HELLO FRIENDS, TODAY WE ARE EXTREMELY PROUD TO OFFER TO YOU ONE OF THE GREATEST ICONS OF THE 20TH CENTURY, THE VOLKSWAGEN [VW] WESTFALIA KOMBI CAMPMOBILE! THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL EARLY 1970 WESFALIA CAMPMOBILE WITH ITS ALL ORIGINAL INTERIOR, WHICH INCLUDES THE COMPLETE CAMPING SETTUP WITH THE VERY LARGE FOLD DOWN BACKSEAT BED UNIT, THE LARGE FOLD OUT POP-TOP HAMMOCK, AND ALSO THE MUCH SOUGHT AFTER ORIGINAL CHILDS HAMMOCK / COT THAT HANGS OVER THE FRONT SEATING SECTION. THE INTERIOR OF THIS EARLY BAY IS BEUTIFUL!! IT HAS ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL UPHOLSTERY IN VERY NICE CONDITION, THE ORIGINAL REFRIGERATOR [ICEBOX] ORIGINAL SINK WITH A BRAND NEW HAND PUMP FAUCET AND A CLEANED AND READY TO USE WATER SYSTEM BUILT IN THE CAMPMOBILE CABINET. THIS BUS IS READY TO GO TODAY AND WOULD MAKE A SUPERB CAMPING UNIT OR DAILY DRIVER. THE BUS IS EQUIPPED WITH WHAT IS ALMOST CERTAINLY ITS ORIGINAL 1600 CC[1584CC] ENGINE WITH ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. THIS UNIT COMES WITH ITS ORIGINAL OWNERS MANUAL AND VERY RARE ORIGINAL "VOLKSWAGEN MAINTENANCE RECORD"MANUAL AND WARRANTY CARD AND WARRANTY FROM WHEN IT WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW BY A LADY DRIVER ON THE 10-8-1970 FROM SUNLAND MOTORS IN LAS VEGAS NEVADA. THE LAST SERVICE RECORD / OIL CHANGE SHOWN IN THE RECORDS WAS AT 54021 MILES ON THE 10-27-1975. THE CAMPER / BUS WAS PURCHASED EARLIER THIS YEAR FROM A FAMILY MEMBER OF A 89 YEAR OLD GENTLEMAN THAT PASSED AWAY AND THE ODOMETER SHOWED A LITTLE OVER 56,000 SO WE DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS ACTUAL MILES OR NOT. UNDERNEATH THIS WESTFALIA IT IS EXTREMELY CLEAN COMPARED TO ANY THAT WE HAVE SEEN AND IT HAS WHAT APPEARS TO BE ITS ORIGINAL SNAP ON LEATHER TYPE COVER OVER THE HEATER PIPES FROM FRONT TO REAR. THE BUS HAD BEEN UNDERCOATED AT SOME POINT AND THE FRAME IS ABSOLUTELY SOLID AND READY TO ROLL! WHEN WE RECEIVED THE BUS WE REBUILT THE CARBURETOR, ADJUSTED THE VALVES, CHANGED THE OIL AND STRAINER CLEANED FUEL PUMP, INSTALLED ALL NEW FUEL LINES AND ADDED DUAL FUEL FILTERS. THE ENGINE RUNS BEAUTIFULLY AND DOES NOT SMOKE AT ALL. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SMOOTHLY AND THE CLUTCH IS AS STRONG AS A NEW ONE. THIS BUS IS EQUIPPED WITH THE UPRIGHT VW BEETLE STYLE 1600CC ENGINE SO IT IS VERY EASY TO WORK ON AND ALL PARTS FOR THE ENGINE ARE NORMALLY AVAILABLE LOCALLY. WE HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL OF THE PUSHROD TUBES THAT ARE THE MAIN CAUSE OF LEAKS IN THE VW AND W ALSO INSTALLED NEW PUSHRODS AND FINE TUNED ALL OF THE VALVES THROUGHOUT SO THE ENGINE IS STRONG AND