1967 Westy Walkthru!
1967 Westy SO-42 Poptop Walkthru
Here's a clean and desirable 1967 Westy Walkthru Camper that looks good and drives well. It features a freshly rebuilt 1600 engine, factory 12 volt electrical system, factory "big nut/freeway flier" transaxle, reproduction Westfalia wood slat rack, the original child's cot, as well as a rare original Blaupunkt radio that works, too. This Camper is a good one to enjoy as it is plenty nice enough to be proud of but isn't too nice to actually drive.
The body is very straight and clean and has a great appearance for a driver. It was repainted years ago in the original color of Pearl White. The roof above the rain gutters is original paint and is gorgeous. The rockers on both sides as well as the lower cargo doors, battery tray, and lower battery corner were all recently professionally repaired and paint blended to match. There are some light stone chips and dings around as well as some small paint blemishes on the driver's dogleg but the Bus presents very well on the whole. This Bus actually won loads of trophies at Volkswagen shows across the Midwest during the 1990's. The front floor is very solid and impressively clean, too. Other details to note are that both pointed end bumpers, the push button decklid, rear hatch, apron, and all doors are correct for 1967. The aluminum jalousie window frames are exceptionally clean and shiny, too. The undercarriage was also cleaned and painted black to make it look nicer and keep it cleaner during future maintenance as well.
The interior is exceptionally clean, impressively original, and very stock. Its features include the rear folding Z bed, storage cabinets, original accessory jump seat stool, ice box, folding tables, brand new Salt and Pepper front walkthru seat covers, brand new grey seat stand mats, a beautiful original dash including the previously mentioned original and working Blaupunkt radio, windshield washer bottle, vintage compass, and the original 12 volt sticker on the dash, too. The steering wheel is very clean but has some of the typical hairline cracks in the corners. Other details to note are the recently replaced poptop canvas, beautiful original Westfalia rear flooring, and the original accessory rear mosquito netting. The tent went missing some years ago and is not included however the original child's cot is still present.
Mechanically this Westy is fully turnkey, runs and drives nicely, and was recently serviced with refreshed brakes, newer shocks, and brand new radial white stripe tires on the powdercoated proper 14 inch Bus wheels. Other mechanical features include the stock front sway bar, dual circuit braking system, and the factory reverse lights, too. The stock single port engine runs nicely with good power but has recently begun to leak a fair amount of oil. For that reason a freshly rebuilt 1600 longblock is being installed as I type up this ad and should be all buttoned up within a few days time.
This is a great old Camper that is nice enough to be proud of but not so nice that you don't want to camp with it. Thanks!
