1978 Volkswagen Westfalia for sale

In 1972 the body was redesigned and the engine upgraded to what essentially was a Porsche flat 4-cylinder. In 1978 fuel injection became standard which perfected this drive train.

Our Westi is a factory steel roof unit which boasts a lower center of gravity than its popandndash;up siblings, but lacks the overhead sleeping. It is break-in miles from a completely apart, total restoration and rebuild of its original engine and 4-speed drivetrain. The Westfalia conversion was refinished with authentic plaid upholstery and the cabinets were refinished with a lighter than original Formica, which brightens up the interior.

This Westi comes complete with the optional chest refrigerator and 120VAC electrical hookup to make your camping more convenient. An optional porta-poti is not included but they are available. The optional side tent can be found too.

As you will see from the video, this unit runs perfectly and is a joy to drive. Whether you want to go camping, show off at classic car shows, tour winding country roads, or commute daily this Westi is perfect for each occasion.

As you review the photos of the Westi note the red oval badge on the engine. This badge is rare and represents this unitandrsquo;s authenticity and Westfalia registry. Itandrsquo;s a badge to display proudly.

We recently passed one on the highway as we returned home from an auction where several VW campers were sold. Some were truly original conversions. Others ranged from rolling wrecks to very nice drivers. Not one equaled our Westi. Yet several sold for a lot more than we are asking for ours. Give us a call and letandrsquo;s see if our Westi will meet your needs and budget.
