Personally I don't mind a bigger motor or better transmission (because those can easily be returned too stock) but a Westy that is now a deluxe Westy and for $100,000.00? Why? I guess that I'm just a purist.

Yikes. Condition listed is 'fair'.

That thing is ROUGH for $9,500. Missing a ton of stuff as well, including the swivel seat which would be a damn miracle to find a factory swivel for sale.

Does this being a swivel seat/rare bus justify the price at all?

saw that, crazy money for that bus even being a swivel seat. I also was questioning if the seat was included/there.

Lots of work to convert a paneled roof to headliner....and not sure why one would do so.

Not the first year by a few years..

Good deal? Hell no.
I'm not sure of the value though, I'll let some Westy guys make a guesstimate.

That '58 westy is original paint and fairly complete. The condition is downright tough. It will be a huge restoration project even without repainting it, and even huger with a repaint. The price would certainly set a record for a project early westy in that condition if he gets his firm asking price. The price is just the cost of admission. The real financial pain comes in the restoration of a westy like that. It is a really neat looking nightmare.

I would think that it would take a while to sell if the price was half that. There seem to be a couple project '58 westies that come out of the woodwork every year.


The side step to nowhere. It should be placed further back in a camper.

There is a bell curve on bus condition. Up to a point you have patina gold. Beyond that you have a rusty bucket of shit. Top dollar for the latter is a bit cheeky. But there's a nice 50 pic photo shoot starring the bus that is very artistic but reveals almost nothing about true condition

It would be a tough sell at $15k

I agree about the bell curve, but I'm also pretty sure this bus would sell quickly at 15k.
