Summary
This unique 1959 Volkswagen Type 2 was a fire truck for 40 years in Germany before being imported to the US and undergoing a refurbishment. It features a 1.2-liter flat-four, a four-speed manual transaxle, and period-correct fire-fighting equipment including a Magirus water pump, roof rack, and emergency lights. The vehicle shows less than 28k kilometers on the odometer, though total mileage is unknown.
