Summary

  • VW restores 1977 T2 Bus “Azul” that survived 2025 Palisades Fire
  • Restoration underway at Oxnard Engineering Campus

Volkswagen of America is honoring the third annual International Volkswagen Bus Day by restoring a remarkable survivor of California’s 2025 Palisades Fire — a 1977 T2 Bus known as “Azul.” The white-over-blue van captured national attention after an AP photo showed it seemingly untouched amid the charred remains of a Malibu neighborhood.

Now dubbed the “magic bus,” Azul belongs to Megan Krystle Weinraub, who was relieved when Volkswagen offered to assess and restore the beloved vehicle. Following clearance to access the area, the bus was transported to VW’s Oxnard Engineering Campus, home to the brand’s historic fleet, where a thorough inspection revealed the need for extensive repairs despite its photogenic “good side.”

Restoration efforts are underway, with work expected to be completed later this year. The project reflects Volkswagen’s ongoing support for California communities impacted by wildfires. Earlier this year, the automaker donated to the California Fire Foundation to aid first responders and their families.

“Getting Azul back on the road will let its magic and message of hope continue,” said Rachael Zaluzec, SVP of Marketing for Volkswagen Group of America.
