The Volkswagen Bus convoy keeps rolling here at MotoeXotica Classic Cars. Our latest arrival our of Colorado is a very correct and unmolested Sage Green 1978 Volkswagen Bush with the Westfalia Camper option. This example was produced in June 1978. The Westfalia-Werke Van Conversion Company converted the Type 2 VW Vans in to these awesome campers. Volkswagen described the Campmobile as “having a cottage that goes anywhere you want to go”. These icons are still nostalgic head turners today with a lot of fans whenever they head down the road or pull in to a campground.
Everyone loves a Westfalia. It makes people smile and dream, more than any other camper can, and its resale value is bulletproof. There aren’t many cars left that deliver this kind of freedom. Besides, any car, no matter how bad it is, that instantly makes you happy and stress-free behind the wheel; a car that makes you realize that all the tiny, insignificant worries of your stressful life are nothing more than cosmic dust is worth every penny.
Dressed in Sage Green (code L63H) with white roof and accents, this late bay’s paint and trim are in overall excellent condition. The glass is clear and intact, while the van’s lights are in similar condition, including its Hella headlights. The Loaf’s bodywork is straight , its engine bay is tidy and still retains a lot of original factory paint. The bumpers are in excellent order and handsomely match the wheels.
This bus rolls on BFGoodrich Precept Touring radials, 205/70R14 at all four corners. Each tire wraps around a white factory steel wheel topped with a chrome VW center caps. The tires and wheels are in very good order.
Out back is the correct 1970cc flat-four engine that still retains its original-spec Bosch L-Jetronic fuel injection, and which featured hydraulic valve lifters, eliminating the need to periodically adjust the valve clearances as on earlier models. Nineteen seventy-eight was the first year for electronic ignition, utilizing a hall effect sensor and digital controller, eliminating maintenance-requiring contact-breaker points. As with all Transporter engines, the focus in development was not on power, but on low-end torque. The Type 4 engines were reportedly more robust and durable than the Type 1 engines, particularly in Transporter service. Buttoned to this motor is a four-speed manual transmission. This late bay has front disc and rear drum brakes. Underneath the bus you will find solid original floors and factory green painted wheel wells as seen in the accompanying photos
Inside, the upholstery is done Camping Green Yellow Plaid (code 34). The high-backed front buckets are in excellent shape, as is the green carpeting. The headliner is better-than-average and the original, two-spoke factory steering wheel looks great. The inner door panels are in good order, while the instrument pane is in very good shape, complete with its VDO gauges. In back, there’s a factory refrigerator, and sink along with extra seating and storage. Pull the carpet up and you will be very happy to see original factory green painted sheet metal in great condition!
Campmobile features on this Westy include: Rear bench seat converting to double bed with locker below, swivel seat, clothes closet with vanity mirror, ceiling cabinet, linen closet, 12 volt ceiling lamp, 110-125volt AC electrical hook up receptacle, double outlets, master switch and circuit breaker, louvered windows, cabinate with stainless steel sink, 12v water pump, 7 gallon water tank, icebox, curtains, insulated paneled walls, fiberglass pop-up top, weather resistant canvas sides, screened window zipper flap, double bed mattress, front mounted spare tire, outside water hook up and tartan plaid interior upholstery.

om Volkswagen
Volkswagen-berättelsen är verkligen en spännande berättelse om innovation, motståndskraft och efterkrigstidens väckelse, präglat av olika modeller som har blivit ikoniska i bilhistoria.

People's Car (Volkswagen): Ursprungligen föreställt av Adolf Hitler på 1930 -talet som en "folks bil" eller "Volkswagen" på tyska, var tanken att skapa ett prisvärt och praktiskt fordon för det tyska. Detta koncept ledde till utvecklingen av Volkswagen Beetle (eller typ 1), designad av Ferdinand Porsche.
Efterkrigstidens utmaningar: Efter andra världskriget mötte Volkswagen betydande utmaningar. Fabriken skadades kraftigt, och varumärkets förening med den nazistiska regimen ledde till brist på intresse i bilen i vissa regioner.
Brittisk intervention - Den brittiska armén & Ivan Hirst: Den brittiska armén tog kontrollen över fabriken under den omedelbara efterkrigstiden. Major Ivan Hirst, en brittisk arméoffiser, spelade en avgörande roll för att återuppliva Volkswagen. Han erkände potentialen i skalbaggen och förespråkade för dess produktion och övertygade den brittiska militären att beställa flera tusen bilar. Detta beslut hjälpte till att starta varumärkets väckelse.
Exportframgång och Beetle's Global Appeal: The Beetle fick popularitet inte bara i Tyskland utan också globalt och blev en ikon för prisvärd bil. Dess enkla, pålitliga design och unika utseende gjorde det till en favorit bland konsumenterna över hela världen.
Modell Evolution: Under åren introducerade Volkswagen olika modeller tillsammans med skalbaggen, var och en bidrog till varumärkets tillväxt:
Typ 2 (VW -buss eller transportör): Introducerad på 1950 -talet blev det en ikonisk symbol för hippie -rörelsen på 1960 -talet, älskad för sin rymlighet och mångsidighet.
Golf (kanin i USA): Lanserat i mitten av 1970-talet markerade golfen (eller kaninen i USA) en förskjutning mot framhjulsdrivna, moderna design och hatchback-praktik och blev en hörnsten i varumärkets framgång.
Passat, Jetta och andra modeller: Volkswagen utvidgade sin sortiment med modeller som Passat och Jetta, som catering till olika marknadssegment.
Utmaningar och innovationer: Trots framgång mötte Volkswagen utmaningar, inklusive kvalitetsfrågor på 1970 -talet. Varumärket fortsatte dock att förnya och utveckla nya modeller och tekniker.
Rise of the GTI och Global Expansion: 1980-talet såg ökningen av den ikoniska Golf GTI, en högpresterande version som ledde till den heta lucktrenden. Volkswagen utökade också sin globala närvaro under denna period.
Det brittiska ingripandet i att återuppliva Volkswagen efter andra världskriget spelade en viktig roll i varumärkets återupplivning. Även om det kan ha varit några spänningar eller konkurrens mellan bilföretag på 1950- och 1960-talet på grund av Volkswagens framgång efter kriget, stärkte varumärkets förmåga att producera innovativa och populära modeller sin plats i bilhistoria.
