1973 Westfalia. Rare automatic transmission. Rebuilt motor and transmission. Rebuilt dual carbs. New paint, 3 window pop top canvas, windshield and window gasket. Newer rear seat upholstery. New carpet. Sand blasted and repainted rims and bumpers. this van sat in a barn for over 10 years. The van runs and drives great. This van is a pleasure to drive with the automatic transmission. The interior is in good condition. I treated the whole front floor with POR to protect it from future rust.

Engine and Transmission- Very low miles on rebuilt motor by professional V.W. mechanic. Converted to dual carbs for performance and reliability. The transmission has been rebuilt at some point. Fresh tune up. The transmission shifts effortlessly and is a pleasure to drive.

Paint and Body- The van has a brand new paint job. New windshield and gasket. All door and body gaps are perfect. Very strait, dry bus.

Interior- Newer rear seat and jump seat upholstery. Cabinets all in excellent condition. I ran the new carpet under the ice box so when removed the carpet looks nice. Original birch wood headliner is in perfect condition. The van came with some nice sheep skin seat covers which I installed over the worn original seats. New birch wood front door panels and kick panels. Dash lights, camping light and dome lights all work perfectly.

Pop Top- Brand new 3 window pop top canvas. I had the original fiberglass top professionally cleaned.

Other- Truck rated tires, rare 1973 dealer plate frames. New front brakes, gas shocks, new battery, new tail light lenses and housings, new fuel sender, child's cot and bug screen included, front window curtain. I have a box of extra parts that go with this bus.

This is a very nice van that can be used as a reliable daily driver. The automatic transmission is a definite plus and can be driven by any one. I personally love the automatic transmission as I feel it utilizes the horse power of the motor more efficiently than a standard manual transmission. This is a very clean, nice bus that can be used to take to your local VW show on the week ends or go on your camping adventures.


**** I can have this bus shipped to your front door at whole sale cost
I also can ship world wide

Volkswagen shows off performance-ish Passat concept

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

As 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.

VW Super Bowl teaser with Jimmy Cliff is like a less-mean Tosh.0 Web Redemption

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Reggae super-duper-star and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jimmy Cliff has been using music to send positive vibes out into the universe for decades now, so its no surprise that his message on behalf of Volkswagen is one of redemption.
Dubbed Sunny Side, this web-spot is VW's warmup of sorts for what promises to be another blockbuster year in the world of Super Bowl commercials. Without giving away the game, the euphonious commercial sees Cliff opening his arms and his heart to some YouTube 'celebrities' that might see courser treatment from the likes of Tosh.0, for instance. We can't help but be reminded of Coca-Cola's legendary 1971 Hilltop spot with the "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" lyric, too.
Enjoy the pre-Super Bowl VW spot below, and don't forget to pay it forward... your karma will thank you. For those of you that just can't get enough of commercial-making magic, we've included a "making-of" video, as well.

Honda wins Commercial of the Decade, but not for the ad you think [w/VIDEO]

Honda's Commercial of the Decade: "Grrr" - Click above to watch video
The mad men at Adweek recently voted for the Commercial of the Decade (Super Bowl commercials not included) and Honda took top honors over memorable ads from the last ten years by companies like Nike, Budweiser and Sony. That's not a big surprise considering Honda often puts a huge amount of effort into its on-air spots. However, the Japanese automaker didn't win for the commercial you might have expected: "Cog." Though Honda's famous commercial that breaks down a European Accord Tourer into a Rube Goldberg-esque machine was also a finalist, it was beaten by another Honda commercial called "Grrr" that's narrated by Garrison Keillor of all people. You've probably never seen it, but you can after the jump.
Volkswagen also made the list of finalists, but the particular ad chosen out of all the comical VW ads we've seen was unexpected as well. Most surprising carmaker with a commercial in the finals: Saturn. Who knew...
