Hello. You are looking at neat old blast from the past. 1978 Volkswagen Westfalia camper bus van. It has the 1800 CC engine and manual transmission. It starts, runs and drives. The engine was said to have been rebuilt less than 250 miles ago, but could use some carb work and tuning from sitting. The brakes are fairly new, but could use some adjustment on the front. The van has some rust along the edges as you can see, but the underside is very solid. Tires are really good. It has the top that pops up with the canvas. The canvas is good overall but does have a couple tears that need to be fixed. Its full out camper optioned out. With some going over, and freshing up, this would make a good traveler vehicle. The milage shows 15,000 but who knows if its rolled over or not.
If you have any questions, please call Mike at 989-672-0896. I am just listing this for him. The van is located between Caro and Cass City Michigan in the Thumb area about 2 hours north of Detroit. $500 deposit due upon purchase, and balance due within 7 days of auction end. Mike will deliver within 100 miles of Caro Mi. for free, anything over that, and its buyers responsibility to arrange transportation. As for storage, Call Mike at the number above to make arrangements. please do not wait until auction end to ask questions. You are welcome to setup the time with the owner to inspect the vehicle. You are buying a used vehicle as-is with no warranties. Thanks for looking. Please see my other auctions. God Bless. |

Volkswagen and Funny or Die take humorous spin in 2015 Golf
Wed, 10 Sep 2014Volkswagen 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.
Bentley considering diesel engine for new SUV
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Turns out, in case you didn't know, the rich are just like regular people. They too are concerned about the environment, even when tooling around town in their super-luxurious Bentleys. So the automaker is weighing the idea of offering a diesel engine in its SUV offering, which could help satisfy customers' demands for more fuel-efficient engines.
Chairman and CEO Wolfgang Schreiber told Autoblog in a roundtable interview at the Geneva Auto Show that the automaker is researching whether or not a diesel engine makes sense for the brand. Bentley, owned by the Volkswagen Group, could in theory use a diesel engine from anywhere in the Volkswagen Group family. We at Autoblog have hopes they'll revive the V10 TDI used in the VW Touareg until 2010, but ever-stricter emissions laws would likely make that problematic.
But rich people aren't so much like us that they'll be worried about petty things like pricing. Schreiber admitted the diesel engine could be a $15,000 option, which he said customers would probably find "acceptable." Given that the cheapest Bentley today starts at $177,000, typical customers probably won't be diddling around worrying about an extra 15 grand.
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.
