Mint Condition ,museum quality 1979 Westfalia. Factory AC van, 2 fuel injected hydraulic valve motor. Mint interior (all original). Original plates. Rare euro delivery. I picked this van up from the original owners who bought this van in Germany new under the euro delivery program. They traveled across Germany in 1979 for a few months, then had the van shipped back to Oregon where it stayed. The van was only driven a couple times a year to family outings and local festivals. The van has been garaged since 1979. This van has only 65k fully documented miles. I have stacks of maintenance records. The previous owners ran the engine low on oil and had to replace the engine. This van recently had a brand new motor installed by Herzog Meyer VW in Beaverton Oregon (cost $4000 and I have the receipt). There is only 7,000 miles on the new motor. Absolutely ZERO RUST!!! Not even surface rust. The van looks like it just rolled of the show room floor in 1979. Garaged since new, no really, garaged since new... Stored for many years, started up and driven every couple weeks to keep seals fresh. Runs, drives, perfect. One of the best, If not the best original Westfalias in the country.

http://s42.photobucket.com/user/westcoastsamba/library/67%20double%20door%20camper?sort=3&page=

  1967 Double factory door camper. 4 year restoration. Only 80k absolutely original miles. I bought this van from the second owner here in the Pacific North West. This bus was originally delivered to Hawaii. The low original mileage is due to the van being on a small island for many years. The van has its factory M Code plate which verifies the factory options and delivery destination. This is a factory ordered double door camper (I have documentation). Most campers ordered in the states went to Sundial, Riviera, EZ Camper for there camping conversion. Any camper delivered to Hawaii was installed by the VW dealership making this a super rare bus with its rare options. The camper kit was factory dealer installed at the VW dealership it was purchased at new in Hawaii. The bus had minimal rust due to being garaged most of its life and being ordered with undercoating which is still in excellent condition. All metal work was professionally done using correct replacement panels. This bus has been fully restored. New 1641 engine. New free way flyer transmission, IRS (no reduction boxes), dual carbs. This bus was stripped down to a bare shell, media blasted inside and out and professionally repainted inside and out including the engine bay using factory early VW bus colors of Sand Green and Palm Green correct single stage paint. Over 80 hours into the restored camping windows alone. 17 inch Escra Raider wheels. The one of a kind interior took me a year working on it off and on to complete. I used the same factory interior panels and colors as would be found in a 64 deluxe. All interior and exterior colors are factory VW paint codes and reproduction interior upholstery finishes. There is less than 750 miles on the complete restoration.

Motor- Under 750 miles on rebuilt motor. Rebuilt 1641 dual port. Big valve heads, rebuilt dual Kadron carbs, dual high performance air cleaners, new muffler, dual Empi intakes, new fuel and vac lines, new fuel pump, and alternator. The engine bay is spotless as seen in the pictures and was media blasted and professionally repainted as was the rest of the bus. The motor is finely tuned and runs like a sewing machine.

Transmission- Under 750 miles on rebuilt big nut freeway flyer transmission. (for those of you who don't know, a freeway flyer is a transmission geared higher) These transmissions are a great improvement over stock transmissions and allow you to cruise at highway speeds with ease and comfort. The IRS coupled with the freeway flyer transmission and higher horse power motor gives you a bus that drives and handles more like a car. The IRS was professionally installed, (The reduction boxes have been removed). New axles and shift bushing. The transmission shifts crisp and precise.

