My friend Sue, in Ashland, Or, is trying to buy this!

I know, but teasing Daryl with it is fun 8)

If she does tell her to check if it had the no fire option thing done.

I don't remember why the old westy's were flammable, but they went up often enough that it's a known problem.

Beautiful 69  8)

$18,000???? :o Is there something special about this model?  My only experience with VW campervans is seeing them at the campsites and for sale in Europe, but they didn't cost anywhere near that amount.

They go for a lot more than that if there completely rebuilt, up to $25-26. That one needs some TLC, I'd go no higher than $13-14

Check again-the high end westfalias are anywhere from 80-100.

Do they get that? No clue.

Cheaper than housing in cali.

They get it. I posted an early 23 window that went for over $200k

My go to site

www.thesamba.com (http://)

I saw a basket case 21 window go for $7500.

I considered it.

We all know you're not right.

Paula met me and I didn't have a car.


She had no idea until post marriage.




Poor girl.

She's an adult. ;D

She met me, T, and Z...and still married you.

I have no sympathy. ;)

If you really want one, keep searching the Samba, no better source.

The difference in price between 21-23 window is huge

I've never wanted one-just if the prices those were going for were at all worth it I would've (attempted) to fix it up and flip it.

That you can do, not sure what you'd make in the end after all your work.

Not a clue.

This build is worth a read through if you haven't seen it:

I got a contact buzz looking at that.  :D

Ya know...

that burned out van was just down the road at the local tow yard.

I didn't shoot it...or incinerate it...

I save that for toasters... :-*

I simply posted a make the beast with two backsing picture.

Wow...  Posting a denial without being accused...  That is usually a sign... ;)

Seen this thing at shows for years. It is wicked.

Nah  [thumbsdown]

Used to love those.  Put myself thru college restoring air cooled VWs.

I had a '71 Campmobile (AKA Westfalia), the last year of the Type 1 engine... The Westfalia name didn't come about until the Type 4 models, mine had CAMPMOBILE emblazoned on the hand-pump sink. 

I got it my second year of college, immediately dropped the old engine and transaxle, and built a brand new 1800cc motor with all Gene Berg components and a beefed up gearbox.  Kadron carbs, fully balanced crank, balanced and lightened pistons and rods.  IT ran so smooth.

I drove it all the way to Belize one summer, the next summer all the way up to Alaska.

Gene Berg was 'the man'

(http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa91/chiflado/CDB199FC-5046-4131-9834-3B26E7B375D5.jpg) (http://s201.photobucket.com/user/chiflado/media/CDB199FC-5046-4131-9834-3B26E7B375D5.jpg.html)

i still have all his tech articles on paper... and a brand new universal case he modded for me.. still in the box.

That's awesome, nobody here ever heard of Gene. He did amazing stuff with the VW.

23 Window

(http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa91/chiflado/AF31E35B-3F20-4F70-BAC9-9D55FFA1CC68.jpg) (http://s201.photobucket.com/user/chiflado/media/AF31E35B-3F20-4F70-BAC9-9D55FFA1CC68.jpg.html)

I have a ton of crap from him.  His wife used to toss in tons of Zotz with the orders.  His sons took over, I think.  I haven't hand my hands in a old VW in ages. 

That bus I rebuilt had a completely reworked crank.. stroked to 74mm.  Gene did the heads himself.  He was a huge proponent of moderate compression engines, so all of his street engines had 6.8-7.2:1 compression IIRC.  He also sold that Oberg filter setup for the VW with the element sensor which I put on all my cars. 

The only one I never got to work on was  a Notchback.  I restored several "station wagons" (buses) and all the bugs, ghias and squarebacks, but never a notchback. 

Stumbled across this. :D
My old coach fitted his out with an "Elefant" motor kit.  I forget the actual capacity, it was more than 2 litres, maybe three or more with Porsche hot up parts. Cant remember the details. You guys would know about those ay?

I think they overloaded that one   :-\

This one though... [drool]

Nope, suspension is slammed. Only way to go with an old bus.  8)

 ;)

Check the back wheels on the notchback

this is a notchback i was referring to...  type 3 motor..
(http://www.curbsideclassic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/VW-1500-1962notchback.jpg)

I can do this all night long.  8)

I love those.  Such a sweet looking car.

So bad ass!!

Did you ever see the Rometsch?

I've only seen one at a show in soCal.  Type 1 motor, bug frame.  So pretty.

i'm building my 1st vw right now ( 73 baja).

 8)

want a brand new case?  i have a brazilian universal case.  still in the pickling.

that's a nice fastback..  loved those too.. basically, the type 3 was the best VW motor.  put the coolign fan right on the crankshaft -- where it belongs.

All that make the beast with two backsing work to make a nice fastback Ghia and they ruin it with that nasty bumper.  [bang]

^^ Oooh... now that's NICE  [thumbsup] [thumbsup]


(Still has proper ride height. I gotta confess I don't really get....  all these low-arse, almost sitting on the ground suspension mods  :-\).

Get off my lawn.  :D

Was that last one an actual production VW or a mod?

JM

I've never seen a squareback with a bug nose.

Neither have I.  I think it's a good looking rig.

JM

It's a mod afaik

Yup...very cool. [thumbsup]

I gotta agree with Stalin about the ride height thing...

the stockers look better. :-*

The local VW place has a very stock one of those pictured above.  It's really a sight to see.  I would love to take it for a spin.  That and the original turbo Ghia they have sitting there too.

JM

I didn't realize the black one was lowered.

Ghia.... ;D

That 'squareback' with the bug nose looked like the aft part was from one of the buses, those scoops look familiar.

