1960 Volkswagen 23 Window Bus by Paul Nguyen

Paul Nguyen's 1960 Volkswagen 23 Window Bus is a unique blend of vintage charm and modern performance. Initially discovered through a barebones ad, the Bus was in need of a power upgrade. Paul collaborated with Victor at TheLab Air Cooled Speed Shop, fitting it with a 2276cc engine and twin turbochargers, boosting it to over 285 horsepower. The Bus features iconic Porsche Fuch wheels, enhancing its classic aesthetic. While the exterior remains mostly original, its performance now rivals that of a modern sports car. Paul enjoys the Bus as it is, with plans for a future restomod.
