Description
In a world where classic charm meets modern luxury, the 1967 LHD Riviera Campervan stands as a shining beacon of automotive history. This breathtakingly pristine and completely stock camper, once dubbed a "dream split" by Volksworld Magazine in January 2004, is more than just a vehicle; it's a piece of art and nostalgia. This award-winning beauty has been meticulously restored by two of the most revered names in the industry: Steve Nolan of Wolfsburg VW and Paul Irving of Irv's Vintage Restorations. Their touch ensures that this camper meets the highest standards of quality and authenticity.
The Riviera conversion, developed in the United States by Riviera Motors and the Riviera Camper Company in Oregon, offered a fresh alternative to the popular Westfalia campers. Emerging during the vibrant 1960s and 1970s, these conversions quickly became symbols of the counterculture movement, embodying the spirit of freedom and adventure.
1967 holds a special place in the annals of VW history as it marked the final year of production for the beloved split-screen models. This particular Riviera conversion is designed with practicality in mind, perfect for camping and travel. Inside, you'll find a thoughtfully arranged interior featuring a fold-out bed, ample cabinets for storage, and a compact kitchen setup complete with a sink and stove.
Highly sought after by collectors, especially in its current pristine condition, this 1967 VW Riviera camper is a true gem. Its exterior gleams with Pearl White L87 paint, accented by two stainless steel Westfalia style roof racks – one 2-bow and one 3-bow – adding both functionality and style. The camper runs on its original single-port 1500 engine, a testament to its well-preserved heritage.
Additionally, the camper comes with a removable towbar, increasing its versatility for any adventure you embark upon. Born in San Jose, California, on January 22, 1967, this bus is accompanied by its original owner's manual, which remains in immaculate condition.
