UP FOR SALE IS A 1973 VOLKSWAGON WESTFALIA CAMPMOBILE. IT IS VERY COMPLETE AND ORIGINAL. IT HAS 133447 MILES, REPORTED TO HAVE APPROX. 10K ON A REBUILD. FROM WHAT I HAVE FOUND, IT CAME WITH A TWO CARB SYSTEM, IT NOW HAS A SINGLE 2 BBL WEBER. THE BUS HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A FEW YEARS AND IS NOT A DRIVER AS IT IS. I PUT PLUGS AND POINTS IN IT AND IT FIRED RIGHT UP WITH A PRIME. THE ENGINE SOUNDS VERY GOOD, BUT I WOULD NOT TRUST THE GAS IN THE TANK, SO THE FUEL LINE IS DISCONNECTED. I AM SURE IT WILL NEED THE REST OF A FULL TUNE-UP TO BE DONE, AND THE CARB REBUILT. IT HAS SOME RUST, BUT MINOR IN NATURE, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICS. THE DRIVERS SIDE ROCKER HAS BEEN PATCHED. THE UNDERCARRIAGE IS VERY CLEAN AS YOU CAN SEE. THE TIRES ARE NEAR NEW WITH NO DRY ROT. IT HAS THE ORIGINAL CURTAINS, CUSIONS, BUG SCREEN FOR THE REAR OPENING, CHILDS COT FOR THE FRONT, JUMP SEAT, AND REFRIDGERATOR WITH FOOD PREP SHELF AND SINK WITH HAND PUMP, SWING UP TABLE. THE ORIGINAL BIRCH HEADLINER IS STILL EXCELLENT. AT SOME POINT, THE FLOOR GOT WET AND THE SUB FLOOR ROTTED, SO IT AND THE VINYL WERE REMOVED. THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAS CUT A PIECE OF BIRCH PLYWOOD TO REPLACE IT. THIS BUS SAT UNDER A TREE AND IT SHOWS THE GRIME THAT COMES FROM THAT. I LIGHTLY CLEANED ONE AREA ON BOTH THE FRONT LEFT, AND THE POP TOP. YOU CAN SEE THAT IT WILL CLEAN UP NICELY. THE WINDSHIELD HAS A SMALL DING IN THE LOWER LEFT PART. IT WILL NEED A NEW CANVAS FOR THE TOP, WHICH WORKS FINE. I HAVE A FILE WITH ALL THE SERVICE RECORDS, THE ORIGINAL OWNERS MANUAL, AND NUMEROUS SPARES THAT HAVE BEEN COLLECTED OVER THE YEARS. AND LAST, BUT NOT LEAST BY ANY MEANS, THE GREATFUL DEAD STICKER ON THE " KITCHEN " MODULE. THE RESERVE IS LOW, AS IS THE BIN. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THIS AUCTION EARLY, AS THE BUS IS FOR SALE LOCALLY. FEEL FREE TO CALL WITH QUESTIONS 860-480-3378.

Volkswagen says goodbye to Eos, Routan in 2015 updates
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Usually automakers announce changes to their lineup individually on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis, but sometimes it all comes at once - especially when the changes are ones we either expected or might not otherwise notice. That's the path Volkswagen has gone with changes to its US lineup for 2015.
The biggest change is what we already knew: that the new Golf arrives for the 2015 model year, bringing with it the new GTI, Golf R, e-Golf and Golf SportWagen (to replace the previous Jetta wagon). But there are some new details as well.
For starters, Volkswagen has finally confirmed that both the Eos and the Routan - both long rumored to be on their way out - will be exiting this year. The Eos hardtop convertible, pictured above, will linger for one last year, its Sport trim replaced by a new Final Edition with 18-inch wheels, two-tone leather interior and enhanced equipment.
VW recalls 1.1M Jetta, Beetle models in US, China over suspension fears
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Volkswagen is recalling about 1.1 million vehicles in China and North America in a newly announced campaign affecting the rear suspensions on some models. For the US, the action covers about 442,265 vehicles, including 400,602 examples of its 2011-2013 Jetta and 41,663 units of the 2012-2013 Beetle and Beetle Convertible. According to Reuters, the recall affects a further 126,000 vehicles in Canada and about 581,090 in China, including related market-specific models like the Sagitar.
The problem can occur if the affected models have a collision to the rear or the side-rear of the vehicle. It's then possible for the trailing arms on the torsion-beam rear suspension to be damaged. If the harm isn't noticed, then the part could fracture while driving. Obviously, a broken rear suspension is going to have an adverse effect on handling.
To fix things, VW dealers will inspect the trailing arms on the models, and they will all receive a sheetmetal part that will make a distinctive sound if broken in the future. If already damaged, the entire torsion beam will be replaced. Obviously, this work will be done at no charge to owners.
VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad
Mon, 28 Jan 2013
Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.