I'll just put this right here.

Buddy in high school had one.  Silly boy forgot to put oil in it for a little too long.

I had two different 69's. Liqueured up in DC one night I threw a belt, and tried to get home anyway. Cooked the motor.  [bang]

Just enough.  8)

Love the Type 3 Ghia.  Between this and a Rometsch, I would be in heaven.

THat's not a squareback rear.  Scoops are bus. 

There was a kit for a while to make a flatbed bug and people would sometimes put a bus butt on it.

even looks like a bus.

They look so good lowered like that and the 23 window is the shit

I do imagine that with the front windows open that far that highway driving resulted in bug consumption.

JM

You're assuming the bus could even catch the bugs!  [laugh]

Well, there is that.  Nothing worse than loosing a race to a mosquito.

I meant VW bug's.  ;D

My pops had a slew of DS19's and one or two DS21's in the 1970's.
New replacement parts were horrendous expensive, so 2-3 parts cars were employed to keep 1 running.
Frequent replacement of worn-out parts with half worn-out parts.  :-\

One of those vans would be cool, piques my interest.
But I'm sure they're priced well above what I'd be willing to pay.
And I served every year of my Citroen Sentence, and didn't get any reduction even with good behavior.

My brother broke down in a Peugot during the Blizzard of '78 in Boston.

Some fine French engineering. ;D

There are short video clips of the UK Wheeler Dealer episode on the HY van. They restored/upgraded it completely and sold it for, IIRC, about $30,000.

My Brother-in-Law's bus.  Just a basic camper.  My sister and him rode all over town dressed as hippies and with them both having huge phony joints (we're talking a foot long or so) with solar lights making the cherries up on Halloween in it.  It was pretty hilarious.

That is cool as shit, but the tires look to be quite a bit of overkill considering the limited ground clearance.

I find the little things interesting.  Like how the emblem and such got shaved, but the owner left the door handles and the rectangle front signals.  Not that I'm complaining, a very clean execution indeed!  Just interesting...

Not a lot of shaving to remove the badge (it's not a pussy).

Didn't some of them have a recess for the badge to sit in?  Maybe I was thinking of an earlier year...

All I've ever seen is a few small holes when you pop the badge off. Split windows definitely weren't recessed. afaik

That's like saying a stock Monster (real one) looks right.  :D

All the wheels you posted, besides the steel OEM, are too much...IMO.

Maybe it's the 'polished' finish?

There must be a middle ground somewhere. :-\

It's pretty much these two setups across the board, except for some exotics here and there.

That teal bus and trailer look cool.

Can they be fitted with a realistic modern motor?

How far can you go toward current motors before the purists start yelling?

No disrespect intended, but I've driven later models, and I wouldn't want to hitch a trailer to 'em.
Any hill or headwind and you're stopped.

There's tons of 'hot rod' engines that can be run. A good 1600cc dual port will move along pretty well. Next step would be 1776 or 1800, but if you want to do wheelies you can go to 1914cc and up. These guys build all kinds of turn key motors.

70 or 71 model

flat hub caps give it away.

that's exactly the model i had. 

My bus motor was a ground-up brand new Gene Berg case and crank.   Stroked crank.  Put out just over 1900cc.  The crank was fully balanced and blueprinted.

I used the dual Kadron carbs that Berg sold. I wanted to try his EFI setup that he developed, but never did it.

Berg modified the case to use a full flow oil filter, with a bypass at the pump.  It was incredible.  I used an Oberg mesh filter with the sensor.  All stuff that Gene Berg used in his drag cars.

Heads were flycut to keep compression lowish, i think it was around 8:1 with that stroker crank.  But it ran very smoothly.  Gene set me up with a matching cam profile that kept it streetable.  It was such a work of art.

That's awesome, but how much air can that motor really get in that configuration? Seems like it may have cooling issues.

I'm sure it's another model. Joel keeps posting pictures of toys.  ;)

I'm just confused how you lot can tell what motor is in it without seeing it.

Hmmm.....  STI Westie...  No, I shouldn't go down that road.

Are Subie/VW bellhousing interface the same?

I doubt it, but the VW mill is a boxer, the Subie is a boxer, so it could be an interesting project.

go for it. [evil]

Cutting off the top half and welding it to another one would be easier.  :P

Yup...

and the value is in the windows. 8)

Go for it...sell it to kopf when you finish it...

and post links to the youtube videos here in this thread.

It'll be awesome...

like a reality show.  ;D

If we want views for said show.....



I would just shoot out the windows and see what Kopf did to me.

It'd be a toss up if he whupped me for my shooting ability or destroying the bus first.


Paula might defend me, which would add to the hilarity.

There's glass left in that poor old thing?

Let me clean my glasses. ;D

It'd bring home some serious coin if brought back to life, but that'd be a lot of make the beast with two backsing work.

Don't shoot the bus! He ain't done nothing.  :D

Bang! Bang!

I've got enough projects.

I'm not young enough that I don't know better than that one. The only way to make a small fortune in the restoration business is to start with a large fortune
  :P

Same thing with restaurants...or so I'm told.

John Force when asked how to become a millionaire in drag racing said, start with 2.

Sounds about right, given my past experience with drag racing.

I remember years ago at Pomona, in the pits, seeing a 10-wheel tractor and 8-wheel trailer rig.
And the trailer labeled Econo Dragster.
WTF.

Don't think so.

The tow vehicle in the first pic has an extra window behind the door.

Still cool...and it looks done. ;) [ it might be a model]

from the fb I copied it, most are finished vehicles

The 'real' one is a bay window bus. The 'model' is a split window.
