1969 Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon Description

Early 1969 bay window pop top Westfalia camper! This is a reliable daily driver that has also taken trips out of state after receiving a full mechanical overhaul. If you are looking for a ready to go, mechanically solid camper with a good body: this is it!
The following has been done to the bus in the last few thousand miles, all within less than a year using the best quality parts available from Wolfsburg West, CB Performance, Bughaus, etc. I built this bus for me to camp and road trip: no corners were cut!
