The 1970 Volkswagen Type 2 Riviera Camper is a classic, dependable road trip companion that embodies the spirit of freedom and simplicity. Built on the iconic Volkswagen Type 2 Microbus platform, this green and white camper van is not only a functional and fun vehicle but also a nostalgic piece of automotive history. The Type 2 Microbus was a cultural icon of the Sixties and Seventies, known for its laid-back persona and versatility. This 1970 Riviera Camper edition features classic design elements such as louvered windows, Beetle-style headlamps, chrome rings, and white steel wheels with chrome half-caps, which give it an unmistakable vintage charm. The flat body panels and compact size make it easy to maneuver in tight spaces. A full-size spare wheel ensures you’re ready for adventure without worrying about breakdowns. Inside, the camper’s tan interior offers practicality and comfort. It features rear bench-style seating, a “Rock-N-Roll” bed that folds out to create sleeping space, and dual cup holders for convenience. The interior also comes with a retro-modern style radio to set the mood for your travels. The Riviera Pop-Top is a standout feature, providing additional headroom and a canvas tent that creates a comfortable sleeping area or extra space for lounging when needed. This camper is powered by a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated flat-four engine located in the rear of the vehicle. The air-cooled engine is mated to a Solex single-barrel carburetor, ensuring the engine runs efficiently without the need for complex cooling systems. The power is delivered to the rear axle through a 4-speed manual transmission, keeping the driving experience true to its vintage roots and making it a pleasure to cruise along scenic roads.
