1976 Volkswagon Westfalia Camper Bus / Transporter on 2040-cars
Oceanside, California, United States
|
My wife
and I are selling our 1976 VW Camper Bus after owning it for almost 4
years. We are not
the original owners and it has had at least two other owners before us
that we know of. We purchased it off a graduating college student who
was selling it after he graduated. The previous owner
took meticulous care of the bus and traveled all over Central and
South America. This bus has been to the tip of South America! I drive it daily,
mostly to the beach to surf or to the office. It has no current mechanical
issues and is running great. I do not have records as to the last time
the engine or transmission was rebuilt. I do have three crates
of new spare parts that the previous owner gave me. I also have extra
"original" interior fabric, an exterior "vintage" awning
and (3) boxes or misc. new and used parts that comes with it. In the four years
that I have owned it, I have changed the
alternator, regularly changed the oil and get tune ups before road
trips. We take it to a local VW mechanic. The interior is in really good shape
for the age, with most original fabric and features in tacked. The (2) front seat are custom and very comfortable,
they were design for long trips. The speedometer just stopped working. It
has an older cassette radio that I believe has a short because it
works on and off. I was planning on
replacing it with a simple $100 type CD player. It is all wired up with a nice
speaker system. I also has the secondary battery to run lights, interior
fans and the previous owner rigged up a transformer so you can get
210 power to plug in appliances and charge your cell phone. It has a
nearly new stove with the exterior hook ups and the stove gas system works
great. It is starting to get some exterior rust bubbles and spots that
should be dealt with eventually. The pop up camper canvas is in good
shape. Just a great daily driver - ready for trips - not a project but would
not take much to do a full restoration. Call or email with any questions. Chris (760)
990-3499. Buyer to pick up locally or cover all shipping cost. I do have
it also listed on our local San Diego Craigslist for $9.700.00 and so I used
the “buy it now” EBay option so the $9,700.00 price is a first come first serve
option. If it doesn’t sell for the
$9,700.oo first I will let the auction runs its course. |

TN politicians may push to end VW incentives if plant goes union
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Volkswagen's Chattanooga Assembly Plant is scheduled to vote on whether to unionize in the coming days, but Tennessee state lawmakers are threatening to deny future tax subsidies to the factory, if the vote is successful. The factory is currently the only Volkswagen plant worldwide that is not unionized.
The states's Republican lawmakers have been particularly vocal against the union vote. Tennessee state senator Bo Watson said during a press conference that VW would have a "very tough time" with future incentives if the vote were successful, according to Automotive News. Tennessee House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick said the "heavy hand" of the UAW is not welcome there. VW has drawn criticism from both sides because it has allowed both pro- and anti-union groups to speak to workers and hand out leaflets.
Roughly 1,500 factory employees will vote on whether to unionize from February 12-14. If successful, the Chattanooga factory would be the first in the US organized under a German-style works council system where white- and blue-collar workers directly negotiate factory issues with the company's management.
Former Porsche CEO Wiedeking indicted over VW takeover bid
Thu, 20 Dec 2012Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."
2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid
Tue, 12 Feb 2013More Fun Than A Prius, Less Sensible Than A TDI
Let's have some fun, and do some math. We're talking pretty rudimentary stuff, multiplication and division, to figure out if the upcoming Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid can make a baseline case for itself against two very strong competitors in this segment. The competitors in question, at least for now, are two more Jettas: the diesel-drinking TDI and the fit-for-the-masses SE with VW's long-serving 2.5-liter engine.
To keep the equations clean and simple (hey, we're writers), we'll calculate based on the most flattering EPA miles per gallon stat from highway driving for all cars, assume a healthy 20,000 miles driven per year, and factor in today's average cost for the respective fuels these three require: diesel (TDI), regular (SE) and premium (Hybrid). We'll also start with the base prices for all models.
