1970 Volkswagen Westfalia Campmobile European Export. Please look at the photos carefully before bidding on this vehicle. We have tried to photograph all the problem areas of this bus so that there are no surprises when you buy it. First off this is a project vehicle. I have driven this bus and it starts and moves under its own power. The brakes have had rebuild kits in the cylinders and the system works like it should and there are no leaks. This bus does have some rust as shown in the photos but it is what I would consider minor. This bus was repainted years ago and is not the original color. The original green color can be seen in the door jams and dash area and is in great shape. Under the white respray you can see a few areas that have body filler in them. The decklid has the most body filler but the nose and the slider also have some spots that filler is noticeable. The long wall along the rocker has some rust and evidence of a prior repair. Belly pans are solid as are the outriggers and jacking points. Rear bumper is not original to the bus but is correct. Rear bumper trim is also included but needs bolts replaced and are in fair condition. Bus has Jailbars (original to the bus) in the back window and the camper interior is complete but has been recovered. Tent on the poptop needs to be replaced. Top has a new seal on the poptop portion of the camper top. Windshield is cracked. Tires hold air but I would recommend new tires. There is a new battery in the bus and the motor fires right up. Motor is a used 1600 Dual Port and has a small oil leak. I have no idea how many miles are on the motor but it runs good and has plenty of power. The exhaust that is on the bus is type 1 but there is a type 2 muffler in the bus that is usable. The rear apron is shown in the photos in the back of the bus. Needs a few parts in the engine compartment like part of the original air cleaner and some tin. Gas heater is pictured and is original to the bus. The heater is currently not hooked up and I have not tested it but it appears to be complete. If you have any questions about this bus pleas feel free to email me and I will try and answer them the best I can. I am happy to help with shipping on my end but shipping is to be arranged and paid for by the buyer. I welcome overseas buyers and can be reached at (208)200-6053 anytime day or night. Thanks for checking out our auction and good luck bidding.

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.
2014 Volkswagen XL1 [w/video]
Mon, 11 Mar 2013World's Most Efficient Car Impresses, Not Without Compromises
Among our many duties at the recent Geneva Motor Show, we were offered a pretty exclusive drive in the new Volkswagen XL1 hyper-efficient plug-in diesel hybrid. There is so much that is interesting about a car like this reaching production from a major automaker that it's tough to know where to begin.
First off, you should know that - at least for this generation - there is absolutely no chance in Albuquerque that this "1-liter vehicle" (i.e. a vehicle that can burn just one liter of fuel to travel 100 kilometers, or 62.1 miles) will ever make it into the hands of North American customers. We, too, were having trouble imagining an XL1 in typical American traffic, surrounded by comparatively massive pickups and SUVs. The driving experience had us recalling a couple of weeks in 1999 when we drove the then-revolutionary Honda Insight hybrid on US roads. We keenly remember the feeling of being very small and vulnerable, even as we felt proudly green in our 61-mpg Tochigi pod. Thing is, the Volkswagen is smaller still, and nearly as light despite its more complex drivetrain and safety features.
VW makes $23K on every Porsche sold, more than Bentley or Lamborghini
Fri, 14 Mar 2014It's a good time to be in the luxury car business. In Volkswagen Group's financial report for the 2013 fiscal year, it is revealed that that Porsche enjoyed an operating margin of 18 percent. That means the Stuttgart brand made on average about $23,200 per car sold, according to BusinessWeek. Bentley wasn't far behind, and Audi (which was combined with Lamborghini) posted a 10.1 percent margin. This compares to only around 2.9 percent for the Volkswagen brand.
"Luxury brands are on fire," said Dave Sullivan, an industry analyst at AutoPacific. He said that the average profit margin is between six and eight percent. Brands like Porsche and Bentley have the benefit of competing in rarefied markets. Buyers looking at one their vehicles have fewer models to shop against and don't care as much about price. They can also charge more for options, which further boosts income, according to BusinessWeek.
In a way, we should be more impressed by the continued success from Audi. Its models generally have direct competitors in every segment from the other premium automakers. Plus, their buyers aren't the captains of industry who are shopping for a Bentley. Still, the Four Rings is leading rivals in sales so far this year.
