Vehicle Description
Wonderfully restored Westfalia Campmobile with only 500 miles on
the rebuilt drivetrain! Fully restored inside and out in original
form including factory color of Pearl White! A great driver, show
piece, and usable camper! Rare to find 1968 model! Volkswagen has
always been well attributed to utilitarian design and style.
Although, never short of a quality build, the options were
generally sparse. When extra space was needed, the Type 2 was a
perfect solution! Built for hauling people, hauling company goods,
or as a mobile camper, you could literally find a Type 2 model that
suited just about any application. The camper became an easy
solution of USA buyers looking for mobile access to travel the
country. Built by Westfalia-Werke beginning in the early 1950s,
today represent a unique line of automobile heavily sought by
consumers and collectors alike today. In 1968, several modification
allowed for much needed updating that included a full front
windshield, affectionately known as a bay window, along with
redesigned rear end with half-shaft axles for better suspension
travel & traction in any condition. A new 1600 cc engine offered
more power, and 12-volt electrics were now standard. The body was
enlarged slightly to be wider and longer bringing more interior
cabin space, along with better road manners! We find these examples
to be the most comfortable to drive, while still holding onto the
classic style of earlier models! This wonderful 1968 Volkswagen
Type II Westfalia Campmobile comes fully restored finished in its
original color of Pearl White over fully refurnished interior
consisting of Black vinyl front seats, and yellow vinyl rear
upholstery! Boasting a fully rebuilt 1600cc engine, 4-speed
transmission, all new front suspension, rebuilt steering box, all
new brakes, new Hankook Optimo4 1 whitewall tires, and new shocks!
Hailing originally out of California, this super solid Westfalia
Campmobile was treated to a bare metal restoration beginning with a
fully media-blasted body. The entire interior, window glass, and
driveline removed during the process. Reassembled with original
window glass seals and all weather stripping replaced for new.
Inside, the original floor was replaced with a sharp laminated
vinyl wood design, new birch plywood paneling and correct cabinets!
All attempts were made to replicate the original appearance
including the seat color, new top tent, window curtains, and
factory appointments! Options include pop-up fiberglass top with
luggage rack, dual child sleeping cots, rear couch that easily
folds out into a double bed, ice cabinet, fold-away dining table,
collapsible countertop, louvered side window glass, 110-volt
electrical connection, Sapphire AM radio with FM module by
Audiovox, 3-point front seatbelts, glove box, storage cabinet,
linen cabinet, and more! Its rather incredible to see the valuable
use of space! With approximately 500 miles on this fully restored
Westfalia Campmobile, it is certainly ready to enjoy. Available
from Westfalia in only 2 colors, Pearl White or Velvet Green, we
find this example to be the more desirable of the two options.
Included with this Campmobile is a factory brochure, folding
chairs, extra cooler, battery powered TV, peace symbol light-up
sign, folding chairs, picnic basket with plastic serving wear, and
more! Act quickly campers! They are hard to find like this one!
