A real Early westy SO23 here in the rather rare Dove Blue, factory finished with a white roof!
Original Flip Top buses are a rare breath, beautiful, rare and practical (the last one to pout on your pants in early morning for a 50 year old guy like I am!)
The Westfalia roofrack is a nice addition to any bus…. This bus is welded underneath, but most metal is still the original… doglegs, rockers and some outriggers been changed.
Original Dove blue, still factory paint, and uncut taillights! Drooling patina… Hardcore for sure!
Safari’s are so nice in a bus like this, who can tell; Open the Front window please????
Driver cab is clean, with an unmolested dash and clean reupholstered door panels and bench seat! Black steering wheel is bone stock for all Westfalia’s from this age! we also like to point out the hens teeth rare (and nice and pricey) alu handle on the dash, period accessory, well sought after today!
The camping cargo area is over cool, with all original wooden furniture, and correct cushions…
Even the wooden headliner in airplane tin wood is still the original from the factory! mention also the spoon latches for all pop outs!
Even the all original Bakelite kind a water tap and the BIG water reservoir still in place…
A view from the back… coming from the USA its rather rare to have the Ice box chest (on the left side in the back), as most US models came with out! The green cover on the back floor is all original and installed in this bus since new! Very rare indeed!
Ready to camp, are You ready too? This bus needs some detailing, and a mechanical check up as any car coming from the States… norms seems to be different over there. We can provide all works at cost…
No …. stop, we have one more surprise… this beauty comes with an all original Westfalia tent! The tent is little dirty, but in very good shape for being 55 years old! Red and white was all original to a Dove Blue bus, crazy stuff believe me! The tent it selves is worth a small fortune on the Westfalia markets today! Ssssst! we’re sleeping! Don’t come knocking when the westy is rockin’….
This is a blue Chip VW collectible… Westfalia’s are the on the big rise, there is way less Westfalia’s as as there are 21 or 23 window samba’s. Original Westfalia’s You can buy in your lifespan You might can count on one single hand. This is a unique opportunity!
Full picture shoot available and can be send in High resolution over WeTransfer… all further information on email to Bob@BBT4VW.com please.
We do find them, don’t we.? … Just because we’re bus people, we speak bus, live bus, even breath bus… we don’t find buses, but buses do find us… they want to find a good home… help us!
This 1965 was started with all good will and a lot of passion, but the project was little to heavy for the last owner so he asked us to sell it… there is all doors and some other parts coming along….
Needs a nose, we have in reproduction eventually…
Needs work, but affordable Crewcabs are hardly coming to the market lately…
Imagine You finish this one, You could be proud to yourselves… do your bit and save a split!
Some welding was done already, but it needs lot more… not afraid of metalwork? This might be your change, grab it!
all three doors do come along, also the rare rear seat, no front seats…:(
no engine, but trans and front axle are complete…
not a real BBT style a car, but sometimes we have to offer the economic models as well (LOL!) any further information and or appointments to come and see to believe, just drop me a email on Bob@BBT4vw.com
A gorgeous driver! That’s how we like to present this driver. Ready for the action, but not mom’s (or grandma’s) nicest appearance of the class.
Underneath this baby is pretty solid, but the wheel wells received once some weldings that are good and tight, but not so nice to look at. That, combined with the most ugly interior I ever found in a convertible, makes this car very affordable, its all there, its all real, but the negatives do a lot with the pricing. This might be your perfect AND affordable early driver Volkswagen Convertible!
Very presentable, and nice looking, yes, you will looking forward to many thumbs up journeys…
The engine lid is the all correct (and expansive) unique convertible deck lid with the air vents.
Looks good huh?
Headliner is all ok, outer hood can pass for the next couple of years.
Interior is very sad at least, can’t believe what they made of it… we wanted to change at first, but decided to sell the car like it is, so the next owner can decide what to do with it. Black, brick or off white, all beautiful in a black car… off course the low class interior reflects in the price of this car… this is not a 25 or 30k Euro car obviously….
Dash is cool at least, uncut and all complete….
Underneath the car is good as heck, we thought to find a lot of patching, but no, this is nice, the patching is only at the inner fenders… all closed and usable, but not that nice to see….
At this point there is a 1.6 liter single port engine that pull this black beauty forward, healty and strong engine, that runs superbly….
Spare wheel well was changed and is still clean and good…
The Whitewall tires and reproduction export bumpers add a big hump of appeal…. a real nice classic vintage Volkswagen Convertible, for You available now at BBT HQ.
This is a driver car, a perfect car to enter the VW or oldtimer hobby with the top down… we suggest this is the perfect try out car, don’t invest too much, drive it, enjoy it and see if this is You. Then You restore your loyal friend in a couple of years for even more fun afterwards….
