You will never find another one like this!
And along with the camper comes this amazing vintage trailer that has it's own custom

What a rig eh?
Original Westfalia Camping Box decal
Seats redone in an amazing vintage pattern cloth
Detailed and finished all the way through
Original water tank under the seat
Custom curtains and side lamps
Privacy curtain as well up front
Cool Nobility radio and some fun plates and glasses.
Wood slat roof rack is beautifully finished as well.
Here you can see the high gloss to the finish on the body.
Worn... but protected, so it will stay like this.
Great touch of having the Historical vehicle plates done in black and yellow!!
Trailer tows well!
Lights are all functional
Body is very solid on this Bus and there are only a couple spots where
repair was needed. Thos spots were handled properly and carefully blended in to match the surrounding patina.
Suspension has been lowered just a pinch with a straight axle trans conversion in the back and dropped spindles up front.
Correct slotted Bus 15" wheels
So cool!
The Bus itself is a great survivor, very straight, very solid.
The biggest body repair done on this Bus was the repair of the rear wheel arches
that were at one point trimmed out for fat tires.
These have been repaired properly and welded in and the blend is nearly undetectable.
There was some repair as well to the lower back corners, but again, done properly and nearly undetectable in the blend.
Safari back window
Glass is tinted
All the glass has a very light colored tint that really sets it off.
You can see it in this image well...amplified because of the angle of the shot.
Safari windows of course
Center mount antenna
Harp style mirror arms
Long spoon latches on all the pop outs.
Edges of the roof in the gutters are clean and rust free...these were a bit pitted, but no performation
and have been totally cleaned and treated prior to the clear coat application.
Love that sub hatch!
Wood finish inside is superb and the polish on the hardware is jewelry level.
Beautiful in the details.
The dashboard has been repainted, but the rest of the interior is all original paint.

The seat has been redone in leather!
The stock seat has been done in a great leather hyde that the owner sourced.
Real leather...not vinyl, and it has a great texture and look to it.
(and the smell!)
I really love the metal details added to the panels and around the Bus.
They add so much to the look.
Tables have all been redone and are fully functional
The custom light shades are a work of art on their own.

Hitch is strongly installed and it towns the trailer like it is not even there
Engine room is clean and solid

Runs very strong and coupled with the freeway flyer geared transaxle, this is a Bus that
keeps up in the modern world just fine.
Very good runner and driver.
This is a one of a kind.
The patina is beautiful and so artfully replicated in the trailer and matched in the repairs.
Quite the vision and an amazing package with all of the props and accessories.
In the end, this is a truly special machine indeed.
Staring with a very solid and quite rare 1959 Westfalia, in Dove Blue (a rare color for sure on a camper)
the amazing interior that is a magical blend of original equipment and an artful restoration and vintage style customization.
The custom trailer, the performance engine and drivetrain...all of it...it almost seems too much to comprehend.
Ive shown the mother lode of photos and tried to describe it te best I can... but this must be seen to be fully appreciated.
It is a work of art,