Paint & Body- This bus was completely disassembled and stripped down to a bare shell. The entire bus was media blasted to bare metal in side and out including the engine bay. The bus had dealer installed under coating, so the under carriage and belly pans were in excellent condition and needed no rust repair. The rust repair includes, lower 3 inches of nose, all four cargo door inner and outer lower section, both left and right lower rockers, front floor corners, battery tray on right side. All metal work was done using the finest metal replacement panels and professionally installed by a well know body shop. This bus is completely 100% RUST FREE. The under carriage is spotless. The bus was painted using factory paint colors of Sand Green (L-311), and Palm Green (L-312), these are factory 1955 to 1958 VW bus colors. The paint is over 3 years old and shows no blemishes coming through the paint. The bus was painted using the correct single stage PPG paint finish. A lot of thought and detail went into picking the interior and exterior colors paying tribute to factory correct 1955 to 1964 finishes. The bus was painted completely inside and out including but not limited to the engine bay. The paint looks absolutely gorgeous. The panels are arrow strait and have little to no filler. High end Safari front windows, the frames were completely disassembled and painted the body color. The Hehr windows were completely disassembled, rebuilt and fully polished. The Hehr windows have over 80 hours invested in them alone in polishing and rebuilding them. Both front and rear bumpers are perfect with no dings or previous damage. Both bumpers were completely disassembled and repainted. The factory under coating is still in excellent condition. All new door and window rubber seals through out ect. All new lenses. Dash is uncut and in perfection condition. DYNA Mat was used through out the entire bus including the entire roof, behind all door panels, floor and engine bay area and doubled up in certain areas. Creative Engineering Safari windows. New door handles, locks, ect. The paint has never been polished and only washed a hand full of times. Hundreds of hours went into the paint and body work alone....

Interior- A lot of time and thought went into the interior design. My goal was to keep all interior colors and finishes correct using interior color and finishes from 1964 options. All interior door panels were ordered from TMI. The colors I picked are factory 1964 colors ordered with standard and deluxe buses. The interior option code is 292 (Basalt Grey and Silver Beige). I chose not install deluxe chrome interior trim as I thought the minimalist look was the way to go and fit my design concept better. All seats, jump seat, and Z bed were completely disassembled. The front seat frames were sand blasted and repainted. All seats were reupholstered by a high end hot rod shop, done to the highest standards. Note, these are not the cheap TMI seat covers, these are custom made by a professional upholstery shop. All vinyl was ordered from TMI to ensure colors are factory correct for 1964. The rear Z-bed springs were replaced with a memory foam padding. All seats have custom memory foam type padding, not the cheap and uncomfortable TMI coconut fiber padding. The goal was to make the seats comfortable to drive on long road trips. The complete headliner and lower half of the interior panels were custom made out of Baltic Birch wood. All panels were carefully hand picked for the desired grain and color. All interior Birch wood was professional cut out using factory templates. Every panel and trim piece received 5 coats of clear varnish. The panels were completely wet sanded in between coats. Needless to say this took an untold amount of hours..... A lot of planning went into installing the headliner making sure no screws were visible. All interior lights and electrical work perfect. New front mat, and wheel well cover mats. All cabinets are original to the bus when ordered new and have the correct 1967 date codes stamped on the ID tag. I used a high end birch wood flooring throughout the cargo area. All cabinets were reinforced with metal brackets to ensure they last another 40 years. All interior cabinets are lined with carpet. All interior brackets, interior hardware, Z bed brackets ect were sand blasted and repainted. All inside window trim was custom fitted. Plenty of storage under jump seat, z bed, closets ect. I went out of my way to try to hide mounting screws on interior trim and panels, this attention to detail is what sets this van apart from other restorations. I have over $7,000 invested in the interior alone. There is much more work that I did to the interior, I tried to list all the high lights.

Brakes & Suspension- New brake wheel cylinders front and rear. All new soft and hard brake lines, new shoes, all drums were turned, new dual circuit master cylinder. All wheel bearings were replaced or repacked. The brakes have been finely tuned and work excellent. New steering box, KYB performance gas shocks front and rear. IRS rear suspension, (no reduction boxes). The van steers tight, and handles awesome.

Other- 1967 was the first year of 12 volt. Brand new Escra Raider 17 inch wheels, brand new tires. The rear tires are slightly bigger and wider than the fronts to give the van a aggressive stance. Optima battery. Rare VW Rack completely sand blasted and repainted to body color. The rack is worth a $1000 alone. Pivoting safari wiper hinges. The bus has its original M-Code plate. New reproduction seat belts up front. Rebuilt and restored gas tank with new sending unit. Over $500 in Dyna mat sound deadening was used through out the entire bus shell. Rare set of factory tools and jack.

