Alot of spendy parts on this rig. I emailed him and if available I think I'll buy it, flip the good parts onto my '91 tin-top, then sell it.

That van has been up for sale a few times, don't just expect that it will be an easy flip. Now that the engine doesn't turn over expect to spend some money on it too. |

On the block again. I remember how enthusiastic the previous owners were with the NAHT buildout.

Not necessarily a great deal but a really nice van even with the weeping gaskets.

San Diego area - $3K full Westys are rare any more, this will go fast

1983 Volkswagen Westfalia (aircooled)
This is really hard to post  . I’m selling my beloved westfalia. She was working perfectly a couple weeks ago and then lost power. She will be an awesome project for the right person. She still starts up but has a clacking sound. She has good tires. I had recently replaced alternator, tires, brand new battery and fuel pump. She also had an oil change. I will include the brand new interior panels and bumper caps($600). Everything worked last time I went on a trip with her. She has minimal rust and a bit of body damage in photos. Such a sweet beast. I know that someone will just love her. No lowballers!!!best offer over 3K gets her-I’ve spent more than that on her.

Are those custom cooling vents on either side of the license plate?  |

Geeze, given that we've seen camper interiors listed at $5K and $6.5K this is a deal.

Looks fine from the pics... but, what does the drivers side look like? Maybe ppl feel the lack of full 360 to be a bit of a red flag?

Note the upside down three-window canvas. Definitely a plus.

This was once a very nice van, owned by Samba member "Bubs."
$2500 to own a piece of Samba history. Always liked his contributions. And those wheels are
