1978 Riviera Westfalia: Rare Gem & Ready for Adventure!
Calling all VW Bus lovers! Up for grabs is a special piece of history: a *1978 Riviera Westfalia*, born in Beverton, Oregon – the very town where these rarer models were crafted. I've cherished this faithful companion since 2011, and now it's time to find it a new loving home.
Purchased right in its hometown (Beverton!) for true authenticity.
Strong & Reliable: Powered by a rebuilt 2L fuel-injected, air-cooled engine (less than 5,000 km ago!) by specialized VW mechanics. It starts instantly and runs smoother than it has in years.
Features a pop-top with brand new canvas – perfect for spontaneous getaways. The interior boasts freshly remade panels.
Solid Foundation: The underside is impressively rust-free – a major win for any classic VW! (I've addressed surface rust spots on the body).
Comes with comprehensive paperwork documenting my 14 years of care plus the previous owner's records.
The Odometer Quirk: It's rolled over, so the exact mileage is a mystery – think of it as a well-traveled soul with stories to tell!
Reason Why I'm Selling (The Bittersweet Part):
Our family just grew and sadly, this beloved bus can't quite fit our new camping gear needs. After 14 amazing years together, and knowing the previous owner loved it too, I'm committed to finding it a true enthusiast – someone who will appreciate its quirks, maintain it with care, and take it on new journeys.
transparency:
Currently registered in Alberta, but registration is expired. It will need a standard out-of-province safety inspection – a straightforward step for the right buyer.
As with any classic, it shows its age in places (hence the rust touch-ups). It's a fantastic, honest driver ready for adventures, not a flawless trailer queen.
I'm a lifelong VW devotee. This Riviera has conquered Route 66 and countless miles across the US and Canada with me. It's ready for its next chapter of scenic roads, campground mornings, and making memories.
If you share the passion for these iconic buses and promise to give this rare Riviera the love it deserves, let's talk! I'd love to see it go to a great home.
