This psychedelic 1970 Volkswagen Type 2 Westfalia Camper Bus is either the coolest thing you've ever seen, or it's the real-life version of everything you've ever suspected about the '60s. In truth, it's a nicely preserved/restored Camper Bus with a lot of practicality, a strong 1600CC air-cooled engine, and an incredibly cool look.

For most of us who grew up after the '60s, this is what we figured all the VW buses looked like at one point or another in their lives. But underneath the trippy facade you'll find a very solid, straight bus that's been well maintained thanks to its status as an American hippie icon. We don't know what color it is underneath (my money is on White based on the look of the door jams), although that's a vinyl wrap and custom decal job you're looking at - not a permanent paint job. So, if you've cleaned up your act and started working for 'The Man', it can come right off and be ready for the square life. Personally, I'd keep tripping the light fantastic and leave it just like it is, after all, this Bus was purposely executed to be the star of the show, not just another Westy Camper. The sheetmetal underneath is straight, the door gaps are factory-set, and by the looks of things this VW has never been rusty, wrecked, or used and abused, meaning that custom wrap clings tight to the body without any ugly sagging or major air bubbles anywhere to be seen. The front bumper and wheels were painted lime green to match the 'Party Bus' namesake on the profiles, that super-cool Wesfalia roof is bright yellow, and the three windows in the rear were wrapped as well to give the passengers some extra privacy back there. She's a driver through-and-through, with some parts showing some age and wear-and-tear (in particular the rubber gaskets around the windows), but nothing that would require immediate attention. Get in and go, this Bus is ready to have some fun. Of course, you'll probably have to get used to being the center of attention, because any time you stop there are going to be questions, photo ops, and crowds of young-at-heart hippies who want to relive a great part of their past. And admittedly, all that attention is pretty cool.

The interior is a bit less funky, with a combination of original parts and newer upholstery on the seats and door panels. White and red are the dominant colors inside, a color combination that's previewed by the Coca-Cola welcome mat that greets everyone that opens the sliding door, and the vinyl upholstery is in very good shape overall. Front white buckets start the party at the helm, while a red-and-white seat and matching bench surround a table in the rear, as this is a camper van after all. With that in mind, you also get original Wesfalia-spec cabinetry and shelving throughout, and even a small refrigerator and sink top tucked away at the side, making this Bus camp-site ready today. Well-worn (yet still solid) carpets line the floors and insulate the cabin, while up top the original Lauan wood covers the headliner just like it would've in 1970. The camper top pops up with ease, instantly transforming the confines from cramped to friendly, and the thick mat out back doubles as a bed, although with the big Rockford-Fosgate subwoofer and extra cabinetry back there at the moment it's currently better suited as extra storage space. Up front that black dash is original and shows some minor age and wear, although the original gauges ahead of the driver are still clear and legible and keep an eye on the flat-four out back. Options are fairly sparse up front but you do get a kickin' stereo (could you expect less from a van that looks like this?) that's managed by the Pioneer AM/FM/Cd/AUX head unit in the center of the dash. The seating position is definitely city bus upright, but the commanding view is part of why these VWs are so beloved, with the shifter for the 4-speed manual transmission just a short reach ahead. If you were thinking this Bus was as fun inside as it is on the outside, you were right.

One of the adages of the VW bus is that it will get you anywhere, reliably, as long as you have the time. Thanks to years of careful maintenance and thoughtful ownership, this Westfalia does a little better than most, with a strong air-cooled engine displacing 1600 cc and delivering just enough horsepower to keep things lively behind the wheel. For the most part it's stock, from the newer stock carburetor to the dual exhaust, but that's what you want when reliability matters. It drives like you'd expect, starting easily and running down the road with that characteristic whistling exhaust note. The aforementioned 4-speed transmission makes it easy to get behind the wheel and head out on the road, and with typical VW reliability, you're always assured to arrive without issues. The undercarriage has some of the usual surface scale you'd expect from a VW of this vintage, but it's all superficial and this Bus is pretty much very solid everywhere you look, proof that it's been well-cared for since it was new. Stock steel wheels were painted lime green and adorned with chrome hubcaps (yep, they're original), and they wear right-sized 185/75/14 radials with lots of life left in them.

No, it's not for everyone, but if you were there, you know how cool this VW really is. There's simply no other vehicle at any price that can compete with this awesome VW in terms of sheer practical fun. Call today!

General Terms

Terms & Conditions

We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).

FEES: A documentation fee of $299 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.

AVAILABILITY: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.

CONTACT: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.

INSPECTION: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.

PAYMENT: We require a non-refundable $500 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers. SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.

DRIVE IT HOME: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.

DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.

VIN VERIFICATION: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.

MILEAGES: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.

CONDITION: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.

AS-IS: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!

DISCLAIMER: This site and all advertising information may be updated without notice whenever new information is obtained and may contain mistakes and inaccuracies. Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.

Fees and Taxes

Sales tax, title, license fee, registration fee, dealer documentary fee, finance charges, emission testing fees, and compliance fees are additional to the advertised price. Vehicle is listed locally, we reserve the right to end the auction at any time.
