| The facts of Volkswagen Transporter Today, it's the fact... |
| Prices for mint early Volkswagen type 2 are getting higher and higher. Even if you want to buy the rusty wrecks it's will drain your pockets "very deep". May be on dollars, worth on 2–10 with triple zeros on behind, excluding other costs like restoration or shipping. The older they get more and more expensive. So, if you come across an Ad selling a T1 bus on running condition, from various years and variants, with the price under 6000 USD, be careful, *positive..., that means is fake, fraud ads or scam indicator. Action should be taken "leave it or report to admin", but if you're curious and want to convince yourself and have thought this bus it's real, you should come to see the bus directly... |
Talk less do more..., let's have a look at variants of the legend
First, you need to know about T1, which is first generation of the family.
- Many variants are not for the civilian market, like ambulances, police cars, hearses, crane trucks, fire trucks, and even the VW bus on the railroad track.
- Doors version, the customer could be ordered on either or both sides (double door).
| Variants of T1 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| T1A | ||||
| Character | Barndoor | |||
| Production | 1950–1955 Wolfsburg (Germany) | |||
| Description | Volkswagen transporters were not as popular as Beetles, and in the first 5 years of production, there were 4 times fewer Buses built than Beetles. The Buses (and all other transporters) produced before 1955 had characteristically large engine access doors. Today, they are largely known as "barndoor" buses. Some people think that barndoor is supposed to be a reference to the side doors, but it is a misconception. These early barndoor transporters are very rare today. |
