AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

General

This 1964 Volkswagen T1 'Split Window' is an original USA-export with chassis number 1 255 158 and comes with the official Volkswagen Identity Certificate from the Stiftung AutoMuseum Volkswagen. The bus was built on February 24, 1964, left the factory on February 29, 1964, and was newly delivered in the United States. The attached California Title confirms the original American registration and ownership history. It is a properly documented example with a clear provenance and authentic factory data.

Bodywork & Paint Shop

The bus is fully restored and executed in the original two-tone color scheme. According to the identity certificate, the vehicle was delivered from the factory in L87 Perlweiß with Basaltgrau finish. The bodywork shows crisp sheet metal, neat panel fitting, and a well-maintained overall appearance. Bumpers, windows, trim parts, and lighting are in good condition and match the original look of this model.

Technical

The Volkswagen is equipped with an air-cooled four-cylinder boxer engine according to the original T1 specifications. The engine number is not registered on the certificate, which is correct for this model year. The engine bay is neatly maintained and fitted with renewed parts such as the ignition and fuel filter. The engine runs well, and the manual transmission operates correctly. The technology is simple and easily accessible, making maintenance straightforward.

INTERIOR:

The interior has been renovated in a period-correct style. The dashboard and controls are original in design, featuring the characteristic steering wheel and metal dashboard. The seats and interior panels have been reupholstered and give a fresh and well-maintained impression, matching the rest of the vehicle.

Documents

The vehicle is supplied with the original Volkswagen Identity Certificate, which includes all factory data, M-codes, and delivery information. Additionally, the original California Certificate of Title is present, confirming the American registration and origin.

AFHALING

The Volkswagen is available for viewing by appointment. Further details about the location and pickup can be discussed in consultation.

Other Information

This concerns a correctly restored and well-documented Volkswagen T1 ‘Split Window’ with USA export history. Thanks to the original specifications, authentic color scheme, and available documentation, this is an attractive example for enthusiasts or collectors of classic Volkswagens.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
