You have a Westy someone gutted and converted to a station wagon. Check out the wood panel headliner and the power outlet on driver's side. You should have an unpainted Westfalia data plate riveted to the partition behind the seat (driver's seat IIRC). Solid roof makes it a "Caravette" (as opposed to pop top "Continental"). Back when I collected, my specialty was 68-71 T2. I do miss them.

At 13:30.... the lettering on the front of the radio reads "All Transistor". Wow - that radio is definitely old! At 22:25, Dubwerks mentioned that the engine in this Westie is "unparisited". I saw that when Jay pull up the info on this bus on the website. Dunno - I'd think that it might mean that there's no smog air pump on it (U.S. air pollution regs at that time), or that there's no accessories (ex., A/C compressor on it) installed on the engine. Strange term! At 23:50, Dubwerks pointed out the German stickers on the back, and that indicated that the Westie spent some significant time over there after it was picked up at the factory. I'd bet that that the original owner may have been in the U.S. military, or that they arranged to buy the bus in Germany to take a long trip before they returned to the U.S., and had the bus shipped back.

I can’t believe, the bus comes originally from my old hometown in Germany. The sticker on the bus , Gruß aus der Rhön is an indication that the bus is originally from Germany. The Rhön Mountains are a group of low mountains (or Mittelgebirge) in central Germany, located around the border area where the states of Hesse, Bavaria and Thuringia come together. A major city in the area is Fulda, where 1000 of American Soldiers were stationed until the early 90’s. Most likely one of those fellows brought the Bus here to America. Also, the other sticker with the arrow pointing upwards says”Hallo Partner, Danke Schön.” This sticker was around the years from 1971-1974. It was a kind of awareness logo from the German Government to drive safely and cautious.Anyhow, keep up the good show. Love it. Hans

Yes, that is velvet green. 68 buses used some carryover colors from the split bus era. Titian Red and Lotus White were also used. Interesting bus, tourist delivery at the factory. So a tin top Westy interior that someone ditched for a junkyard interior at some point? I have had those tall over riders on a bay bus before, I figured they were a dealer item or JC Whitney aftermarket. I wonder if that hitch is a factory/dealer item? There are threaded holes for install, I have a couple of those hitches in my stuff. Those rear jail bars could have been installed at the factory, Any sign of them also having been installed in the rear side windows? That front beam has the later bolt pattern. 68-69 were the same, changed in 70 and stayed that way through 79. Yours is likely a 70, unless someone went through the hassle of installing drum brakes and spindles on a later model disc brake beam.
