undercarriage� � Just in time for summer camping in complete style,
this bright green 1978 Volkswagen Bus with the Westfalia Camper has
arrived at MotoeXotica Classic Cars. This Westy fortunately still
retains most of its original green plaid interior.� It has not yet
suffered from a custom Pintrest project from a previous owner's
wife, as we have seen with many Westfalia buses as of late. The
exterior is finished in correct Sage green and the top has recently
been refurnished to correct standards and is included with the
original plaid bed. This Westy is ready to enjoy as the values are
steadily increasing, as we are now paying double for these T2
Westfalia buses from the ones we purchased just 3 short years ago!
Finished in brilliant Sage Green (code L63H) with Pastell White
roof (code L90D) and accents, this late bay's paint and trim are in
overall very good condition. The glass is in good order, include
the rear window with its rear defroster grid. The van's lights are
in similar condition, including its Hella headlights, are clear and
intact. The bus body is solid and straight while the engine bay is
tidy and the original green sage paint is still present in the
engine compartment. This van sports a new camper top along with a
factory detachable table, stove and sink. The cargo area looks
great with a small mattress and shelving unit over the engine
compartment. Also included with the hard to find original front cab
child cot! This Bay rolls on Hankook Optimo radials, size 205/70R14
at all four corners, and each tire surrounds a steel wheel topped
by a full factory vented moon wheel cover with a cap and white
beauty rings. The wheels and tires look great. Out back is a 2.0L
flat four-cylinder engine, with a two-barrel carburetor, and which
featured hydraulic valve lifters, eliminating the need to
periodically adjust the valve clearances as on earlier models.
Nineteen seventy-eight was the first year for electronic ignition,
utilizing a hall effect sensor and digital controller, eliminating
maintenance-requiring contact-breaker points. As with all
Transporter engines, the focus in development was not on power, but
on low-end�torque. The Type 4 engines were reportedly more robust
and durable than the Type 1 engines, particularly in Transporter
service. Buttoned to this motor is a four-speed manual
transmission. This late bay has front disc and rear drum brakes.
Inside, the upholstery is done Camping Green Yellow Plaid (code 34)
and is still overall original. The high-backed front buckets are in
good order overall, as is the black carpeting. The original
two-spoke factory steering wheel is present and looks good. The
inner door panels are in decent order while the dash is in very
good order, complete with VDO gauges. The shift lever is topped by
a wood VW knob. In back, there's a factory table, sink and stove,
along with extra seating and storage. Rounding out the interior is
a Kenwood AM/FM stereo with CD player but is currently inoperable.
The Westfalia Caamper top's fabric and screens are in good
condition and zip up as they should. Volkswagen Westfalia
