 Posted: Wed Aug 31, 2011 6:04 am Post subject: 58-61 SO-23 Westfalia official thread..... |
 |
|
I have been looking around and noticed that the SO-23 campers have a bunch of scattered threads all over the forums. I was hoping to see a lot of the threads mended together in one place to help show the changes in colors, options and everything involved in a the SO-23 campers. Question and answers!
I have found this site online. www.so23westfalia.com
Looks like it stated in August 58 and run through 65.

The latest SO23 that I've seen was a '62.

My low hinge late 61. Came with a factory fuel gauge? The dash looks to have came with it, or really nicely dealer installed. When did the first bus get a fuel gauge?

That's a 67 SO-42 model A42, not an SO-23 bus. |

Well congrats on getting an SO-42 and if you need help there are plenty of SO-42 owners on this site and quite a few in Norcal as well. |
