The Volkswagen Westfalia is a camper conversion done to the popular Volkswagen Type 2 microbus by Westfalia of Germany. Westfalia was the official camper conversion partner of Volkswagen from the early 1950s all the way up to 2003. That’s why if you’re an outdoorsy type with a fondness for classic vehicles, you should consider purchasing this Florida-based 1978 Volkswagen Westfalia. The van comes with all maintenance reportedly up to date for more peace of mind when exploring.
Exterior and Interior
This 1978 Volkswagen Westfalia sports a green and white two-tone exterior and comes with a high roof for added interior space. You’ll also notice the spare wheel mounted at the front, bisecting the two circular headlamps that are also shared with the classic VW Beetle. The VW rolls on a set of white wheels with chrome half-caps, and has got an ample amount of ground clearance. So, while it’s not an off-roader, you don’t have to be scared to venture slightly off the tarmac. You’ll also notice the louvers on the side windows that can be opened for ventilation when you’re camping in the van. The interior of this 1978 Volkswagen Westfalia is where the magic lies. You’ve got a some lovely wooden pantry-style cabinets, an artsy sink, and even a bed built into the rear, atop the rear-mounted engine compartment. The roof is also lined with wood for a cottage-styled feel. Meanwhile, at the front you’ve got your typical Type 2 driving compartment, with two green tartan-styled seats and a no-nonsense dashboard that only contains the essentials for driving. This is a relatively spartan type of camper van that encourages you to simplify and become one with nature. So, you won’t find a TV screen or even a sound system. All that is up to you to provide if you really need it, but do you, really? Why not take the time to look up from your phone and look around at nature?
Engine
This 1978 Volkswagen Westfalia comes with an air-cooled 2.0-liter flat-four engine in the rear, powering the rear wheels through a manual transmission. It’s basically the same powertrain that could be found in a Beetle, albeit the Beetle didn’t really get the 2.0-liter unit. We’re told that the engine has been rebuilt, so you can expect it to purr along reliably.
