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.
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.

The Volkswagen Type 2 microbus, camper, Westfalia, kombi, or simply bus, is an iconic passenger carrier. Made from 1979 right up until 2002, its friendly face and distinctive air-cooled engine note make it instantly recognizable. Widely considered as a Beetle for those with more people to carry, the Type 2 also makes for an excellent camper conversion. This 1988 Volkswagen Vanagon Camper is one such example. Built from a Volkswagen Westfalia GL variant, it’s living proof that you don’t need a massive, multi-axle behemoth to go camping across America’s beautiful landscape. Instead, you can take this compact vehicle and enjoy ample creature comforts. With a healthy 114,000 miles on the clock, it’s got plenty more to give.
It’s hard to find someone who doesn’t like the Volkswagen Beetle – even if they may not outwardly say, or show it. Volkswagen’s lovable little bug-shaped car has been produced in more or less the same form from 1938 to 2003. Envisioned to revolutionize mobility for the German public, the Beetle did that for countless other countries too. Its friendly purr is its aural handshake; the result of its simple and reliable air-cooled flat-four engine. Over 21 million Beetles were made, yet it’s harder than you’d expect to find one up for sale. That’s because most Beetle owners tend to hang on to the car, for obvious reasons. So if you’ve been after your very own Bug, here’s a 1972 Volkswagen Beetle with just 89,726 miles on it. Moreover, the car underwent restoration in 2020, which explains why it looks so fresh.
A weekend drive is the cure to many things, it resets yourself for the tough week ahead and gives you a chance to slow things down and savor the moment. The perfect way to live up a weekend drive is being behind the wheel of a classic and what better classic than this 1972 Volkswagen Super Beetle we have today. With a reported 70,000 original miles on the clock, this low mileage classic is an icon and guaranteed to ensure picture perfect memories on demand.
