1973 Volkswagen Westfalia Camper Bus

Description

It's time to re-live some memories or make some new ones in this 1973 Volkswagen Bus Westfalia Camper. In fact, this one has been given the right investments to keep it a turn-key classic camper that's just begging for a road trip.

If you're looking at this van, you better be prepared to make some new friends. That's because the fun of a VW Bus is all about the character and camaraderie of ownership. The Type 2 (the original Beetle was the Type 1) used to be a symbol of the counter culture, and it only gets better with a genuine camper built by VW's official conversion specialist Westfalia. The Pastel White paint is the original color, but you can tell it benefits from a more recent respray. The clean and glossy paint looks particularly nice as it's just a shade different than the top, bumpers, and wheels for a very subtle two-tone. Super-straight body panels, new brightwork, and new seals on the Westfalia top all elevate the look of quality. So while every Westfalia gives the impression of a well-traveled friend, it's obvious this one was given the right investments to turn back the clock on aging.

The interior also has a desirable look where you can tell there was time and money spent making sure it stays vintage but feels fresh. These VWs are great because the driver gets a commanding view of the road in this forward-control van. There's a large steering wheel, a gearshift within easy reach, and a nice upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo with USB input for entertainment. In the back, the curtains, the seat cloth, and the faux wood all have the feeling of a newer investment, but they give that ideal a retro-cool vibe. It's quite useful inside with a mini fridge, collapsible table, electrical hookup, and sink. Built-in storage, a rear padded bed, and the iconic pop-up camping roof with new canvas sides make this Westfalia a true home away from home.

The engine bay has obvious signs of fresh investment and improvement. It starts with a 1800cc motor that looks good with fresher paint and newer components. There's even a nice set of dual Weber 34 carbs. It fires up eagerly, like a well-respected robust VW motor should, and it's a strong runner. And you get full control over this one thanks to the four-speed manual transmission. Power brakes with discs up front, upgraded coilovers in the rear, and newer Hankook tires come together to deliver a good feeling on the road.

This is the perfect machine for classic motoring in the day and nights under the stars. It's ready for an adventure right now, are you? Call today!!!
