Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is excited to present this 1979 Volkswagen Westfalia, a beautifully preserved Bay Window camper that embodies the free-spirited adventure of the 1970s. Finished in Mexico Beige with white bumpers, this van wears a warm and timeless look that captures the easygoing charm of its era. The exterior features a period-correct front-mounted spare tire and the iconic Westfalia pop-top, which lifts to reveal a canvas sleeping loft above the main cabin. Its clean lines, simple chrome accents, and two-tone aesthetic make it a true standout among vintage campers, a piece of rolling nostalgia ready for the next road trip.
Power comes from Volkswagen's reliable 2.0L air-cooled flat-four engine, mounted in the rear and paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. This setup gives the Westfalia its unmistakable driving character, light, engaging, and connected to the road in a way modern campers can't replicate. It's rear-engine, rear-drive simplicity at its finest, and enthusiasts will appreciate the authentic mechanical feel and the distinctive hum of the air-cooled motor.
Inside, this Westfalia delivers the full camper experience with its original-style setup and period details. The brown and plaid captain's chairs set a nostalgic tone, and the fold-down bench converts into a bed for comfortable sleeping accommodations. The pop-top provides a second sleeping area up top, making room for friends or family. The kitchenette is fully equipped with a two-burner stove, small sink, fridge, and fold-away table, along with storage cabinetry and an onboard propane and battery system for off-grid capability. Modern touches like a Panasonic stereo and Pioneer speakers blend seamlessly with the classic interior without detracting from its vintage vibe.
As one of the final years of the classic Bay Window design, this 1979 Westfalia represents the end of an era for Volkswagen's beloved camper vans. Having spent its life in California, it remains remarkably clean and well cared for, a genuine piece of motoring history that's as practical as it is collectible.
