1973 Volkswagen Wesfalia
Heather Jacks Vehicle story
Meet Buster, a 1973 VW Westfalia Camper Bus in his original Sumatra Green. Based in historic Nevada City, California, Buster is available for editorial photoshoots, commercial productions, film sets, and static event rentals throughout Northern California (including Lake Tahoe, Sacramento, and the Sierra Foothills).
Buster is a gorgeous, high-contrast vintage icon that instantly elevates any brand's aesthetic—from high-fashion apparel and lifestyle campaigns to retro wedding exits.
Available For:
Editorial & Brand Campaigns: A striking retro backdrop for commercial photography, fashion catalog shoots, and music videos.
Static Production & Events: The interior is a beautifully clean canvas featuring only the original cot and pop-up tent, giving stylists and art directors complete creative freedom to stage the space.
Chauffeur-Driven Experiences: Perfect for grand entrances, getaway cars, or curated retro experiences (chauffeur provided; no self-driving).
Specs & Highlights:
Rare, original 1973 Sumatra Green paint with classic white-trim bumpers
Flawlessly clean retro cabin with pristine black vinyl seats and classic dashboard
Spacious, clutter-free rear interior—the ultimate blank canvas for styling
Please note that Buster's interior is entirely empty—except for his original cot/sofa—making him a completely open, clean canvas for custom styling, props, or equipment.
Static Rentals: Fuel is 100% included in the rental price.
Chauffeur-Driven Rentals: Fuel is fully included for all bookings within a 30-mile radius of Nevada City, CA. For bookings requiring travel outside of this radius, a flat mileage fee of $1.50/mile (or a custom fuel surcharge) will be calculated and added to the booking.
