 1969 Volkswagen Westfalia bus, walk thru, small pop top.  The bus has all the original Westfalia interior which is in great condition.  It is missing the ice box/ sink.  The Z-bed, jump seat and rear cushions have all new foam and were professionally reupholstered in very soft black "pleather."  They look terrific and have no rips or flaws.  The cargo floor area has no rust and was covered in bamboo flooring.  The bus has aftermarket curtains that are very heavy fabric, made for this bus so they fit excellent, and have a great pattern that ties into the colors of the bus.  The front seats were recovered with TMI covers and are also in excellent shape with no rips or flaws.  The front floors are solid with no rust through whatsoever.  The bus has a Pioneer CD/ MP3 player with four JL Audio speakers.

The bus has new 205/75/14 tires all around and the factory rims were repainted factory white.  New spare tire cover as well.

The bus was just repainted the original Volkswagen Montana Red PPG urethane paint on the exterior.  There is no rust on the bus and it has never been in a collision.  The interior is still the original paint.  The bus was originally all red, but is had been painted two tone at some point in it's life.  So I had the upper half repainted with VW white, when they painted the Montana Red.  The pop top was also painted at that time.  The red with the white really stands out.  The pop top has a new rubber seal.  All of the doors and rear hatch/ engine lid has new rubber.  The front and rear window also has new rubber.  The bus has new lenses and rubber around the lenses.  The pop top canvas is in excellent condition.  There is a dime sized tear in the canvas and the front screen has a rip.  However, the screen covers are perfect. 

The motor is a 1835cc with dual 44mm Brosol/ Solex carbs and has a header with single quiet pack muffler.  It was just tuned by a VW shop in Santa Cruz.  All of the cylinders have compression over 100.  The mileage for the bus shows 75,000, but it is unknown what the true mileage is.  The motor was in the bus when I bought it and the previous owner told me it had about 6000 miles on it.  I have put less than 500 miles on it since I have had it.  Transmission shifts very well and it does not pop out of any gears.  It still has the factory reduction boxes. 

The bus is currently registered and I have a clear California title in my name.

The bus is in great condition overall and is ready for the summer!  I mostly drive it to the beach on weekends and campout once in awhile and it always gets tons of attention!

2014 Volkswagen GTI to start a new hot hatch era in Geneva

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

The upcoming Geneva Motor Show is going to be stocked with important new production models and sexy concept cars, but hot hatch enthusiasts will undoubtedly see it as the coming out party of the MkVII Volkswagen GTI. And while we've only got European specifications and pricing to go on for now, we can tell from the get-go that the new GTI will be a proper heir to VW's hot hatch legacy.
This seventh-generation GTI is powered by a turbocharged, direct-injection 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which makes 220 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque in base form. For the first time ever, Volkswagen is also offering a performance pack for the GTI as well, which ups the horsepower to 230 (torque remains unchanged). With a slightly lower curb weight to push around - the new base car weighs 2,978 pounds versus 3,034 for the current three-door GTI - 0-62 miles per hour is now achieved in 6.5 seconds, and top speed is 153 mph. (Cars with the performance pack offer 0-62 mph in 6.4 seconds, and a 155-mph top speed.) Buyers my choose between a six-speed manual transmission or an optional six-speed DSG unit.
Visually, the new GTI has obviously adopted the slant-nosed looks of the MkVII Golf, though with plenty of added drama. The exterior is dominated by the 17-inch "Brooklyn" wheels wearing 225-section rubber, and the aggressive front fascia gets black honeycombed inserts in the upper and lower grille sections. At launch, Volkswagen will offer the GTI in three colors: the Pure White seen here, Tornado Red and Black. Tartan patterned seats are of course still an option for the interior, while the GTI-specific steering wheel and shift knob are standard.

Volkswagen caught testing hotter Golf R 400

Wed, May 20 2015

We're getting closer, folks. Last we heard, Volkswagen gave its super-hot Golf R 400 the green light for production. And before that, we were told that if the car got the go-ahead, it would be offered in the United States. So here we are, with a fresh set of spy shots showing what we believe to be the R 400 out testing. Here's one dream that might just be coming true. The prototype seen here sports bigger brakes, different wheels, very low-profile tires, a front lip spoiler, and a wing around back – that last bit looks to be borrowed from the GTI Clubsport. It's not nearly as outrageous-looking as the original R 400 concept, but that's okay with us. Volkswagen's production hot hatches have always been pretty subtle. We love a good sleeper. Under the hood, expect a turbocharged powertrain tuned up to over 400 horsepower. It'll be mated to a dual-clutch transmission and 4Motion all-wheel drive – two parts of the current Golf R package that work very, very well. There's no telling exactly when we'll see the production Golf R 400, assuming it's actually, really, finally happening. All we can do now is wait. And salivate.

Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn resigns amid diesel scandal

Wed, Sep 23 2015

Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn is stepping down amid charges the company manipulated its diesel-powered cars to meet emissions regulations around the world, the automaker announced Wednesday. No successor was immediately announced, though recommendations will be made at VW's board meeting Friday. Winterkorn, 68, has led VW since 2007 and oversaw the German automaker's staggering growth around the world. His departure comes less than a week after the EPA alleged the company has been cheating on diesel emissions testing for years, and that its cars might emit 40 times more pollution than legally allowed. The EPA says about 482,000 vehicles are affected in the United States, and VW estimates at least 11 million vehicles globally might have the software that allows the vehicles to cheat emissions regulations. "As CEO I accept responsibility for the irregularities that have been found in diesel engines and have therefore requested the Supervisory Board to agree on terminating my function as CEO of the Volkswagen Group," Winterkorn said in a statement. "I am doing this in the interests of the company even though I am not aware of any wrongdoing on my part. "Volkswagen needs a fresh start – also in terms of personnel. I am clearing the way for this fresh start with my resignation." Winterkorn stepped down after an executive committee meeting of the VW Supervisory Board Wednesday. The committee agreed Winterkorn had no knowledge of wrongdoing. "The executive committee has tremendous respect for his willingness to nevertheless assume responsibility and, in so doing, to send a strong signal both internally and externally," VW said in a statement. Volkswagen is conducting an internal review and expects more "personnel consequences" in the coming days. It also will voluntarily submit a complaint to the state prosecutor's office in Brunswick, Germany, and cooperate with the expected criminal investigation. Winterkorn's departure is the latest development in VW's burgeoning diesel emissions scandal. It came to light last week after the work of researchers at West Virginia University detailed the software manipulation designed to skirt EPA tests, and it has resounded as governments around the world examine Volkswagen's diesel vehicles. The company set aside $7.3 billion to deal with the fallout and has retained the law firm that defended BP during its oil spill.
