Very difficult to find a nice camper this year in this condition, it is a very solid example of a VW Westfalia camper
Although not perfect, it is very presentable and a joy to drive.
It has a newer more powerful engine, that was rebuilt a few years ago, and now has about 25,000 miles on it. I have receipts for about 5,000 in mechanical work that go with the camper. The engine runs strong and starts up every time. The manual transmission shifts as it should.
The outside body of the camper is in very good shape, not a show vehicle, but it is in very good condition. The undercarriage is solid.
The interior has been redone with new material very recently. There are new hard wood floating floors installed. The interior is in very good shape.
The camper comes with the factory sink and ice box, then a buddy seat with a heater underneath(the heater is not connected). The camper also runs off of a gas heater with separate exhaust. The top folds up and there is a bed that extends out. There is also a bed that can be used over the front driver and passenger seat. When the bench seat in the back folds out, you can sleep up to two people. There is a ripe in the canvass when the top is up. There are no leaks inside the camper. The windshield will have to be replaced as there is a crack.
Aside from the engine being rebuilt, the front has new calipers, rotors, and brake pads. The power booster is acting up, and may have to be replaced, but it stops fine.
There is an awning, not shown, that goes with the camper.
The camper is located in Surrey, British Columbia. Arrangements can be made to have it taken to Bellingham, WA, at an additional cost of 200.00, or the unit can be picked up in BC.
Please bid only if you are serious about purchasing the camper. Once you have committed to the puchase, this is not an opportunity to check out the camper afterwards, after the auction ends. Ask all questions prior to auction close.
thank you

VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad
Mon, 28 Jan 2013
Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.
Anti-UAW VW workers move to form own union
Sat, 30 Aug 2014The struggle over unionization at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, continues to get more complicated. There's now a second union fighting to organize at the plant; although this one is staunchly against the actions of the United Auto Workers. At the same time, the UAW is still signing up voluntary members to its recently created Local 42 at the facility and is reportedly near having a majority of the hourly employees on its side.
The new, anti-UAW union campaign is being spearheaded by employee Mike Burton, according to Reuters, and he calls his group the American Council of Employees. He claims to already have 108 signatures in support of his organization. Burton believes that the UAW is harmful to businesses, and his goal is to force another vote to determine a preferred union among workers.
The UAW was initially defeated (712 to 626) when it attempted a union vote at the Tennessee plant in February. However, UAW secretary-treasurer Gary Casteel told Reuters that Local 42 has already signed up over 700 members. If it can reach a majority of the roughly 1,500 employees, the group hopes VW might consider recognizing it as the factory's union.
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.
