Slightly customized, but nicely colored “within the lines”… this is a beautiful car, and can be yours… made as a project to spend time well worth at the start of last owners retirement. it’s just a gorgeous build, nicely detailed car, out of service for at least 5 years we picked up, hooked up a battery, changed fluids and off we went, I guess that’s what they call “Build Quality”… this one is made good…..
Paint holds up very nice and is in very very good condition, the black canvas hood is also close to “as new” condition… topped off with a set of chromies!
The slightly lowered stance is a pleasure for the eye, don’t You think?
For a Ghia convertible the gaps on doors and hoods are very reasonable lined up, its important too as it tells a lot about condition of the body….
The Fat boy muffler finish the look from the back, what’s under the hood???????
Look at these lines, like an arrow as straight!
More arrow….:)
Inside we await the clock that’s out for repair, but does come along! the HURST shifter can be replaced with a stock one, but we must admit this shifter drives real well, shift so smooth! this was also the very mother model of all shifters, a pure vintage speed item it is! The seats and carpets are all clean as we could expect from the outside, no surprises, some extra gauges to keep en eye on the power plant in the back…..
And a power plant it is! wowh! this baby rocks, hydraulic lifters, dual carburetors You name it, not the most fast, but extreme reliable, to cover extreme long Texas distances in a glimp…. so You can drive this where ever You want to go, all over Europe! what a machine….
If a Ghia Convertible is on your wish list this might be it… we sell this car at about half of a restoration cost, maybe even less… so this is an extreme good deal for you! for all information and or prices just send me an email on Bob@bbt4vw.com or come to visit us at the Spa Francorchamps Le Bug Show on the weekend from 3 and 4 august 2013, we will have this car at our booth, …..unless sold before….:)
This is a consignment sale from a very local customer, he spend the last couple of years to really pamper his little bay window, but other projects force the sell…

With pain in his heart…. but after 20 years of traveling Western Europe in “his” Westfalia and coming to age of 70 “healthy” years, Jimmy, aka “Papa Vans”, brought in his extreme cool SO34 to sell through the BBT network.
Jimmy was the first official importer for Vans in Belgium.
Everybody knows globetrotter “Jimmy” …. he simply brought his beloved Westfalia just everywhere, mostly accompanied by his daughter Sarah, or one of his grand children…. we can easily state Sarah grew up in Papa Jimmy’s Westy…
This bus was a regular at just ANY show around western Europe… and still beautiful and appealing as ever….
All the goodies on board, ready to travel….
Interior to die for…. pure early sixties style….
Safari front windows (original VW! no fakie doo’s!) US bumpers, front and rear roof rack made by Belgian late legend “Jojo” … You name it, its all here… this bus won so many prizes, not because of the best, but simply because of appearance… Jimmy has style like no one else….
Cosy?
Drivers compartment, or shall we call this VW heaven?
View through the front window….
Your change to take place behind the wheel… forever
Magic attraction?
So nice and appealing from every corner…
Sssst we’re still sleeping…. imagine yourselves with your beloved ones on the border of a lake in Switzerland, Italy or Sweden, on the side of a Fjord in Norway, or near the tower of Pisa in Tuscany, surfing Biaritz in the South of France, or drive the “promenade des Anglais” in Menton the French Riviera, or just a weekend away around Holland or Belgium? Priceless family shots ahead, where this Westy easily can bring You, Jimmy quit, but Westy is not retired yet!
Jimmy for sure we will miss You, it was always good to hang out together with a cold one…. and I hope You will still visit us times to times, as Belgian VW land will not be the same without You anymore….
Right after Samba buses the early Westfalia’s are the most valuable of them all… VW buses rise in value consistently for over 12 years now, no banker can show You statistics about one of his products like values of VW buses went up… and because its recently gained cult status we don’t see this ever stop anymore, prime investment opportunities…. finally an investment that brings You joy, happiness and a perfect down wind from stress opportunity… simply stated; better as banks and doctors together!
For all and any information about this van just send me an email on Bob@bbt4vw.com
Don’t let slip this original SO34 away, chance that You can only buy it once are very realistic here!
