1972 Volkswagen Westphalia "Camp Mobile"
This is a one owner vehicle my father bought the vehicle back in 1972 in Lasalle, Quebec from LaSalle Volkswagen. After my parents moved to the States they later divorced and my father moved to San Diego California where he resided until his passing 2 years ago. I personally drove the 6 day drive back to Michigan with no problems at all. All items are original on the bus as my dad had it back when he owned it. Ive done nothing to it other than an oil change. The bus starts right up on the first crank. I would rate the paint on the car a 7 there are chips from driving and my father would put touch a paint on the chips. as for bondo there is "None" My dad babied his hippy bus and as explained it is still original paint. No bubbling blisters and no waves on the body. I'm sure some of you folks are going to ask what would need to be done.. Personally if you are looking to go camping and having fun with the family than nothing. For those of you who want a concourse vehicle i would repaint it, put a new canvas top on it and new rubber mat on the driver side that goes to the passenger side. As for the engine there are no leaks coming from underneath. and the transmission shifts great and smooth with amazing pick up from being 42 years old. I also forgot to mention there is a gas heater in back i would recommend to get it rebuilt something about gas and heat and me in the car scared the pants out of me but the heater is there intact. I also forgot to mention there was a dent on the passenger side from my wife backing out the car from the garage. Its nothing major but i have to be honest. Also the tires are new and new being 3 years old but no dry rot of that nature.If im forgetting anything I apologize just shoot me a question and I will answer it the best I can. I also can help in any way when it comes to shipping the vehicle. Thank you for looking and happy bidding |

US-spec 2015 Volkswagen Golf and GTI to finally debut in New York
Tue, 12 Mar 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf is hardly new to us. In fact, we've already driven it. And elsewhere in the world, the new Golf is already winning awards. Even so, we still have yet to see the US-spec version of the car, though that won't be the case much longer. As part of the New York Auto Show festivities later this month, Volkswagen will finally show off the 2015 Golf models destined for our shores.
Three different versions of the Golf will debut under the lights of New York City's Javits Center: the turbocharged TSI, oil-sipping TDI and hotter GTI. The first model in that list uses Volkswagen's new 1.8-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, replacing the outgoing 2.5-liter naturally aspirated inline five-cylinder. The latter two models use familiar engines: the 2.0-liter TDI diesel and 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, respectively.
Even though the new Golf officially debuts later this month, it won't go on sale in the US until the first quarter of 2014. We'll be waiting patiently.
Porsche board members facing another ˆ1.8B lawsuit over VW takeover bid
Mon, 03 Feb 2014Back in 2008, Porsche got the bright idea that it could take over Volkswagen in the midst of the worst economic slump since the Great Depression. Ignoring that this was a catastrophic move for the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer that that eventually resulted in it nearly going bankrupt and eventually being taken over by the same company it sought to control, the aftermath has left Porsche Chairman Wolfgang Porsche and board member Ferdinand Piëch in the crosshairs of seven hedge funds that lost out during the takeover and are now seeking €1.8 billion - $2.43 billion US - in damages from the two execs, according to the BBC.
See, investors bet on Volkswagen's share price going down, partially because Porsche said it wasn't going to attempt a takeover. But Porsche was attempting to take over VW, having bought up nearly 75-percent of VW's publicly traded shares. When word broke that Porsche owned nearly three-quarters of VW (which indicated an imminent takeover attempt), rather than go down like the hedge funds bet it would, VW's share price skyrocketed to over 1,000 euros per share, according to Reuters.
Naturally, when you bet that a company's share price is going to drop and it in turn (temporarily) becomes the world's most valuable company, you lose a lot of money, unless you're able to buy up shares before prices jump too much. This led to a squeeze on the stock, which the hedge funds accuse Porsche and Piëch (who are both members of the Porsche family and supervisory board) of organizing.
Volkswagen lays off 500 Chattanooga workers
Fri, 19 Apr 2013The redesigned Volkswagen Passat has been a decent seller since its debut in 2011, but sales have apparently dropped off enough that the automaker is trimming some of the employees from its Chattanooga, TN assembly plant. According to Automotive News, Volkswagen will be cutting shifts and laying off 500 contracted workers in response to slowing sales.
Currently, the plant has three teams running 10-hour shifts Monday through Saturday, but starting May 13, this will be reduced down to two teams running 10-hour shifts Monday through Thursday. This will be done to reduce dealer inventory (the article says that VW dealers, on average, have a 97-day supply of Passats) and production capacity (currently running at an annual pace of 170,000 units, which is more than the 150,000 annual units the plant was planned to produce).
This, of course, isn't saying that the Passat has been a failure since VW added 200 full-time employees to the plant in February 2012 to keep up with increased demand. The AN article says that automakers frequently overstaff plants during the launch of a new product - or in this case, a new product and a new plant - but eventually reduce the workers as things run smoother and more efficiently.
