1971 VW Westfalia Campmobile for sale. Very solid bus underneath, no rust in the engine bay, battery compartment, footwells, or any other of the usual places. I'd say it's a very strong #3 or a #2.5 according to the Samba condition chart. I've tried to keep it as original as possible since it is only original once, but it would make a great full on restoration candidate or use it as a daily driver as is like I have been.

The interior sports the original burnt orange cushions. The bench cushions are in great shape and the rear cushion is about average with some marks on the underside from sitting in a barn for years, but still in very usable condition. The original picnic stool is also included. All the curtain rods are there, and I have the front curtain and the back right curtain, but the others are missing. The wood ceiling is in great shape.

The original cot is clean and installed, and I have the pop top canvas in yellow/orange but it is not installed at this time, just in case somebody would rather have a gray pop top, you can exchange this one. If you want the yellow top I'd be happy to install it for you. All the pop top seals are new.

The white paint is sort of two shades of off-white and is satisfactory for a daily driver, but you will want to respray her and replace all the seals while you are doing it if you want to do a full on restoration.

The engine and clutch are recently rebuilt. New parts also include rear half shafts (axles), new disc brake rotors, pads and calipers up front, new brake drums and pads in back. Also new KYB gas shocks all around, new Hankook tires (the best for buses), steering damper, tie rods, and lots of little plastic parts. The original Sapphire AM/FM radio plays through a singe dash speaker just like the old days. It actually sounds really good, believe it or not.

I've put what I think are cool Hawaiian seatcovers on the front seats for now. These actually did come from Hawaii, not China and are very comfortable.

It runs great with the new engine and brand new Pertronix Flamethrower electronic ignition/distributor, and I will include the old (still quite new) 009 distributor setup as well if you want to go back to points.

There is a little crunch in the body behind the right rear wheel from when a tire blew out, I will get a picture of it up.

Please email any questions. Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow

Thu, 17 Jan 2013

A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.

Volkswagen to add 50k jobs by 2018

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

Volkswagen still has its eyes set on becoming the top global automaker by 2018, and to get there, it's apparently going to need more boots on the ground. Automotive News Europe is reporting that VW is looking to increase its staff by 50,000 over the next five years - an increase of nine percent - which does not include an increase in its US dealer network.
According to the report, a majority of the growth will come from China where the automaker is also looking to double its production capacity in the same time frame. The Volkswagen Group is already expected to rival General Motors for the top sales spot in China this year, and such a rapid expansion in the region could make a good springboard for sales increases in other countries.
