1982 Vw Westfalia Campmobile on 2040-cars
San Luis Obispo, California, United States
VIN: WV2ZA0251CH109555
This lovely 1982 VW Westfalia has been a joyous part of my life since January 2009. Before that a grandmother had it for camping with her grandkids, and used it for short distance leisure trips. She starts right up and runs beautifully! All work since I have been the owner has been done by Westy Werks in SLO. They are the great! There are some minor cosmetic dings/scratches, and the back right taillight cover needs to be replaced (easy to do yourself), but light works fine. The Mechanics: • 139,238 miles on a beautifully rebuilt engine (I do not know mileage from previous engine, but have received lots of compliments on the current one) • Smog tested within the year, and received exceptional idle and 2500 RPM emission test results • 4-speed manual • Brand new gas tank cap • Battery replaced 9/2012 • Newly replaced hinges for back hatch • Newly replaced ignition switch ($40), Bosch fuel pump ($235), Bosch fuel filter, & fuel injection hose • Registered until September 2014 Get Campin': • Sink, stove, and fridge in great condition and have all been recently tested ($95 inspection from Westy Werks) • Plastic plateware • Two tables • Captain's chairs (swivel mechanisms) • Two beds (one folds out of the backseat, the other is in the pop top) • Pop top canvas in great condition • Upholstery in great condition • Several storage cabinets and a closet • Complete curtain set, with additional privacy curtains when parked and camping Serious inquiries only. Thanks! |

Volkswagen looking to acquire Proton, Lotus?
Thu, 26 Jul 2012Let's say you're an automaker bent on world domination looking to grow your sales. That's going to have you looking at Asian markets, because that's where some of the biggest growth has been, and that's exactly what Volkswagen is doing as it considers making another run at Malaysia's Proton.
Reuters reports that Volkswagen is interested in at least a partial stake, if not a controlling interest in Lotus-parent Proton as a way to continue a production presence in the region without having to build its own factory.
Volkswagen already builds the Passat in a DRB-HICOM facility in Pekan, Malaysia, and plans are in place to build the Jetta and Polo there, as well. With both southeast Asia and its relationship with Proton figuring so importantly in Volkswagen's plans for expansion, buying into Proton can help ensure stability. Volkswagen is being tight-lipped about the whole idea, but CEO Martin Winterkorn did recently say, "it's our clear goal to continue the successful (expansion) course of past years with great dynamics and stability," which sounds an awful lot like deals are on the table to smooth the path to further growth.
VW Up Buggy may be headed to showrooms
Tue, 02 Jul 2013Volkswagen showed six conceptual takes on its Up at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, one of those being the Up Buggy. Although few will probably remember it, VW has not forgotten it, applying for a patent for the Meyers Manx revival roadster way back in March 2012 and being approved in June of this year, according to a report in Autocar. That will give the automaker a 14-year lock on the design while it decides whether to move forward with a reboot of its past.
A patent doesn't mean the Up Buggy will ever move beyond the sheet-of-paper stage, but Autocar says VW is studying the market to see if a production version is feasible. We can't see North America ever getting it, but even so, we wouldn't complain if they made it - especially if they put an exposed engine in back that was set off by 18-inch-long twin tailpipes jutting straight up into the air. However, for a company that aims to be the world's number-one automaker by 2018, a niche vehicle for its mass-market brand would be a surprising use of resources.
VW says it has sold over 100,000 TDI diesels in America this year
Thu, 26 Dec 2013Volkswagen Group of America has lit oil-burning fireworks to celebrate the sales of more than 100,000 TDI Clean Diesel vehicles in the US between its VW and Audi brands this year. According to VW, that means it is responsible for more than 75 percent of diesel-engined cars and SUVs sold here - perhaps not surprising when the two brands offer a total of 12 diesel models.
What might be surprising is that the number of diesels isn't far off the estimated sales of 90,000 battery electric vehicles and PHEVs, with 15,000 of those accounted for by the Tesla Model S, another 12,000 or so being the Toyota Prius PHEV.
VW's keen to play up the ease of making diesel part of your life, stressing that it doesn't need any change to the refueling infrastructure and that "this is a technology delivering real answers to society's concerns about fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions without compromises."
