1976 Volkswagen Westfalia Camper Bus-Nice!


Up for sale is a really nice 1976 VW Westfalia Camper Bus.  It's an ALL original bus will the green plaid interior seats, sleeps 4 comfortably (upper and lower seat/fold down bed), and original AM/FM Radio still in dash!  Automatic Transmission shifts great and brakes recently serviced with new pads/drums.  Original VW green carpet kit throughout the van still intact and kitchen cabinet area with sink.  This VW Bus was brought over from San Diego, California 10 years ago.  I have receipts and records to follow with van throughout its history.  

Exterior:
The bus is in great shape. It was repainted by the previous owner to match factory original green and it looks stunning!  There are small imperfections, dents and scratches but nothing significant or easily noticeable. This bus is almost 40 years old and in amazing condition for the age. It has been stored inside since I've had it.  All the glass is original (couple nicks on windshield) and the doors open and close with ease. 

Interior:
The ALL ORIGINAL INTERIOR is in good used condition.  The front seat edges is showing some wear.  A few nicks here and there on the furniture.  Also it appears the sink faucet head was replaced with newer one.  Original green curtain set 360 degrees.  Slide in table also included with sale.  

The Engine:
The engine is the pancake VW 4 Cylinder 2.0 Liter, replaced by the previous owner 6 years ago.  It runs strong and the transmission shifts smoothly.  Converted to carb last year and I like it!  

The Good:
This classic VW Bus is in great shape and could be easily taken to VW Shows/Events or left as a daily driver or used for camping trip. It doesn't have any significant rust which is remarkable for it age.  It drives and shifts better that any other bus I've ever driven. They all seem to be a little finicky but this one it really straight forward and relatively easy to drive. The light and turn signals works as they should.  All tires and original rims in good condition and currently don't need any attention.  VW hubcaps and all chrome handles are shiny and looks really sharp!  

Things to do in near future:
This is a 37 year old vehicle so not everything look brand new. There are small imperfection in the interior and exterior. The gas gauge flickers at times but I was told this is an easy fix.  The canvas should be replaced since its original so I'm including a BRAND NEW Canvas and Gasket for the new owner ($550 value).  I purchased from Bus Depot two weeks ago. I took the rear white bumper off to sand and repaint but liked it actually without since its so clean in the back.  This bus does have minor room for improvement but is in amazing condition given the age.

This is a no reserve auction and the winning bidder drives away with an amazing all original VW Camper Bus with years of enjoyment ahead.  If you have any ?'s, feel free to email me and I will respond asap!  Also, I encourage inspections so I'll be available for showings in sunny Wilmington, NC.  

NOTE: NO INTERNATIONAL BIDDING.  US FUNDS ACCEPTED-CASH, CERTIFIED BANK CHECK, OR WIRE.  As soon as payment is received and cleared, title will be shipped to new owner.

Volkswagen Golf R Evo may debut at Beijing Motor Show

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

If a report in Auto Express is correct, a lighter, faster brother to the Volkswagen Golf R will be shown to the world at the Beijing Motor Show in April. Said to be called the Golf R Evo, the even harder hot hatch would be unveiled as one of those concepts that's practically a de facto presentation of the genuine thing. The Evo in its name will come from having a carbon fiber roof and CF in the bodywork, lighter wheels, thinner bucket seats up front and a roll cage instead of rear seats.
If there's a power increase, it's been described as "a small bump." However, as the report mentions, if the Jenny Craig regimen can drop 100 kilograms (220 pounds) from the the 3,247-pound weight of the European Golf R, then the Golf R Evo will do about the same damage on the scales as the Golf but have at least 50 more horsepower and 44 more pound-feet of torque.
Since we still don't have the current Golf, this isn't something that should keep you awake even if the 'concept' does become a production model. But it is good to know that the Golf R is really going to start pushing its boundaries.

Skoda racing Up! to Worthersee with Citigo Rally concept

Thu, 17 May 2012

If you thought the Volkswagen Group was about to wind down the endless stream of concept cars based on the new Up! city car, think again. Because not only is the Volkswagen brand itself keeping the train a-moving, so are its sister brands.
Skoda has its own version of the Up called the Citigo. But what racing fans know the Czech subsidiary for best is its rally program that has become a dominant force in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge and the basis for VW's own foray into the World Rally Championship. Now Skoda is bringing the two together with an exciting concept car previewed by the rendering above and confirmed in the press release below.
Following in the footsteps of the tantalizing Fabia roadster unveiled last year, the Citigo Rally concept is to be the centerpiece of the Skoda display at the Volkswagen Group's annual hot-hatch gathering at Lake Wörthersee in Austria. Details are scarce, but the show car will feature rally-inspired bodywork complete with 18-inch white alloys packed into aggressively flared wheel arches, a substantial rear wing and vents aplenty.
