1969 Vw Bus - Westfalia Vanagon Van on 2040-cars
Maize, Kansas, United States

I am selling my 1969 VW Bus. It is a nice bus. Lots of compliments on it. Overall, I think it is in better condition than most of them out there. I have always been fascinated with them, and had to buy this one.
I have redone most of the interior on it. It has all new carpet and all new panels. Before I put the new carpet in, I sealed the entire floor with undercoating/rubber. Everything has been reupholstered. New Visors are installed. New radio. I also put a brand new Baltic Birch wood roof in it. I put new polished wheels and tires on it. Very few miles on these. At the time, I put undercoating in the wheel wells, so they look great. The bus originally had a pop up roof in the center. A roof was cut from another bus and riveted on this one. Most people dont even notice it. So, it looks like a cross between a transporter and camper. Obviously, it can be camped in still, as it has the bed and closet, yet it doesnt have the hassle of a leaking pop up tent. Mechanically, it is a sound bus and runs great. It was owned by a vintage VW mechanic before me. The gauges all work. I want to be as clear as I can, so here are my critiques: -I just installed new heater cables. They need to be attached at the heater boxes. -The paint looks pretty good, but I don't think it got the best paint job prep in the world. There are a few placed where there is a little surface rust under the paint. See the pictures. I gave an example. -There is a dent in the rear passengers quarter panel. That's the closet side, so its hard to see from. I have had quotes of $200-600 to fix it. Not a big deal. I would probably just spray the white half of the bus when this is fixed, and that would eliminate 90% of the paint issues I mentioned. -A few of the window gaskets could used replacement. The ones that I would do are the 2 front windows. They are $35 each. It has around 103,000 miles according to the odometer. It is a blast to drive. I prefer that the buyer pick it up in person and pay cash. This way, there is no doubts or surprises. It can be shipped at the owners arrangement and expense. Payment is due IN FULL within 2 weeks of auctions close. |

Volkswagen Group previews its wares on eve of Geneva show
Mon, 05 Mar 2012The Volkswagen Group is comprised of 11 brands producing 240 vehicles across 49 factories throughout the world. So the best way to show off the range of the VW family is to cram a few thousand journalists and VIPs into a massive makeshift stand to outline the Group's goals, what's in the pipeline and what you'll be able to buy later this year.
To that end, VW pulled out all the stops on the eve of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, bringing along 10 vehicles from across the range. We'll be delving into the details of each over the next two days of show coverage, but before that happens, you can read all about what we saw tonight from the cheap seats after the break.
VW promises 7-seat CUV for America in 2016
Mon, 13 Jan 2014On the eve of the Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen chief executive Martin Winterkorn has confirmed the imminent arrival of a new crossover. The model, previewed at the same show last year by the CrossBlue concept pictured here, will be unique to the North American market when it arrives here in 2016. The new three-row, seven-seat crossover is part of an ambitious expansion plan on the part of Volkswagen and Audi in North America, where the two brands aim to sell a million vehicles by 2018.
That's a mighty big increase over the 600,000 vehicles which the Volkswagen Group sold here last year, but it's moving in the right direction: That number is already a 100-percent increase of what it sold here just five years ago. At that rate, VW should have little trouble meeting its goals, particularly with the arrival of the new crossover and the introduction of Golf production at its assembly plant in Puebla, Mexico. Read the full statement below for more.
2014 Volkswagen XL1 [w/video]
Mon, 11 Mar 2013World's Most Efficient Car Impresses, Not Without Compromises
Among our many duties at the recent Geneva Motor Show, we were offered a pretty exclusive drive in the new Volkswagen XL1 hyper-efficient plug-in diesel hybrid. There is so much that is interesting about a car like this reaching production from a major automaker that it's tough to know where to begin.
First off, you should know that - at least for this generation - there is absolutely no chance in Albuquerque that this "1-liter vehicle" (i.e. a vehicle that can burn just one liter of fuel to travel 100 kilometers, or 62.1 miles) will ever make it into the hands of North American customers. We, too, were having trouble imagining an XL1 in typical American traffic, surrounded by comparatively massive pickups and SUVs. The driving experience had us recalling a couple of weeks in 1999 when we drove the then-revolutionary Honda Insight hybrid on US roads. We keenly remember the feeling of being very small and vulnerable, even as we felt proudly green in our 61-mpg Tochigi pod. Thing is, the Volkswagen is smaller still, and nearly as light despite its more complex drivetrain and safety features.
