Vehicle Detail

Split windshield Westfalias are getting tough to find, and skyrocketing in value (see the other 66' listed on ebay for $89k!!!) - this one is a great candidate for full restoration, or a solid, patina-laden daily-driver. This bus has traveled the world, with stops in the U.K., Germany, Canada, and even Saudi Arabia (cool old sticker on windshield written in arabic)! This bus is sure to turn heads wherever it goes, not to mention being a solid investment. VW buses are incredibly popular, especially true Westfalia models. If you are looking for a solid foundation to build an incredible bus, or just want a vintage driver that allows you to camp overnight, look no further. Pics of windshield stickers added. - I was told the bus belonged to a US serviceman who took it wherever he was stationed. Window stickers show he was a member of ADAC, and the arabic sticker is dated 1995. There are also stickers from Ulm (a small city just south of the Porsche factory in Stuttgart, Germany), and Canada. If only this bus could talk! * added pic of M-Code plate* option B42 confirms SO42 camper option 425 confirms: North American export package including Twin reversing lights (intact) MPH Speedometer Sealed beam headlights Hazard warning lights Mountings for safety belts (seat belts intact) Laminated windscreen Ram protection (overrider bumpers) Dual-circuit brake system The good: Bus starts, runs, drives and stops.
