1972 Volkswagon Camper Bus on 2040-cars
Huntsville, Alabama, United States
|
1972 VW Campmobile! This bus was owned by a lady in Marshalltown Iowa and was owned until 1996. I have her notebook detailing every fillip and trip from 1972-1995!!!. It was wholesaled when she traded it and ended up in Florida where the second owner purchased it. I bought it from them in 2007 and it was not running. The pics show all the receipts for parts and labor I have had done. All work was done professionally not by me. The Bus is awesome to drive and here is a list of what has been done in the past 5 years and I have put less than 2000 miles on the bus since:
-Engine rebuilt by Wayne Pachico, the local VW expert. Wayne actually held the world VW Bug drag record for a short while! The engine has been completely rebuilt but I didn't have the parts painted so it still looks old. Engine is solid and sound runs perfect! See pic for details -New brakes, drums, pads, lines, calipers, hoses, cylinders, shoes -New paint outside and door jambs. -New Hankook tires -New windshield -all rubber seals on bus are new including windows, doors, handles, engine compartment, sliding door. Every seal is new, $920 kit -New upholstery on interior. Seats, Bed, floor mats, carpet -New OEM tent and matching cot. I found this from a guy that's uncle was an O eM tent maker for. VW and he had it since the late 70's! -New JVC stereo system, very nice CD, Sirius XM ready and plug in your IPhone! -New Front. Emblem -New side mirrors -New sun visors -New tail lights, headlights, signal lights -New chrome hubcaps I'm sure I missed some things but you get the general idea that everything on the bus is new! It is a great ride, I drive it enough to keep it fresh and had a blast getting it back on the road but it needs to go. Please feel free to email me with any questions as I have tried to describe the bus as accurately as I can it is 42 years old but drives like a new one ! The bus is at 35741 zip code for shipping quotes. I would feel very comfortable driving the bus anywhere. Last fall I drove it every day for 6 weeks while my truck was being repaired and never had the first issue. Very dependable! Good luck and happy camping! On Jun-03-14 at 13:10:08 PDT, seller added the following information: The sink and extra seats pictured come with the bus. I also have the original hubcaps and the original stereo. The underside is in good condition. The only rust is where the battery sits which is pretty normal. I just didn't get to it. It's a cheap fix but doesn't have to be done. Thx just trying to give full disclosure. Happy Camping! |

Skoda Octavia vRS is just the thing for your pumped-up neighborhood
Fri, 26 Jul 2013Skoda, oh Skoda. You're just so cool. Maybe it's the fact that it's a brand that we don't get in these United States, but Skoda's rebadged Volkswagens, in particular the new Octavia vRS shown here, are just different enough from the hum-drum VWs on our shores that the Czech brand seems strangely desirable. Maybe we're just craving forbidden fruit.
This short, minute-long spot covers the new vRS in a world of excess, where strollers ride on 26-inch wheels, lawnmowers feature V8 engines and ice cream cones are the size of toddlers. As things often go in these ads, the Octavia vRS draws the eyes of passerby that are seemingly use to things far more ridiculous than a reasonably priced Czech sedan. In reality, the Octavia should be fairly familiar to American buyers. It uses the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-pot found in the Volkswagen GTI and Jetta GLI, with 217 horsepower, and sits on the same platform as the Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf. Take a look at the full spot, below.
Volkswagen Golf R Evo may debut at Beijing Motor Show
Thu, 23 Jan 2014If a report in Auto Express is correct, a lighter, faster brother to the Volkswagen Golf R will be shown to the world at the Beijing Motor Show in April. Said to be called the Golf R Evo, the even harder hot hatch would be unveiled as one of those concepts that's practically a de facto presentation of the genuine thing. The Evo in its name will come from having a carbon fiber roof and CF in the bodywork, lighter wheels, thinner bucket seats up front and a roll cage instead of rear seats.
If there's a power increase, it's been described as "a small bump." However, as the report mentions, if the Jenny Craig regimen can drop 100 kilograms (220 pounds) from the the 3,247-pound weight of the European Golf R, then the Golf R Evo will do about the same damage on the scales as the Golf but have at least 50 more horsepower and 44 more pound-feet of torque.
Since we still don't have the current Golf, this isn't something that should keep you awake even if the 'concept' does become a production model. But it is good to know that the Golf R is really going to start pushing its boundaries.
1000-hp Mk1 VW Golf is terrifyingly cool
Tue, 04 Jun 2013There are plenty of things to love about the Mk1 Volkswgen Golf. The machine's horsepower isn't one of them. From the factory, the little hatch cranked a breathy 112 horsepower from the most robust form of its 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. Boba motoring, however, has taken that figure and multiplied it by a factor of nearly 10. If 1,000 horsepower sounds terrifying in a machine with a wheelbase of just 94.5 inches, it should. A massive Garrett GTX4202R turbo force-feeds the little mill through a tweaked 16-valve KR head. The crew calls the beast the 16Vampir, and we think that's fitting.
Of course, we'd wager you quit reading right about the time you set your eyes on that headline. Those of you who've stuck around this long can point yourselves below to see the maniacal creation in action. You won't be disappointed.
