The ultimate sports and leisure vehicle, this classic 'ol Pop-Top Westy is ready when you are. I know that she's not that snazzy, and I know that the interior is a little worn, but that's what gives this van its unique character. You can drive this anywhere and not have to worry about a little sand on the floor, or getting a door ding at the local Cantina. Just drive it and have fun with your friends and family.The best thing about this cool bus is how well it runs and drives. I will highlight some of its great mechanical features:
- Rebuilt 1600 dual-port engine which just had a major tune-up and oil change. I was told that the engine was rebuilt at some point but do not have the paperwork. It does have 115 to 120 pounds compression and runs like a top.
- 4-speed manual transaxle shifts smooth and doesn't whine or pop-out of any gears.
- Great brakes with good pedal,stops straight with no grinding or pulling.
- Tight front-end doesn't wander or clunk. The ball joints were replaced recently so it drives straight down the road.
- Nice factory wheels and chrome VW hubcaps, with like new heavy duty tires.
- The 12 volt electrical system works well; head-lights, tail-lights, blinkers, horn, wipers, brake lights and new battery.
- Windshield has small crack in corner and doesn't affect your vision. It does have new wiper blades to give you that clear view of life.
- CD Player with four speaker comes with Grateful Dead live CD
- Great collection of sweet stickers from places this bus has wandered...
This is is a relatively rust free van,with a great mint green finish, what you see is what you get. The front floors are a little rusty but could be easily repaired. The under carriage is rust free and in excellent condition. The body does have some scrapes and bruises with body work in the left rear quarter. It's not perfect, but has tons of potential.
Folks, I'm selling this van in its unrestored state so that it can be purchased at a reasonable price and enjoyed immediately. The lucky buyer can drive it just the way it is for along time, or restore it in their own good time, to their own personal taste and budget. If you have any questions feel free to ask or if you're local and serious feel free to set-up a personal viewing. I am open to offers on my Buy It Now price, but will only negotiate over the phone or in person and will only do so through my E-Bay listing. You're welcome to call a me anytime with questions or concerns @ 720-270-5637. Also, feel free to to learn more about my world by clicking on the "ME" link next to my feedback..Thanks for checking out my auction and good luck bidding. Peace, Love, and Old VW Buses....

VW says it has sold over 100,000 TDI diesels in America this year
Thu, 26 Dec 2013Volkswagen Group of America has lit oil-burning fireworks to celebrate the sales of more than 100,000 TDI Clean Diesel vehicles in the US between its VW and Audi brands this year. According to VW, that means it is responsible for more than 75 percent of diesel-engined cars and SUVs sold here - perhaps not surprising when the two brands offer a total of 12 diesel models.
What might be surprising is that the number of diesels isn't far off the estimated sales of 90,000 battery electric vehicles and PHEVs, with 15,000 of those accounted for by the Tesla Model S, another 12,000 or so being the Toyota Prius PHEV.
VW's keen to play up the ease of making diesel part of your life, stressing that it doesn't need any change to the refueling infrastructure and that "this is a technology delivering real answers to society's concerns about fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions without compromises."
GM outsold VW globaly in first quarter, Toyota reports numbers next week
Thu, 18 Apr 2013General Motors released its first quarter sales figures this week, reporting that it sold 2.36 million cars and trucks worldwide. That figure represents an increase of 3.6 percent when compared to the same period last year. GM's growth was attributed to many factors, including global Cadillac sales that were up 26 percent and Chevrolet posting a one percent increase over last year (this marked Chevy's tenth straight year of record global sales).
Volkswagen came in just behind GM, as the German automaker reported global sales from January through March at 2.27 million vehicles, an increase of five percent when compared to last year. While that number was strong, VW is cautioning that markets outside China and the US, such as those in Europe, are becoming a challenge as economies falter.
Yet to report sales is Toyota, current holder of the global world sales crown (the Japanese company sold 9.75 million cars last year, against 9.29 million sold by GM and 9.1 million vehicles sold by VW). Even though GM and Toyota both say they don't care who sells the most units, it is unquestionably a strong bragging point and sales equate to revenue. That said, Toyota will report its first quarter numbers next week.
Volkswagen Golf R wagon promises to be fast and functional [w/poll]
Tue, 25 Mar 2014Volkswagen's array of performance-oriented Golfs keeps getting bigger and bigger. What started with the GTI has since grown to include the diesel GTD, the hybrid GTE and the most powerful Golf R. But the additions haven't all come down to powertain. There's been cabrio versions of the GTI and Golf R as well, but before all is said and done, there will be one more bodystyle to join the lineup.
That, according to these latest spy shots, would be the Golf R Variant. For those unfamiliar, Variant is what Volkswagen calls the wagon version of the Golf (in some markets, anyway). It offers the Golf Variant with a variety of engines, but as the spy shots reveal, it is now working on bringing the Golf Variant and the Golf R together into one high-powered, long-roofed model.
The VW Golf R Variant would in all likelihood pack the same 2.0-liter turbo four as the hatchback, splitting 290 horsepower between all four wheels. Only in the wagon, it would offer that extra bit of utility. Of course there's no guarantee that Volkswagen would offer the Golf R Variant in the North American market, but considering that the Golf R hatchback will soon be joined in American showrooms by the Golf SpotWagen (as it's tipped to be called here) in place for the Jetta wagon, the possibility is definitely there.
