Looks like it's recovered stuff from a 73 westy. Good score!

Highroof ONLY for a bay bus in KY, $400. Seems like a good deal.

just picked this ‘77 westy up in Killington Vt from my new friends Jane and Jack. I consider it a good deal. $1700

130k original miles, obviosly needs alot of tin work, which I will do myself. i terioris all og and in great shape. OG 2000GD FI and 6 rib installed. didnt even try to start it. it will get a psuedo-CS build eventually.

just adding more to the collection.

2 more just went upon CL down in Bennington VT if anyone is looking. both ‘77 westies too. might go after one or both if they sit for a bit

Is there enough room in the basement for another??

Interesting you mention Bennington, we are looking at houses there. Hmmm.

What are the specs of such a "pseudo CS"?
Is this covered somewhere?

I was thinking of doing stock crank, rods, jugs, and pistons (94 mm), with a Raby 9590 cam and have the heads done to put the bigger intake valves in. From what I’ve read in here, that will get me just a wee bit of HP, without messing up the factory L-jet.

Forget who gets credit for what I think I will build.

Clatter perhaps? Don’t recall.

There actually IS room in the basement. Today we will unload from trailer, pull all the interior out and store inside basement. It will eventually get the camper top removed in order to fit through the basement doors.

Don’t have a plan for this one just yet, so it will sit for a bit, inside and dry. Gotta get Crusher done and sent out west by next summer. Still a shitload of work to do on it.

Jay you're killing me with these finds. I need to start looking better again. Killer deals on both of the sage greens you've got. You ever want to get rid of one, I'm in the market for another sage. I miss my sage bays.

Go see about the two in VT. Asking is high at $4500 but you know how that goes. It’s asking price. I’d like to have one or both, but tripping over stuff currently.

I'm curious if anyone checked out this bus in person. It looks good to me.

$15K-$30K is a pretty WIDE range, just saying. Nice looking '71 sunroof.

It is a very nice example from what I can see. Pretty rare to see a 71 bus engine in its original, complete state.

I went to a VW show yesterday and scored this early bay steering wheel for only $40!
I've never seen one with all the plastic on it for so cheap. It's got some cracks but it's definitely restorable. The one on my bus is missing all the plastic around the hub.

Scored this westy in a storage unit in Nebraska. Decided I don't have time to fix her up. How do I decide how much to sell her for? And where is the best place? I'm thinking Ebay 'cause I can use the auction feature to set the price. Body and interior are in pretty good shape. Engine is in it, but no carb or battery. Transmission shifts, tires still had air after 11 years in storage, rolled fine onto trailer, brakes even work. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Route them out a little bit, fill with JB Weld or similar then sand it all down smooth. Then repaint.
There's some threads here somewhere about restoring steering wheels.

Isn’t there a thread on this bus in this forum. I recall us debating on weather it was a westy or not .

It has the hallmarks of a Westy but the nose is of a 72? rear vents of a 71 hard to tell as it seems to have rear end damage and they seem to be hiding it, no rear end pictures...

You’re right, I posted it for another member who thought it was a good deal.

But, now that you Mention the oddities of this bus. I remember seeing it at Buses and Balloons in Albuquerque. I did think it was expensive then.

My bad for posting this here, it should be in the whine thread.
