1973 Volkswagen Camper Van Review - Here For The Good Times 

So cool to see my bus on here! Thanks Zach! Can't wait to see ya back here!

Zack: Acceleration test: Bus: Bus: Bus: Zack: nice

Finally a good honest review. So many people think these are terrifying to drive but a late model VW bus actually has really decent driving dynamics for the era and type of vehicle it is. They will do 65-70 just fine, they ride well and are well made.

Good review. The side windows are called louvered windows.

Awesome video! Such a cool and chill vibe with the bus and the rain

I learned to drive stick on one of these in a very hilly area.

Friends of mine bought one of those years ago about a week before they moved out, a westfallia , it was candy apple red!

You just made my day. I grew up with this bus. We called it “the carrot” my dad swapped the engine with a Porsche it didn’t do anything crazy HP but I thought it was so cool. I miss being a kid. Liked and subscribed. I’m a vw fan boy so do more man!

From 1977-79 the horsepower on the 2000cc motor is 67 horsepower, and , this Bus in the review is 67 Horsepower. 0-60 is 33 seconds. From 0-50 they can accelerate as quickly as 13.9 seconds. Mine is a 76 Automatic. Around town it feels ok. Passing a car on the highway, not really. LONG highway grades, OYYYY. Steep short hills, no problem. Plan to spend thousands to get them running safely, once up and running well they can go distances pretty easily. I wouldn't recommend highway travel speeds beyond 60ish. 65 is ok, but vary speeds 55-65 regularly so it doesn't run too hot. I love it. I also want to add that the Bus was NOT built for fun. It was a workhorse, built for businesses, there were ambulances, police Bus's, Even fire truck Bus's. They were used in schools, at convents, etc. etc. Now we "collect" them as fun classic vehicles, but really they were workhorses. Also, By the end of the 70's the 4 long distance land travel records were all from VW Bus's. They went everywhere.

Being a owner of two Volkswagens I'm a bit envious of you right now..lol

Cool i like the features

Acceleration test. 0 to 60 in 35 seconds. My wife has a 78 model the fast one. She says when she tries to pass a semi she gets beside them and has to drop back behind them.

Oh my just look like mine 🤩 but is hard for me to drive it . cuz the speed is just like zic zac I can’t used the reverse I don’t know why is too hard for me , I know how drive manual I have BMW 6 speed easy to drive. Looking for someone who paint my VW 1973.. nice video.

❤️❤️

Sad to see that automatic go. Don't get me wrong, I love stick and I'd rather own a stick than an auto, but the automatic transmissions were extremely rare and kinda expensive from the factory

Love It # 1

Had one for a couple years, 1981- 1984. Had a Porsche engine with dual carburetors and an automatic transmission. A pain in the rear to maintain. Another issue: starting. The wiring distance from the battery to the ignition is too far. Never reliable. Worst issue: Doesn't heat well at all. Froze my ass off in Tennessee mountains. Also means the windshield fogs up like crazy.

I have this car

Did he really say overheating is not a problem?

Is this the bus that has the icebox under the sink

:)

Love your vids, keep them up!!! I might have a kinda cool car for you to review, hit me up ;).

My, Grandparents had one,of these It, was a 1970, V.W. bus. One day it was My Grandmother's B-Day so My Aunt invited to her house. I, have old home movies, of that On, super 8mm the, only thing that, I, can't show you, that because The, projector bulb burnt, out That's why.

so what you are saying is its a german market bus shipped to the usa

How much is one like that worth?

Volkswagen company was started by Adolph. It's a fact, but you should not hold it against VW.
