1972 Volkswagen Type 2 Westfalia

This 1972 Volkswagen Type 2 Westfalia is finished in yellow over Alabaster vinyl and is powered by an air-cooled 1,679cc flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes dual carburetors, front disc brakes, 14″ steel wheels, a pop-top roof tent, jalousie side windows, white bumpers, a shore-power connection port, a rear bench that folds into a bed, an overhead cot, a removable child bunk, a sink, folding tables, storage cabinets, privacy curtains, household outlets, and a JVC CD stereo with Bluetooth connectivity linked to Pioneer speakers. Service under current ownership included overhauling the carburetors and brakes, repairing and refinishing the fiberglass top, replacing the upholstery and woodgrain trim, and installing the stereo. This Type 2 shows 20k miles and is offered with service records, current California registration, and a clean California title in the seller’s name. The bus was refinished under previous ownership in yellow and features a refurbished forward-hinged pop-top roof finished in Vintage White. Exterior details include quarter vent windows, non-matching dual side mirrors, jalousie side windows, a shore-power connection port, and white-finished bumpers. The jalousie side window was sealed shut under previous ownership, and the fiberglass rooftop was repaired in 2025. The seller notes a chip in the windshield, a paint chip on the nose beneath the left windshield washer, paint blemishes on the lower front right and below the driver-side window, and a penny-sized spot at the base of the rear window where the seal meets the body. White 14″ steel wheels wear chrome Wolfsburg crest-stamped hubcaps and are mounted with three Goodyear whitewall tires and one unmatched Travel Star whitewall tire. A covered spare is housed in the rear cargo area. Stopping power is provided by front discs and rear drums. The brake master cylinder, brake booster, rear brake hoses, and rear wheel cylinders were replaced under current ownership. The forward cabin houses bucket seats retrimmed under current ownership in Alabaster vinyl with white piping. A pen mark is noted on the driver seat. A Coco mat lines the floor, and additional appointments include crank windows and a Bluetooth-capable JVC CD stereo linked to Pioneer speakers. The cabin heater does not work, though the ductwork is present. A removable canvas loft functions as a forward bunk for children. The right-side sliding door opens to reveal a pop-top roof tent with a sleeping cot as well as an Alabaster vinyl-trimmed rear-facing seat and a third-row bench seat that folds into a bed. Additional appointments include a sink, fold-out tables, storage cabinets, coordinated woodgrain trim, household outlets, and privacy curtains. The refrigerator does not work, and the seller notes a broken hinge on a rear storage compartment. Per the seller: The pop-top canvas is free of rips and tears, opens easily, and requires cleaning. The two-spoke steering wheel frames a 90-mph VDO speedometer and gauges for fuel level and oil temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 20k miles. The ignition switch was recently replaced. The horn is operated by an aftermarket switch on the dash. The air-cooled 1,679cc “Pancake” flat-four features hex-bar throttle linkage, high-performance air cleaners, dual carburetors, and an EMPI exhaust system with dual mufflers. A battery cut-off switch is installed, and service since 2023 reportedly consisted of rewiring the engine bay, overhauling and balancing the carburetors, and replacing the spark plugs and firewall seals. An oil change was performed in preparation for the sale. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle. The clutch was replaced during current ownership. Additional underside photos are presented in the gallery. The VIN listed on the under-windshield tag and stamped on the body reads 2322237388.
