When you think about a VW "Bread Box," you probably picture hippies roaming the country and hanging out at concerts-but there's much more to these odd yet iconic vehicles. This 1973 Volkswagen Westfalia Camper Bus is in such good shape that it's ready to roam the country, and if road trips aren't your style, it's more than welcome at local car shows. VW buses have a huge cult following with clubs, swap meets, shows, and gatherings. This fully restored Pastel White example wouldn't just fit in-it would likely bring home a trophy or two.
The interior is an outstanding recreation of how people once traveled in these VW campers. It's cozy, convenient, and fun. The front seats and door panels have been redone in dark beige and mustard yellow cloth and vinyl, while the black dashboard looks just as super clean. The VDO speedometer is flanked by a clock on one side and a small gauge cluster on the other. An AM/FM radio sits to the right of the driver, and the floor-mounted shifter is within easy reach. Moving toward the rear, the woodgrain vinyl appears nearly new. Amenities include a newer fridge, sink, ample storage, a hammock, and a bed in good shape. A power outlet is also available to keep devices charged or to handle other electrical needs.
Under the rear hatch, the drivetrain is nearly new with fewer than 1,000 miles on a fresh rebuild. The super-clean engine bay hosts an 1800cc engine with a 2-barrel carburetor, paired with a 4-speed transmission and VW bus transaxle. The unibody construction rides on a torsion beam front suspension with shocks, while the rear features an IRS torsion setup with shocks. Factory-style 14-inch wheels with hubcaps wear 185R14C tires. Stopping power comes from front disc brakes and rear drums, while a stock-style single exhaust keeps things quiet.
