Our Transporters
The Iconic VW transporter
"Kombi"..."der bus"..."Van"..."Bulli"..."Hippie Bus"..."the Bread Loaf"
Folks are drawn to the Kombi's classic simple styling and consider it the definition of the 60's and 70's counter culture, where freedom of expression was embodied by a life of traveling the roads between music festivals and wherever the waves were breaking big.
Simple in design, yet versatile in utility, VW became recognized for affordable, stylish transportation for the masses, and came to represent
" A WAY OF LIFE"" seldom achieved and identified with other brands of its era. "The people's car"
Reborn vehicles are invested with details, and we insist on quality parts
to make our busses stand out in a crowd.
We build in features not commonly found in typical Brazilian garage and shop restorations.
Our interiors, with quality, Brazilian hardwood species ceilings and cabinetry, have warmth and quality that is award winning and recognizable.
At Reborn, we believe that ALL of the details add up and make our cars unique, and help dissolve the common conceptionof moderate quality associated with Brazilian restoration builds.
We truly enjoy and love the process of building our vehicles.
We bring these old, reliable, transport friends back from the depths of decay, to be appreciated, sought after, and valued again!
We build quality, unique custom cars for the Classic Car market in the continental United States.
SURF'S UP !
Deluxe Custom Interiors
We strive to innovate on each consecutive build, and to style no two cars the same way.
Each Kombi is as individual as a fingerprint, crafted with attention for
visual appeal, efficiency, and with the use of quality materials.
We add safety elements such as disc brakes , 3-point seat belts and fire extinguishers.
We totally renovate the components that we know
will eventually fail due to age, and day-to-day "wear and tear".
Your investment in a REBORN car will increase in value over time.
Performance upgraded original engines.
The San Bernardo VW Plant...since the late 1950"s
At Reborn,we pride ourselves on responding to market criticisms and the consumer
demand for what many Brazilian restorers overlook in their builds...
We're aware of the criticisms of Brazilian Imports on "Bring-A -Trailer" and other auction sites, and we seek to gain a market advantage by offering "unusual "quality which should be "usual" and at reasonable pricing.
We install Belly pans for structural rigidity, address and improve clean electrical wire routing, and we clean and totally renovate the entire underbody with additional water proofing
materials for decreased wear and longevity.
Reborn restorations have better chassis underbody coatings than the original factory builds
This helps stand the test of time. Our engine upgrades include measurable increased engine horsepower and transmission modifications for increased power and speed.
Reborn Custom features that add sparkle and wow!
Our custom wood interiors and the luggage and storage bays in our Single Cabs
set us part from average "vanilla restorations."
At Reborn,we respond to suggestions, and scour the internet for innovative ideas
from other quality builders to improve our restorations..
.Our upgrades are similar to other innovative shop upgrades ..but we seek to improve on those ideas with upgraded materials and our own design "twists:"
Recent innovations included in our builds include digital instrument panels for accurate transmission of speed and RPM data, and diesel interior heaters that work independently of the engine and supply heating for our Kombis without the engine running. An electric winch on our Single Cab Cycle hauler
can tow heavy Harley or Indian bikes with ease.
Reborn recent innovations include custom jack point logo rails, surfboard tables, and LED dimmable wash lights for cabin light management. An independent auxiliary battery provides
110V plug access for car accessories and electric coolers.
We perform modernization and safety upgrades where they're needed,
with the preservation of classic styling and the VW identity.

Our 1968 Aurora Li 150
The Iconic Lambretta Scooter
The Italian Lambretta and Vespa scooters became popular after World War 2 and were invented as a smaller replacement to their bigger cousin,
the military motorcycle for affordable transportation.
Production of the Lambretta began in Milan in1947 and later expanded to Brazil in1955 where it was produced under license until the early 1970's.
Lambrettas are highly collected and prized in Brazil and especially in The United Kingdom, where the "MODS" movement embraced the style and freedom the scooter offered, and its representation of the
1960's British counter culture. A "beefier," faster version of the Vespa.
The "MODS" movement was 60's style and freedom ,
and an affront to the properEnglish mannerisms of the time.
The "MODS" were parallel to the
Hippie, Peace and the Love movement in the U.S. during the same time-frame.
Both the Lambretta and the VW transporter are endeared to that
freedom seeking, alternate lifestyle generation.
.
VW Classics and Lambrettas are now highly sought after for
the nostalgia of what they represented to that generation
and for the icons that they have become today.
We are restoring TWO CLASSIC LAMBRETTA SCOOTERS
1968 "Aurora" Li 150