SHOULD LAST FOR YEARS TO COME. WHEN WE GOT IT IT HAD A SOFT SPOT IN THE ORIGINAL LENOLIUM FLOOR AS SOON AS YOU OPEN THE SLIDING DOOR, SO WE COMPLETELY REPLACED IT WITH BRAND NEW PLYWOOD AND NICE LENOLIUM MARBLE LOOK TILE, WHICH MATCHES VERY NICELY WITH THE ORIGINAL WOODGRAIN CAMPMOBILE EQUIPMENT AND BEIGE UPHOLSTERY. THE BUS HAS ITS ORIGINAL CURTAINS WHICH DO SHOW HEAVY WEAR IN SOME PLACES BUT ITS NICE TO HAVE ALL OF THE ORIGINAL INTERIOR. ALL OF THE GLASS IN THE BUS IS IN GOOD CONDITION AND ITS ALL ORIGINAL VW SAFE-T-GLASS, AND THE TRIPLE SIDE WINDOWS OPEN AND CLOSE FINE AND HAVE THEIR ORIGINAL SCREENS AS WELL AS THE ORIGINAL MOSQUITO SCREEN FOR THE REAR HATCH. THE VAN IS VERY SOLID WITH A FEW SMALL RUST THROUGH PLACES UNDERNEATH THE DRIVERS FLOORBOARD THAT HAVE BEEN COVERED WITH METAL.... THE REST OF THE METAL FLOORING IS EXCELLENT AND HAS ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL NUMBERED CAMPMOBILE RUBBER FLOORMATTING. THE DASH IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL AND AS NICE AND COMPLETE AS ANY THAT WE HAVE SEEN ANYWHERE! WE ALSO INSTALLED A BRAND NEW VDO OIL TEMPERATURE GAUGE UNDERDASH AND THE ENGINE STAYS NICE AND COOL EVEN AT 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. WE INSTALLED A BRAND NEW MASTER CYLINDER AND REPAIRED A COUPLE OF THE RUBBER FLEX BRAKE HOSES AND REFILLED WITH NEW BRAKE FLUID. THE BUS COMES WITH ITS ORIGINAL WHEELS AND A BRAND NEW SET OF [VW] CHROME WHEEL COVERS/HUBCAPS. THIS WESTFALIA HAS ITS ORIGINAL POP-UP CANVAS CAMPER TOP WITH ITS ORIGINAL CANVAS, WHICH DOES SHOW WEAR AND HAS SEVERAL REPAIRED HOLES IN IT BUT IT WORKS FINE AND CAN BE USED JUST AS IT IS OR REPLACED FOR AROUND $300.00 FOR A NICE QUALITY REPLACEMENT. THE BUS RUNS GREAT AND DRIVES DOWN THE ROAD NICELY FOR A 40 YEAR OLD VW CAMPER. THIS IS A VERY SOLID ROADWORTHY ORIGINAL GERMAN WESTFALIA CAMPMOBILE IN VERY NICE CONDITION BUT ABSOLUTELY VERY FAR FROM PERFECT. THE BUS HAD THE ORIGINAL PAINT ON IT WHEN WE GOT IT WITH ALL OF THE NORMAL FLAWS OF A 40 YEAR OLD KOMBI. WE ARE NOT EXPERT BODY AND PAINT MEN SO THE BODYWORK AND PAINT IS VERY FAR FROM PERFECT BUT IT IS CERTAINLY RESPECTABLE ENOUGH FOR A DAILY DRIVER AND CAMPING UNIT. THIS BUS DRAWS A CROWD EVERYWHERE IT GOES AND WE HAVE YET TO MEET ANYONE THAT DOESN'T LOVE IT!! IT IS CERTAINLY A HEAD TURNER AND A VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF THE LATE SIXTIES AND EARLY SEVENTIES VW CRAZE! THIS IS NOT A FULLY RESTORED $40,000.00 CAMPER BUT IT IS AN EXTREMELY NICE UNIT THAT IS AFFORDABLE ENOUGH FOR THE AVERAGE PERSON TO OWN AND OPERATE SO BID TO WIN!! WHEN WE PURCHASED THE BUS THE FUEL TANK HAD RUST IN IT SO WE FLUSHED IT OUT WITH MURIATIC