Mint Condition . useum quality 1978 Riviera. Rebuilt 2 fuel injected hydraulic valve motor. Mint interior (all original). I picked this van up from the 2nd owner. The van has only been driven sparingly a couple times a year to family outings and local festivals. and camping / road trips. The van has been garaged since 1978. This van has only 95k original miles. Absolutely ZERO RUST!!! The van looks looks like it just rolled of the show room floor in 1978 say for a few rock ships. minor nicks ect. Both the first and second owners were meticulous when it came to the maintenance and general care and preservation of the van. Garaged since new. no really. garaged since new. One key fits all locks. Stored for many years. Runs. drives. perfect. One of the best. if not the best original Rivieras in the country. Way to much to list.

PAINT/ BODY- 100% Original paint in near mint condition. Sought after Neptune Blue. No paint work ever. I sand blasted and repainted the bumpers and wheels. Wheels were painted to the factory correct silver finish. Never wrecked. Body and door gaps perfect. This van looks as good as it did when it rolled of the factory floor in 1978. All the pin striping is original on both the body and pop top. The pin stripe colors give it a classic. vintage look. All lenses are perfect. Spotless under carriage. Factory under coating is in great condition. Zero cancer rust

POP TOP- The pop top is in great condition. The original canvas is in excellent condition. The screen is in mint condition with no tears. Upper bunk upholstery is in mint condition.

INTERIOR- This interior is in like new mint condition. The Rivieras came with factory front seat covers that match the rear z bed upholstery. The original seat upholstery underneath is in mint condition. All. cabinets are mint. no chips. cracks. scuffs ect. . carpet is mint with absolutely no wear. All dome lights. dash lights. camping lights work. Dash is mint with no cracks. mats all look new. pop top in great shape with no rips. Heater works great. All electrical works perfect. Original cup holder and cutting board. Head liner. door panels are mint (the entire interior in mint original condition). The rear bed is a full size bed. One feature unique to the Riviera is that you can fold down one side of the bed so one passenger can be laying down . the other can be in the sitting position. Very nice dual storage bins mounted under the Z bed that are on rollers and slide out. Nice 80's stereo and speakers. Although the stereo (tape deck) is old its sounds great.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION- This bus has only 95. 00 original miles. Rebuilt motor and transmission. The 2 liter fuel injected motor that runs perfect with plenty of power. The motor was rebuilt due to the van not being driven on a regular basis so the original owner had replaced engine seals and refreshed the motor while it was out. New fuel filter. repacked wheel bearings. plugs. cap rotor. fresh oil change. new clutch pressure plate. throw out bearing. New muffler. cold start regulator. new engine seal. battery. (Bus runs. drives. shifts. stops perfect. ) This bus is ready for cross country driving.

OTHER- Brand new tires. all new paint on wheels and bumpers. tachometer. The floor boards look excellent. Has factory under coating. Under carriage is dry and spotless clean. The hard to find factory window screens are in mint condition. Custom tye-dye curtains installed correctly on factory track system. Original jack. manuals. newer brakes front and rear. All dash. dome. (all electrical works perfect. )

This is not your average Riviera. This bus is in near mint museum quality collector condition. This is as close as you can get to a brand new 78 Riviera as you can get. The original owners took amazing care of this van. The van has only been driven sparingly since new. This bus has always been garaged since new. no really garaged since new. Interior is in amazing shape and in mint original condition. This bus is a time capsule that you just don't see every day. NO RUST. no wrecks in over 30 years! 1979 was the last year of air cooled bay windows. 2 liter fuel injected motor. 1978-79 buses with the 2 liter hydraulic motor are the most sought after bay windows due to the power. modern fuel injection. and economical gas mileage. 95k original miles. This is one of the finest bay window campers on the market and one best in the country. This van would be the perfect center piece for any VW collection. This van came out of my personal collection.
