Few things in the automotive world foster a sense of adventure like a Westfalia conversion van. Their initial “camping box” idea started in 1951, based on a British military officer’s request to outfit a VW transporter with living accommodations in order to be used as a sort of mobile field office. Additional orders soon followed and the company began a production partnership with VW.
This 1978 Volkswagen Bus is equipped with a Westfalia camper conversion featuring a pop-top with tent sides, a bed platform, a sink, a refrigerator, storage cabinets, and a convertible rear bench seat. Finished in green and white over a gray and green plaid interior, it is powered by a flat-four mated to a four-speed manual transaxle. There is a crack in the windshield, some rust around the top of the windshield, and a couple of tears in the tent sides of the pop-top. The interior and exterior were recently detailed, and new seals and a new drivers side mirror have been recently fitted. The rear-hinged Westfalia pop-top features a canvas tent with a zip front opening. Chrome and black wheels with Hankook Kinergy ST tires. The interior is dressed in green with gray cloth seats, a black dashboard, rubber floor mats, and a gray  cloth headliner. An aftermarket radio has been added along with Oil temp, Oil Pressure, and a Volt gauge. The odometer reads just over 76K miles. The rear compartment features a camper setup with a convertible bed, sink, curtains, carpeting, cabinets finished in wood-style paneling. The wood paneling can be seen in photos as cracked and lifting in places and the front door panels have a couple of tears. The engine case is stamped GE021157 and is shown in photos.
Nowadays, there are many options for exploring in comfort, however most of those come with a very hefty price tag. Take it back a few decades and enjoy camping with a West creekside for a weekend of fishing or hiking, or on the infield for a few days of vintage race spectating.
