steering wheel is the 78 - 79 style. Of course someone could have swapped it.


That's possible. Indicator lever is also "late " bus, as is the camping interior... ??

Hi Dana, and thanks, ....

What do you mean indicator lever? the blinker?

Does the dash look like a later bus?

Strange that it would have a European plate on it.

that style of turn signal and wiper switch stalk started in mid 1974.
interior is of the later style and plaid pattern.
just because it has a euro plate on the front doesn't mean squat. people often put vanity/euro/custom plates on the fronts of vehicles when their state only requires a rear license plate.



however, the title and all the vin numbers on the bus SHOULD match, and something is off with this one.

as far as I know, Westfalia windows had only 2 louvers. that looks like a sportsmobile window on the slider.
edit- the seats look like late seats. not 74s
