1976 Volkswagen Transporter Van Yellow Westfalia Camper Bus

1976 Volkswagen Transporter Westfalia Camper Bus Additional Info:

This 1976 Volkswagen Transporter is near original with upgrades to the drivetrain. The owner has had it for 20+ years. The vehicle runs great and is used as a daily driver. “Marigold” is the classic many are looking for! She has low miles and has felt lots of love over the 20 years we have owned it. The motor was replaced by the previous owner and has about 35K miles on it. Manual 4 speed transmission & 2L motor with dual Weber 2 barrel carbs over the dual port heads. I have been the primary mechanic for the past couple of decades and this bus is my “daily driver” as well as an occasional work wagon. Already our friends are in disbelief she might be re-homed.
