Vehicle Description
There are few automotive icons that bring as much joy and nostalgia
as Volkswagens ubiquitous Bus. The Type 1 Bus first game to the
states in 1951 and very characterized by their large number of
windows (21 or 23). The later T2 model were much revised and were a
bit larger and heavier than the early models. The T2 models were
made famous by their partnership with Westfalia, a German based
camper conversion company. With that legendary pairing, the famous
VW Westy was born.
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this stunning 1978 Westfalia
for your consideration. Finished in classic Sage Green, this VW is
a standout in any crowd. The body is impressively clean and dent
and rot free and the van came to us from California The paint
quality is excellent and the body is accented by white steel
bumpers, white pop top, white painted wheels, dual chrome mirrors,
and shiny chrome trim. The van also has front mounted spare tire
and twin vented screen windows on the door and side. The Westfalia
package brings a cool lifting camper top, and custom interior. The
interior itself is lovely and in excellent condition. The seats are
upholstered in matching green plaid and they are all in great
shape. The dashboard is clean and original and the rear quarters
have the folding seats, great wood cabinetry, sink, green curtains,
carpeting, and tons of storage! The interior is a great place to
spend extended amounts of time and is a true home on wheels.
This bus recently came out of California where it was very well
taken care of. The 1.8L flat four engine is a peach and runs very
well and is mated to a 4-speed manual transmission with a custom
manual shift knob. This is a very nice running bus and is the
perfect weekend companion. This bus goes down the road like a champ
and is to ready cruise America just like it did in its heyday.
