1969 Vw Bus Early Bay Westfalia Camper on 2040-cars
Madison, Connecticut, United States
|
1969 VW Bus Early Bay Westfalia Camper Van. Runs, drives, and stops well, registration just expired in March 2014. Bus is complete, all electricals work, engine runs smoothly, could probably use a tune-up. Brakes are great, no pulling, no vibration, some new brake lines. Steering and suspension are tight for the age of the bus, shifter is a little sloppy and probably needs bushings. I have only owned the car for a short time, bought over the winter , drove 30 miles to my home, waited for Spring to list it. Previous owner drove it weekly, liked to camp all over the Northeast in it.
Interior is very good, but needs front seat covers. Westfalia camper interior is in very good shape, and complete with sleeping cot; cot needs new canvas. Dash is very good, no cracks. Body is straight, there is typical rust in the places that they sell replacement panels for. The floor feels very solid; you can jump up and down inside and it feels solid. Previous owner replaced front floor area with diamond plate steel. Heater channels are rusted out, so no heat. Original steel painted wheels and hubcaps, tires are new. Also, previous owner fashioned an optional cloth cover for the roof opening; if you want to take the camper top off for the bus look, the rag top works well, is watertight, and looks pretty good. Obviously, sold as is without warranty, and you're welcome to come inspect and drive it. I will also be happy to drive it to meet your auto transporter for pickup in my town. |

Volkswagen Golf Wagon leaked ahead of official unveiling
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Wagons ho! These three images of the upcoming Volkswagen Golf Wagon have leaked online ahead of the car's official debut, which may very well be at the Geneva Motor Show. Looking over the photos doesn't really bring any surprises - after all, this is a VW Golf with a wagon rear end grafted on, or basically what we expect next Jetta SportWagen will be.
We can only share these three images at this time, but fret not, folks. There's little doubt that all the details and images will be flowing from Volkswagen in short order. In the meantime, click on the images above to view them in high resolution.
VW looking to MAN up, ditch Mercedes van deal
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Unlike the US, the commercial truck market throughout the rest of the world is chocked full of competitors from many different automakers. Since 2006, Volkswagen has had a fullsize van called the Crafter that was a result of a partnership with Daimler AG and based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This partnership is supposed to last through 2016, but Reuters is reporting that VW might be looking to end its relationship with Daimler and create its own van in cooperation with German truck and bus maker MAN.
The article says that VW AG has more than a 75-percent stake in MAN, which would essentially be keeping the new commercial vehicle in-house. Even if VW bolts, Daimler still has a deal worked out in the commercial truck industry between its subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso and Renault-Nissan to supply the other with different trucks.
VW recalls 1.1M Jetta, Beetle models in US, China over suspension fears
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Volkswagen is recalling about 1.1 million vehicles in China and North America in a newly announced campaign affecting the rear suspensions on some models. For the US, the action covers about 442,265 vehicles, including 400,602 examples of its 2011-2013 Jetta and 41,663 units of the 2012-2013 Beetle and Beetle Convertible. According to Reuters, the recall affects a further 126,000 vehicles in Canada and about 581,090 in China, including related market-specific models like the Sagitar.
The problem can occur if the affected models have a collision to the rear or the side-rear of the vehicle. It's then possible for the trailing arms on the torsion-beam rear suspension to be damaged. If the harm isn't noticed, then the part could fracture while driving. Obviously, a broken rear suspension is going to have an adverse effect on handling.
To fix things, VW dealers will inspect the trailing arms on the models, and they will all receive a sheetmetal part that will make a distinctive sound if broken in the future. If already damaged, the entire torsion beam will be replaced. Obviously, this work will be done at no charge to owners.
