1979 Westfalia Campmobile Deluxe Pop-top 2.0 Dual 40 Idf Carbs on 2040-cars

For sale is a 1979 Volkswagen Deluxe Campmobile that is in great original shape. I've had her for over nine years but really haven't taken her camping in a very long time and going back to school full time means I am not likely to use her in the foreseeable future either. It is time to let her go to a family who will give her the attention and use that she deserves.

This is an original California camper that I bought and brought to Arizona so rust is not an issue, this is a very solid Volkswagen. The paint is a respray of the original Mexican beige color that was done by the previous owner about ten years or so ago but is still shiny and looks nice. The only rust that I know of is some light surface rust in the rear rain gutter under the pop top portion of the roof. There is also some light rust under the front windshield as well a little rust in the battery tray. Other than that she is rust free and the undercarriage and frame are still nicely coated with original protectant keeping them looking amazing.

The camper runs very smooth with good power from a completely rebuilt 2.0 liter type four engine with a little more than 600 miles since being rebuilt this past year. The engine also has completely rebuilt Italian dual Weber 40 IDF carburetors. Over three thousand dollars were invested in getting the engine running just right. Should provide many many years of faithful service going forward.

Odometer shows 46,782 miles on it but there is no hundred thousand column so I cannot verify the mileage but would assume that given the age the odometer has probably turned over once and the actual mileage is most likely 146,782 miles but she still drives and stops nicely. Emergency brake is very strong and hold the camper put nicely.

The camping equipment is all there, sink, stove, and refrigerator but none of them have been used for many years. I have not tried testing them but they worked when last used. This camper easily sleeps four adults with room for two in the upper bunk and two in the lower fold down bed. I do not have one but the brackets are located above the front seats to hold a small cot that can sleep an extra child if you bought the necessary cot.

Due to the Arizona heat, some of the laminate of the camper cabinets is beginning to peel up. Overall the laminate is still in good condition despite the peeling up and should only need to be glued back down. The heat has also been rough on the rubber window seals which are cracking, some of which will eventually need to be replaced. The drivers seat has a tear on both the upper and lower parts toward the driver's side door and could use reupholstering at some point. The passenger side door panel vinyl has also started peeling away from the pressboard. I have attempted to glue it back down but again the heat has been fighting this attempt.

The tires are relatively new and in great shape with plenty of tread left on them.

Included with the bus are some harder to find original accessories like the rear door mosquito net, large kitchen table, the small snack table that attaches to the front dashboard between the front seats, the hard to find leg for the snack table, a unusual hanger that goes on the snack table which I am not sure what it was meant for (I used it to hold a plastic bag for trash but it may have been a holder for storing the table when not in use), and very rare "Ambulance Fans" have been installed in this camper to help bring fresh air into the camper. I was told the fans had been tested and working when I bought them but I have not had them working because I am not very electrically inclined and haven't brought her in to a specialist to connect them properly. Also included are all of the original curtains (some of which are faded from years in the sun) including the ever elusive front cabin curtain to cover the windshield and front door windows.

Again this is a very straight, clean, and original Volkswagen Campmobile that I hate to part with but between the Arizona heat and school I just have not been using her like I should.
