A late-production 1967 Volkswagen Type 2 21-Window Samba Microbus, among the final examples of the first-generation split-windshield Deluxe model built before the body style was discontinued. Manufactured in November 1967 and exported to the eastern United States, it was subsequently acquired in California, where a comprehensive body-off restoration returned it to its original Titian Red and Beige Grey livery. By the time of sale, fewer than 215 miles had been accumulated since the restoration.
