1966 VW Camper

This classic split-windshield, Westfalia camper is located in  Manhattan, Kansas.  Although it has basically set idle in a garage for the past 7 years, it has spent most of its life travelling the North American and European continents. This VW has to its credit 5 trips across the Atlantic and eight across the English Channel. 

The interior camping equipment is all original and in excellent condition.  The red naugahide upholstery was done in 1980 at the same time that the bus was totally restored and repainted to match its original burgundy and white.  The one-third pop-top is in good condition except for the rubber seal; there's a new one in an inside cabinet just waiting to be installed. 

The first owner threw a rod on the original engine at about 45, 000 miles; the current engine was installed and has served us well since we bought the bus in 1976; the transmission and transaxle are original.  The complete steering column and gear-box was replaced in 1980.  Total, actual mileage on the bus is just over 92,000 miles.

Yes, there is considerable rust on the lower panels and on the outrigger portions of the frame.  I, feel, however that the bus is totally restorable.  After the undercarriage work is done and the paint is re-touched, this bus will cause heads to turn where ever it appears.  Look at the pictures below and I think you will agree.
