The facts of Volkswagen Transporter
Today, it's a fact...
The Volkswagen Transporter is becoming increasingly expensive, even for rusty wrecks. Mint early Volkswagen Type 2s are in high demand, with prices ranging from 2-10 thousand dollars, excluding the costs of restoration and shipping. The older the vehicle, the more expensive it becomes.
If you happen to find an advertisement for a T1 bus in running condition with a price under $6,000, be cautious. It's likely a fake, fraud, or scam. You should either leave it or report it to the admin. However, if you're still curious and want to verify the authenticity of the bus, you should see it in person.
Let's take a look at the different versions of the legendary T1.
The T1 is the first generation of this family.- Some of the variants are not meant for the civilian market, such as ambulances, police cars, hearses, crane trucks, fire trucks, and even the VW bus on the railroad track.
- The customer had the option to order single or double doors on either or both sides.

1950–1955 Wolfsburg (Germany) |

| During the first five years of production, Volkswagen Transporters were not as popular as Beetles. As a result, only a quarter of the number of Buses were built compared to Beetles. The Transporters produced before 1955, including the Buses, were known for their large engine access doors. These early models are now often referred to as "barndoor" buses. However, this term is often misunderstood to refer to the side doors. Due to their rarity, these early barndoor transporters are highly valuable today. |

| In December 1951, Volkswagen introduced an ambulance version to its Type 2 lineup. This model came with several modifications, including relocating the fuel tank to the front of the transaxle, implementing a rear door in "tailgate" style, and placing the spare tire behind the front seat. These features were eventually made standard in all Type 2 models manufactured between 1955 and 1967. 11805 Type 2 units were built in 1951. In August 1952, a single-cab pickup was added. This pickup remained unchanged until all units were heavily modified in 1968. |