ACID SEVERAL TIMES FOLLOWED BY PAINT THINNER AND REPLACED THE IN-TANK STRAINER / FILTER AND FUEL TAP, ALONG WITH ALL OF THE FUEL LINES AND FILTERS.HOWEVER, EVEN AFTER ALL OF THIS, IT STILL GOT TINY SPECS OF RUST IN THE FILTER SO WE INSTALLED AN AUXILLIARY MARINE FUEL TANK INSIDE THE REAR COMPARTMENT NEXT TO THE SPARE TIRE AND WE HAVE BEEN USING IT WITH EXCELLENT RESULTS. THE ORIGINAL TANK ACTUALLY NEEDS TO BE REMOVED AND COATED WITH POR 15 GAS TANK SEALER TO KEEP IT FROM EVENTUALLY CLOGGING THE FUEL FILTER AND CARBURETOR. WE JUST REBUILT THE CARBURETOR AND HAD IT TUNED SO IT IS RUNNING BEAUTIFULLY SO WE DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE OF CLOGGING THE CARBURETOR. THIS IS A VERY NICE EARLY BAY WINDOW WESTFALIA CAMPMOBILE THAT WILL TURN HEADS EVERYWHERE YOU GO AND IT IS ALSO EXTREMELY FUNCTIONAL WITH THE COMPLETE CAMPER INTERIOR WHICH INCLUDES ITS ORIGINAL ELECTRIC RECEPTACLES,LIGHTING, SINK, WATER TANK, AND A TWO BURNER COLEMAN PROPANE STOVE. WE HAVE A PORTABLE 1000 WATT GAS GENERATOR THAT IS BRAND NEW THAT THE CAMPER PLUGS INTO TO RUN ALL OF THE ELCTRICAL THAT WILL ALSO BE [[[ INCLUDED ]]] IN THIS AUCTION AS WELL SO THIS CAMPMOBILE IS READY TO DRIVE TO THE CAMPGROUND OR YOUR FAVORITE VW RALLY AND STAY FOR AS LONG AS YOU LIKE! THE ENGINE IS TUNED, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SMOOTH AND THE CLUTCH IS STRONG, IT HAS A BRAND NEW BRAKE MASTER SO WITH BASIC MAINTENANCE IT SHOULD LAST FOR YEARS TO COME! WE HAVE DRIVEN THIS VW MANY MILES IN NEAR 100 DEGREE HEAT AND THE HEAT HAND STAYS BETWEEN 160 AND 210 DEGREES AND THE ENGINE RUNS VERY STRONG. THE HEADLIGHTS AND TAILLIGHTS WORK GREAT, IT HAS BRAND NEW WORKING WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND THE DASH LIGHTS WORK GREAT AND UNLIKE MOST, THE SPEEDOMETER WORKS WONDERFULY AS WELL! THIS BUS IS FAR FROM PERFECT, BUT FOR THE RESERVE PRICE THAT WE HAVE ON IT, IT IS A STEAL IN OUR OPINION SO BUY WITH CONFIDENCE! WE HAVE TRIED TO DESCRIBE THE BUS AS BEST WE CAN, BUT THIS IS ONLY OUR OPINION, SO IT WOULD BE BEST IF YOU COULD COME AND CHECK THE VAN OUT IN PERSON AND DRIVE IT DOWN THE ROAD SO YOU WILL KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE GETTING. THE TIRES ARE DECENT BUT THEY DO SHOW SOME AGE BUT WE HAVE DRIVEN IT EVERYWHERE WITH NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER. THE BUS HAS A CLEAR KENTUCKY TITLE AND IT IS REGISTERED AND LICENSED UNTIL 2011 AND CAN BE TEST DRIVEN ANYTIME BY APPOINTMENT. THIS IS A 40 YEAR OLD VOLKSWAGEN WESTFALIA BUS AND IT HAS NEVER RAN OR DROVE LIKE A 2010 MINIVAN BUT IT HAS MORE CHARACTER THAN ANY OTHER BUS EVER MADE SO JOIN THE VW COMMUNITY AND BID WITH CONFIDENCE!!
