A ????stereo with CD player was installed so you can listen to music while cruisin????????. This is a great looking and great running custom VW Bus. In late 1967 the second generation of the Volkswagen Type 2 was introduced. It was built in Germany until 1979. This second-generation Type 2 lost its distinctive split front windshield and was slightly larger and considerably heavier than its predecessor. Its common nicknames are Breadloaf and Bay-window or Loaf and Bay for short. At 1.6????L and 35????kW (48????PS; 47????bhp) DIN the engine was also slightly larger. The battery and electrical system was upgraded to 12 volts making it incompatible with electric accessories from the previous generation. The new model also did away with the swing axle rear suspension and transfer boxes previously used to raise ride height. Instead half-shaft axles fitted with constant velocity joints raised ride height without the wild changes in camber of the Beetle-based swing axle suspension. An important change came with the introduction of front disc brakes and new road-wheels with brake ventilation holes and flatter hubcaps. The air inlets were also enlarged to accommodate the increased cooling air needs of the larger engines. The 1978 2.0????L now featured hydraulic valve lifters eliminating the need to periodically adjust the valve clearances as on earlier models. 1978 was the first year for electronic ignition utilizing a hall effect sensor and digital controller eliminating maintenance-requiring contact-breaker points. As with all Transporter engines the focus in development was not on power but on low-end torque. The Type 4 engines were considerably more robust and durable than the Type 1 engines particularly in Transporter service. This bus was designed to be a daily driver that can pull into any VW car show grab a trophy and then head to the beach and hit the surf.
