1971 Volkswagen Westfalia Bus

I purchased this bus in 1999 and it was my daily driver 2001-2003. Its been pretty much sitting in my garage since.

The engine was professionally rebuilt locally about 25k miles ago; now running at 1641 cc's. The rebuilding mechanic said the core was good for another rebuild if desired. I had the generator replaced with an alternator, added a deep oil sump increasing capacity to 4 quarts, electronic ignition (no points to set) and dual carburetors.

One unique point of interest is engine access through the top. A previous owner cut the bus floor over the engine, creating a "trap door" access. Its saves your back when working on the top of the engine and also provides more light in the engine compartment.

The engine was rebuilt at a local "two-guys" garage, about 25k miles ago. Bored out to 1641CC, it also has new heads, distributor and mild performance cams. The exhaust was replaced with a "glass pack" type single exhaust, but still provides heat. Dual carburetors were installed at the time of rebuild, previously it ran a single 2-barrel carburetor.

I also added a fan to the heater tube, so this bus will actually get warm inside when its cold outside.

RUST: A vehicle of this age does have some rust, though I think overall, this bus is above average. The floor of the bus was treated for rust, sprayed with rust preventative primer then rattle can painted a beige. There are spots (~1/4 inch) of rust here and there on the body, but no visible signs of serious rot.

The stock upholstery/mattress has been recovered with fresh vinyl. Replaced the standard front seats with "coach" seats from a newer bus (arm rests!). Also renewed door panels with automotive carpeting. The upper single sleeping bunk is in place but I've never used it.

The vehicle comes with extras: 4 tires/wheels that were gifted to me. The original sink and cabinet. Three owner's manuals. All take off parts from engine rebuild, all stockpiled new parts. Numerous gaskets for valve covers and oil changes. The bus currently has new hippie curtains and also has the original set included, along with screens and front bunk.

Vehicle is being sold "as is" with no warranties expressed or implied. A deposit of $500.00 is due within 24 hours of auction close via pay pal. Remaining balance is due within 7 days of auction close. Buyer is responsible for pick up or shipping. Vehicle will not be picked up or ship until all funds have cleared. no trades, no games.no fake checks,no B.S. I will try to answer ? each day.

They don't make em' like this anymore. Enjoy camping and 20 mpg at the same time,

just don't be in a hurry.

Recharge Wrap-up: Arcimoto SRK video, BAIC EV at CES

Tue, Jan 12 2016

Kelley Blue Book took a spin in the Arcimoto SRK three-wheeled EV at CES in Las Vegas. In the video above, KBB Managing Editor Micah Muzio gets behind the handlebars for a spin around an empty parking lot. He notes a gradual throttle tip-in, though from the video, it appears the trike has a bit of pep. While the hydraulic brake pedal requires a bit of extra effort, the regenerative brake lever located on the right handlebar is effective and easy to use. The steering is a little heavy, but manageable, at low speeds. He calls it "kind of a fun little conveyance," adding, "Maybe this is the future." See the full review in the video above. CARB Chairman Mary Nichols spoke with German television about Volkswagen's emissions scandal. In a photo she posted on Twitter, Nichols can be seen in front of cameras with CARB's test bay in the background. In the bay is a Volkswagen Jetta TDI. She says in her tweet, "Discussing VW cheating case w/German TV in front of ARB lab test bay & '07 diesel Jetta. Time to move on to #EVs!" Late last year, a group of environmentalists and Silicon Valley leaders – Elon Musk included Â– sent Nichols an open letter suggesting CARB help urge Volkswagen to give up on diesels and focus on electric vehicles. See Nichols's post on Twitter. South Korea's most popular EV is the Renault Samsung Motors (RSM) SM3 ZE (also known as the Renault Fluence ZE). The all-electric vehicle has sold 1,767 units since its arrival in Korea since November 2013, with 2015 sales reaching 1,043 units. This makes one in three EVs in Korea a RSM SM3 ZE. The car has been selected as Korea's official government vehicle, and RSM has supplied over 100 EV taxis, 60 of which are in Seoul. Read more in the press release from Renault. BAIC EV announced it has established an R&D center in Detroit at CES. It will work with its other centers in Silicon Valley and Aachen, Germany in order to develop automotive technology and evaluate global demand. The EV branch of the Chinese automaker also debuted its i-Link information system, which uses 4G to connect car telematics to the cloud. The i-Link system also provides wireless phone charging, remote inquiry services and connects sensing technologies to the internet. Read more in the press release below.

Mon, 22 Apr 2013

Meet Brad, Sheena and Nacho
Driving through China is a pricey proposition. The couple will need to pony up a staggering $19,514 just to cover the fees.
Brad and Sheena Van Orden are in the midst of a life-defining campaign to travel around the world, and they're doing it in a 1984 Volkswagen Vanagon custom built for the occasion. The past 15 months have seen the couple quit their jobs with Gore-Tex and drive from Arizona to the very southern tip of Argentina after spending a full two years saving and preparing for the trek. Now they're in southern Asia gearing up for the next leg of their journey.
