Let’s shift to next gear after the Christmas and New Years period, @ BBT cars department many new arrivals make our “easy lay back winter period” a busy one….
It offers you the change now to buy at extreme cool winter pricing in the low season!
Two newbies in BBT car dept we like to offer here, arrived safe and sound from far far away West Coast of USA.
Out of respect age first…. this 1964 splitty left the production lines from the German VW Hanover plant in its wonderful color combination of Mouse Grey and white.
Served its whole life what it was bought for with the necessary tender love and care this is a remarkable totally untouched survivor.
Still sports its original factory paint means this baby can’t hide any collision, bondo, bad welding or whatever…. It’s something pure, original and down to the ground….
It needs rockers in and out and cab and passenger floors, parts available in good quality reproduction. It has an engine and transmission, so fairly complete, only needs an overhaul, doesn’t drive or starts at this point….
Drivers compartment is largely complete…. and clean, oh yes we do love unmolested dashboards in splitties….
In the back it’s empty, came as a Westfalia SO22 tin top from the factory, the furniture still inside was reduced to some rotten wood, so we decided to just take everything out for a better overview of the total…
Not too bad huh? Open to all options…
What about you behind this steering wheel? Stop dreaming, this can become reality now!
The second car we like present you today is a rock solid 1972 early bay T2a/b Westfalia rolling shell…
“Saved from the grave” and bought at a shop that was closing down just minutes before the old scrap truck should come to pick it up… Unfortunately far inland and some paper problems raised the price a little, but still rock solid cars are scarce so we’re proud to offer this!
Again… first original paint doesn’t hide you ANYTHING!
A complete body, but no engine, no trans and no interior… leaves this free to your imaginations… on request we can deliver a complete and nice Westfalia interior along or fit it to your rerquest, this off course at cost…
Interior was taken out nicely… who will ever tell why? Such a good bus!
Walk Through baby… hard to resist huh?
No engine, no trans, always wanted that fast Westy? Don’t pay for what you don’t need, start your project yourselves!
Clean and healthy, how many people wants a solid Westy? well more solid they can’t come, top of the bill, that’s it, period!
No comments, compare to 95% of the other Westies out there… get your hands on the good one now you can…
No undercoating, only slight surface rust on a rock solid body, like we used to find them easily 10 years ago, now become more like a rarity… Grab you change while it last….
Now that’s a cool pair of cool buses! We worked hard to find them and nail them down, transport and custom cleared them for EU community… So they’re both readily available in BBT HQ! Don’t let them slip away and contact us today! For the only real fast reply send me an email on Bob@BBT4vw.com for any further information and/or pricing….
Let your dreams come through….
Just back in time to BBT HQ office to present you two lovely first paint buses… we love first paint as there’s nothing to hide, camouflage, less or more…
Ladies and Gentlemen, let me present You…
The 1963 Standard Kombi and 1978 Bay window Sportsman camper!
Let’s start this cute Splittie first… not for the average guy, this a first paint survivor, looks kind a titty at first glance, but look close and You discover a marvel!
Rockers needs replacement and looks ugly, but besides of that this is a very easy project in contrast what I see on internet lately being restored!
First paint don’t hide… this is a safe buying, no compromises to make, you see what you buy, a cool old straight bus… make it yours…
Cool roof rack adds to the fun, is this not the kind of bus every real bus-lover would like to touch and make it a cool cruizer? I do for sure!
Inside we made a full width rock and roll bed, that we had laying around, if you don’t need we’re glad to keep… Loading floors needs replacement too, but with the good reproductions available it’s not that hell of a job anymore….
Cabin is like it should, still supports original seat frames , unmolested and complete dash, pretty solid cab floors, hmmm, Yammie!
The nice for this baby is underneath… Original metal gives so much peace of mind, no rather peace for soul!
This baby runs, drives and brakes, always a nice point to start from!
Our second arrival today is a pretty special one… a very solid 1978 Bay window sportsman camper, in first paint, some surface rust, but that doesn’t take the solid part away!
Pushed by its strong 2.0 litres engine this baby runs like it should, also brakes seems to be fine, but needs some adjustment, anyway, as always we advise full service before taking cars like this to the public road anyway, don’t spoil your investment…
Surface rust it’s a pitty, but still we prefer instead of structural rust!
Where can you find complete bay windows at a moderate price these days? Yes at BBT… Westfalia’s become way to expensive for many, buy a Sportsman camper for only half of the price! and actually they’re finish is nice as well!
Some serious cleaning might give this baby the look you might like?
The cozy interior at the back!
Walk Through to enjoy all from your bus from the inside…
Yes, dry metal underneath… don’t think about welding too much, a bay window is not easy, start from a solid project!
Pop top is fully functional, tent needs replacement..
This 1978 is a cool driver, a bus with minor needs in a very affordable budget. your first Bay? This is a perfect one, Drive, enjoy fix all at the same time time… welcome to the wonder wold of bus land!
Any of these buses catched your interest? Don’t delay call Bob today! Just email me on on Bob@BBT4vw.com for pricing or more information!
A picture from 4 Split window buses ready for transport in Sunny California, we worked hard on these ones, splitties are really getting hard to get… but we managed through our contacts… in a couple of months they will be here in BBT HQ and will be offered for sale…
And now, … I’m gone again and jump on the train to the airport…. stay tuned for BBT travel report in the upcoming days….
