1967 2 Owner VW Riviera Walk Thru Deluxe VW Camper Here  is an exceptionally nice 1967 Riviera camper. 1967 is the ultimate year  for many collectors being a one year only edition with all of the split  window features and upgrades bottlenecking into its final year of  production. These features are very desirable and exclusive to the 1967  model year. 12 volt as standard,larger more accommodating radio dash  pressing,gas flap without archaic "church key",refined "pointed"  bumpers,dual reservoir master cylinder as well as numerous minor but  signifigant changes to lock cylinders,mechanisms,pressings and body  structure. This bus has the very desirable walkthru configuration which  is so nice on a camping bus. The Riviera was a American designed camper specializing in  coachbuilding a bare bones model into a high end camper.  These could be  special ordered in many configurations at a very reasonable cost while  the common Westphalia's were sold at a even higher premium.  The Riviera became so popular that they were sold thru the Volkswagen sales  network dealerships. Folks were catching on to the fact that special  built campers readily available thru dealers were the way to go. This bus was bought from the original owner here in Oregon. The  original license plates and VW dealer plate frame is still with this  bus. We opted to clean it up and used the very beautiful VW bus color scheme of palm green over sand green. This bus runs and drives great,its ready for camping and  experiencing the split window VW experience on a visceral level. Often  the knee jerk reaction to old cars and enjoying them is to buy a project  car and make it what this car is. Unfortunately many find out that the  vehicle they envision costs much more than they anticipate. Even worse  many find out that to realize their vision will take far longer than  expected. Seize life,buy and enjoy now,if you decide you still long for a  restoration process buy one after you have a "Dream car" in hand. The interior in this bus is just as cozy as the exterior,both are  fresh not even a year old. The exterior is finished with Nason urethane  single stage for a hearty skin and the proper "depth" look that old  cars originally had,no quicky 2 stage finish here. The interior is a  refinished fresh wood using the original interior as a template,this was  done by a local master wood craftsman. Sitting inside is very cozy and  gives that "time capsule" feeling.  The front seats have new correct  seat covers and seat pedastal rubber mats. The rear upholstery is original. The body is original save for a cargo side rocker panel,there  is no other outside body section replacement or door replacement. All  the doors,decklid,handles etc are original to the bus. Everything works  on this bus,its a great little camper. The clean oregon title is intact.   The engine is a fresh rebuilt 1600 singleport and wears a b5 engine #  hinting they used the original case when it was rebuilt. This engine  does not leak any oil,unheard of in aircooled VW world. The original tent is still with the bus with all the poles but it  is missing the top piece. It is old and not perfect it could be used as a template or as is. The tent poles themselves are  very hard to come by and luckily these are still all accounted for. Clean Oregon title.
