E-Z Camper Project: 1964 VW Type II


'64 EZ Camper 
 
It appears that the EZ company of Little Rock, California converted Volkswagen Type IIs into campers for six years. Here for your review is a 1965 EZ Camper conversion that was done to a ’65 Type II panel van. Listed here on craigslist and now sitting in Shreveport, Louisiana is a 1964 Type II EZ Camper conversion for $12,500.

The seller says that this is an all original unmolested bus that needs a restoration. Some of the missing pieces are two seat cushions and the support rods for the factory side tent.

By the way, the engine, engine bay filler panel and the bay cover are not included with this purchase.

'64 EZ Camper front seat
Yes, that is daylight you are seeing through the remains of the floor panel. Too bad this isn’t a 356! Holes and missing floors appear to be worth big bucks when it comes to 356s.

The seller says the roof and drip rails are in very good condition and the body panels are straight. The interior on the other hand is in need of some serious help to be a usable camper ever again.

In 2011, a long, long, time ago, a 1966 restored example sold for a mere $11K. What do you think that ’66 is worth today?  That sure was a good buy when you look at the Micro Bus Bubble today.  There is a phone number available for you to contact the seller if you have any questions concerning this ’64 model.  There are also more images with the ad for your review. Are you up to this project? If so, we think that maybe you wish you had purchased the ’66 for $11K. We wish we had!
