Authentic patina, iconic colours and tasteful mechanical upgrades.
This 1964 Volkswagen Splitscreen Deluxe is a real head-turner. Finished in the stunning colour combination of L380 Turquoise and L289 Blue White, this 8-seater Deluxe has plenty of character. Originally imported from the USA, the bus has been mechanically upgraded while retaining its authentic charm. Much of the original paintwork remains, preserving the unique patina that makes this VW so special.
Mechanical Upgrades & Suspension
Underneath, this Splitscreen has received several upgrades to improve handling, braking performance and driving comfort:
- Narrowed, adjustable front axle with dropped spindles
- Brake booster
- Disc brakes on all four wheels
- IRS rear suspension (Independent Rear Suspension)
- Adjustable rear spring plates
- Original Porsche Fuchs wheels
A mechanically upgraded classic with a fantastic low stance, without sacrificing its authentic appearance.
Powerful Engine
The bus is fitted with a lively engine featuring dual carburettors, sport air filters and a Vintage Speed sports exhaust. The exact engine displacement is unknown, so for sales purposes it is conservatively listed as 1,641 cc.
Deluxe Features & Special Details
This Volkswagen Deluxe bus comes with all the signature Deluxe features, including:
- Chrome trim along the body, rocker panels and bumpers
- Jail bars on the rear windows
- Original clock
- Chrome trim ring around the speedometer
- Large chrome VW emblem on the front
- Optional front Safari windows
- Original Sapphire radio
Interior
The interior was reupholstered some time ago, including the headliner, door panels, seats and bench seats. Everything is still in good condition and complements the character of this Splitscreen beautifully.
Original Character Meets Modern-Day Comfort
What makes this Volkswagen Deluxe special is the combination of its original appearance and thoughtful mechanical upgrades. The previous owner deliberately chose to preserve the patina rather than repaint the bus. This keeps its authentic character intact, while the various modifications provide improved comfort and usability in modern traffic.
A characterful VW Splitscreen Deluxe with all the right details, a unique appearance and exceptionally beautiful patina.
