Volkswagen Bus (Feuerwehr-Fire Truck) 1959 Price: 90000
|
This 1959 Volkswagen Type 2 was reportedly used by the Kirchheim unter Teck fire department in Germany for approximately 40 years before it was imported to the US under previous ownership. It subsequently underwent a refurbishment before being purchased by the current owner out of Wyoming in 2021. Finished in red over gray upholstery, the bus is powered by a 1.2-liter flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. Features include 14" steel wheels, trafficators, a front spotlight, Bosch horns, a blue Hella emergency light, a roof rack, a Magirus water pump, a wooden rear bench, and a single rear jump seat.
The bus is finished in red with painted German-language fire department graphics on the doors. Equipment includes black-painted bumpers, a front-mounted spotlight, Bosch horns, a split windshield, a blue Hella emergency light, and mud flaps. The Bekowa roof rack features wood slats, and it is mounted with drafting hose sections. The trafficators will require service,
Black-finished 14" steel wheels wear chrome hubcaps and are mounted with Yokohama Super Van 356 tires, while a spare wheel is stowed behind the front bench seat. Stopping power is provided by drums at all four corners.
The front cabin features a bench seat trimmed in gray vinyl along with a color-matched cabin divider, kick panels, and door cards. Additional equipment includes a black rubber floor mat, an overhead console, and a German firefighter’s plaque on the cabin divider. The black two-spoke steering wheel frames a VDO 100-km/h speedometer, and the five-digit odometer shows less than 28k kilometers (~17k miles). Total mileage is unknown.
The rear cabin is finished in gray and features a wood-slat rear bench along with a single jumpseat on the front bulkhead. Holes in the cabin divider can be seen in the gallery.
The 1.2-liter flat-four is said to have been rebuilt under previous ownership, and it was factory rated at 36 horsepower.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transaxle.
German Feuerwehr uniforms are included in the sale along with a factory service manual.
