Camper Plus: ’65 Volkswagen Westfalia

The folks selling this Camper are just perfect VW Camper people. If they were older, they would surely have gone to Woodstock. Maybe they go to Coachella every year? Who knows. We actually had to edit one of the pictures since this is a “G” rated website. The sellers feel it necessary to have attractive female body parts in almost every picture to help capture our attention. But since we are car guys, original air cleaners and shift knobs will do.

Today’s Westie is an original black plate camper sold new in California in 1965. It was purchased from original owners in May 2002 in Redondo Beach, California by previous owner. It is said to have 104,132 original miles and comes with original keys and locks. The bus has received a respray by previous owner and no rust repair was needed.
