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.
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?
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.

The Volkswagen Type 2, or T2 was the second-generation of the German automaker’s highly successful and much-loved Transporter, Kombi or Microbus. Produced from November 1949 and still in production as the sixth-generation Volkswagen Transporter, this iconic vehicle had a major role in the preferred transportation of the young, wild, and free. Camper conversions were a natural extension for this relatively compact vehicle that was reasonably spacious on the inside, and many manufacturers offered their take on it. One of those was Westfalia-Werke, who were officially contracted by Volkswagen to make the Volkswagen-Westfalia series of campers. What we’ve got here is a 1976 Volkswagen Westfalia Camper Van from Idaho with 76,000 miles on the clock, an ideal vehicle if you love the great outdoors and yearn to traverse it in a cult classic. It’s reportedly been recently refreshed and tuned up, with the current seller having invested over ten grand in it after purchase to keep it in tip-top shape. Some documentation is available too.
While the Beetle propelled Volkswagen to success in the motoring world, in the subsequent years, the German automaker produced many iconic and memorable vehicles. One of those is the Volkswagen Type 2 — a forerunner in modern cargo and passenger vans. The Type 2 is derived from Volkswagen's first model: the Type 1, aka the Beetle. The Type 2 is more commonly known as the "Bus" in the States, and success was augmented by the camper conversion done by Westfalia-Werke in Germany. The camper conversion kit was very popular and was available from Volkswagen dealers worldwide.
