1972 Volkswagen Kombi Camper Van on 2040-cars
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States
You are
bidding on a 1972 Volkswagen Type 23 Kombi camper van, with 64k miles. This van
is outfitted with a custom interior, designed around the Westfalia style camper
set up, along with many other upgrades. The headliner, front seat upholstery,
and interior panels are TMI brand, VW reproduction in gray. The rear seat and
bed cushions are custom made with a very good color match. The cabinets are
made from high end marine grade plywood, finished in its natural color. The
double burner propane stove is mounted above the ice chest. To gain access to
the ice chest you step on the foot peddle and a hydraulic system raises the
stove. (See photos) To lower the stove you press the foot peddle and push the
stove down. The stove can also be removed and placed on a folding stand
(included) to cook outside (see photos). Heat is provided by a Mr. Heater
portable radiant heater witch can also be removed to be used outside. The small
portable toilet located below the heater can also be removed and placed in a more
"privet" area of your campsite. The back seat and fold out bed can be
lowered into the bed configuration or locked back into a seat very easily and
only takes a few seconds. Underneath the rear seat / bed is more storage (see
photos). Alongside the bed on the
driver’s side are two more cabinets with plenty of room for storage. Above the
bed, (see photos), is a storage shelf for bedding and curtains. Two complete
set of curtains are included. The red plaid set shown in the photos, along with
a gray set. Next to the stove is a small sink with soap dispenser, and a hand
pump water faucet. Fresh water and gray water connection are located outside
just behind the driver’s side door. Fresh water is supplied by a MSR bladder
connected by a hose. I would lay the bladder underneath the bus to keep it in
the shade. Gray water is directed away from bus by a garden hose. Underneath
the sink is more storage space with the included red plates, bowls, cups, and
cookware. (See photo) A Panasonic #CQ-VAD9300U radio/TV/CD players is tucked in
the stock hole for the radio. On top of the bus is a Wingard brand retractable
antenna. I have also installed a digital to analogue converter so the TV
stations will work. The rest of the dash is all stock and in good condition.
Also mounted above the sliding door is a Shadyboy brand fold out awning (See
Photos). The engine is a 2 liter 914 with
single carb and 009 distributor. The engine was rebuilt completely less than
1000 miles ago, and runs and drives great. The transmission was rebuilt approximately
4000 miles ago. A second RV deep cycle battery with a disconnect is installed
in the engine compartment with a battery charger for long weekends. Next to the
stove is a small inverter to power small electronics and charge your phone. All
of the door and compartment seals have been replaced with new seals. The front
windshield was also replaced with a brand new unit. The body is in good
condition. Some body work was performed on the front of the bus before I
purchased it and is behind the Spare tire. The frame was under coated at one
point and has prevented any undercarriage rust. The frame and body works has
close to no rust. Some of the undercoat
has come off in the wheel wells and exposed the frame paint (see photo). The
sliding door lower slide is in great condition with no rust and the door slides
smooth. The bus was repainted at one point most likely in the 80’s. The paint
and rest of the body has some small scratches and nicks and such, but all in
all, it's in good condition. The louvered windows work but are in need of some
new seals. The lock is missing from the external handle on the passenger door,
but all the other locks work. This is a great little camper bus. It has been stored inside for last 10 years,
and has not been used it, so it’s time for it to go to a new home. The tires,
shocks, drive shafts, CV joints, brakes, tie rods, and exhaust were all
replaced with new components about 10 years ago, and only have about 4000 miles
on them. Buyer is responsible for any and all shipping costs. Payment through PayPal only. Email with any questions. (questions will be answered during Tuesday-Friday 11am-6pm, and Saturday 11am-4pm -central standard time) |

Prop-driven VW Beetle hopes to land in Bonneville [w/video]
Thu, 10 Jan 2013Sometimes you meet folks who, when they tell you "Hey, I have an idea," your reflex response is to stop what you're doing and tell yourself, "Get ready...." We imagine Mike Niemans is one of those folks, and the idea in question is putting a tank engine on a Type 1 Volkswagen Beetle. Not just any old tank engine - as if there were such a thing when we're talking about putting them in cars - but a 668-cubic-inch, 220-horsepower radial engine built by Continental in 1941 and procured from an M2 tank.
In the image above Nieman is using the tank clutch hub to get the motor set up, but in one of the images below you can see what really belongs back there is: a two-inch, reverse-pitch prop taken from a wind generator. He says there's enough mojo with the propeller action to get the car rolling down the runway like a jet when he gives it gas - and speaking of gas, the engine's been refitted to run on propane.
After a few safety tweaks Nieman's going to take the matte-black Beetle to Bonneville, "put the prop on, let her go and see what happens!" We can't wait to see the video of that. There are two shakedown videos below to get you ready.
2015 VW Golf R caught getting a flogging on 'Ring
Wed, 22 May 2013The upcoming version of the Volkswagen Golf R is nearly ready for prime time, if this video of the car flying around the Nürburgring is any indication. The all-wheel-drive R seems to make quick, neat work of the corners we see here, and sounds pretty devilish in the process.
Expectations are that the new Golf R will run a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (what else?), tuned to produce even more than the current car's 256 horsepower. (Some sources have indicated outputs as high as 286 horsepower, with 280 pound-feet of torque. It's still not clear if Volkswagen will bring the six-speed dual-clutch transmission to the US-spec Golf R in this next go-round or if we'll stick to having only... eh... the stick.
In either case - watching the video below will only whet your appetite for the new, highest performing member of the Golf family.
Volkswagen E-Co-Motion Concept brings electric mobility to the commercial set
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Volkswagen sees a future where the bulk of the world's freight is moved into city centers by train, then offloaded onto a fleet of smaller, light-duty commercial vehicles for final delivery. Those vehicles could wind up looking something like the company's E-Co-Motion Concept that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The EV features a modular underfloor drive unit comprised of a battery, motor and gearbox that can be paired with any number of cab and body configurations to suit a buyer's needs, from a refrigerated box to a standard flat bed.
The E-Co-Motion Concept features a rear-mounted electric motor with 113 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. A standard 20 kWh battery pack provides a driving range of up to 62 miles, while 30 kWh and 40 kWh packs could deliver 93 and 124 miles of travel, respectively. Check out the press release below for more information.
