1972 Volkswagen Westfalia Camper Bus Stunning VW Restoration

Isn't she lovely.

Hello everybody. here's another fine example of the ultimate camp mobile. Evidently this bus was a European import and came with the rare factory hitch. This Westfalia is the last year of the low light turn signals and rounded bumpers. It's the first year of the more powerful Porsche style "pancake" engine .

It has a cot in the pop-top area. a fold-out bench seat that sleeps two more. plus a child cot across the front. Talk about comfy cozy!

This van was painted a beautiful Sea Blue and Pastel White two tone and was in good condition prior to being painted. There were many hours spent block sanding to get the body as straight as possible. It's amazing how nice and clean the original front floor is. The interior is completely reupholstered in a two tone tan with custom blue piping and looks way cool.

The pop-top is a new desirable three window version. with new seals all the way around. I really like the versatility of the removable Coleman Ice box and water cooler. It just gives you easier access and more room if you need it. as compared to the original ice box.

Mechanically this bus runs like dream. I was told that the engine was rebuilt within the last 5. 00 miles. The fellow I purchased it from cannot seem to find the repair order. so I did not receive any paperwork with the bus. Yet. (he's still looking) The transaxle shifts smooth and doesn't whine. grind or pop out of gear. The front end is tight and steers straight down the road. The brakes have replaced recently and stop smooth and strong. All the electrical is in working order including headlights. tail lights. brake lights. turn signals. horn. wipers. and fuel gauge. I even installed a inline electric pump for the windshield washer. One key works all the doors and I just replaced the ignition switch.

This bus is a blast to drive and looks great rolling down the highway or cruising around town. You'll enjoy many quite hours getting back to nature. riving through the countryside. or listening to waves break on a near by beach. Having the Early Bay window in such great condition adds rarity and style that you just don't find in others Westys. As a licensed Colorado Dealer I have to sell the van miles exempt due to its age per state law.

Bid with confidence and good luck.
