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 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. The updated Bus transaxle is usually sought after by off-road racers using air-cooled Volkswagen components. The T2b was introduced by way of gradual change over three years. The first models featured rounded bumpers incorporating a step for use when the door was open (replaced by indented bumpers without steps on later models), front doors that opened to 90° from the body, no lip on the front guards, unique engine hatches, and crescent air intakes in the D-pillars (later models after the Type 4 engine option was offered, have squared off intakes).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSku: \u003c\/b\u003eOMH_AJ021\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCategory: \u003c\/b\u003eDécor\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eManufacturer: \u003c\/b\u003eOld Modern Handicrafts\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eShip Via: \u003c\/b\u003eFedEx\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eItem Dimensions: \u003c\/b\u003e12.5L x 4.75W x 7.5H Inches, Weight: 1.6 Lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCarton Dimensions: \u003c\/b\u003e14L x 6.5W x 8H Inches, Weight: 2.25 Lbs\u003c\/li\u003e","brand":"Home \u0026 Decor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47753787932925,"sku":"OMH_AJ021","price":109.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/6501\/8519\/files\/AJ021_20_1__81240.jpg?v=1782330362","url":"https:\/\/signjunky.com\/products\/1967-volkswagen-deluxe-bus-1-18","provider":"Sign Junky","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
