Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas is proud to present this beautiful 1972 Volkswagen Bus.

This is one of the cleanest VW buses you will ever lay your eyes on. This bus comes in a very classy shade of maroon and cream with accompanying new chrome accents. These buses are not known for their speed; however, this bus comes equipped with a freshly rebuilt 1974 2.0L Porsche 914 motor which makes 130HP, well over the stock 70HP. This makes the bus a lot of fun to drive when you're cruising down the road using the 4-speed manual floor shift transmission with ease. Once you get the van to a steady cruising speed, crank up the tunes through the upgraded, flip-up screen radio and CD player and enjoy the comfortable ride. The chrome is not the only thing newly refurbished in this sweet Transporter Van. The seats, carpeting, and headliner have all been redone recently making the van look like new on the inside. The color scheme of the interior is a great match to the exterior, being that it is maroon, cream, and black. This VW bus is a great find for any bus enthusiast or even someone who is looking at getting a VW van in great shape. It will check all your boxes and give you the experience of a lifetime. Other options on this gorgeous 1972 Volkswagen Transporter van include AM/FM radio with a CD player and digital screen, chrome hub caps, radial tires, an upgraded sound system, and a spare tire with a jack.

About Volkswagen
The Volkswagen story is indeed an intriguing tale of innovation, resilience, and post-war revival, marked by various models that have become iconic in automotive history.

The People's Car (Volkswagen): Initially envisioned by Adolf Hitler in the 1930s as a "people's car" or "Volkswagen" in German, the idea was to create an affordable and practical vehicle for the German people. This concept led to the development of the Volkswagen Beetle (or the Type 1), designed by Ferdinand Porsche.
Post-War Challenges: After World War II, Volkswagen faced significant challenges. The factory was heavily damaged, and the brand's association with the Nazi regime led to a lack of interest in the car in some regions.
British Intervention - The British Army & Ivan Hirst: The British Army took control of the factory in the immediate post-war period. Major Ivan Hirst, a British Army officer, played a crucial role in reviving Volkswagen. He recognized the potential of the Beetle and advocated for its production, convincing the British military to order several thousand cars. This decision helped jumpstart the brand's revival.
Export Success and the Beetle's Global Appeal: The Beetle gained popularity not only in Germany but also globally, becoming an icon of affordable motoring. Its simple, reliable design and unique appearance made it a favorite among consumers worldwide.
Model Evolution: Over the years, Volkswagen introduced various models alongside the Beetle, each contributing to the brand's growth:
Type 2 (VW Bus or Transporter): Introduced in the 1950s, it became an iconic symbol of the hippie movement in the 1960s, loved for its spaciousness and versatility.
Golf (Rabbit in the U.S.): Launched in the mid-1970s, the Golf (or Rabbit in the U.S.) marked a shift towards front-wheel-drive, modern design, and hatchback practicality, becoming a cornerstone of the brand's success.
Passat, Jetta, and Other Models: Volkswagen expanded its lineup with models like the Passat and Jetta, catering to different market segments.
Challenges and Innovations: Despite success, Volkswagen faced challenges, including quality issues in the 1970s. However, the brand continued to innovate and develop new models and technologies.
Rise of the GTI and Global Expansion: The 1980s saw the rise of the iconic Golf GTI, a high-performance version that sparked the hot hatch trend. Volkswagen also expanded its global presence during this period.
The British intervention in reviving Volkswagen after World War II played a pivotal role in the brand's resurgence. While there might have been some tensions or competition among automotive companies in the 1950s and 1960s due to Volkswagen's post-war success, the brand's ability to produce innovative and popular models solidified its place in automotive history.
