Are you looking for your dream resto-mod Westfalia camper? Then this bus is for you. Over a year was spent restoring and upgrading every aspect of this vintage Westfalia that matters; work was done by a retired VW enthusiast who has extensive Westfalia restoration experience - so you know the work was done right; this is a labor of love by a VW enthusiast - not a business - only selling to focus on a new project. Over $11,000 recently invested in parts alone - this does not count the cost of the Westy itself and over a years worth of labor. CLICK HERE TO WATCH WALK AROUND VIDEO CLICK HERE TO WATCH DRIVING VIDEO Mechanical This bus features a powerful 4-cylinder 1.8L Subaru engine rated at 110hp; however, with the Kennedy Engineering manifolds, cone intake and lack of emissions - it likely makes significantly more horsepower than the stock rating. To cool the engine the bus was converted from the original air cooled system to water cooled, with a custom belly radiator setup that is specifically set up for the Subaru engine; you can learn more about this style of conversion by visiting busaru.com. The engine came from a low mileage, running and driving Subaru car - and was extensively gone through before installation. A new aftermarket heater box has also been installed and plumbed into the water cooling system, so your front air vents blow nice hot air when needed. This is a high-quality Subaru conversion, only the best parts were used and documentation of the setup for future servicing will be included. 1993 Subaru EJ 1.8L 4cyl Engine 110hp (43hp+ Over Stock)New Timing Belt & Rollers

Unlike most Westfalia’s out there with 40+ year old wiring and plumbing - this VW has had the interior completely disassembled and everything has been fully gone through. All cabinets were removed with new sound proofing and insulation material in walls. All plumbing and wiring has been tested and replaced or upgraded where needed - most everything is fully functional and better than new where upgraded. A new auxillary battery kit powers the interior with a built in trickle charger for campsite hookup. Not pictured, but also included is the jack, lug wrench, custom jack bag and stove burner cover. Camping features include upper and lower beds, sink & electric faucet, propane burner stove, rear dining table, icebox, propane tank and water storage, rear power 12V & dual USB outlets, interior light, outside utility hook-up.

New Antenna Final Thoughts Shipping is the buyers responsibility. We keep the license plates in Florida, so if you plan to drive the bus home you’ll need to bring a license plate; however, shipping is recommended as we have only driven the bus locally and cannot say how it will handle a long cross country road trip. The bus is sold as-is, no warranty. Don’t miss out on your dream Westy! Over $11,000 recently invested in parts alone - this does not count the cost of the Westy itself and over a years worth of labor. Reserve is 17500, but this Westy is worth so much more! Please read payment terms before bidding and good luck. SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE FUNDS LINED UP AND ALL OF YOUR DUCKS IN A ROW BEFORE BIDDING, THANKS.On Dec-01-18 at 10:10:59 PST, seller added the following information: Just to update everyone, we managed to get some more miles on the Westy in order to shake out any bugs. We put almost 30 freeway miles on the bus - here in Florida the average freeway speed is 75-80 and we kept right up with traffic in the fast lane - the Subaru engine was just purring along at these speeds, not stressed at all, capable of much more. If you ever driven an air cooled Westy cross country or over a mountain pass you'll appreciate what were talking about here. We have received so much interest on the bus and enjoyed answering all of your questions, so to thank you we have decided to pull the reserve off and let the Westy go to your new home so we can focus on our next project! This bus should be 25K plus all day long, but we understand now that most of you are covered in snow and this may not be a great time of year to sell, I'm sure you realize your getting a steal with this one. Next bid will meet reserve, good luck!
