1971 Vw Bus ~ T2 Westfalia Type Ii ~ Riviera Top ~ Awesome Camper Van! on 2040-cars
Inverness, Florida, United States
|
My son bought this bus 3 years ago when he hoped to travel the country. Now he has decided that med school is the goal instead and needs money. He has loved this bus and it has been a very dependable, fun ride. Driving it the past few years really replaced his shyness with confidence since people talk to him everywhere he goes. Everyone has a VW story it seems!
We have the original VW service record showing its birth in Sept. 1970, travels through France, Italy, Spain, etc. and its arrival in the US. It will also come with a binder of maintenance receipts and the VW official service manual. We will be happy to give you our mechanic's info to discuss the bus before you buy and of course, you are welcome to come test drive it. We may even be able to meet you if we're a little too far for you or at an airport. We have done a lot to the inside and mechanics of the bus, but my son loved the outside so we did not do much to it. If you wanted a good paint job, it does have some rust around the windows and wheel wells and you would want to replace the window seals if not at least one window. The camper is in good shape, but there are a few holes in the tent screens. What has been done on the inside: Everything was removed. There was a rust spot on the floor behind the front seats so a new metal panel was welded in. Then the entire inside had a rust coating and paint. "Fat mat" insulation was installed over that for noise and heat reduction. New flooring, carpet, side panels, headliner, and curtains were added and the seats were recovered. The spare tire was added to the front of the bus for added room inside. New rubber seals were put on the 2 front doors, sliding door, back hatch, engine compartment, and camper top. The support bars for the front seat hammock are included, but there is no hammock. Mechanically: When we first got it, we found an awesome guy at Kenny's VW Repair in Hudson, FL. It ran well at the time, but I asked him to do everything it needed to keep it safe and dependable for my son. He was awesome and he has continued to do oil changes, tune ups, and anything it needed along the way. We got 5 new tires that he recommended from The Bus Depot at the time. They have lots of life left. Receipts are in the binder that goes with the bus. We could only add 24 pics. Call 352-341-0113 for more pics or for a test drive. All questions welcome.

VW confirms new TDI for second half of 2014 in Golf, Jetta, Passat and Beetle
Tue, 18 Mar 2014Diesel lovers rejoice. Volkswagen is bringing the latest iteration of its 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel engine - dubbed the EA288 - to the 2015 model year Golf, Jetta, Passat, Beetle (2013 model pictured above) and Beetle Convertible, and the cars will be on sale in the second half of 2014.
While it shares its moniker with the old diesel, the new engine produces 150 horsepower, a 10-hp boost, and 236 pound-feet of torque. VW promises improved fuel economy as well, but it hasn't announced specifically what amount yet. The company claims that despite the same displacement, only the bore spacing is shared with the previous version. The mill includes new features like exhaust gas recirculation, an intercooler integrated into the intake manifold and low-friction camshaft bearings.
VW Group of America has had great success with diesels in the US recently. Vee-Dub and Audi sold 105,899 diesel-equipped models in 2013. It was the first time the group ever sold over 100,000 diesels in a year, and they accounted for 24 percent of sales. Scroll down to read the full press release about the announcement.
Chrysler and Fiat offering $1,000 rebates to VW owners as Marchionne gets tough
Mon, 10 Dec 2012The throw-down between Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne and Volkswagen has heated up in earnest. According to Bloomberg, Fiat and Chrysler are now offering current Volkswagen owners in the US $1,000 rebates to trade in their ride. It's the latest in a series of shots Marchionne has taken at his German rival. As you may recall, the Fiat executive entered into a spat with Volkwagen board chairman Ferdinand Piëch and CEO Martin Winterkorn in October after the duo called for Marchionne's resignation from presidency of the European Automotive Manufacturers Association (AECA). At the time, the Volkswagen executives were quoted as saying Fiat would not survive the European economic downturn.
In response, Marchionne called the German executives "reprehensible," and accused Volkswagen of using a pricing strategy that has created created a "bloodbath" in the EU. Volkswagen has taken to steep discounting to carve out ever-larger slices of market share in Europe, but the company has a much smaller foothold in the US. Marchionne may be trying to hit Volkswagen where the manufacturer is weakest with the new Fiat new incentive program.
Late last week, the Fiat executive was voted to a second term as ACEA president.
