Check out gowesty.com
They're right down the street from me. You're probably not looking to spend between $25,000-$80,000 for a westfalia, but it's interesting to look at.
Yes, one sold for $80,000! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

I'd love to have a fully restored ready -to-go bus,

but a car payment is the last thing I need.....

I'm trying to get something I can work on and make good.

The one out here is a 1970. It is an auction, the cars here don't get that exspensive.

Britt,

I had this camper at my house for about a year. A friend of mine bought it for $800. It ran good, but had a couple starting issues.

I worked on it for him and drove it around a little bit. It drove great, but needed a little more work and the guy didn't have the money, knowledge or energy. Unfortunately. he and his wife got a divorce. I was going to buy it, but really didn't need another car Plus, I had just sold my 356 to allow my wife to let me buy a 914-6. Six, bus, six bus.....I passed on the bus. It also got a little uncomfortable with the divorce thing.

Not perfect, but nice for the money. Once I got some issues worked out, I'm sure is sold it and made a little money.

Rich

One final picture. Pretty original interior, except for the checkerboard floor.

So what? I know where you could go pick up a 1.8 or a 1.7 type IV for $500 right now. Looks like a clean camper, motors are easy to find, clean campers not so much so...

LITTLE RUST!!! This thing is in WAY better shape than my 914 (expecially now with a blown ball joint)

Yup, you have to get a '72 to get the type 4 engine (dual carbs).

What TDI are you talking about? Right now I'm looking at putting an SVX motor in my Westy to tow the teener.

Sorry for the hijack.

VW 2liter... Or the Tourag V10 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The SVX would be neat too. What are you thinking about for a radiator?

Different beast entirely... Should be fun, But down here (so-cal) the smog BS makes it tough. I want an early Westy, and have to figure out a radiator setup. Imagine an early bus towing a 914 passing you headed up hill (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

My 77 Westy with its Camper special could tow my 914 if I wanted to. But I would have to put a hitch on the Westy and a front tow thingey on my 914.....nah. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif)

Drove it to DaveHunts BBQ and on the way back Monique asked "Are you flooring it right now? (doing 70). Nope, when I hit 90mph I said "Thats floored!"

"Oh" "I guess you really did fix it". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)
