1976 Volkswagen Vw Westfalia Camper Van Bus on 2040-cars
Topeka, Kansas, United States
|
No reserve. You are bidding on a 1976 VW Camper Van that runs but is in need of some restoration. There is rust along the lower part of the van, in the battery area and around the front window. There are places where the paint is chipped and the gas gauge does not work. The original color was mustard yellow. The engine is a 2000cc Porsche engine. It has a muffler exhaust assembly that I purchased from JC Whitney several years ago; it is loud but could be replaced. This could be a nice camper van for the right person who knows how to fix rust. I purchased it new in 1976 in Europe where my wife and I traveled 16,000 miles in this camper as we played hooky from work for 6 months. We have been the sole owners and have saved all maintenance records. I have uploaded several high resolution photos and a HD video that give an accurate description of its condition. It comes with a folding table, stool and a kiddie cot that goes above the drivers area. While the van runs, I would not trust it to be driven any significant distance until repairs are completed. This is mostly due to the rust in the battery area as the battery is currently sitting on a board. So, unless this is a local purchase it should be shipped to its destination. Buyer is responsible for transportation. If you have any questions please ask. You can also schedule a time to see the van in person before the auction ends.

Editors' Choice: Top Five 2013 Geneva Motor Show Debuts
Fri, 08 Mar 2013We've returned from a very busy week in Switzerland, and in going back over all of our 75 stories from the Geneva Motor Show, our editors have gathered up their personal favorite debuts from the European expo.
The wonderful thing about the Geneva show is just how wide of an array of vehicles are on display - everything from funny little one-off EVs to the most exotic of supercars to, well, truly ridiculous displays of coachbuilding. And because of that, this list of our editors' favorites might not be as predictable as you think.
But we don't want to give anything away just yet. Scroll down to have a look at our team's favorites from Geneva.
VW looking to MAN up, ditch Mercedes van deal
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Unlike the US, the commercial truck market throughout the rest of the world is chocked full of competitors from many different automakers. Since 2006, Volkswagen has had a fullsize van called the Crafter that was a result of a partnership with Daimler AG and based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This partnership is supposed to last through 2016, but Reuters is reporting that VW might be looking to end its relationship with Daimler and create its own van in cooperation with German truck and bus maker MAN.
The article says that VW AG has more than a 75-percent stake in MAN, which would essentially be keeping the new commercial vehicle in-house. Even if VW bolts, Daimler still has a deal worked out in the commercial truck industry between its subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso and Renault-Nissan to supply the other with different trucks.
Volkswagen shows off performance-ish Passat concept
Mon, 14 Jan 2013As part of its 2013 Detroit Auto Show debut package, Volkswagen has rolled out a sportier version of the Passat sedan, though it's strictly conceptual for now. A small dose of go-fast visuals have been added to the handsome Volkswagen, including 19-inch wheels, carbon-capped mirrors, an advanced front lighting system, LED taillamps and dual exhaust. Some carbon bits and upgraded leather are found inside the cabin, as well.
But the real performance chops come in the form of a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that sends 250 horsepower to the Passat's front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission. That's a good boost in power over the 170 hp of the base 2.5-liter inline-five, but not quite as potent as the 3.6-liter VR6. A lowered sport suspension and revised electronic steering are also on hand, making things slightly more involving out on the road... we assume.
It's not quite the performance concept we were hoping for, but a more enthusiastic Passat isn't necessarily a bad thing. Scroll down for the press release.
