Before I begin I would encourage all serious buyers to call me directly at 517-425-0129. Although this is a 7 day auction I reserve the right to end auction early.You are bidding on a 1971 Westfalia camper, some would argue this might be the best year VW bus. With its unique tail lights, first year for disc brakes, and reliable type 1 engine with plenty of aftermarket support for parts and repairs.
