1970 Volkswagen Westfalia! Low Reserve!
Bus is in great condition and ready for camping. Since I have owned the bus, I have done the following:
New exterior paint, (original Pearl White color)
New pop top canvas by Go Westy
New front seat covers by TMI
New 215/70/14 tires with a mildly aggressive tread for off road driving
New wheel cylinders on all four wheels, new shoes, and resurfaced drums
New rubber on both front doors, rear hatch, and engine lid
New rear window, new window rubber on rear window and front windshield. (front windshield does have a small star in the lower passenger side, which has been professionally sealed)
New front, rear, and side lenses, headlight rings, hub caps
New laminate floor in camper area. Front and rear floors are excellent.
Misc. new odd and ends, seals, and parts.
Motor is a 1600 single port, that runs very strong. Just had it tuned and a compression test showed 145, 140, 140, 140 at each of the four cylinders! You can drive this bus anywhere!
Original blue plates still on the bus. it is currently registered till 2014 and I have clear pink slip in hand.
Bus has original Westfalia z-bed and jump seat, however, they have been recovered in black vinyl (before I owned it). I also has the original ice box and sink, which works. it is missing the wardrobe closet and headbanger cabinet.
Bus has an Alpine CD player with detachable face plate. Nothing special, but at least it is something to listen to on the long road trips.
Bus has both the upper fold out cot and the front childs cot for over the front seats. Both have been recovered in a blue denim (before I owned the bus). They are in great shape and very sturdy.
Bus has aftermarket curtains (installed before I owned the bus). They function well, but have faded from sun exposure. I also have a rear bug screen that allows you to keep the rear hatch open for ventilation.
If you want a great looking bus and to have a lot of fun and adventures, this is the bus for you. Thanks for looking.
Buyer is responsible for shipping and a $500 deposit is due within 24 hours of winning the bus.

VW makes $9.2B offer for rest of truckmaker Scania
Sun, 23 Feb 2014Volkswagen owns or has controlling interests in three commercial truck operations: besides its own, VW began buying shares in Sweden's Scania in 2000 and now controls 89.2 percent of its shares and 62.6 percent of its capital, then bought into Germany's Man in 2006 - in order to prevent Man from trying to take over Scania - and now owns 75 percent of it. The car company has managed to work out 200 million euros in savings, but believes it can unlock a total of 650 million euros in savings if it takes outright control of Scania and can spread more common parts among the three divisions.
It has proposed a 6.7-billion-euro ($9.2 billion) buyout, but according to a Bloomberg report, Scania's minority investors don't appear inclined to the deal. Although effectively controlled by VW, Scania is an independently-listed Swedish company, and a profitable one at that: in the January-September 2013 period its operating profit was 9.4 percent compared to Man's 0.4 percent. Some of the other shareholders believe that Scania is better off on its own and will not approve the deal, some have asked an auditor to look into the potential conflict of interest between VW and Man, while some are willing to examine the deal and "make an evaluation based on what a long-term owner finds is good," which might not be just "the stock market price plus a few percent." The buyout will only be official assuming VW can reach the 90-percent share threshold that Swedish law mandates for a squeeze-out.
Many of the arguments against boil down to investors believing that Scania's Swedishness and unique offerings are what keep it profitable, and ownership by the German car company will kill that. (Have we heard that somewhere before?) If Volkswagen can buy that additional 0.8-percent share in Scania, perhaps its buyout wrangling with Man will give it an idea of what it's in for: "dozens" of minority investors in the German truckmaker have filed cases against VW, seeking higher prices for their shares. It is likely only to delay the inevitable, though. If VW is really going to compete with Daimler and Volvo in the truck market, it has to get the size, clout and savings to do so.
Europeans get first crack at new Golf Variant wagon
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Just last week, when we brought you news of a new Volkswagen Golf variant out and testing in Europe, we had no idea we were being so literal with out description. For it seems that VW has every intention of calling its new Golf wagon, making its Geneva debut, the "Golf Variant."
Odd/interesting sobriquets taken as read then, there's a lot to like about this new small wagon from VW. The Variant will shed some 232 pounds in this generation, and will come to market with two efficient TDI engines. Volkswagen isn't giving us displacement figures for either yet, but we're told the diesels will come with outputs of 110 and 150 horsepower. The 110-hp TDI BlueMotion Varient will be good for a whopping 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle, when mated to the six-speed manual transmission.
The German automaker has brought along an all-wheel-drive 4Motion version of the Gold Variant to bow in Geneva, as well, and a natural gas-burning TGI BlueMotion is said to be "in the pipeline."
IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
