1967 Volkswagen T1 Restomod
Classic soul – modern driving pleasure
Few vehicles symbolize freedom, adventure, and pure car culture quite like the Volkswagen T1.
From the surf beaches of California to the narrow streets of Europe, the iconic “Bulli” became the symbol of an entire generation. At the same time, it must be said that the handling of an original T1 today is primarily charmingly nostalgic.
This beautifully restored 1967 Volkswagen T1 solves that problem in the best possible way.
The van retains everything that makes the T1 so legendary—the recognizable design, the high seating position, the panoramic view, and the timeless appeal—while also benefiting from a meticulously executed high-end Restomod restoration that significantly improves reliability, comfort, and driving pleasure.

High-Quality Restoration
The van has undergone an extensive restoration in which a large portion of the body panels has been replaced with high-quality sheet metal, ensuring a solid and durable foundation.
The floor panels have been replaced, and the vehicle has received a thorough anti-rust treatment. The paintwork has then been treated with a ceramic coating to protect its deep gloss for the long term.
The beautiful black-and-silver two-tone paint perfectly complements the elegant lines of the T1 and gives the van a stylish and timeless look. The high-quality paint is finished in period-correct Porsche colors, a subtle detail that lends the van an extra touch of refinement.
Original parts such as the front doors and tailgate have been retained wherever possible, ensuring the van’s character remains intact.
What immediately stands out when you see the van in person is the quality of the restoration. The fit of the panels, the depth of the paint, and the meticulously executed details give the van a look that is difficult to fully capture in photographs.

A T1 that actually drives really well
Although the original handling of a T1 has its charm, the model was never known for its modern driving characteristics.
That is why this van is equipped with one of the best upgrades currently available:
Red9 Design independent front and rear suspension.
Combined with all-around disc brakes, this makes a world of difference compared to a standard T1. The van drives more stably, brakes significantly better, and feels much more confident in modern traffic.
The van also sits on attractive Fuchs-style alloy wheels, which give the whole vehicle a subtly sporty character.
It remains unmistakably a classic Volkswagen T1—but one that can keep up with modern traffic with ease.

Upgraded engine
Power comes from a lively 1635cc air-cooled boxer engine, equipped with twin Weber carburetors and producing approximately 110 hp.
For a vehicle that originally came with significantly less power, this ensures a surprisingly smooth driving experience, while the characteristic sound and feel of the classic air-cooled engine are fully preserved.

Beautiful Custom Interior
The interior has been completely rebuilt with great attention to craftsmanship and comfort.
The van features dark brown leather upholstery with a diamond pattern, matching door panels, an Alcantara headliner, a classic wooden steering wheel, and stylish wooden flooring. An Alpine audio system has been installed for added comfort.
The rear seat can be folded out into a full-size double bed, making the van perfect for weekend trips or spontaneous overnight stays.
Above the rear cabin, there is also a large sliding roof that spans nearly the entire length of the rear interior. This allows plenty of natural light to enter and creates a particularly spacious feeling in the cabin.
