1967 Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi - Grey and White - 55,541 Miles - 1.5L Horizontal 4-Cylinder, 4-Speed Manual
Overview
The Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi represents one of the most iconic commercial vehicles ever produced. Launched in 1950 and refined through the 1960s, the T1 generation defined the people mover category and established the template for the modern van. This 1967 example is a genuine period piece from the final years of the first-generation run, before the T2 redesign of 1968. The Kombi variant, with its eight-seat configuration and spacious cargo area, was the workhorse of families, small businesses, and adventurers throughout the 1960s and beyond. Today, original T1 Kombis are increasingly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors who value their simplicity, reliability, and authentic period character.
This particular example presents as a solid, honest restoration project. The two-tone grey and white livery is period-correct for the era, with the paint showing the patina consistent with age and use. The bodywork is structurally sound with no obvious signs of major corrosion or accident damage visible from the exterior. The iconic split windscreen and characteristic rounded roof line are intact and unmolested. The odometer reads 55,541 miles, suggesting moderate use over its 57-year lifespan. All four doors operate, and the original window frames and trim are present. The interior retains the original bench seating configuration across eight positions, with the characteristic woven fabric upholstery showing appropriate wear for a vehicle of this age. The steering wheel is original, and the dashboard layout is unmodified. The engine bay houses the original 1.5-litre air-cooled horizontal four-cylinder engine with its distinctive cooling fan shroud and carburettor setup. The 4-speed manual transmission is present and the clutch engages smoothly.
In the current classic vehicle market, original T1 Kombis in restorable condition typically command prices between AUD $18,000 and $35,000 depending on originality, condition, and completeness. This example, with its original engine and transmission, unmodified interior, and solid structural foundation, represents genuine value for a buyer seeking an authentic restoration project or a foundation for a sympathetic rebuild. The T1 Kombi market remains strong, with enthusiasts valuing originality and period-correct specifications above modern modifications.
