- Volkswagen Bus,
VW Buses everywhere!
Is this heaven? No, it's the 31st Annual Bug-In Classic Car Show in Minneapolis.
Twin Cities VW Club 2017 Bug-In 31st Annual Event.
I've come here to continue my dream of one day owning and restoring a VW Bus. What is so exciting about Restoring a VW Bus. I don't know. I just feel the need, the need for slow speed. So I have come to look at some of the most beautiful Volkswagen Buses and Bugs I have ever seen.
I hope you enjoy looking at all of the VW Buses, and Bugs, and you might even spot a love bug in here somewhere.
There's some seriously beautiful buses in this episode.

I'm 69 years old. Many years ago I owned a '71 VW camper. It was slow, no A/C and required a lot of TLC. But I went over most of North America in that thing. Of all the vehicles I've ever owned (and I've owned plenty) that VW camper van is my favorite. Good luck with your quest.
I drove a 74 Westfalia in the 90s and I notice they all have detail differences. Some with rotating seats, with and without headrests. Others with different sinks, fridge and storage arrangements. Some even with gas stoves. My camper had no headrests or stove and I removed the icebox console for added space and just brought a portable cooler. They are all so unique and individual. One thing they all have in common though is very efficient use of space. For ten years I travelled across the country and enjoyed many great camping trips in this old girl, but it all came to an end when rust and rot got to the chassis and the front wheel sunk into the frame.
I have a 79' & it was once a dream of mine as well that I turned into a reality 2 years ago. A big piece of advice right now is to buy one if you want one. As the value continues to climb they will just continue to become more rare to find and expensive. Look at it as an investment. Not only could I make money from mine at this moment, I get to meet so many people that have a story about a VW and I get so many people that want pictures and just want to BS! It's a whole lifestyle that revolves around it. Just do it! You won't regret it!
In ‘71, on my way home from the service I bought a white ‘65 step thru bus for $750 and loved the simplicity of it but it was slow. I had no idea how to take care of it and let it go in 76. In ‘81 married my wife and I bought a bay window. It was still air cooled and slow, took way more maintenance than a domestic van and was three times more noisy. I’m currently having an ‘84 Westy built and very much looking forward to doing a bit of camping in my old age. All this aside, from what I see on line the ONLY VW van that is reasonably reliable is the Eurovan. Starting in 2001 I think they are water cooled and have adequate power to keep up with interstate traffic. They are reasonably quiet and much more reliable than the T2.5 and T3 versions. My ‘84 is water cooled so I am hoping for the best. Good luck on your quest. Let us know how the search goes. The geen bay window was pretty cool
My Grandparents, had a 1970 VW bus transporter ,& in 1973, my Family

Thank you so much for the amazing videos Matt!

The Beetle at
Awesome. I am wanting a Volkswagen bus as well and this is a perfect video. Thanks for shooting this.
I'm enjoying these bus videos! As a bus driver, my advice is to always carry duct tape, wire, screwdrivers and a socket set. Ha!
I was you, 34 years ago, when I as 20. I bought a 1969 and drove it for 11 years, then I sold it and immediately bought a 1979, which I think is rather the best of all worlds, a 2 liter engine, but still rounded corners. My advice is go on the

Tool kit is necessary but I still have dreams about my 1975 Campmobile. My Mexican friends loved it too. Great car for international travel.
I have this dream too.
Partial to a camper van with the pop up top and small kitchenette. (Thought they were the coolest things when I was little. Still do)
Some nice buses there.
Very nice video. Thanks. I have owned a few buses. 1965, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1971. Best to get the best one you can afford. Restoration costs way more money then you will ever get out of it. Splitties are the most desired and the most expensive. Bay windows 1968 to 71 have the bug engine and are simpler. Past 71 they have the porche engine and are more complicated. Find local club and meet the guys.
