THIS IS AN ORIGINAL CALIFORNIA CAR 1972 VOLKSWAGEN WESTFALIA CAMPMOBILE BUS WITH THE POP TOP CANVAS SLEEPER AND 1700cc ENGINE. HAS 91,XXX MILES. THIS IS THE STRAIGHTEST, MOST RUST-FREE VINTAGE VW I'VE EVER SEEN. I'M NO EXPERT, BUT I'VE LOOKED AT QUITE A FEW. IT RUNS AND DRIVES WELL. VIDEOS AND PICTURES TELL THE STORY, BUT I'LL LIST AS MUCH AS I CAN HERE:
PROS:
MINIMAL SURFACE RUST (SOME "WORSE" SPOTS, BUT THEY ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN).SUPER STRAIGHT BODY (ONE SPOT AT ENGINE BAY DOOR BOTTOM HAS DAMAGE).ENGINE, TRANNY AND CLUTCH ARE STRONG.NEW TIRES.BRAKES ARE STRONG, NO PULLING.LIGHTS AND SIGNALS WORK.WIPERS WORK ON BOTH SPEEDS, BUT SOMETHING DID START SQUEAKING ON AND OFF AFTER TWO HOURS OF USE.GLASS AND SCREENS ARE ALL GOOD AND WINDOWS ALL WORK.AFTERMARKET RADIO WITH REMOTE AND SPEAKERS.SUPER CLEAN INTERIOR.GREAT POP TOP CANVAS (MINIMAL SMALL HOLES) WITH OEM FOLDING SLEEPER.SPEEDO AND ODOMETER WORK.BONUS SOLAR PANEL SYSTEM WITH 120V AND 12V CAPABILITY.SINK WORKS, NICE ICE BOX.DOORS ALL WORK WELL. SOME OF THE LOCKS ARE QUITE TIGHT TO TURN, BUT THEY ALL WORK.COMES WITH TWO KEYS.ORIGINAL MANUALS INCLUDED.CONS:
PAINT: MATTE BROWN ON THE BOTTOM WAS SPRAYED ON BY PREVIOUS OWNER. NOT TERRIBLE, BUT NOT GREAT. A CLEAR COAT ON IT WOULD DO WONDERS, BUT A COMPLETE RE-SPRAY WOULD TAKE THIS BUS TO THE NEXT LEVEL.CHIP COATING APPLIED TO THE FRONT.COUPLE SMALL CRACKS IN THE DASH.RUBBER LATCH HANDLE ON THE GLOVE BOX IS TEARING FROM ITS BASE, BUT STILL WORKS.INTERIOR HANDLE FOR SIDE DOOR HAS BROKEN. NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. DOOR STILL OPENS WITH ATTACHED VISE GRIP PLIERS.SMALL HOLES IN THE TOP CANVAS.ENGINE STALLED ON ME A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN COLD. MAY NEED ATTENTION. RUNS DOWN THE ROAD LIKE A CHAMP.SOME FLUID LEAKS AT ENGINE. NOT SURE FROM WHERE, BUT IS PRETTY MINOR. OIL LEVEL WAS GOOD WHEN I CHECKED IT.DENT AT REAR BOTTOM OF ENGINE BAY DOOR.
IF I MISSED ANYTHING (I'M SURE I HAVE), PLEASE ASK. WATCH BOTH VIDEOS FIRST. THANKS TO ALL FOR LOOKING!
