1977 VW Westfalia
Runs and Drives Excellent
This Westy was part of an estate and has been stored in a heated warehouse since 1996. It is clean and virtually rust free. The odometer shows 56,504 miles. The engine was overhauled to the tune of $3000.00 at 56,479 miles in 1996 (have receipt) so the engine has about 25 miles on it.
I had it towed to a reputable VW mechanic shop and had them go through the bus and get it running. They drained the gas, replaced the fuel pump and filter, cleaned injectors, new plugs, inspected brakes, put new bushing in the shift linkage and installed correct 185R14 light truck tires. A good spare tire was bolted to the front and a new battery installed. The owner of the shop said the bus is clean enough that the mileage could be 56k, not 156k. He was very impressed with how rust free the body and undercarriage was. Mechanically the bus is in great shape.
It is also equipped with a DPD air conditioning unit. Although it is not currently working all of the components are there from the compressor to the under dash unit.
The body is in good shape except for a dent in the drivers front. The under side of the bus is excellent with no rust. Floors are excellent. Of course it needs paint, but looks presentable the way it is. One of the slat windows is missing from the sliding door. Looks like a little bit of body work was done on the rear 1/4, but it looks good and is difficult to detect. All of the doors open and close great and the slider works the way it should.
The interior is in good shape and very original. Seats are great except for a small tear in the drivers. Beds are good and the original kids cot is included. All of the original curtains are there including the one that goes around the inside of the windshield for privacy at the campground. Cabinets need some restoration and the original table is missing. All of the gauges work to include fuel gauge. Radio is missing. Has the sink, ice box, and inverter.
The canvas top is the original unit and is in good condition but has some pin holes in the front.
Overall this is a good driver and an excellent candidate for restoration.
Call 719-557-1755 anytime with questions. If you need to see something not covered in the auction photos call and I can text or email what you need.
Unless other arrangements are made through me a $500.00 deposit is due within 24hrs of auction close and I would like full payment within 48hrs.
Thanks!

Porsche 911 with VW turbodiesel prepares for LeMons assault
Fri, 21 Mar 2014LeMons racing is a wonderful example that setting limits can actually breed creativity. The series mandates that all entries must cost $500, not counting safety equipment, and that cap forces teams to be ingenious in how they build a racecar. Take for example this diesel-powered Porsche 911, which its creators have dubbed Ferkel the Nein-11, that will be racing in the Sears Pointless race this weekend in Sonoma, California.
This Frankenstein combines a 911 chassis that was originally bought just for its European powertrain and a Volkswagen TDI diesel engine mounted in the rear. After deciding the shell could still be of some use, the team decided to go racing. "We began brainstorming what replacement drivetrain to use for maximum offense and there was really only one answer: a diesel," said Philipp von Weitershausen, one of the team captains, to Jalopnik. They bought a 1998 Jetta TDI on the cheap and started figuring out a way to hack the engine into the bay. To pay respect to the donor, the VW's trunk was highly modified (and drilled) and grafted onto the back of Ferkel.
This team isn't a newcomer to LeMons. Its last car was a classic VW Beetle with a Subaru engine and dual controls, named Ferdinand the Bug, which could be driven from the left or right side. It's quite a sight.
Toyota reclaims global sales crown, GM and VW not far behind
Mon, 28 Jan 2013TheDetroitBureau.com reports Toyota has retaken the global sales crown. The Japanese automaker turned out 9.75 million vehicles last year, putting it just ahead of General Motors, with 9.29 million vehicles. Volkswagen, meanwhile, filled out the podium by building 9.1 million units in 2012.
Still, Toyota numbers fell just below projections the automaker made earlier in the year, due largely to a fierce territorial dispute between Japan and China that has seen mainland buyers shun Japanese goods. But the news marks a substantial comeback for Toyota. The company fell to third place in the global production race in 2011 after tragic earthquake and tsunami caused several plant closures.
In Japan, Toyota enjoyed a sales increase of 35 percent over the previous year, while the company's worldwide sales jumped by 23 percent thanks in part to new additions to the Prius line. The automaker is forecasting yet another increase for 2013, with the company projecting to reach 9.91 million units this year. Neither Volkswagen nor GM have released their own projections just yet.
UAW angered over VW workers getting right to defend anti-union vote
Thu, 13 Mar 2014The United Auto Workers have called a decision by the National Labor Relations Board allowing anti-UAW employees at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga the right to defend voting down unionization at the plant "an outrage."
You'll recall that the union was defeated by a vote of 712 to 626 in a contentious February election. The UAW claims the outcome was unfairly swayed by pro-business, anti-union forces, including Senator Bob Corker and political advocate Grover Norquist.
This new decision by the NLRB essentially gives workers backed by the anti-UAW National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation and Southern Momentum a formal voice in the impending hearing on the UAW's appeal of the vote.
