This is a BEAUTIFUL 1978 VW - "Riviera" - Campmobile Bus we have been asked to sell for a friend. As you can see in the pictures it is his pride and joy and in Incredible shape! Careful not to let this 1978, ell cared for, us get away. They are hard to find in this Beautiful condition! My friend always overdoes everything and this is no exception, e spared no expense on this ONE-OF-A-KIND Bus. This bus is concert and camp ready and cruises very nice. My friend tells me these Buses all have names and this one is "Jane", e was going to change it to "Sweet Jane" because her name is Jane; she is sweet, ven tempered, nd is a "Great Song". It still retains its ORIGINAL POP Top with a bed in it and the original canvas sides are all in good shape with a few small tears, he bug screens on the sides have some holes but that's a pretty easy fix if you want to fix them. I have read that the "Riviera" is the most desirable in the Campmobile line and I can see why. This Campmobile was bought new in Alaska and came with the VW factory gas heater option, nd it works, ven the timer option. It made it's way to southern California and has spent its life Garaged there. It has all new Custom Wood cabinets with Surf and TIKI accents. What a value it is at the reserve price which is set very low! Take a look at the lines on this beauty, hat an amazing looking Bus. This BEAUTY is one nice driving rig and is sound and in AWESOME shape. I drove this Bus for about a week as my everyday driver to and from the office and running errands as needed and it ran and drove VERY WELL! I dove it in rush hour traffic and over 60 miles on the Freeway at 65 to 70 MPH with no problems and even up hills the 2.0 injected motor had no problems. If you can make it to Boise in the next ten days please come look at and drive this Beauty for yourself. You won't be disappointed!!

This Volkswagen Riviera Campmobile has the original 2.0 Liter type 4 air-cooled - four cylinder motor in it and it is running well! It has passed CA smog before it was brought to Idaho. The 1978 2.0L now featured hydraulic valve lifters, liminating the need to periodically adjust the valve clearances as on earlier models. The 1975 and later U.S. model years received Bosch L-Jetrinicelectronic fuel injection as standard equipment; 1978 was the first year for electronic ignition, tilizing a hall effect sensor and digital controller, liminating maintenance-requiring contact-breaker points. As with all Transporter engines, he focus in development was not on power, ut on low-end torque. The Type 4 engines were considered the most robust and durable of all the air-cooled engines. The engine is backed by a smooth four speed transmission / transaxle.
