Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States
|
This Campmobile was originally bought in the bay area. It was purchased
in 1975 by the current owner and brought to New Mexico. The
tourist car invoice showing the chassis # and options is included with
paperwork, it states:
Chassis- 23 42149961 Campmobile US Spec Deluxe camp equip w/elevating roof Vent windows in drivers compartment VW Air Conditioner Yosemite Yellow Green Blue Cloth Upholstery A short history from current owner: "This Pop Top was bought in California and driven coast to coast to and across Canada. The first year of ownership, they camped out 90 nights and four people can sleep comfortably. It has propane cooking and a fridge. We had a new engine installed in Anchorage, a larger 1.8L. We also removed a/c compressor and the dual carbs." The engine is a 1.8L with hydraulic lifter and a "009" distributor. Other features: Removable dinette table, rear bench seat/folding bed, sink, ice box, cooking top, air conditioning (compressor removed), propane tank, sink. Full size spare mounted in front. It is in good shape and has normal wear and tear from 30+ years of camping. The top canvas has some small tears and should be replaced at some point. The rear seat was reupholstered, but all the other original fabric is in place. The floor was also tiled in the back area. It was repainted here in Albuquerque and does has some minor rust in the drivers side rear wheel well and some cracking in the paint. It runs well, just had a recent timing and carb adjustment, new intake manifold gaskets and boots, tune-up and valve adjustment. The tires are dry rotted and need to be replaced soon. I have post on YouTube a short video and more pictures of the car running you can see it @ http://youtu.be/iLdLoDgOejQ |

VW Beetle R is one mean bug
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Volkswagen's R lineup currently consists of the Golf R in North America, and the too-cool-for-school Scirocco R in Europe. It hasn't exactly been a secret as to which VW would next get the R treatment; the German manufacturer reportedly confirmed that a hotter Beetle would be coming to the US. That announcement, in August 2011, was followed up by a production-ready Beetle R Concept at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.
After some wait, we're finally seeing spy shots of the Beetle R in Germany. The mule shown in the images here is wearing the R-Line bodykit, which adds sportier front and rear fascias, side skirts, dual exhausts and a not-so-subtle spoiler. Topped off with Volkswagen's traditional, five-spoke R wheels, we'd be just fine with the Beetle R coming to market as is.
Our spy photographer, though, seems to think that the production R will get even sportier sheetmetal, which we take to mean the more assertive look shown on the Frankfurt show car. Larger intakes on the front fascia, a bigger rear spoiler and vertical vents on the rear bumper could all be upcoming. Whether a production model will include the concept's polished wheels (R cars haven't traditionally embraced that look), vented hood and the quad-tipped exhausts remains to be seen.
Bentley considering diesel engine for new SUV
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Turns out, in case you didn't know, the rich are just like regular people. They too are concerned about the environment, even when tooling around town in their super-luxurious Bentleys. So the automaker is weighing the idea of offering a diesel engine in its SUV offering, which could help satisfy customers' demands for more fuel-efficient engines.
Chairman and CEO Wolfgang Schreiber told Autoblog in a roundtable interview at the Geneva Auto Show that the automaker is researching whether or not a diesel engine makes sense for the brand. Bentley, owned by the Volkswagen Group, could in theory use a diesel engine from anywhere in the Volkswagen Group family. We at Autoblog have hopes they'll revive the V10 TDI used in the VW Touareg until 2010, but ever-stricter emissions laws would likely make that problematic.
But rich people aren't so much like us that they'll be worried about petty things like pricing. Schreiber admitted the diesel engine could be a $15,000 option, which he said customers would probably find "acceptable." Given that the cheapest Bentley today starts at $177,000, typical customers probably won't be diddling around worrying about an extra 15 grand.
Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe Concept is an aspirational Jetta
Mon, 21 Apr 2014Meet the Volkswagen baby CC. Okay, that's not really it's name (VW calls it the New Midsize Coupe Concept), but this sleek, four-door coupe draws more than a little inspiration from the CC while riding on VW's MQB platform.
It's a looker, we think, and is an eye-pleasing departure from the bland styling of the current Jetta. The sleeker front end is complemented by a wider body overall (it's wider than a Passat), while the more sporting roofline and the sharp rear fascia gives the New Midsize Coupe a decidedly sporting character. LED head- and taillights add a bit more personality to this already stylish design.
Thanks to its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, it should get along rather sportingly, as well. The run to 62 miles per hour takes just 6.5 seconds thanks to the 217 horsepower on offer. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is also fitted, and contributes to an estimated 37 miles per gallon.
