1971 VW Westfalia Campmobile for sale. Very solid bus underneath, no rust in the engine bay, battery compartment, footwells, or any other of the usual places. I'd say it's a very strong #3 or a #2.5 according to the Samba condition chart. I've tried to keep it as original as possible since it is only original once, but it would make a great full on restoration candidate or use it as a daily driver as is like I have been.

The interior sports the original burnt orange cushions. The bench cushions are in great shape and the rear cushion is about average with some marks on the underside from sitting in a barn for years, but still in very usable condition. The original picnic stool is also included. All the curtain rods are there, and I have the front curtain and the back right curtain, but the others are missing. The wood ceiling is in great shape.

The original cot is clean and installed, and I have the pop top canvas in yellow/orange but it is not installed at this time, just in case somebody would rather have a gray pop top, you can exchange this one. If you want the yellow top I'd be happy to install it for you. All the pop top seals are new.

The white paint is sort of two shades of off-white and is satisfactory for a daily driver, but you will want to respray her and replace all the seals while you are doing it if you want to do a full on restoration.

The engine and clutch are recently rebuilt. New parts also include rear half shafts (axles), new disc brake rotors, pads and calipers up front, new brake drums and pads in back. Also new KYB gas shocks all around, new Hankook tires (the best for buses), steering damper, tie rods, and lots of little plastic parts. The original Sapphire AM/FM radio plays through a singe dash speaker just like the old days. It actually sounds really good, believe it or not.

I've put what I think are cool Hawaiian seatcovers on the front seats for now. These actually did come from Hawaii, not China and are very comfortable.

It runs great with the new engine and brand new Pertronix Flamethrower electronic ignition/distributor, and I will include the old (still quite new) 009 distributor setup as well if you want to go back to points.

There is a little crunch in the body behind the right rear wheel from when a tire blew out, I will get a picture of it up.

Please email any questions. Thanks for looking and have a great day.

2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD is our favorite oil-burning GTI

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

The 2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD has officially bowed at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Engineers managed to squeeze an additional 14 horsepower and 22 pound-feet of torque out of the familiar 2.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engine, nudging total output to 184 hp and 280 lb-ft for 2014. The figures are good enough to earn the GTD the honor of being the most powerful diesel Golf in Volkswagen history. A start/stop system helps improve efficiency over the previous generation with the new model consuming 56 miles per gallon on the EU cycle. That's up from the 2013 model's 46 mpg. A six-speed manual transmission is standard equipment, though a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox is also available.
The GTD also offers buyers a few aesthetic tweaks to help separate the hatch from its less potent siblings. Those include a more aggressive front fascia, special badges and 17-inch alloy wheels. Expect to find the GTD in one of three exterior colors, including Tornado Red, Black and Pure White. Check out the quick press release below for more details.

Volkswagen Golf Wagon leaked ahead of official unveiling

Sat, 02 Mar 2013

Wagons 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.

2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

The Golf VI's Last Hurrah Is Pure Niche
This was in the heart of the ultra-chic Côte d'Azur during winter. The car to be tested was the not-for-North America 2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet. Prevailing weather conditions here this time of year are bizarrely pleasant, as though a dome of Swarovski crystal has been placed over the entire region to protect it from any real winter spoiling things. And the zippy Golf R Cabriolet is a sports car designed precisely for this area's preciously narrow winding streets, as well as for the lofty budgets of its property owners.
So then why was it snowing like we were in northern Michigan? The weather front hit from the north like a swift kick to the Jordaches. The roof was open on this Candy White Golf R Cabrio and I, as is my wont, was determined through thick or thin to keep it retracted. It had been raining and sometimes sleeting like the End of Days, but I kept the lid cracked because the 261-horsepower cabrio - the most powerful convertible ever built by Volkswagen - was snipping along nicely as the bad weather blew over my head and wetted only the rear headrests.
