The Volkswagen Type 2 'Bay-Window' Bus succeeded the iconic Split-Window in 1968, bringing significant updates. It featured a single-piece windshield, a more stable independent rear suspension, and more powerful Type 1 and later Type 4 engines. Production in Germany ran until 1979, but its life continued in Brazil until 2013, creating a huge pool of available vehicles with varying specifications.
The Bay-Window's appeal lies in its blend of classic looks and improved usability compared to its predecessor. It's a cultural icon that's more comfortable for road trips and daily use. Camper conversions, especially those by Westfalia, are the most sought-after variants, embodying the 'van life' spirit that continues to attract new enthusiasts.
The market for these buses is incredibly broad, with an average sale price around $18,500. While project vehicles can be found for just a few thousand dollars, pristine, well-optioned Westfalia campers regularly sell for over $40,000. Condition and originality, particularly the presence of a complete and functional camper interior, are the primary drivers of value.
Prices range from $1,250 for projects to over $55,000 for pristine, restored camper variants.
