This is an awesome camper van and I hate to sell it but I need to free up some storage space. It's a fantastic example of an original, classic Volkswagen camper and it's becoming very hard to find one in this condition that hasn't been completely restored. Their are a few blemishes here and there but they give it character. The odometer shows 80k miles and although I don't have any documentation to support it, I believe it's genuine. The bus is just too nice to 180k. The bus runs and drive great and doesn't have any clucks or rattles that you would associate with an old car. It has the original 1800 cc engine, 4 speed manual transmission and both work great. The interior is in very good shape as well and you have to love that funky '70's plaid upholstery. I will do my best to describe my bus accurately and honestly for you.

The bus was built on Wednesday, April 3rd, 1974 and painted L90D Pastel White It still wears almost all of it's original paint and I don't think it's ever been in an accident. It still shines like a new car. There nose has typical rock chips and the paint is worn under the spare tire. There is small dent on the right front door by the reflector but that's about the worst of it. It looks like the right rear corner was repainted at some point in the past as well and there are two small holes drilled in each rear quarter panel, possibly for some kind of door guard. There is also a tiny dent in the tailgate and some scuff marks on the sliding door. I had the fiberglass top repainted when I bought it because the gel coat was staring to fail. I've looked it over from top to bottom and the only real rust that I've found is a couple small holes under the battery, which is pretty typical and would be an easy fix.

The interior is in great shape and nearly all original as well. It has green door cards, green carpet and of course, that crazy blue and green plaid seat upholstery. I had the front seat padding replaced because it was in sad shape but everything else is as new. There is a hole about the size of a quarter in the rear seat bottom. It has a period aftermarket am/fm stereo which works well. The sink, icebox and dining table are all there. the pop top works smoothly and the canvas is in pretty good shape. the zipper on the front window needs to be re-sewed but other than that it's ready for some camping!

It still has the original 1800cc dual carb type four engine, which is completely stock. It looks like the muffler has been replaced sometime in the past. It recently had an oil change, tune up, valve adjustment and new engine compartment seal put in. it runs like a champ and is ready for some road trips. The tires have plenty of tread and the brakes work well too. It comes with four original VW keys and two keys for the locking gas cap as well as the owners manual.

This is a beautiful classic Westaflia camper and it's to take it's next owner on some great adventures. if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. you will have to figure out the shipping but I will be happy to assist with transport in the Denver area. Thanks for looking!

Are more diesel scandals about to erupt?

Fri, Nov 20 2015

More automakers may soon be embroiled, like Volkswagen, in diesel emissions scandals. According to the Daily Kanban, either the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) or the Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH) will soon announce from 10 to 15 more cases of automakers cheating national diesel emissions rules. The outlet says three of the incidents are attributed to Opel. Studies conducted by the DUH, the University of Applied Sciences in Bern, Switzerland, and the UK's Leeds University found that Opel's diesel Zafira, Corsa, and Vectra models emit more NOx than European regulations allow when tested in ways that go beyond the European testing protocol, such as when done on a four-wheel rolling road instead of a two-wheel rolling road. Opel said the accusations had no merit. Specifically on the Zafira, the DUH asked Opel about the emissions findings, and Opel said that no General Motors software contains any measures to enable cheating. Opel then tested a Zafira of its own "both on a two- and a four-wheel roller dynamometer," finding that "The emission behavior determined in each case does not differ from one another." That makes this a case of he-said-she-said for the moment. The Daily Kanban's sources say the cheating methods "range from the crude to the highly sophisticated," with those at the latter end complex enough to render Volkswagen's methods "pedestrian." As for any automakers who might be named, the matter of real-world emissions exceeding a legal limit doesn't mean a carmaker has designed systems that cheat, it might mean the company designed the car to pass a test.

Volkswagen and Funny or Die take humorous spin in 2015 Golf

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

Volkswagen is partnering with Target and Funny or Die in a bizarre ad for the latest Golf starring comedian Rob Huebel, probably best known for his work on Childrens Hospital on Adult Swim.
The commercial is titled The Way Too Helpful Neighbor and stars Huebel as the eponymous neighbor. The challenge is for Huebel to help improve his buddy's apartment before the guy meets his girlfriend's parents for the first time. The obvious way to do that is to slide a new Golf through an actual Target in Texas, while simultaneously showcasing the store's goods and the car's features.
The commercial is airing online now and on TBS during breaks in Conan O'Brien's show, with sneak peaks during other programs on the network. Auto advertising is becoming pretty normal for Funny or Die at this point, though, with the site previously partnering with Fiat for several videos. Check out the ad above and see if you think it works. Scroll down for VW's announcement.

Volkswagen Golf R wagon promises to be fast and functional [w/poll]

Tue, 25 Mar 2014

Volkswagen's array of performance-oriented Golfs keeps getting bigger and bigger. What started with the GTI has since grown to include the diesel GTD, the hybrid GTE and the most powerful Golf R. But the additions haven't all come down to powertain. There's been cabrio versions of the GTI and Golf R as well, but before all is said and done, there will be one more bodystyle to join the lineup.
That, according to these latest spy shots, would be the Golf R Variant. For those unfamiliar, Variant is what Volkswagen calls the wagon version of the Golf (in some markets, anyway). It offers the Golf Variant with a variety of engines, but as the spy shots reveal, it is now working on bringing the Golf Variant and the Golf R together into one high-powered, long-roofed model.
The VW Golf R Variant would in all likelihood pack the same 2.0-liter turbo four as the hatchback, splitting 290 horsepower between all four wheels. Only in the wagon, it would offer that extra bit of utility. Of course there's no guarantee that Volkswagen would offer the Golf R Variant in the North American market, but considering that the Golf R hatchback will soon be joined in American showrooms by the Golf SpotWagen (as it's tipped to be called here) in place for the Jetta wagon, the possibility is definitely there.
