1975 VW Westfalia Campmobile. Rare Hard Top
This bus is my daily driver and a great car. Lots of fun. I just drove it to northern Wisconsin and back to CA last summer. The Good: It's runs well and is reliable. It starts right up. I have gone through it and done a lot of work. Has many new parts...starter, 2 batteries (main battery is a $200 Optima and Bosch backup), alternator, distributor wires, brakes, front and rear shocks, window seals all around (although some are not installed yet but will go with the car), new tail light assembly, new side mirrors, new chrome headlight rings, all the lights work on the bus, new license plate light assembly, new side marker lights/lens, new front windshield, new clutch cable, new carpet, 2 new brake pressure switches, new CV joints, CV boots, and CV axles, tires are good...etc....new steering damper, voltage regulator..... The interior is original with blue plaid. All the cabinets are in place and in good condition but one cabinet is missing a drawer and the top. Original jalousie windows open and close. I have the original owners manual and the bug screen for the rear hatch. The owner before me had the car nearly 20 years in Southern California and so the rust is minimal. This car does not need smog in the State of California. The Bad: Needs a proper paint job. I've been painting it with a spray can. I finished the front and back but not the sides. Turned out really good, however, it really does need a professional paint job. Still needs some finishing touches. For instance, I made a beautiful wood panel for the drivers door and rear hatch but haven't got around to the passengers side or the sliding door. This is a great bus that keeps getting more valuable. The Hard Top Westy's are especially getting more valuable every year. |

Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki
Tue, 02 Oct 2012Way back in 2004, Volkswagen took umbrage with Suzuki being granted permission to use the nameplate "SWIFT GTi" for a performance variant of its small-car offering (2012 equivalent seen here). Now, eight years and surely some very steep legal bills later, VW has finally dropped its claim against Suzuki.
The General Court of the European Union stated, back in March of this year, that Suzuki's GTi registration could not be confused with VW's "Golf GTI." Volkswagen had appealed that ruling, though has now reportedly called off the dogs. In fact, Germany's Die Welt reports that the appeal has been dead for several weeks now.
This news comes amongst continued arbitration acrimony between the two automakers, all revolving around VW's forced divestiture of nearly 20-percent stake it purchased in Suzuki some two years ago.
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.
TN politicians may push to end VW incentives if plant goes union
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Volkswagen's Chattanooga Assembly Plant is scheduled to vote on whether to unionize in the coming days, but Tennessee state lawmakers are threatening to deny future tax subsidies to the factory, if the vote is successful. The factory is currently the only Volkswagen plant worldwide that is not unionized.
The states's Republican lawmakers have been particularly vocal against the union vote. Tennessee state senator Bo Watson said during a press conference that VW would have a "very tough time" with future incentives if the vote were successful, according to Automotive News. Tennessee House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick said the "heavy hand" of the UAW is not welcome there. VW has drawn criticism from both sides because it has allowed both pro- and anti-union groups to speak to workers and hand out leaflets.
Roughly 1,500 factory employees will vote on whether to unionize from February 12-14. If successful, the Chattanooga factory would be the first in the US organized under a German-style works council system where white- and blue-collar workers directly negotiate factory issues with the company's management.
