1978 Westfalia on 2040-cars
Harwich, Massachusetts, United States
|
I've owned this Westy for 7 years now,I've replaced the clutch with a heavy duty model, all cables, hoses, the engine has less than 2,500 miles since a professional overhaul with new pistons and cylinders, fuel pump and so much more, even the fuel tank has been removed, cleaned and coated to prevent corrosion,there are two batteries 1 deep cycle and 1 cranking, the canvas is clean with no tears, the brakes have been gone through, tires have less than 10k and are proper for the bus. the interior is in good original condition with 2 burner stove, sink, electric refrigerator, and battery charger with the exception of the front seats that the P.O. had redone with new padding, the 1st class paint is new and perfect, all window and door seals are recent and of the best quality available. The bus drives beautifully and the front end is tight, no wobbles, windows are excellent, everything I've done over the years has been to the best standards, the goal being to have a vehicle that will go and go reliably. There is a receiver for a trailer hitch or bike rack with trailer light wiring, included are screens for the sliding door and the back hatch, curtains all around including windshield and cockpit windows, child's cot front snack table and rear table. 1 key for ignition and all locks. I've finally got the Bus in the condition to travel the country but now MY situation won't allow me to. I would love to see it go to someone that will enjoy it. glad to answer any questions and/or send more pics. Good Luck.

VW launches special edition Touareg X
Tue, 03 Dec 2013Volkswagen is no stranger to special editions, but its Touareg SUV has remained largely unspecial in terms of exclusive trims or unique packages. That's changed with the announcement of the Touareg X, a 1,000-unit run based on the V6 TDI Lux trim - mid-range diesel model, between the navigation-equipped TDI Sport and the TDI R-Line.
The already special Touareg gets 19-inch "Moab" wheels, LED taillights (to go along with its LED DRLs) and "Touareg X" badging, while all 1,000 units will be painted Moonlight Blue Pearl. Tweaks in the cabin are equally light, with a black-on-black-on-black color scheme dominating - black Vienna leather, a black headliner and piano black trim. Aluminum bits make an appearance in the form of the door sills and pedals, although that's about it.
Other than those few aesthetic tweaks, the Touareg X is equipped largely like the Touareg Lux on which it's based. That means navigation, a panoramic sunroof, power seats, LED running lights, dual-zone air conditioning and heated power seats, among other tech pieces. Pricing starts at $56,170, making for a slight bump of $1,195 over the standard Touareg Lux.
2014 Volkswagen GTI to start a new hot hatch era in Geneva
Tue, 26 Feb 2013The upcoming Geneva Motor Show is going to be stocked with important new production models and sexy concept cars, but hot hatch enthusiasts will undoubtedly see it as the coming out party of the MkVII Volkswagen GTI. And while we've only got European specifications and pricing to go on for now, we can tell from the get-go that the new GTI will be a proper heir to VW's hot hatch legacy.
This seventh-generation GTI is powered by a turbocharged, direct-injection 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which makes 220 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque in base form. For the first time ever, Volkswagen is also offering a performance pack for the GTI as well, which ups the horsepower to 230 (torque remains unchanged). With a slightly lower curb weight to push around - the new base car weighs 2,978 pounds versus 3,034 for the current three-door GTI - 0-62 miles per hour is now achieved in 6.5 seconds, and top speed is 153 mph. (Cars with the performance pack offer 0-62 mph in 6.4 seconds, and a 155-mph top speed.) Buyers my choose between a six-speed manual transmission or an optional six-speed DSG unit.
Visually, the new GTI has obviously adopted the slant-nosed looks of the MkVII Golf, though with plenty of added drama. The exterior is dominated by the 17-inch "Brooklyn" wheels wearing 225-section rubber, and the aggressive front fascia gets black honeycombed inserts in the upper and lower grille sections. At launch, Volkswagen will offer the GTI in three colors: the Pure White seen here, Tornado Red and Black. Tartan patterned seats are of course still an option for the interior, while the GTI-specific steering wheel and shift knob are standard.
