It’s always a surprise to me the cars and trucks that cause the most commotion here on GCFSB. Two weeks ago, we featured a 1971 Volkswagen T2 Single Cab that was the focus of a lot of attention on both our site and Facebook page. In the end, it turned out to be an affordable classic, with a final bid of $9,701. Now just a few days later, here comes a 1970 Double Cab for sale in Colorado that is in unrestored, yet very mint condition. Perfect for the small business owner that needs to tackle some light hauling while conserving fuel, this truck makes me long for VW to reenter the commercial vehicle space in the US.

The asking price of $27,500 is considerably more than the Single Cab brought at auction. I’m not sure the added cab space or unrestored condition is worth that much of a premium in this case. Realistically, somewhere around the $15,000 mark is more like it, but there are those who are laying out serious money for T2s of all kinds. Given that this truck is in original condition and depending on who gets involved in the bidding, the seller might just get close to his price.

I love the idea of VW coming back to the truck market, too, but sadly it would probably be through a joint venture with an American carmaker ala the Routan.
Matt, VW is in the truck market – just not in the U.S.
