I lucked up on split bus step when I was purchasing a front end for a '66. I picked up a pointed rear bumper in the same pile. But, I will go with the step as the best find.
Good luck to all for 2014! We need it. |

It's a toss up between the 21 window...
And the two hardtop deluxe brothers 
But we haven't been able to negotiate a deal for the best "find" yet. Fingers crossed for 2014

My new purchase this year!! I've been in the market for a new Westy for a few years and out of the blue I got a reply to my wanted ad. The best part was it was only two hours away and I got to drive it home.  It's an original Velvet Green hardtop walk thru SO-42 and someone added the Dormy top at some point. |

dormy top is great, i hope they installed the belly pans, too? if not you really want them...
I would also flip the roof around where it is hinged on the driver side. That way you can get out of the bus when it rains while camping.

Looks like a solid bus! Congrats. Did it come with a complete original interior?

This 67 that I drove home for $2,500. The seller had nearly that much in receipts for the motor. Fairly rust free aside from the bottom edges of the rockers and that front lower valance corner.

I am sure you have seen this bus, there is a thread on here about the value.
I am going to start a thread on it soon, just have to find the time.
It is a march 17, 1956 dove blue Wolfsburg built kombi sent to Westfalia for the conversion.
I am stocked to have it.
