When you think about a VW "Bread Box," you probably picture hippies
roaming the country and hanging out at concerts-but there's much
more to these odd yet iconic vehicles. This 1973 Volkswagen
Westfalia Camper Bus is in such good shape that it's ready to roam
the country, and if road trips aren't your style, it's more than
welcome at local car shows. VW buses have a huge cult following
with clubs, swap meets, shows, and gatherings. This fully restored
Pastel White example wouldn't just fit in-it would likely bring
home a trophy or two.
The interior is an outstanding recreation of how people once
traveled in these VW campers. It's cozy, convenient, and fun. The
front seats and door panels have been redone in dark beige and
mustard yellow cloth and vinyl, while the black dashboard looks
just as super clean. The VDO speedometer is flanked by a clock on
one side and a small gauge cluster on the other. An AM/FM radio
sits to the right of the driver, and the floor-mounted shifter is
within easy reach. Moving toward the rear, the woodgrain vinyl
appears nearly new. Amenities include a newer fridge, sink, ample
storage, a hammock, and a bed in good shape. A power outlet is also
available to keep devices charged or to handle other electrical
needs.
Under the rear hatch, the drivetrain is nearly new with fewer than
1,000 miles on a fresh rebuild. The super-clean engine bay hosts an
1800cc engine with a 2-barrel carburetor, paired with a 4-speed
transmission and VW bus transaxle. The unibody construction rides
on a torsion beam front suspension with shocks, while the rear
features an IRS torsion setup with shocks. Factory-style 14-inch
wheels with hubcaps wear 185R14C tires. Stopping power comes from
front disc brakes and rear drums, while a stock-style single
exhaust keeps things quiet.
