1978 Volkswagen Wesfalia Camper Bus
1978 Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon
Thanks for your interest in a rare gem. This 1978 Sage Green Volkswagen Westfalia Camper Bus is truly special.
MECHANICALLY:
This amazing bus is powered by its original cylinder type 4 engine, with a just completed top end rebuild. The rebuild was completed with top of the line Mahale pistons and has less than 600 miles on it. Fresh oil change, tune up, and timing completed. There is a fire suppression system installed in the engine compartment. The bus will also have a brand new starter as soon as it arrives. She fires right up, runs STRONG, and stays cool. The clutch plate was checked while the engine was out and is like new. She shifts through all the gears smoothly. All lights, turn signals, windshield wipers function as they should. She is ready for any road trip you throw at her.
SOLAR SYSTEM :
Want to be self sustaining? This bus comes with a 200 watt Renogy solar system, ($1,600 value) complete with a brand new 1000 watt inverter. The system also comes with two brand new 110 amp hour deep cell batteries. Plenty of renewable power for those long camping trips, where you can't or choose not to plug into the grid.
INTERIOR/EXTERIOR:
Just to be clear, this is NOT a fully restored bus. It is as original as you will find. They are NO warranties. The bus is being sold as is. You are welcome and I encourage you to come and check it out in person prior to placing a bid or selecting the buy it now option. If you can't make it in person, you can send someone to check it out for you. This bus is used and is almost 40 years old and there are imperfections. This is not a "show busâ€, we drive it and camp in it as it was meant to be used. It is very clean and extremely well cared for. I have included many photos and will be glad to send more upon request. I have nothing to hide. The pictures speak for themselves. The odometer reads 84277, actual miles unknown and unverifiable. The bus has a clean title and will come with a bill of sale.
The Bus was freshly painted it's original Sage Green last year. The headliner, trim, kick plates, sliding door, and rear hatch are all custom handmade Baltic birch panels. She has a new canvas pop top and new seals all around. The bus has its original carpet as well as new carpet in the front area. It also has a custom made console/stool that fits between the front seats. We will also include the original tables that came with the the bus.
