Bus is in great condition and ready for camping. Since I have owned the bus, I have done the following:
New exterior paint, (original Pearl White color)
New pop top canvas by Go Westy
New front seat covers by TMI
New 215/70/14 tires with a mildly aggressive tread for off road driving
New wheel cylinders on all four wheels, new shoes, and resurfaced drums

New rear window, new window rubber on rear window and front windshield. (front windshield does have a small star in the lower passenger side, which has been professionally sealed)
New front, rear, and side lenses, headlight rings, hub caps
New laminate floor in camper area. Front and rear floors are excellent.
Misc. new odd and ends, seals, and parts.
Motor is a 1600 single port, that runs very strong. Just had it tuned and a compression test showed 145, 140, 140, 140 at each of the four cylinders! You can drive this bus anywhere!
Original blue plates still on the bus. it is currently registered till 2014 and I have clear pink slip in hand.
Bus has original Westfalia z-bed and jump seat, however, they have been recovered in black vinyl (before I owned it). I also has the original ice box and sink, which works. it is missing the wardrobe closet and headbanger cabinet.
Bus has an Alpine CD player with detachable face plate. Nothing special, but at least it is something to listen to on the long road trips.
Bus has both the upper fold out cot and the front childs cot for over the front seats. Both have been recovered in a blue denim (before I owned the bus). They are in great shape and very sturdy.
Bus has aftermarket curtains (installed before I owned the bus). They function well, but have faded from sun exposure. I also have a rear bug screen that allows you to keep the rear hatch open for ventilation.
If you want a great looking bus and to have a lot of fun and adventures, this is the bus for you. Thanks for looking.
Buyer is responsible for shipping and a $500 deposit is due within 24 hours of winning the bus.

VW joins Daimler's protest of new A/C refrigerant as EU deadline for compliance passes
Sun, 06 Jan 2013The case of Dupont and Honeywell's refrigerant R-1234yf is doing the exact opposite of keeping things cool. The two chemical companies have spent years and hundreds of millions of dollars developing R-1234yf to replace R-134a, the new refrigerant shown to be 99.7-percent kinder to the environment than the one it is meant to succeed. Part of that development has been years of testing by governments, outside safety agencies and automakers to approve the chemical for use in cars. It passed the protocols necessary for the European Union to declare that new and significantly revised cars from 2013 onward needed to use R-1234yf, and mandated that every car as of 2017 must use it.
Enter Daimler AG. The automaker created a head-on collision test with a B-Class at their Sindelfingen test track that would lead to the pressurized refrigerant being sprayed on the engine. The result in 20 out of 20 test was that the refrigerant burst into flames as soon as it hit the hot engine, while Daimler says that R-134a does not catch fire in the same test. Another unexpected result of the R-1234yf test was the release of hydrogen flouride, a chemical far more deadly to humans than hydrogen cyanide, emitted in such amounts that it that turned the windshield white as it began to eat into the glass.
Said a Daimler engineer in a Reuters piece, "It was scarcely believable. The most complicated lab tests conducted using the most sensitive measuring instruments around found nothing and all we do is drive a car around a couple of times, open a tiny hole in the refrigerant line and the next thing you know the car is on fire." So Daimler said it wouldn't use the refrigerant, and it recalled the cars it had already shipped with R-1234yf.
Production Volkswagen Taigun crossover caught in patent filing?
Wed, 01 May 2013Volkswagen brought an angular, bulldog-like small crossover concept called Taigun to the São Paulo motor show last year, claiming that it wanted to gauge interest in the design before making a decision about production. If a new report with alleged leaked patent images is to be believed, then, interest must have been pretty high.
China's Auto.Sohu.com has published this group of Taigun images, claiming that they have been sourced from the Chinese patent office and that the subcompact VW utility based on the Up! has been cleared for production.
If all of that is true, and if these images are representative of the final product, you'll see that designers haven't done much to alter the concept car's appearance. Comparing, shot for shot, with the images we have from Brazil, we see that even small details like roof rack-mounted lights and exhaust tips integrated in the rear fascia have been carried over. Take a closer look for yourself in the attached galleries.
Porsche-Piech buy 10% stake in VW's holding company
Tue, 18 Jun 2013In August, 2009, as the scuttled merger of Porsche and Volkswagen had gone bad and Porsche was backed up against the ropes, Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAHSE) relinquished a ten-percent stake in itself to Qatar Holdings as well as options it held on 17 percent of VW shares. The sale meant that, for the first time since the founding of the company 61 years before, an entity outside the Porsche and Piech families had a say in the running of PAHSE.
Buying that ten-percent stake back returns full ownership to the two families, the holding company's sole possession being ownership of 50.7 percent of VW's common shares. The price paid wasn't disclosed, but at market rates the purchase would be worth close to $1.25 billion. Qatar intends to hold onto the 17-percent stake it has in Volkswagen.
