1978 Volkswagen Type 2 Riviera Camper – Fresh Restoration & Rebuilt Engine
This 1978 VW Riviera Camper Bus is all the vintage road trip energy you've been looking for — without the “is this thing gonna make it?” stress. It's got a freshly rebuilt air-cooled flat-four with only about 200 miles since the work was done. The original fuel injection? Gone. It's been swapped for a simple, reliable dual carb setup that just runs — like it should.
Outside, you've got new fresh paint, new window seals, new pop-top canvas, and a set of fresh tires ready to roll. It's clean, it's solid, and it's not hiding behind “patina” either.
Step inside and it's a vibe — plaid seats, new curtains, wood-look flooring, and a refinished kitchenette with a folding table and sink setup. Walk-through front seats make getting to the back easy, and a center console take-out stool is included.
It's the perfect mix of nostalgia and functionality. Whether you're cruising to a show or chasing sunsets at the lake, this bus is dialed in and ready for whatever's next.
