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. Up for sale is a 1970-produced Volkswagen Westfalia Pop Up with just 53,294 miles on the clock, of which the current owner used this subject bus for 46,648 miles.
While the Volkswagen Golf may seem relatively mainstream in the United States, it’s a big deal in Europe. That’s because when it debuted for the 1974 model year, it was seen as a modern, value-packed, front-wheel drive family car that was economical and more importantly, fun to drive. Then, Volkswagen introduced the Golf GTi in 1976 and created what we now know as the hot hatchback. The Golf remains on sale to this day, and there’s a variant that’s even hotter than the GTi in the Golf hierarchy. That variant is called the Golf R, which debuted with 2012’s seventh generation. Today, we’ve got an example of a seventh generation Golf R for sale. Say hello to this 2019 Volkswagen Golf R with less than 52,000 miles from Hialeah, Florida. It’s the perfect hot hatchback slash family car for someone who’s a petrolhead but needs a suitably comfortable, practical and well-built vehicle that’s also compact, and most importantly, not an SUV!
There are but a handful of cars that have had such an impact on humanity’s mobility as the original Volkswagen Beetle. With over 21 million units sold, its production exceeds the population of many countries in the world. But there’s so much more than mere numbers. Conceived in 1938 by a rather colorful historical figure, development of the Beetle fell to a man named Ferdinand Porsche. Yes, That Porsche. The model was made until 2003, with thousands of updates, yet its basic shape and value proposition remained. In fact, the car was called the Volkswagen Type 1 until 1968 when it gained the Beetle moniker. If we were to attempt a more comprehensive history lesson, we’d need your ear for an entire day, or rather your attention for at least 25,000 words. Since we’re a car seller, we proudly present this 1974 Volkswagen Beetle without further ado. This lovely Bug comes from Irvine, California with a mere 43,253 miles to its name. Before we delve deeper into what it constitutes, let us tell you that a Beetle is the best starter classic car, owing to its simple, cheerful and easy-to-fix nature.
The Volkswagen Beetle was truly the people’s car and its production numbers was a clear sign of that.

With just 1,100 examples produced and just a mere 36,800 miles on its clock, this low mileage limited edition German classic has all the charm a Volkswagen Beetle brings to your life and then some more.
The Toyota Tundra is one of the most popular full-size pickups from a foreign manufacturer in the U.S., and for good reason. With Toyota’s legendary reliability and off-road capability, it easily competes with the best in the segment. This 2018 Toyota Tundra SR5, however, takes things to another level with an extensive custom build designed for serious overlanding. Currently available in Salem, Oregon, with 86,000 miles on the clock, this rugged beast is ready for adventure. If you’re looking to skip the hassle of building your own overland rig, this turnkey setup is a perfect opportunity.
The Volkswagen Type 2 microbus, camper, Westfalia, kombi, or simply bus, is an iconic passenger carrier. Made from 1979 right up until 2002, its friendly face and distinctive air-cooled engine note make it instantly recognizable. Widely considered as a Beetle for those with more people to carry, the Type 2 also makes for an excellent camper conversion. This 1988 Volkswagen Vanagon Camper is one such example. Built from a Volkswagen Westfalia GL variant, it’s living proof that you don’t need a massive, multi-axle behemoth to go camping across America’s beautiful landscape. Instead, you can take this compact vehicle and enjoy ample creature comforts. With a healthy 114,000 miles on the clock, it’s got plenty more to give.
