Vehicle Description
It's time to re-live some memories or make some new ones in this
1972 Volkswagen Bus Westfalia Camper. It's a turnkey classic camper
that's just begging for a road trip.
If you're looking at this van, you better be prepared to make some
new friends. That's because the fun of a VW Bus is all about the
character and camaraderie of ownership. The Type 2 (the original
Beetle was the Type 1) used to be a symbol of the counter culture,
and it only gets better with a genuine camper built by VW's
official conversion specialist Westfalia. The two-tone brown and
cream is the perfect color combo to represent the 1970s, and the
straightness panels tell you this one has been treated with respect
since day one. So this is the perfect machine for classic motoring
and nights under the stars.
The driver gets all the right comforts with a great looking brown
and cream bucket seat that so nicely coordinates with the exterior
color scheme. Plus, there's a large steering wheel, a gearshift
within easy reach, and a nice upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo for
entertainment. But the true luxuries are all behind this. The rear
portion has been fitted with a custom brown and tan interior
featuring custom seating that face a collapsible table. It's all
part of a package that folds flat into a twin mattress. Also, as a
true Westfalia, it has the iconic pop-up roof for comfortable
camping. And speaking of comfort, it has been outfitted so that a
standard electrical outlet can be plugged in a provide power to the
whole van and its 24-inch flat-screen TV. It's an amazing setup
that we know has you thinking about how to use it for everything
from campgrounds to the next car show.
This second generation Bus comes with plenty of engineering
improvements. First of all, the 1700cc motor in this one is more
powerful than anything available in the first generation, but
that's only half the story. The VW flat four motor is one of the
most economical and robust powerplants to maintain and improve.
That's why this well-kept example fires up nicely and runs strong.
Plus, those who enjoy a fun weekend project, there are a lot of
companies devoted to offering inexpensive upgrades that can quickly
be installed without needing a huge toolbox. In fact, getting the
most power from this motor is part of Bus ownership culture. Of
course, one of the easiest ways to get the best engine performance
in these vans is to master the power band of the four-speed manual
transmission. Another reason why the second-generation Type 2s are
desirable is because the suspension was also greatly improved. The
original vans utilized a modified Beetle setup, but a second
generation Bus was built to better handle the unique weight and
height of the vans.
This VW Bus has so much to give. It's the classic vehicle that can
take you to the lake one weekend, and then the next weekend a trip
to a concert with friends. And at this affordable price, you're
going to need to act quickly if you want this adventure machine to
be yours. Call today!!!
