  1968 Volkswagen Bus Camper

Type 2 Westfalia

This is a very original, very clean, very complete 1968 Volkswagen Type 2 Westfalia, it is in very good condition and needs very little that we are aware of. It is an unrestored Pacific Northwest Survivor 

Very nice and featuring all of its original camping gear, these are tough to find in this great of condition.

It really does hearken back to a simpler time and is an absolute blast to cruise around in. 

The paint appears shiny and smooth with no large imperfections. The Orange main body paint is fresh and looks great.

The interior looks to be original and is in very good condition, no rips, tears or stains in the upholstery. It appears not to have any water leaks or damage from being outside too much.  It also doesnt have any bad smells or seem to have been smoked in.  

The Pop-Top functions great and the original upper cot is intact and functional. There is some tearing in the canvas, as well as some stains, this is one of the few items I would probably replace.

The motor runs great, does not smoke, starts well hot or cold, although it does leave a few drips of oil on the ground as these usually do.  It was rebuilt 36k miles ago, so I am sure it just needs some gaskets to seal it up.

The tires are like new, and the suspension is much improved over stock with large sway bars and quality shocks. The suspension upgrades really make this bus drive much better than most.  All bus's should have these upgrades, but they are expensive.

The motor is a 1600cc single port with a Dual Weber ICT kit.  Plus other upgrades like larger oil sump and ignition upgrades.

The transmission shifts as it great with a Scat shifter, linkage is tight and syncros are good. The transmission was rebuilt by German Transaxle of America and features a 4.12 final drive.

There is very little rust to be found on this vehicle; I have included a picture of the right front corner that has a small amount of rust present.  This would be an easy repair, or not to worry about.

This bus it appears to have been garage kept and very, very well taken care of over the years.

If you are in the market for one of these charming old rigs, look no further, this is a great example.

VW confirms Audi's emissions test transmission anomalies

Mon, Nov 14 2016

Just a week after reports that the California Air Resources Board (CARB) found an emissions cheat in some Audi automatic transmission software programs, parent company Volkswagen has come clean. As reported by Reuters, VW's response to an article by Munich's Sueddeutsche Zeitung stated that the adaptive shift functionality can "lead to incorrect and non-reproducible results." Adaptive shift programs alter the characteristics of a vehicle's transmission to suit different driving styles. Gentle driving will result in earlier shifts and lower engine revs, while hard-charging on the pedals and steering will make the transmission more responsive and hold gears longer. That adaptation can change over time or even on a short-term basis. And it can save fuel. The difference in this case is that is seems that the Audi transmissions were specifically programmed to detect emissions test conditions. As we explained in a previous article, one of those test conditions is keeping the wheel straight. Turning more than 15 degrees shuts the test mode off. According to Reuters, the US government is trying to determine whether this classifies as an emissions cheat device, although VW, Audi, and the EPA have not commented on the record. This latest accusation is separate from the larger VW diesel emissions scandal. Related Video: Image Credit: Getty Editorial Government/Legal Green Audi Volkswagen Emissions vw diesel scandal

Icon goes Derelict on a 1967 VW Bus

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Jonathan Ward and Icon have an eye for the little details in everything they make, and that's especially true of the company's Derelict projects. This time they are turning their attention to the '67 Volkswagen Bus. The van might look a little tired at first, but Icon gives the VW a complete makeover to keep it on the road for decades to come. Ward's client for this build had owned VW Buses before but wanted to have a truly usable one. Making that harder, she requested that the final result remain true to the essence of these classic vans. To do that, Icon let the exterior remain almost entirely stock, except for a few minor additions like the roof rack, tent, and a 110-volt outlet hidden at the back. The interior was kept looking original too, but the builders installed custom walnut cabinets and a load of modern upgrades, including air conditioning. The air-cooled boxer engine was also dumped in favor of a 2.0-liter four-cylinder sourced from a Jetta. To really understand just how much is changed, let Ward take you on a complete tour of the overhauled, vintage VW in this clip to show off all of his team's impressive work. Related Video:

2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition brings exclusivity to the granddaddy of hot hatches

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

The Volkswagen booth at this year's Chicago Auto Show was filled with various special edition models of the Beetle and GTI. In addition to the GTI Wolfsburg Edition, the Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition helps to wrap up the 2013 model year as VW readies the all-new MkVII Golf next year.
Only 3,000 of the GTI Driver's Edition models will be produced in four-door body style only, and the available color palette will be limited to just Candy White, Carbon Steel Gray and Deep Black. The package will come standard with the GTI's Sunroof and Navigation package, and it will add unique features such as the 18-inch "Laguna" wheels, a golf-ball shift knob, partial leather seats and red-stitching on the carpeted floor mats. Buyers of this package will also get a certificate of authenticity and some GTI swag such as a hat, keychain and parking sign.
Starting price for the 2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition is $29,695 with the six-speed manual and $30,795 if you choose the DSG - both prices exclude destination charges.
