Dodge Tom thank you also my westy doesn’t have a pop top it’s solid but there’s westfalia tags everywhere that seem to be original what you think heard there were versions of them without the pop mine had a sink bed power outlet closets everything and looks like it’s never been taken apart

[dodger tom]

there’re definitely tin top westfalias out there, chris. i owned a ‘68 weekender.

here’s a link to threads about westy tin tops.

Recently got this 72 westy pretty solid not much rust or bondo there’s dents on the nose and right rear and dings threw out nothing major seems to be all original and un molested or pillaged lol 😂 has the dual carb type 4 engine recently thanks to Tom found that this is a hard top “basic” model westy also known as the weekender lol pretty cool I like the windows the motor the interior it will be nice soon I’ll show the bus I had to let go to acquire this one it was a beautiful 71 transporter that I actually preferred body wise and it had unique chrome trim for the windows had fog lights pics soon

[72fali]

So sadly this one was let go so I could get the westfalia wish I could have kept both though this was looked really cool lol had bad nose rust though but other than that was also really solid everywhere else and original I am the 3rd owner of both busses thought that was unique and cool and really the second owner because both times I got it from someone that inherited it from their elderly parents notice this one was used for their electrical company back in the 70s and 80s was going to paint it the same color and keep the business logo on it hopefully the next owner does I made that suggestion lol anyways here it is my no longer

Keys to the 71 transporter kept em so I can use em for my 72 lol 😂 I know that’s wrong but eh such as life took the awesome chrome trim too it was a deluxe model transporter also took the rear bumper cause it has the two vertical guards like the front does pretty cool I’ll switch from time to time prolly between the OG and the 71 bumper lol anyways really want to start my own thread still figuring it out this website hurts my eyes too much stuff lol it is a huge community tho anyways enjoy the pic the name on the keys says Neiman

Interesting. Did 71 have a destination "XX" lettering? Cuz this aint got one. Meaning Germany - home market. And if so, I guess Westfalia made conversions always has chrome wing window M Codes then. But I think I already knew that.

Still pulling this pile of crust home, it was free, pretty rotted out though. It’s a 1977 Westfalia Automatic with a stove option, cool model but trashed

Hey,

I found a Bay, a 74 Camper.

Its pretty impossible for me to take it out, but maybe someone else wants to save it.

Its in the Finger Lakes of New York, the rust is real, the frame rails are very bad. The Van sunk a few inches. But that interior looks complete.

The farmers clearing the land plan on scrapping all the metal things on it, including the van and are interested in selling it.

I can let them know someone is interested if someone is committed to seeing it, and taking it...

wow just wow, looks like a 70's conversion that someone polished up from grampa's garage

the carpet on the walls reminds me of an apartment we lived in back in the 80's

you may have noticed the snazzy Air conditioning too, peeking out on the roof

and it's for sale!
