The 1977 Volkswagen T2B embodies the essence of the ’70s and the character of Volkswagen like no other. One of the last models in the legendary T2 series, the T2B grew to become an icon on the road and a symbol of freedom and adventure. This particular example is a rare pickup version, which combines the rugged look of the classic bus with the functionality of a workhorse. Unlike the common van, the pickup version is less commonly found, making this model extra special for collectors and classic Volkswagens enthusiasts.
What makes this T2B unique is the combination of the iconic T2 design with a thoughtful, weather-resistant wooden body. Not only does this superstructure add practical capabilities, but it also enhances the pickup's aesthetic charm, with warm wood that beautifully complements the Volkswagen's distinctive lines. The canvas cover provides additional protection from the elements and makes the cargo area easily accessible. This makes the pickup suitable both for everyday use and for enthusiasts who want to own a classic but functional Volkswagen.
The 1977 T2B pickup retains all the characteristic elements that make the Volkswagen T2 series so beloved: the striking front end, the large panoramic windshield and the distinctive sliding door. The pickup version adds a tough and functional aspect, ideal for enthusiasts who want to use their Volkswagen not only as a classic, but also as a practical means of transportation. Thanks to its robust construction and impressive payload, this T2B is a reliable companion, both for businesses and adventurous owners.
As with all T2 models, the T2B is known for its simplicity and reliability. The 1.6-liter engine may not be a speed wonder, but it is indestructible and extremely practical to maintain. Thanks to its solid construction, spacious interior and uncomplicated technology, the T2B was used widely, from commercial vehicle to motorhome and from transport vehicle to recreational vehicle. This model is therefore much more than just another bus: it is a piece of Volkswagen history with a unique character and enduring appeal.
In addition to its practical qualities, the T2B was also a beloved vehicle among the youth of the ’70s, who associated it with freedom, adventure and the open road. Whether it was a road trip through Europe or a weekend camping trip in nature, the T2B was the ideal means of transportation for those seeking adventure. The pickup version adds an extra dimension of versatility, without sacrificing the charm and appearance that make the Volkswagen Bus so iconic.
