Car Story - Full Restoration 1977 Volkswagen T2 - California Wildfire Survivor

Volkswagen of America unveiled a restored white-over-blue 1977 T2 microbus that became an unexpected symbol of resilience after surviving the January 2025 Palisades Fire in Southern California. Making its first public appearance since its story captured hearts around the world, the restored T2 is now on display at the 2025 Los Angeles Auto Show for Volkswagen, marking a poignant moment for Volkswagen and its community.

With help from the VW enthusiast community, Volkswagen of America connected with the T2’s owner, Megan Weinraub, to assess the safety and condition of her vehicle. After receiving necessary approvals to enter the Malibu neighborhood where the vehicle was parked, Volkswagen transported the bus – affectionally referred to by Megan as Azul – to the Volkswagen Group of America Oxnard Facility. The Oxnard facility is home to Volkswagen of America’s collection of historic vehicles, making it an ideal home base for a detailed assessment of Azul’s true condition.
