Late Westfalia buses with rock solid, super dry and drop death straight bodies are a hard find these days  but hey, we scored again with this one! Unloaded yesterday from its container….

A 1978 Westfalia original brown and beige, one outside repaint to green and white….

Car stood still for quiet a number of years, mechanically we don’t know much about it, except it’s all complete and all mechanics look ok from a first quick visual inspection….

The body however is something we did give a close inspection, from left to right, top to bottom, as straight as this one will be hard to find another one….

One dent, underneath, behind the left rear wheel is all we could find….

Inside drivers cabin is all complete, very weird, this one has a brown dashboard and steering wheel, must be a “special edition”, I never saw that before in a Westfalia…

Rock solid, super dry, ah, that’s how we like them, this picture reflects to the whole bus!

The nose is super straight as well, no dents from a spare wheel, nothing….

… neither corrosion under the front windshield, extremely rare for a US import bay…

Inside is cool and cozy, cabinets might need new veneer but we can supply complete kits to glue on…. all the rest is there and complete, rear seat, top bed, table, stove, sink… even the small stool between the front seats do come along!

Your new kitchen?

Cozy inside huh? Yes it’s all there, needs a clean and detail but hey its all complete,….

The sides are really drop death straight…. both sides that is….

This is a cool camper, how do you like the looks? We do fully agree the colors are not so cool, but the condition makes up for it big time….

Resume; This is a camper with a very straight and dry body, that needs mechanical refreshment. or in a better case this camper can be your perfect, very easy-going restoration project.

The mechanical refreshments we always can do for You at cost (labor plus parts used)

If you like to get more information, more pictures, more details or pricing, just send me an email on Bob@BBT4vw.com

Thanks for looking!

Received a huge load of parts straight from California (and all over USA), Goods In is busy again!

Ragtops been installed as an option by the VW factory till 1963, followed by the steel sliding roof from 1964 on….except in Standard (non export) beetles…. in standards original factory ragtops been installed as (pretty rare) options till 1967, this is a very early production 1967 year model (fabricated August 1966) with this very weird option….

Talking about rare… any idea why somebody would save up cost and buy a standard beetle because no need for luxury but same time ordering a factory ragtop as an option at extra cost? A question I try to figure out already my whole (VW) life …

Fact is this is one, and therefore to be considered hens teeth rare! A standard beetle on its own is already very cool as it fits precisely the aim of a very spartan but well functional car a VW beetle really is….

This baby is a driver, You can drive it all over the place, brakes, engine, electrics all works, off course and as always we do recommend a full service before take this little gem on public roads….

The dashboard has absolutely nothing about luxury and only features what You really need to drive a car… the dash is also unhacked and there was never a radio….

No headliner on side posts… ah, standards didn’t had anything with full size headliners, but had a lot of paint inside in og body color, cool huh? Especially with that crazy hole in the roof….:)

Let the sun shine in!  Ragtops are over practical, even in grey and rainy Belgium You drive ragtops open 9 months a year, so easy!

Interior is all there, needs to be re upholstered but the correct materials are available, so not too much of a problem…

Underneath the car might need some attention… or r-tear it all apart and make it a full resto, or drive with minor repairs as last owner did… your choice, anyway it has some works for sure, but is so special!

Tons of paperwork, mainly old bills going back to the sixties, do show this beetle was regularly serviced by its long time lady owner always at the official dealerships from the importer in and around Brussels Belgium… this baby has a real high pedigree!

Sitting in the sun it makes You dream doesn’t it? Yes we still dig them and this one is no exception!

Now… are You prepared to add some real rare VW to you stables? This baby is so rare, changes are very low You will ever finds another one, so  don’t  delay, don’t let this one slip away and contact Bob today….
