Co-worker has a 70's vintage VW camper that she needs to sell. It needs a clutch and the interior put back together, but everything is there. She was going to send it to the dump or charity, but I thought it might be worth something. Any ideas what this might be worth. Anyone one from the Washington area interested?

Look at listings on www.thesamba.com. FWIW, some campers (Westfalias) are worth some bucks, but the year and condition are important, too. Several pages of Westys and parts for them there. The Cap'n |

If it is a late 70's bus (78,79) it might have a 2.0 liter motor. I used to have a 1980 Westy and the motor was strong and ran beautifully. Even if the body is a rusted hulk the motor might be a good thing to have.

If I even tranplant a motor into my Westy it will be a 2.4L six with MFI. I have seen two of those and they rock! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif)

that's what I do! Group: Members Posts: 20,065 Joined: 27-December 02 From: Port Hope, Ontario Member No.: 26 Region Association: Canada |
I wouldn't want that kind of power in a flying toaster on wheels. Need a bit of power for towing but that's it. BTW a westy in mint condition is about $8 to 10K, OK condition around $5 -6k and projects range $500 to 4K. That's here...Canadian dollars.
