I'm looking at an 85 Westfalia Camper.

> It has after-market AC (vital here in FL, 97 degrees today).
> Added in California, I think buy a VW dealer.Looks factory.
> For sale by original owner who bought it in Germany.
> Asking $3700.
>
> Questions?
>
> What is it worth?
> Will it be reliable?
> What kind of engine is in it?
> I've owned a few old buses,
> including a cherry 67 that looked great but ate up a lot of my cash.
> Will it be similar to those or is it totally different in character?
> What should I look out for?
>
> Any help appreciated.
