Paste link into a browser window: [isdntekvideo] 1965 Volkswagen Single Cab TransporterTurbo Diesel (TDI) Kennedy Engine Conversion “Safari” Bus with Bows for CoverRecent Refurbishment /Fresh Drivetrain VIN # 26507xxxx87,400 Miles on OdometerLess than 1,000 Miles on Full Engine Rebuild/RestorationLight Grey (L345) with Dark Green Trim AccentsMesh Grey Upholstery (83)4-Speed Manual Transmission with Freeway 4th GearClean and Clear Indiana TitleStraight and Dry ChassisThe VW Type 2 Transporter was first introduced in 1950. The first generation (T1) continued production through 1967. Many different variants of this bus were developed. However, the single cab with its flat-bed pickup and drop gate sides was particularly practical. It became popular alternative for many mobile tradesman, especially with the covered wagon style and dual lockers for storage. Although very economical, they were certainly not quick, especially compared to today’s modern traffic. This example solves that problem by combining all the charm of the vintage look with a much needed power upgrade, reliability, practicality, and fuel economy. This Single Cab was built on December 11th, 1964 and delivered to the U.S. via Seattle, Washington. It was ordered new with the following factory equipment:North America ExportUSA Sealed Beam HeadlightsTarp and Bows for Single Cab BedSecond Locker Hatch for Single CabOriginally, this bus was sold new in California where it lived the majority of its life. Eventually, it was relocated to New York and finally to Connersville, Indiana. It had been sitting for some time until about 8-years ago a long time VW enthusiast in Indiana located this bus and bought it. It sat at his shop for over 5-years until he finally got around to beginning the restoration. Apparently, someone had started the restoration and done part of the metal work. However, much more was needed. I recently had a long conversation with the builder and he gave me the details on the history and the build. Initially, he was going to build a SoCal-look lowered single cab, but he decided to go a different direction. 30-years prior, he had been heavily involved in the off-road jamboree scene and thought it would be great to build something that was more functional and different. He did not want to build a garage queen, but rather a cool looking VW that could act as a workhorse by hauling and towing as well as look great at local shows. For decades, he has been taking on similar projects. He takes his time and builds something cool. He is well respected among many in the vintage VW community for building unique, special, and high quality examples. Unfortunately, his last two builds (including this one) had to be sold when finished due to mounting healthcare bills. Highlights of this build include:Full rebuild on 1997 Passat 1.9L TDI engine: Rebuilt complete engine (top and bottom) for increased reliability H-beam connecting rods Double spring heads by diesel specialist Upgraded pistons and cylinders Oversized injectors Stock turbo Emissions delete ECU with stage 1 tuneAdditional highlights include:Griffin aluminum radiator under middle of bed floorAll AN aluminum fittings and linesCustom fabricated exhaust system exiting through engine coverRemote cabin heater with fans and water linesKennedy Engineering transaxle adapter kitBenco (new) transaxle custom built 3:44 ring and pinion .082 4th gear for freeway driving Erco gears New clutch kit/flywheelElectric powered bumper winchNew stock gas tank retrofitted for diesel fuelRestored body and chassis of transporterFull bare metal repaintBumper mounted fog-lightsRare 30’s spotlight retrofitted with LEDCustom slide out locker drawersWood trimmed bed with textured bed linerRestored upholsteryRestored 6V Ghia clock and converted to AA batteryDash A/C chargers with volt meterCustom auxiliary lighted gauge pod on ceilingRebuilt stock front bus suspensionFresh steering boxStock front and rear torsion barsCoil over rear shocks to handle extra load/towing30mm lift to clear tires (achieved by using beetle nose cone on transmission) Rebuilt stock brake systemNew EMPI front disc brake conversion kit includedNew complete front floorTSL Super Swamper tires (5) 29 x 8.50 – 15”He ended up selling this VW over a year ago to a close family friend of ours in Portland, Oregon. While visiting them last year, I had the opportunity to spend some time with this VW. I was impressed how good it looked and how much fun it was to drive. I’ve experienced my fair share of vintage VWs and although charming and well built, they tend to lack the performance necessary to just keep up with modern traffic. The builder of this example solved that problem by installing the TDI engine with the Kennedy transaxle kit. This allows for a modern VW diesel engine to fit a vintage VW bus. This turbodiesel engine was completely rebuilt using the best parts to ensure reliability. It produces around 130 horsepower and well over 200 pound feet of torque at 20 pounds of boost. This is more than double the horsepower of the original engine and triple the torque. This Single Cab is in excellent condition and ready to be enjoyed. The body looks great with minimal signs of use. The chassis and cab have been redone and show no signs of damage or rust. The cab floor was replaced with an entire new piece. The dog bones were also replaced. The chassis is very dry with no signs of corrosion. The side locker treasure doors have recently been replaced with high quality replacement doors. The pass-through storage area has wooden drawers that smoothly slide out and allow for plenty of storage. The chassis looks great with no signs of damage. There is a small area of rust on the front support for the front clip. It’s not structural to the overall vehicle and very minor. It appears all the glass is original and in great shape. The bed has a textured lining to protect it with new wood strips for loading. The bows on the bed are also refurbished and in good shape. The door rubbers are new and stick a bit when opening and closing. The factory vin stamping, M-code plate, and vin plate are all correct and original. All the exterior lights and winch work properly. The large spotlight is a rare brass unit from a 1930’s Chevrolet. It has been retrofitted with an LED unit that provides plenty of additional lighting for backroad driving. All 5-wheels have been restored and are wearing new tires. The brake system is completely restored and fresh.The interior is equally as nice and restored at the same time as the rest of the transporter. The upholstery looks correct with no signs of wear. The rubber floor mats are new. The door panels fit nicely. The speedometer and clock both work properly. The gauge light also works. The cab light has been upgraded to LED and works properly. The extra gauge cluster mounted above on the fresh air vent includes boost, water temp, and oil pressure gauges. The boost gauge does not operate as it needs hard mounted lines instead of rubber. The gauges all light up properly. The remote heater core installed on the dash works and has auxiliary fan controls to quickly heat up the cabin. The power controls for the winch are located on the dash parcel tray and they work as well. A combination volt meter, A/C charger, and USB charger are mounted on the dash. The volt readings are always on but have minimal draw.This VW truly hauls in every sense of the word. It starts easily on the first try and holds an even idle. The throttle response is immediate and the gobs of torque are felt as this bus easily keeps up with traffic. The transmission shifts smoothly with no grinding or slipping. The steering is surprisingly light even with the oversized tires. And, the road noise is relatively quieter than I expected. It tracks straight and is easy to cruise down the highway.
