Lot #375.1 - Nicknamed "Pistachio," this is a 1975 Westfalia Deluxe Helsinki Camper Bus. During its restoration every component was professionally inspected and repaired to factory specs or replaced with original German parts when available. This camper bus is loaded with factory and dealer options including: a propane two-burner stove, 12-volt sink with 10-gallon tank, icebox/refrigerator, power/battery charger, water hookup, front drive-in table, middle accessory table, rear swivel table, complete original curtain set, mosquito net for rear hatch, Westfalia power cord, jump seat option, factory camp stool, rare option map light, German chrome finger guards, and its original Blaupunkt AM radio. It even has the elusive yellow bucket with lid for the center console. The original chrome front and rear bumpers with the bump strips are in good condition as is the original carpeting and matting. It has a new 3-window pop-top canvas tent and the front screen zips out for access to the luggage rack. The stove and sink are in good condition with a new sink pump and fresh propane, and all interior lights are correct. The cabinets are all in good condition. The factory side awning is great for additional shade or shelter from the elements. It also has the rare factory-original collapsible spare tire and Coleman/VW air pump. The nicely detailed motor compartment houses the updated 2000cc engine with hydraulic valves that was rebuilt with all German parts. The 4-speed manual transmission was checked and serviced, and new CV axles, joints and boots were installed. The front end has all-new ball joints, tie rods, center link pin, drag link and new alignment. It rides on Michelin tires and new KYB shocks. It has a new front shaded windshield, reupholstered front seats, and rebuilt brake shoes, lines, calipers, rotors, pads and wheel cylinders. The Yosemite Yellow paint is in good condition and the whole thing has been fully prepped and undercoated to be preserved for years. Included with the vehicle are receipts up until 1999 when the bus was taken off the road and stored.
