1961 Volkswagen Type 2 Panel Van – Twin Double-Door with Camper Windows | Pink & White

This unique 1961 Volkswagen Type 2 is a rare twin double-door panel van that was delivered new with camper windows installed. Finished in an eye-catching pink and white color scheme, the van is powered by a 1,600cc dual-port flat-four engine mated to a four-speed manual transaxle.

Originally acquired in Montana by 2009 and later relocated to California, this VW underwent a refurbishment that included a repaint, engine replacement, and a lowering suspension install.
