1973 Volkswagen Westfalia Camper on 2040-cars
Cambridge, Maryland, United States
|
This is my 1973 VW Westy. After selling my '72 VW Sportsmobile I found this lovely bus up for sale. I have used this as my daily and has been on some cross country adventures from east coast to the west, up until its final run. One the way back from a visit to Texas as we were coming home we lost just about all the compression. We took it to our mechanic immediately, and have always taken it to him if there was ever a problem. All work tickets have been kept while the bus was in our hands. After he had gone through and tried everything he came to the conclusion of the engine and carb need a rebuild or need to be replace owners choice.
After taken into thought of how much I travel and need more reliable/stronger engine for those long drive we decided to part with the bus and move into a 90s VW Camper. So as much as I love looking out as seeing the beautiful bus in the backyard we need to let it go. I have kept up on all the mechanics up until its last adventure and have all work tickets available for you. There is rust in some spots as is most old cars from the east coast. The history of this bus was it was originally bought in Colorado and eneded up sometime in Pennsylvania when the previous owner found it. I came upon the bus on a back road of Delaware and its been with me ever since. The interior is very nice that’s what really caught my attention as some of these buses inside are pretty bare when you find them or in really rough shape. Other than the last engine issue i never had any serious problems with the bus while on any drive. The only thing i have added to the westy has been stickers, and wrapped most of the interior with hemp due to my company name Hemp Wrapped Bus. if you have any questions please feel free to contact me by email. *BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PICK-UP *ALL DEPOSIT'S ARE NON-REFUNDABLE *CAR IS SOLD AS IS WERE IS |

VW Super Bowl teaser with Jimmy Cliff is like a less-mean Tosh.0 Web Redemption
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Reggae super-duper-star and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jimmy Cliff has been using music to send positive vibes out into the universe for decades now, so its no surprise that his message on behalf of Volkswagen is one of redemption.
Dubbed Sunny Side, this web-spot is VW's warmup of sorts for what promises to be another blockbuster year in the world of Super Bowl commercials. Without giving away the game, the euphonious commercial sees Cliff opening his arms and his heart to some YouTube 'celebrities' that might see courser treatment from the likes of Tosh.0, for instance. We can't help but be reminded of Coca-Cola's legendary 1971 Hilltop spot with the "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" lyric, too.
Enjoy the pre-Super Bowl VW spot below, and don't forget to pay it forward... your karma will thank you. For those of you that just can't get enough of commercial-making magic, we've included a "making-of" video, as well.
VW Golf GTI wrung out by Chris Harris
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Enthusiasts like nothing more than to crucify modern interpretations of their favorite performance models for failing to live up to some imagined ethos. Even the Volkswagen GTI has suffered its fair share of slings and arrows for growing in size and curb weight. Chris Harris recently spent some time with the all-new MK VII GTI to find out if growing up means giving up on what makes the machine so special.
Judging by his comments, Harris certainly doesn't think so. Yes, the new GTI is considerably more comfortable than its predecessors, but that's hardly a bad thing. The multitude of driving modes actually seem to add depth to the car rather than simply try to force one tool to do many jobs, and Harris even finds the machine's electronic power steering tolerable. As a result, Harris goes so far as to call the Volkswagen GTI "one of the best cars to actually own." How's that for high praise? You can watch the video for yourself by scrolling below.
Volkswagen debuts MkVII-based diesel Golf GTD
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As Volkswagen prepares for the launch of the seventh-generation Golf, it continues to show off some of the car's different variants. With the standard Golf and the ultra-efficient BlueMotion Concept out of the way, now we're finally starting to see some of the sportier versions planned for the hatchback. Confirmed for a debut at the Geneva Motor Show, Volkswagen has now given us our first glimpse at the Golf GTD.
Just think of the GTD as a diesel version of the GTI with all the handling and styling upgrades, and then add a torquey engine to the equation. (We had the chance to sample the current GTD over the summer, so click here to read more.) To go with the new body style, VW also gave the GTD a new TDI engine consisting of a similar turbocharged and direct-injected 2.0-liter inline-four layout but with an output of 184 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque - that's an increase of 14 hp and 22 lb-ft over the current GTD. That's a pretty good oomph, but the GTD won't be setting any acceleration records with VW quoting a 0-62 mile per hour time of 7.5 seconds thanks to the car's 3,036-pound curb weight.
The styling of the MkVII Golf lends itself quite well to the more aggressive body kit found on the GTD (and likely matching the GTI). The new front fascia and blacked-out grille give the GTD a sporty look up front, while 17-inch sport wheels, rocker panel extensions and smoked LED taillights finish off the visual changes. The GTD will only be offered in three exterior colors: Tornado Red, Black and Pure White. As expected, the interior gets the plaid seat inserts and flat-bottomed sport steering wheel, but the car also gets stainless steel pedals, a black headliner, ambient cabin lighting and a specific gauge cluster readout.
