1976 Type 2 Westfalia Bay Window Camper Bus

A beautiful tin top in great shape and has been well cared for. We’ve won and placed in a few car shows with this one and used it for camping quite a few times!

In 2014, we purchased this bus from a seller in San Diego, CA who had just rebuilt the engine and performed a ton of other mechanical work. Such as clutch, brakes, tie rods, ball joints, fuel pump and more! (We received all receipts for all of that work.) Since we’ve had it we’ve tried to make some updates but keep things inline with the original VW Bus vibe.

Mechanically it is very tight and solid, ready to cruise and camp. It is powered by 2.0 liter GD CODE motor. The manual transmission shifts properly through all gears. Exterior lighting including headlamps, turn signals, tail lights are working properly.

The following has been done since we’ve owned it (also have receipts):

• Wiring in dash replaced

Cabinetry is all original parts, in fair condition, there are some spots where the laminate is cracking and peeling. But overall it still looks pretty good for 40+ years. New removable center console box matches wood laminate.