My design concept was based on a "what VW should have built concept". My goal was to build a "greatest hits vw bus" using popular interior and exterior colors, finishes and materials staying true to factory original look and details specific to the era. The drive train was upgraded for reliability, drivibility, comfort, and safety. Only factory correct VW finishes and parts were used during the restoration. The attention to detail is what sets this van apart from other restorations. No expense or untold hours of labor were spared in this one of a kind build. This 4 year restoration was a labor of love. More rare than a 23 or 21 window and much more usable. This van can be used, and was purpose built to tour the country in comfort and style. I have only taken the van to a couple non VW shows and it took home 1rst in its class both times. I originally built this van to keep. Only selling to purchase another collector car. One of the finest restored split window buses in the country. This would be the perfect center piece in any VW collection. Although I tried to be thorough in the description, I know there is much I left out. Feel free to call with any questions.

Want some thing no one else has? Well here it is 1974 Euro model Dorper Camper 

Original near mint condition. 1974 Canadian spec (Dorper) VW Camper. A factory ordered pre runner (off road) bus if you will. Check out the rare M Code options below. Delivered to Halifax, Canada. Only one owner since new. Stored inside barn since 1982. Documented 54k og miles. The van was parked in 1982 with 45,400 miles. It was stored inside a barn from 1982 to 2012. In 2012 it was brought out of its long term hibernation. The fuel was drained prior to storage. When the fuel tank was pulled it was spotless clean. This has been in the same family since new. This van has been meticulously taken care of and garaged from 1974 till 1982 when it was parked, then stored from 1982 to 2012 in a barn. Very rare optioned bus. I believe this to be the lowest mile, most original Dorper camper in existence. The van was taken out of long term storage and gone over. The work included, new clutch, pressure plate, through out bearing, fuel filter and fuel lines , complete tune up and new Hancook 6 ply truck rated tires. The van runs and drives like a brand new van. The original owner loved this van and always garaged it and took incredible care of the van up in till he was no longer able to drive in 1982. As you will see in the pictures the van is in near mint condition with the exception of a few scratches and dings. No rust, OG paint, rare color (Kansas Red-L30B). The entire bus is all original. ** Note look at the original door panels, no warping. The seat pads are still plush. Rare gas heater. Very rare factory dual carbs only seen on Euro model vans. The van was recently taken on a several thousand mile road trip by previous owner after it was pulled from its long hibernation. The van ran like a top and is ready to take any where in the country.

Just arrived 1976 Westfalia Camper. The gentleman I bought this van from had a stroke in 2009 and was no longer able to drive the van. The van has been sitting for the last 5 plus years. The previous owner used this van to tour with the Great Full Dead and a few other bands back in the day. The motor was rebuilt 20k miles ago by Pete Lea's Motors in Olympia Washington. The interior is in excellent condition. The front seats, rear camping seat upholstery, and padding are almost perfect. The upper bunk cushion is in good condition. The camping cabinets, sink, and carpet show little to no wear. This van looks like a time capsule inside. The front door panels are a bit warped. Perfect floors. The pop top canvas was replaced back in 2008 with a new 3 window canvas, but now shows some were from sitting. I have the original manuals. New CD player. This is a full camper with the swivel passenger seat, original table, and perfect og child's cot. 

Body- Desirable chrome yellow paint. The body over all is in good condition. The front floors are perfect, dog legs good, perfect battery trays. There is some rust bubbling under the front windshield, in front of left rear tire, and left rocker panel. the right rocker panel is solid as well as the rear corners. Some minor bubbling on the rear hatch area. 

This van has not been started, washed or moved in over 5 years. It sat out side for that time, so it needs a good cleaning and some mechanical work to get it driving again.
