As a bona fide automotive symbol for an entire counterculture, this 1964 Volkswagen Type 2 21-Window Deluxe is about as iconic a ride as can be, and its distinctive configuration makes it even more so. The combination of its factory-correct, two-tone paint job and the open-air feeling conveyed by its multitude of windows gives you the impression that it was teleported into the present from its original era while transporting a group of sightseers across exotic territory. It's a very nice, fresh-looking presentation of a beloved classic, with well-aligned body panel gaps, doors that open and shut just as smoothly as they did when it first debuted more than 60 years ago, and brightwork that's been restored to top form.
Climb inside, and you'll be greeted by an interior that has been treated to the same level of care, with vinyl-clad bench seating that shows only slight wear, including the rear row, which may still be wearing its original cover. Take a look around and you'll see well-fitted door panels and rubber matting that's in great shape. Up front, the instrument panel houses a VDO gauge that displays its readings through a clear lens, and to the right of it, you'll find a period-correct AM radio that stands ready to be called upon to provide an era-appropriate audio experience.
You'd have to search high and low for quite some time to find a VW bus that drives as nicely as this one does. A glance at the engine compartment offers the first clue that it has also received plenty of attentive care, where you'll find its air-cooled 1500-cc powerplant sitting in the center of a nicely maintained bay. Fed by a factory-correct single-barrel carburetor, it really runs great, starting up promptly via a manual choke and idling smoothly. The accompanying 4-speed manual transmission shifts through the gears with no issues at all, and the clutch action is surprisingly smooth. When you're out on the road, this classic tracks arrow-straight, and the manual steering is more precise than you'd rightfully expect from a VW of its era.
