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.
Exterior and Interior
This reportedly-original Volkswagen Westfalia is finished in a mellow cream exterior with a tan interior. The van has been further customized for more storage, with drawers being installed in the interior. In addition, a custom cabinet is installed in the trunk area, and drawers are installed behind the front seats for more storage/camping. The bus also featured a Custom tachometer and a Kenwood stereo system to enjoy some smooth tunes on a long trip. While the van has some custom features, the bus is reported to be mostly original with a new horn and all its signals functioning.
Engine
With some custom mods on the vehicle's interior, this bus has a host of engine modifications. The bus is equipped with a Tuned 1600cc motor and tuned carbs with Bosch plug wires. The motor also features Dynamic Balance engine parts with a 3mm vacuum line coupled to a 4-speed manual transmission which was rebuilt in 2013, while the engine also underwent a major rebuild in 2011 with details for reference. The custom engine mods also feature a long block engine with a crankcase with a new OE engine case, a new clutch kit, and a new thermostat assembly. In addition, the vehicle's suspension features new rear shocks replaced in 2013, while the ball joints have been replaced as well. The bus also has been installed with full flow fuel lines and a chemically cleaned gas tank and runs on 91 octane gasoline.
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.
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.
There are rare moments in automotive history when an entire brand speaks with one unified voice. For Volkswagen in the 1970s, that voice carried a message of peace, love, and freedom—values that came to define the era just as much as the cars themselves. From the Beetle to the Bus, VW’s lineup wasn’t just transportation; it was a rolling symbol of optimism and counterculture spirit. Fast forward to today, and that ethos lives on in this 1971 Volkswagen Type 2 Westfalia Van. With a reported 5,480 miles on the clock, this beautifully preserved German classic isn’t simply a vehicle—it’s a time capsule. Its cheerful presence invites you to shut down the weekday grind and embrace a slower, more meaningful pace of life. Whether it’s a long drive along coastal highways or a weekend escape under the stars, this Transporter is a reminder that journeys aren’t just about reaching destinations—they’re about enjoying the ride, in true Volkswagen fashion.
This 1974 Volkswagen Beetle takes the familiar simplicity of the classic Type 1 and adds a thoroughly personalized performance and refresh story. Showing approximately 28,474 miles, this example is powered by a 2,200cc naturally aspirated bored-out air-cooled flat-4 fitted with dual Spanish Weber carburetors and backed by a Rancho Performance-built 4-speed manual transmission. Its documented refresh work from 2006 through 2009 included media blasting, suspension-related work, interior refurbishment, and sound-deadening material, giving this Beetle a much more developed presentation than a basic cosmetic makeover.
The 1977 Volkswagen Type 2 Riviera Camper captures the appeal of vintage Volkswagen travel culture with a practical camper conversion built around the iconic Bay Window platform. Showing approximately 38,342 miles, this example is finished in Cream and features a Black/Beige camper interior with a Riviera pop-top roof. Its camper configuration includes a rear sleeping area, patterned cloth rear bench upholstery, wood interior paneling, insulated rear quarters, and an auxiliary electrical setup, giving it the character of a true period-style adventure vehicle rather than a standard passenger van.
The 1966 Volkswagen Beetle is one of the most iconic vehicles ever produced, celebrated for its unmistakable styling, simple mechanical design, and enduring enthusiast following. Showing 71,480 miles, this example represents the classic Beetle formula with its 1,300cc air-cooled flat-four engine, rear-engine layout, and engaging 4-speed manual transmission. Finished in Bahama Blue with a reupholstered two-tone interior, this Beetle combines vintage charm with refreshed presentation while preserving the character that has made the Volkswagen Beetle a beloved classic around the world.
