I just sold my 68 Westy to a young guy in Texas for
$1000.  The story starts when I bought a 70 Westy for
$700 just outside of Cleveland Ohio and drove it home
to Toledo.  The poor bus was rusty!  I got 3 good
years out of it and tossed in a set of nice tires
before the motormount went on me.  Due to the rust
concerns I decided to scrap the poor beast and got a
friends 68 Westy for $400.  This one didn't run but
the body is in better shape, but still kinda rough.  I
swapped the engines and it got me down the road for
another 2 years till I found a guy that wanted a nice
reliable bus.  Well this one is sure relaiable, it
fired up in 10 below Michigan cold!
Soon this bus will be making its way to Texas and a
new home.  If you see a crusty whiteish 68 Westy with
a piece of plexiglas where the pop top used to be...
give a honk and a wave.
