The lights, turn signals, wipers, horn, all work. As far as I can tell the fuel gauge is the only electrical component not working. The cabinet laminate does have some wear, but nothing unexpected for a 41 year old vehicle. The paint is new, single stage straight out of the gun, never buffed out, but has been laid down very nicely by a professional painter.
This is not your average Westfalia. The bus is in near mint condition, and I have searched high and low for to find the original color / period correct accessories. This bus would be perfect for any VW collection, an awesome daily driver, or to take on your next camping adventure! Clear title in my name.
