1971 Volkswagen Bus/vanagon Camper, Weekender, Grey/white on 2040-cars
Newbern, Tennessee, United States
|
This is a 1971 Volks. Weekender (metal top = no leaks!). I purchased the Bus in 1997 in Florida. Body is very sound, with minimal rust for its age. One bad spot in floor, drivers side(installed a metal plate when I first bought it, had no problems). The odometer has 23,926 miles, I would assume thats 123, but have no idea as I am not original owner. Rebuilt original engine has 40,000 miles and has been in garage for the past 5 years (not driven). Ignition switch went bad when I parked it, have new switch hooked up but not mouted. Motor runs great, has minor modifications: 2 barrel weber carb, step cam to keep up with interstate traffic! Brakes are good, and lights, including interior and dash work. Rear tires are like new, front are worn on inside(front end may need attention, but I couldnt tell from driving it). All interior (including camping equip) is original Westy equip. Interior needs minor TLC as you can see by the pics, cat damage to rear bench seat in corner. Great daily driver, and with a little attention would be a eye-catching weedender!
Also have lots of extra engine parts and some extra camp gear pieces, such as ice box pieces and also have the canvas cot that goes across the front seats(mounts are in place). Purchaser responsible for pick up, Bus is located in Newbern, TN, any questions please email at seratt@cableone.net or call (731) 445-3573 Thanks for looking, Jason |

Volkswagen E-Co-Motion Concept brings electric mobility to the commercial set
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Volkswagen sees a future where the bulk of the world's freight is moved into city centers by train, then offloaded onto a fleet of smaller, light-duty commercial vehicles for final delivery. Those vehicles could wind up looking something like the company's E-Co-Motion Concept that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The EV features a modular underfloor drive unit comprised of a battery, motor and gearbox that can be paired with any number of cab and body configurations to suit a buyer's needs, from a refrigerated box to a standard flat bed.
The E-Co-Motion Concept features a rear-mounted electric motor with 113 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. A standard 20 kWh battery pack provides a driving range of up to 62 miles, while 30 kWh and 40 kWh packs could deliver 93 and 124 miles of travel, respectively. Check out the press release below for more information.
Volkswagen's De Silva says next Scirocco will be 'completely different'
Tue, 02 Apr 2013From our perspective, the reborn Volkswagen Scirocco is a handsome (if squat) little thing. Yet design-wise, it's always struck us as uncomfortably close to the Golf three-door hatchback with which it shares its basic underpinnings. That aesthetic kinship may be part of the reason why Volkswagen has steadfastly refused to import the Scirocco to North America, seeing as how the Golf doesn't regularly set the company's sales charts alight, and it's less expensive.
But that visual similarity might be about to change, says Walter De Silva, who recently told Australia's Car Advice that, "It must be completely different... we don't want to repeat the bodystyle of the Scirocco, we want to change that." Further, the Volkswagen Group's design boss says that the next-generation car isn't terribly far along in development yet - "at the moment, it's only a studio [project]... it's not defined." It's probably just as well, as the new seventh-generation Golf arguably borrows some of its design from the current Scirocco anyway.
So we should expect a much bolder, more differentiated design, right? Well, yes, no and maybe. Back in September, De Silva himself was quoted as saying that the era of flamboyant styling has passed, and that future VW designs will be simpler to better reflect the times and preserve resale value. So... how different could it be?
Last VW bus ever made arrives at final destination
Fri, 31 Jan 2014A Brazilian politician tried to save it, unsuccessfully, so the final Last Edition Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi was produced on December 20, 2013 and now resides in a vintage museum at Volkswagen's Commercial Vehicles HQ in Hanover, Germany.
The Volkswagen Microbus was built for 56 years, starting in September 1957. Brazil was the last country still assembling it, but new safety regulations in the country requiring airbags and ABS on all cars spelled the end. When that politician introduced a bill that would pardon only the 'Bus from a death sentence, it couldn't garner the required number of votes for passage. The South American country takes the Kombi production title, though, with 1.5 million of the 3.5 million total made in the home of Copacabana beach and the girl from Ipanema.
The VW Bus is dead. Now perhaps we can turn our attentions to the still-not-totally-settled matter of the Bulli...
