This is my 1971 Volkswagen Transporter Westfalia camper bus that runs and drives great. I'm selling with no reserve. I have a huge folder of records and receipts for mechanical work that total over $12,000, including a recently rebuilt engine, and TONS of mechanical work. This bus has the pop-top tent (which is brand new) with a rooftop sleeping cot, plus all the camping amenities including an icebox, stainless steel sink, folding dinette table, plus a folding double bed, and a small cot for over the driver's seats. This bus runs and drives perfectly, I would trust it to go cross-country and back with no worries. The engine starts perfectly and it is smooth and doesn't smoke, though it does drip a tiny bit of oil (not much). The transmission shifts great once you are acquainted with shifting a VW bus, and the clutch and pressure plate are brand new. The brakes work fine, and the suspension is tight. There are no known mechanical problems. This is a very original bus, but it is by no means pristine in appearance, I would call it a "hippie ratrod". The heat works (rare) and it is a great bus to just use and enjoy without worries. There is rust on the rocker panels, and it has been repainted to cover the previous owner's idea of a tie-dye paint scheme. The rooftop sleeping cot will need new canvas. Please note, this is far from a rust-free showroom gem- this is a fun driver! It gets attention wherever you drive- everyone loves it! It is ready to drive anywhere. I have it stored in my building in Willoughby, OH email me or call/text me at 440 339 4341 if you would like to see it.
