1978 Poptop Camper

These days of 9-5 workdays . Overtime on the weekends . And the many responsibilities life has for us all . What a better way to get out enjoy yourself and relax than with a beautiful 1978 Poptop Camper .

Since the day has come where the iconic VW Bus has stopped production after over 50 years . These classic VW Buses have quickly become much more than just an everyday vehicle . They have become a true classic .

This Poptop camper is equipped with all the bells and whistles . To start with this classic camper has the full penthouse poptop . featuring a full sized bed upstairs as well as a full bed downstairs . it does have zipper style vents up top . the side screens will need a little attention but the poptop vinyl is in great shape .

This van also features a working 12 volt refrigerator . propane gas stove . sink and water pump and water storage .  With the option to plug in at any camp ground it does open you up for the possibilities of using conventional 120volt things like your coffee pot from home . The paint is in great shape with only a blemish or chip here and there . But on a scale from 1-10 I would say its a good solid 8 . The rockers and undercarriage are rock solid . looks like under the front matt has some surface rust and a little patch at some point . But is very solid. The windshield has a small crack down low . but is not all that bad and isn't too noticeable  .

This 1978 Camper also is equipped with a very strong running 2. 0L aircooled VW Motor with a weber carb . I do not know the actual miles on the motor but do assume it was rebuilt at some point in  its life by hows strong and smooth it runs . although it will have a slight drip under it after some driving . Seems pretty typical for a VW of its age . The transmission was just replace and shifts smooth and nice . Brakes are in good shape as well .

The bus truly drives down the road straight and tight . I recently mounted up a new set of BRM replica wheels to give this bus a bit sportier look . All the ones I see has stock wheels and I wanted something to set this bus apart from all the others I see .

I really don't want to let this bus go . as these days nice ones are getting harder and harder to find . The bus is very complete . olid . and all around great looking . It is nice enough to feel proud of driving around . ut not so nice your afraid to go out and take it camping with the family . So Im going to offer this bus for sale and if it doesn't sell I am already planning my summer time trips with it .

If you looking for a  great classic VW Camper . hat if cared for will not only hold its value for years to come . But will gain interest as an investment years down the road . Nice buses are harder and harder to come by . So here a chance to pick up a good one .
