Yes, it is probably because the cylinder heads are slightly shifted from side to side instead of straight across from each other.. has to do with where the rods fit/come off the crank and such. Asymmetrical

I know this might be changing the subject a little but does anyone know if the bar you hook the accelerator cable to on a Dual Weber carburetors supposed to be slightly angled from side to side? Thanks.

1972 here as well, posted this in a another thread but have no answer - is this reversed hold down bracket for the OEM jack storage location a 1972 only thing? Or is it a non-walkthrough thing? Anyone know?


From what I am seeing in the manual, this bracket should be oriented 180 degress from what mine is:

If anyone has a set of 72 only rear bumper side brackets they want to get rid of, please let me know. Thanks.

Glad I found this 72 only front tow loop in my dad's stash of parts.

Just got my 1972 a few days ago, beautiful interior, fairly rust free. It’s the 447 72 produced and started production on July 31, 1971. I can prettt positively say it’s the earliest 72 here Very Happy it’s pretty awesome.

Hull 008 in the 1972 run posted in chat about 3 years ago.

I owned it in Buffalo in the 1970s but it might be a toaster by now

Congratulations on your new project Laughing

Can’t wait to see the interior.

The floor is crap and it needs new handles but the rest is great.

The sticker states the year of manufacture, not the model year. I think the cutoff month is August? -so that makes yours a 72, probably got a nose job.


I think that's the gist of it. Late July/August cutoff. My '72 has a manufacture date of July 31st 1971 and has a very low VIN 1121 for that year indicating it was an early bay in the run. My engine case stamp is only CB000076... poor tired old engine. Laughing

I found one of my busses siblings also incredibly enough.. owned by Jim @ Air Cooled Ranch. His '72 VIN ends in 974, also a Sierra Yellow and was on the same boat from Germany even!! Cool stuff. Shocked

And a video showing his '72 Sierra weekender here (nearer the end of the video):

Interesting, mine is earlier than those two. Someone commented on my thread that they had one in the 500s, it was exactly the same M-plate except destination and vin. All the same options, ours were both weekenders too. I wonder if they were all made for Westfalia first.
Here’s my M-plate
