At CombiKombi, our passion is bringing Brazilian classics to life and delivering them to enthusiasts around the world. Every vehicle has its own story, and every export represents a new chapter in its history.

Recently, we had the pleasure of preparing and exporting two special Volkswagen T1 Kombis to the port of Houston, United States: a 1973 model, carefully maintained and mechanically revised, and a 1974 model that underwent a complete restoration and customization process carried out by our team.

From restoration and preparation to container loading and international shipping, these two projects showcase different aspects of CombiKombi’s work with Brazilian classic Volkswagens.

1. Two Volkswagen T1 Kombis, Two Different Projects

The Volkswagen T1, known in Brazil as the Kombi Corujinha, is one of the most iconic classic Volkswagen models ever produced. Its unmistakable split-window design and timeless styling have made it a favorite among collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.

Although both vehicles belong to the same generation, each represents a different approach to classic ownership.

• Volkswagen T1 1973: A Brazilian classic in good overall condition, with its original air-cooled engine and gearbox, carefully revised mechanics, and a functioning electrical system.

• Volkswagen T1 1974: A fully restored and customized Kombi, with extensive work carried out by CombiKombi to renew its mechanical systems, body, interior, and finishing details.

Both vehicles were prepared for export and began their journey from Brazil to their new homes in the United States.

2. Volkswagen T1 1973 – A Classic Carefully Prepared for Export

The first vehicle is a 1973 Volkswagen T1 Kombi, representing the traditional character of the Brazilian Kombi Corujinha.

This example was in good overall condition and retained its original air-cooled engine and gearbox. Before export, its mechanical systems had been revised, and its electrical system was functioning.

Preserving the original character of a classic Volkswagen is an important part of its appeal. For enthusiasts who appreciate traditional engineering and vintage design, this 1973 T1 represents an opportunity to own an authentic piece of Brazilian automotive history.

Before shipping, the vehicle went through the necessary export preparation and logistics coordination to ensure it was ready for international transportation.

3. Volkswagen T1 1974 – Complete project

The second vehicle is a 1974 Volkswagen T1 Kombi, a project that highlights CombiKombi’s expertise in classic vehicle restoration and customization.

Unlike a vehicle that only requires basic preparation before export, this Kombi underwent a comprehensive restoration process carried out by our team.

The project involved extensive work across the vehicle’s main systems and components, with the objective of renewing its condition while preserving the unmistakable character of the Volkswagen T1.

4. From Workshop to Container: Preparing the Kombis for Export

Once the vehicles were ready, our team coordinated the final stages of the export process from Brazil.

Container loading, known locally as estufagem, is an important stage in international vehicle transportation. Proper positioning and securing are essential when preparing classic vehicles for their maritime journey.

CombiKombi coordinated the logistics surrounding the loading process and the subsequent transportation to the port, working with the partners involved in the shipment.

We also provided updates throughout the process, helping keep the export journey organized and transparent.

For the 1974 T1, this stage marked the next chapter of a project that began with a complete restoration and customization process. For the 1973 T1, it represented the international journey of a carefully maintained Brazilian classic.

5. Your Classic Could Be Next

The export of these two Volkswagen T1 Kombis highlights two important parts of CombiKombi’s work: preparing well-maintained classics for international shipping and carrying out complete restoration and customization projects.

Whether you are looking for a Volkswagen T1, T2, Brasília, Fusca, SP2, Puma, or another Brazilian classic, our team can help you find the right vehicle and organize its journey overseas.
