Here is an ULTRA RARE 1978 Volkswagen Deluxe Westfalia Limited Champagne Edition Automatic with only 107k original miles. This is one of only 52 Limited Champagne Westfalias ever made in 1978. Only 26 of these went to Canada and the other 26 went to the United States. Very select dealers were given one, these were pre-sold through a lottery system. These were only produced from January 1978 through April 1978. The BIG question is, how many still exist today? And how many are as original and as stunning as this beauty? This 1978 Volkswagen Deluxe Westfalia Limited Champagne Edition Automatic is the only one I have seen this original and correct. It is still wearing its original Agate Brown and Pastel White with its beautiful vintage stripes throughout the body. It has the rare Deluxe option which includes, all brown interior, deluxe clock in the dash, and intermittent wipers along with a rare automatic transmission option. Still wearing 90% of its original beautiful German paint and California plates, I purchased this Westfalia from the second owners, who owned it for many years and garaged it its entire life. It has always been treated like a member of the family. The original exterior and interior look amazing for being 34-years-old and original. The poptop canvas is original to the bus and has a small tear on the driver’s side, and that's it. The good news is, this Westfalia is ROCK SOLID, untouched, and dry as a nut. It has its correct 2.0 Fuel Injected engine with a RARE automatic transmission that runs and drives great with a complete up to date service. It’s fun and easy to drive, so anyone can drive her. It can sleep 2 people up top and 2 people in the bed very comfortably. It comes with all curtains, mosquito net, optional stool for storage between the front seats, both front and rear tables, and iceboxes to keep things fresh while camping with the family. All the lights and blinkers are working as they should. Tires are in great condition. You will be HARD-PRESSED to find another like this one. It's hard to believe its beautiful condition after 34 years. This truly is a once in a lifetime offering. Finding a 1978 Volkswagen Deluxe Limited Champagne Edition is very rare. Finding one wearing its original paint with a beautiful body and interior like this one is nearly impossible. Own a piece of history before its too late. This is an excellent investment or addition to your personal collection. Overseas buyers are welcome to bid.
