*original Paint * Solid Body * Runs Nice * Shifts Nice * Special Edition Model * on 2040-cars

Will be adding video soon. Bus needs interior work. Has all the major camping parts. Structurally and mechanically sound. Drives nice, shocks, brakes, exhaust, motor, trans all in good working order. Paint is faded and worn. Just needs paint and cosmetics to make this bus gorgeous. Excellent restoration project or daily rat ride. Get in it and drive- a lot of the majors are already taken care of. This Westfalia is a true diamond in the rough.

The sound you hear in the video is not the engine knocking. It's a valve adjustment or something simpler like that. The engine runs nice. 

I'm going to answer a few questions people asked insteading of replying to each one.  How much body work does it need? As far as I know,( and I have had a magnet all over it) it needs a new nose and a new sliding door if you can't patch the door on the bottom. On the drivers side there is rust along the trim in the middle of the bus. There is normal bus rust along the windows and small little specs of rust here and there on the body. No major rust at all. I described and showed all the rust I know about to the best of my ability. I'm not a mechanic. Please come and see yourself or ask for specific pictures before bidding if you need more clarification. Are the rockers rusted? The rockers are good as far as I know. The sliding door is rusted.   What is the reserve? The reserve is $8000. Can it drive cross country? It has already. Multiple times with it's previous owner. I have the receipts for it's new owner to keep as part of her history. I have owned it for about three years and drove it only on the weekends. It has been reliable. I've also had to change out the clutch cable in a parking lot and various other unexpected things that come up with a bus. I have a half-decent amount of VW knowledge and a whole bunch of mechanical people to help me. I just haven't had the time to fully restore this bus. If you are the auction winner and within a few hours drive of this location you can pick it up come and drive it back with a buddy. Get AAA because it is a 37 year old vehicle for a serious hobby or VW enthusiast not for those that don't know how to drive the 4 speed manual transmission and properly take care of her. If you are farther, arrange for shipping of some kind. The vehicle needs some finishing touches on all components before I would feel comfortable using it as as a second home on a road trip. For those who have owned or own VW's you know this is all standard VW knowledge. Does it have air and heat? Yes. It has windows you can roll down. Right now there are no door panels so rolling down the windows takes a certain amount of finesse. Heat. No, not really. Are you sure you want a VW bus? The new Kia's have heat, air, and a 100,000  warranty. This bus has a lot of character yet you don't drive a bus for the heating and air conditioning. It's part lifestyle and part insanity.  Why am I selling it? Educational expenses for my kid. There's no other reason I would sell this awesome bus if not for that.
