1976 Volkswagen Type 2 Westfalia Campmobile 95% Original!

1976 Volkswagen Campmobile

On offer is a running and driving 1976 Campmobile in Chrome Yellow. All original inside and out with the exception of a replacement (Porsche 2.0L) engine and an aftermarket radio/speakers. See photos for original equipment, and let me know if you have questions about any of that.I bought this bus in 2002 from the original owner's son, who grew up travelling and camping in it with his parents. Condition was basically the same then as it is now, but it was running on 3 cylinders, so I replaced the original with a rebuilt 1976 Porsche 914 D-Jetronic 2.0 engine, keeping the original transaxle.The odometer shows just over 52,000 miles; I honestly do not know if this is actual mileage or if it turned over. It showed around 46,000 when purchased, and about 4,000 of my miles are on the new engine.This bus is capable of being a daily driver, but could use a tune-up as the engine runs a little rough when hot. Other minor needs are a windshield (several cracks/dings) and new tires -- the current tires have plenty of tread, but are pretty old.As a restoration project, here are the areas needing attention:Mechanical (beyond a tune-up):- The heater boxes are not airtight, and the blower is present but not functional (I've never bothered troubleshooting since the boxes are no good)- I removed most of the smog control stuff when I installed the new engine; it should probably be completely eliminated or completely restored- I think the distributor/vacuum/timing system needs some work, or maybe it would be better to switch to an electronic system rather than the dual vacuumCosmetic:- The rear driver-side corner is damaged. I have the replacement tail light, but never managed to get the body work done- Both engine bay battery trays have significant rust- Some rocker panels have rust- There is some damage to one corner of the fiberglass camper top. It has been poorly repaired, but needs more work. I have the new 3-piece weather seal kit, but didn't install it yet- The tent canvas is intact, but has some stains, a couple of small holes, and the screen is shot- There is a small area of significant rust on the nose cone behind the spare tire- There is minor rust pitting throughout the exterior and some in the front floorboard- Minor dents/dings throughout exteriorI think that's everything. In sum, you have a capable, drivable Campmobile that is a great candidate for restoration, with nearly-all-original interior/exterior/camper and a strong newer engine.I believe with about $5,000 invested, this would be a $30,000 bus, and with about $10,000 worth of work, it could easily be a $40,000 vehicle! I just don't have the time, energy, or workspace to do the work myself.
