This van is currently in Portland. I have only had this van for two months andhaven't even registered it yet in Oregon so it still has California plates. VIN: 239080416 It has 44000 onodometer so am guessing its 144000. I have had a huge change in circumstance since purchasing the van and sadly have to sell my dream van at a financial loss. I need it sold by this weekend as leave for Germany on Tuesday. With this in mind I probablywouldn't be able to ship anywhere unless it could all be done Monday. Please contact me before buying if you require shipping to see if it is even possible with this limited time frame. I am willing to drive it to you within 100'ish miles of Portland due to time restraints. Please text or call with questions Melissa 720.982.6864 as I am super busy and thats just the easiest way for me to respond in a timely manner. I reserve the right to cancel this ebay sale at any time due to also having it advertised locally.Blurb from previous owner in California: Thisisa uniqueopportunity to own a 1969 VolkswagenWestfaliawith completedocumentedhistoryinSanDiego.

They would own it for the next 44 years until just earlier this year as it had been unused for the past 5 years.

Body:This bus isvery dry.Has solid originalfront floorpans and belly pans. Some rust repair was done underneath the batteryat somepoint in its life.

not a replacement panel like wewould dotoday but itis aninconspicuous and minor patch. Originally Pearl Whiteitwasrepainted by the previous owner

itisnow not too far off though hasamorecreamhue when compared to the original. Apprearancewise the paint has just been wet sanded and buffed out as well as had some small scratches here and there touched up and has a nice shine and extremely presentable – it isn’t perfect but in my opinion a solid 8/10.

Interior:This bus has all new interior – original style black basket weave front seat covers all new grey vinyl rear seat and bed covers including the extra Westfalia stool. The rear flooring is new vinyl laid down over the original linoleum and all the wood paneling was re-done in original Baltic Birch. Needless to say it feels like new inside but still retains its old world charm. The cabinets and tables have their patina with new original style Westfalia handles installed to replace the brittle sun baked originals. Windows will crank out just as they should pop-top canvas has no issues or rips and looks almost like new. One of the most astounding features on this bus is the unbelievable original condition of its Westfalia side tent. It has only been up 3 times in the last 40+ years that I know of – twice by the previous owners and once by me. Bus also has curtains removable front windshield curtain and read mosquito new as well as period folding picnic table included.

Mechanicals: The bus starts runs and drives tight and solid. The engine is a replacement block updated with an alternator and the later style oil cooler. 1600 dual port single carb. It runs extremely smooth and powerful with a positive exhaust note. Has the usual VW bus drop of oil after a drive runs nice and cool doesn’t overheat timing and points just set valves adjusted and carb tuned up. The transmission is smooth and tight and shifts smoothly through all the gears no noises and does not pop out of any. Steering is light and smooth and fluid just topped up has a little free play in the middle that could be tightened but nothing excessive. The brakes stop the bus perfectly straight no pulling rear cylinders were replaced and the drums cleaned up. Pedal sits high and seels great.
