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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This 1972 Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi Bus is a charming example of the beloved Type 2 platform, finished in a soft Baby Blue exterior that perfectly complements its vintage character. Known for its unmistakable design and practical versatility, the Volkswagen Bus became an icon of freedom, travel, and simple utility throughout the 1960s and 1970s. This particular example features a classic multi-row passenger configuration with bench seating and a spacious rear cargo area, offering the ability to comfortably transport passengers while still maintaining useful storage space. The odometer currently shows just 15 miles, though true mileage is unknown. A February 2026 NMVTIS report shows a Junk/Salvage record reported.
Purists best remember the Volkswagen Transporter as the Type 2 microbus or kombi. But Volkswagen has made several generations since then. The T4 or fourth generation was produced between 1995 and 2004, and of course, camper variants were popular too. That’s what we have here for grabs in Laguna Beach, California, a 2003 Volkswagen Transporter T4 EuroVan with 188,000 miles on the clock. This fine camper van comes with a pop-up top, the owner’s manual and a smooth six-cylinder engine driving its rear wheels. So if you’re a fan of road trips where you take your house with you, this van is the ideal companion.
This 1975 Volkswagen Type 2 23-window Samba Deluxe Transporter represents a highly customized interpretation of the iconic microbus, combining classic design language with modern comfort and entertainment-oriented enhancements. Configured in a 23-window Samba-style layout and imported from Brazil, this example reflects the extended global production legacy of the Type 2 platform. With approximately 13,048 miles shown since conversion, rear-wheel drive, and adjustable suspension, this vehicle is positioned primarily as a lifestyle-oriented cruiser rather than a utility-focused transporter.
