1974 Volkswagen Westfalia Camper Van Vw Poptop 2.0 Liter Automatic Runs & Drives on 2040-cars
Idaho Falls, Idaho, United States
|
Up for auction today we have a 1974 Volkswagen Westfalia Campmobile. This bus had the engine rebuilt 5 or 6 years ago and was then parked due to leaky heat exchangers. The engine is very clean and looks to be fairly fresh. When the engine was rebuilt it was upgraded to a 2.0 Liter. We recently had all the fuel lines replaced and the carbs rebuilt. The bus starts right up and runs good once its warm. The battery has also been replaced within the last 30 days. The brakes work well but have not been gone through by us. The front has disc brakes and the rears are drums. The interior on this bus is in very respectable condition. We sent it to a professional detail shop right after we got it and it cleaned up very nice. The upper bunk area pads are missing but the rest of the interior is there. The canvas top has some holes in it as shown in the photos where mice chewed through the top. The curtain rods and curtains are there but are not shown in the photos. The curtains are in OK shape but have some holes and water stains. The gas gauge is not currently working. The front rubber floor mat is also missing. The bus has the matching footstool and childs cot that mounts over the front seats. This is a running driving project that still needs some work to be nice. There is a fair amount of rust in the outer rocker panels but the floors and structure of the frame are solid. Take a good look at the photos as we have tried to photograph the good, the bad and the ugly. Should be no surprises on this one. The heat exchangers on this bus seem to be leaking. We attempted to hook up the heater but there was a lot of exhaust coming in with the heat. There is also a lot of smoke that seems to be coming up through the air inlet when the bus is stopped. I believe this smoke is coming from the leaks in the heat exchangers. We haven't tested any of the camper accessories. Bid with confidence and bid to win. We are happy to help on our end with International buyers but shipping costs and arrangement are the responsibility of the buyer. We realize it may take a couple weeks to arrange your shipping and can store the bus inside our warehouse until you get your shipping worked out. Thanks for checking out our auction and good luck bidding. Check below for a youtube video tour of the bus. Please feel free to call with any questions you have about the bus. Jeremy.

Witness this insane 736-hp VW Golf immolate its front tires
Mon, 11 Mar 2013There's torque steer and then there's what we'll from now on dub "The Boba," as in Boba Kettler. The German tuner has a way with the Volkswagen Golf, and the MkI example you see above has been touched with 736 horsepower - that's right, 96 more ponies than a new SRT Viper, all trying to get to ground through those two front wheels.
The 2.0-liter, 16-valve engine has an 8,800 rpm redline and is aided by a Garrett GTX3582R turbocharger shoving 50 psi through the internals. Other upgrades include a new ECU (natch) and a six-speed 'box among other treats. The rubber is Toyo R888s - street-legal competition tires. The result is enough smoke for three Chinese New Years when the lights go green. Indeed, the standing start isn't its forte, but it can apparently get from 62 miles per hour to 124 mph in five seconds.
Watch it go in the video below. And know that this isn't even Boba's best work; he's got a 900-hp MkII Golf that'll do 0-62 mph in 2.3 seconds.
Volkswagen reveals Beetle GSR, R-Line convertible and two special GTIs
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Volkswagen has chosen to really expand its performance-tuned portfolio at this year's Chicago Auto Show, bringing along a couple of new Beetles destined for model year 2014, as well as a pair of freshened GTI packages that you'll be able to buy almost right away.
The first, and splashiest of the Chicago goodies on the VW stand has got to be the 2014 Volkswagen Beetle GSR. Don't lose your temper, Acura Integra geeks; in this case, GSR stands for "Gelb Schwarzer Renner" or "Yellow Black Racer," and harkens back to a sport-tuned classic Beetle from the 1970s. For the 2014 iteration, the GSR gets a 210-horsepower version of VW's 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder. That engine is enough to push the Beetle to 60 miles per hour in 6.6 seconds, and up to a top speed of 130 mph.
Of course, you'll have long-since noticed the shockingly yellow-and-black livery before you stumble across the Turbo badge on the rear deck. The GSR gets 19-inch alloy wheels, 235-section tires and a tea-tray rear spoiler, but it's the paint and graphics package that will decide if this is your (lemony) cup of tea. Things don't get any subtler inside the car, either, as VW has carried the colorway through to the interior, as well. Only 3,500 Beetle GSRs will be produced, with just more than half of those going to the US - call your dealer today, Wiz Khalifa.
2013 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo Convertible
Wed, 10 Apr 2013Less Flower, More Power
Pardon our political incorrectness for a moment, but the Volkswagen New Beetle was, undeniably, a "chick car." There was almost nothing that the New Beetle offered to enthusiasts (of either gender), and by the end of its run, VW had even stripped all of the exciting engines from the car's lineup. Looking to resurrect some of the excitement behind the Beetle, the third generation of the iconic car ditched the cuteness when the coupe debuted for 2012, and now the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible aims to show how much fun drivers can have without a top.
Celebrating almost six and a half decades of the Beetle convertible, Volkswagen is offering a trio of distinct special editions that celebrate three of the car's most popular decades (the '50s, '60s and '70s), but as one of the unofficial cars of the 1960s, it would almost be a crime not to test this version, right? Besides, this is also the only special edition to get the turbocharged engine. While our first drive of the 2013 Beetle Convertible was in the fuel-miser TDI variation, our two-week romp in the 2013 Beetle Convertible '60s Edition came just as peak convertible weather was kicking off down in Florida.
