The carpets and interior are all original and have some wear consistent with a 36 year old vehicle. The frame is solid and in great shape."

Up for auction is my 1977 Volkswagen Westfalia camper, affectionately known as "Yoda", in the family. This camper was originally sold at Triangle VW, in Durham, North Carolina, on August 20th, 1977. With the sale comes the original warranty book (got a little wet, so condition is fair), owners manual in great condition, stove operating instructions, and the original window sticker. The one thing I will say about this fun vehicle, is that it is complete. It comes with the original box that sits between the two front seats, the original drivers table that attaches to the dash, the original childs cot that goes between the two front seats, the back dining table, mosquito net for the back hatch, all of the curtains including the front bay window and side curtains, stove w/ associated external propane undermount tank, light duty trailer hitch for your kayak or canoe trailer (w/light harness), refrigerator, and sink, and lastly the complete factory tent that attaches to the camper. The tent is complete and in great condition and 100% complete w/ no tears, no fade, no broken clips (did not see much use in it's life).

I have had this camper for a little over a year, and have clocked about 5,000 miles during last summer and this spring. I have not driven it during the winter, and it was stored in a heated garage. This is an Eastern camper, with the first part of it's life in North Carolina area. The camper had the body blasted and repainted in 2005. At that time there was some bubbling in the front doglegs that was repaired and the battery area had new trays welded in. The dogleg repair has some cracking that has returned (see pic as it is not bad, but there). The rest of the body is quite solid and all doors and hatches as well. The bottom of the body where the panels come together looks great all around. The front floor has no issues. The roof and rain gutters are in great shape as well. When the body was painted all the window rubber was replaced, as well as the front windshield. The side louver window screens were replaced this spring. The rims were blasted and powder coated this spring and look great. The tires have approx 65% of tread life left.

The interior is all original. The seats and mounted curtains have some fade on the exterior facing side due to age. The front curtain is unfaded and perfect. The driver seat has wear on the bolster and sitting surface, and would need to be replaced to be perfect. I am including approx 2 yards of original plaid fabric with the sale that I was going to use, but ran out of time. Or you can go on-line and buy new covers (Bus Boys). The carpet is all original and has held up well, but has some wear under the driver, and a little fade in the back area. The cabinets are all original and look good. There are a couple of chips in the wood grain cover material and maybe a little fade (see pics). The door panels are original, and are in good condition, the passenger side has a little wavey by the vent. The pop-up top is in good condition, and has one small cut about 1 inch long (see pic for red tape over cut). The pop top itself was recoated in 2005 when the rest of the bus was completed. I also installed a new stereo (Vintage look) with I-Pod adapter and 4 new Kenwood speakers, this spring. Please review the pictures, I am being a bit picky, but I want the new owner to be satisfied and truly enjoy "Yoda".

The engine was replaced with a fully rebuilt hydraulic lifter motor. It has less than 15,000 miles on it and runs great. Starts up with no issue. No smoke on start up, even after sitting. I run down the highway at 55-60 mph with no issue,...and no worries. The motor still retains it's original fuel injection, and has not given me any issues. I just got back from an 800 mile camping trip, and smiled the whole way. I use premium full, and get approx 20-21 mpg fully loaded.

Brakes work fine with no issue, can be a little squeaky at times, I believe from sitting. This is not intended to be my daily driver. The hardware (rotors/drum/pads) were fully replaced approx 6000 miles ago.

All lights (interior and exterior) and wipers work fine with no issue.

Here is a list of items that have been done:

Alternator less than 4000 miles ago

Battery (Interstate) replaced last spring

New Stereo w/ 4 new Kenwood speakers this spring

Oil change and Filter (Mahle) 1000 miles ago

New spark plugs, cap, ignition rotor, air filter 1000 miles ago

New exhaust 6,000 miles ago

New Rotors, Pads and Drums 6,000 miles ago

New right CV joint 6,000 miles ago

New Front shocks 10,000 miles ago

This is a great camper, and in very good condition for a 36 year old car. Please review the pictures and ask if you want any additional pictures to help make your decision. This is not a rotisserie restoration garage queen, but rather a loved, well taken care of, and complete vehicle that will bring a smile to your face, and all those that pass by waving and giving a thumbs up. I would not hesitate to drive "Yoda" to California tomorrow, that is how confident I am in the vehicle.

I love this camper, but I have other interests in life, and not enough time.

Please do not hesitate to ask any questions. Due to the age of my camper, I must sell it with no warranties or guaranties......, expressed, implied or otherwise. A $500 deposit is due at the end of the auction within 48 hours. Payment must be made in full before the camper is picked up. I can pick up the lucky winner at Milwaukee or OHare airports at no charge if needed. You can fly in and drive/camp your way home. If shipping the bus, I can assist with the pick-up, but all set-up and costs associated with shipping are the responsibility of the purchaser.

Good luck bidding on my "Yoda"

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.

Lamborghini and Bentley may hold off on SUVs so VW can conserve cash

Thu, 11 Oct 2012

After surveying the European economic scene, Volkswagen may have decided now is not the time to launch utility vehicles with Bentley and Lamborghini badges. Bentley officials say they will continue to push for support for the EXP 9 F and Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelman has said planning for the Urus will continue until VW tells it to stop.
That decision could come on November 23, when VW's board will vote on the company's budget for equipment, factories and vehicles. With VW's sales slowing and the Euro economy slumping further, some industry watchers say the company is more likely to build its cash reserves than to introduce super-expensive luxury SUVs or crossovers.
"Such vehicles are anything but obligatory during a crisis," says Frankfurt-based Equinet AG analyst Tim Schuldt in a new Automotive News Europe story. "Delaying their launch would be no drama but help save costs."

VW confirms development of 10-speed dual clutch, 134-hp/liter diesel

Fri, 26 Apr 2013

Each year, the Vienna International Motor Symposium showcases some of the up-and-coming technologies automakers are engineering for the use in passenger cars, and Volkswagen AG CEO Martin Winterkorn revealed some big developments VW is working on for its future products. Winterkorn discussed a multi-faceted approach that VW is looking to reduce its fleet fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
Some of the bigger news he discussed included a "high-performance" diesel engine that will produce 134 horsepower per liter and a 10-speed DSG automatic transmission. While no specific applications were mentioned, we can only hope this is for the Audi R4 we keep hearing about.
Another topic he touched on that caused us to perk up our ears was had to do with VW's plug-in hybrid technology. While we know the PHEV versions of the Audi A3 and Porsche Panamera are on the way, Winterkorn also said that these two models will be followed up by Golf, Passat, Audi A6 and Porsche Cayenne plug-in models. Scroll down for a press release highlighting the automaker's future fuel-saving initiatives.
