Volkswagen Bus for sale! Motorcar Classics is proud to present this 1956 Volkswagen Type 2 23-Window Transporter, a rare piece of Volkswagen's history. As one of the last hand-built transporters to roll out of the Wolfsburg plant before production transitioned to another automated assembly plant at Johannesburg, Bavaria, this bus holds a special place in Volkswagen's legacy. Imported to Texas in April 1956, it boasts a unique rear transmission mount crossmember that distinguishes it from the later automated assembly transporters, a telltale sign of its hand-crafted origins and collectibility. This dry-state vehicle has spent its entire life in the arid climates of Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, resulting in a completely rust-free body - a true rarity for a VW of this vintage. Still bearing its Arizona title, this meticulously preserved and beautifully restored Type 2 offers collectors and enthusiasts alike the opportunity to own a piece of Volkswagen's storied past. With its 23 windows providing ample natural light and panoramic views, along with a full sunroof, this Transporter embodies the spirit of adventure and freedom that made these vehicles iconic. Featured in black over red with beige interior, this is arguably the most desirable color combination. A period-correct rooftop luggage rack, and wide whitewall tires complete the classic look. For improved performance, and safety, the bus is upgraded with a circa 1970 VW 1,600 cc motor. Don't miss this chance to acquire a pristine, hand-built example of one of the most beloved and recognizable vehicles in automotive history.
