636-600-4600 The Volkswagen Bus convoy keeps rolling here at
MotoeXotica Classic Cars. Our latest arrival our of Colorado is a
very correct and unmolested Sage Green 1978 Volkswagen Bush with
the Westfalia Camper option. This example was produced in June
1978.The Westfalia-Werke Van Conversion Company converted the Type
2 VW Vans in to these awesome campers. Volkswagen described the
Campmobile as "having a cottage that goes anywhere you want to go".
These icons are still nostalgic head turners today with a lot of
fans whenever they head down the road or pull in to a campground.
Everyone loves a Westfalia. It makes people smile and dream, more
than any other camper can, and its resale value is
bulletproof.There aren't many cars left that deliver this kind of
freedom.Besides, any car, no matter how bad it is, that instantly
makes you happy and stress-free behind the wheel; a car that makes
you realize that all the tiny, insignificant worries of your
stressful life are nothing more than cosmic dust is worth every
penny. Dressed in Sage Green (code L63H) with white roof and
accents, this late bay's paint and trim are in overall excellent
condition. The glass is clear and intact, while the van's lights
are in similar condition, including its Hella headlights. The
Loaf's bodywork is straight , its engine bay is tidy and still
retains a lot of original factory paint. The bumpers are in
excellent order and handsomely match the wheels. This bus rolls on
BFGoodrich Precept Touring radials, 205/70R14 at all four corners.
Each tire wraps around a white factory steel wheel topped with a
chrome VW center caps. The tires and wheels are in very good order.
Out back is the correct1970cc flat-four engine that still retains
its original-spec Bosch L-Jetronic fuel injection, 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-endtorque. 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.
Underneath the bus you will find solid original floors and factory
green painted wheel wells as seen in the accompanying photos
Inside, the upholstery is done Camping Green Yellow Plaid (code
34). The high-backed front buckets are in excellent shape, as is
the green carpeting. The headliner is better-than-average and the
original, two-spoke factory steering wheel looks great. The inner
door panels are in good order, while the instrument pane is in very
good shape, complete with its VDO gauges. In back, there's a
factory refrigerator, and sink along with extra seating and
storage. Pull the carpet up and you will be very happy to see
original factory green painted sheet metal in great condition!
