1978 Volkswagen

Type 2 Champagne Edition



What We Like

Volkswagen’s Type 2 has been an automotive and pop-culture icon for decades. This rare Champagne Edition features a striking factory paint scheme, model-specific equipment, and benefits from a re-spray in its correct colors. Attractive details include color-matched wheels, corduroy seat inserts, and a multi-color fabric owner’s manual sleeve. The OEM radio and model-specific analog clock are still present and functioning. This Champagne Edition is ready to turn heads and "transport" its next owner back in time!

Seller Information

Vehicle History & Overview

The selling dealer acquired this Volkswagen Type 2 in January 2023 directly from its prior owner, who claimed to be the original owner. The uncommon Champagne Edition came finished in two-tone Fox Red over Date Nut Brown with tri-color stripes, while the interior features a Sienna Brown interior with contrasting tan corduroy inserts. The selling dealer reports this VW was repainted in its factory colors at some point, likely 10+ years ago. Volkswagen marketed the Champagne edition as a luxurious, practical family vehicle, and in addition to the special color scheme these buses also feature intermittent wipers, a clock in the gauge cluster, and chrome bumpers. A knit cover for the owner’s manuals is included.
