Newport News, Virginia, United States
|
Please see full picture album here: http://imgur.com/a/YvU7B Willing to ship worldwide, and I can deliver to Port of Norfolk VA. Up for sale is our beautiful 1979 VW Westfalia Deluxe Camper! It is in excellent shape with no known issues. As you can see from the photos, it has been very well cared for, and we have done lots of work on this great bus. We have had the bus since 2008, and taken her on many road trips and camping trips across Virginia, North Carolina, and West Virginia. In the past three weeks she has gone on camping in Powhatan Co, and Lake Anna, both trips 100% trouble free. The bus is located at my house in Newport News, VA 23608.
The body was painted just before we purchased it, and is holding up great. At the same time they replaced the pop-top tent. There are no dents or dings, but just a scratch on the passenger door (see photo) and a tiny rust spot on the driver door (see photo). According to the previous owner, there was a dent that was fixed on the passenger side rear corner, but it does not show.
We have done a TON to improve the comfort and looks of the bus. Here is a list of some of the features and improvements this bus has:
-very strong running engine (42k on odometer, but probably 142 or 242) -recent tune up with new plugs and wires -recent timing job -recent valve adjustment -recent brake job- Stops fast and strait -new Kenwood (KDC-258U) CD player with aux input and USP port - new 6.5 Kenwood Excelon door speakers - new 3-way Pioneer speakers in rear cabin -new front door panels -new front kick panels -new VA state inspection (4/15) -deluxe refrigerator – Works great -new deep cycle battery for the fridge and camping gear -recently new starting battery -new front cabin rubber mat -New walkthrough mat -New Westfalia fabric front seat covers -Rear bench/mattress and upper mattress recently steam cleaned -childs cot for front cabin area (not pictured because it was in my garage) -complete original curtain set -original front privacy curtain -rear hatch mosquito screen -cabinets recently laminated. Looks perfect! -New fire extinguisher -Good tires with tons of tread -New carpet installed in rear cabin and around seats -Rare front table -Cool table mount for outside of bus. Allows the large table to be set up outside when camping -Full propane tank -Full size spare tire with tons of tread
Although this is an amazing bus, here are a few things that should be addressed at some point:
-Driver door just started not opening when interior handle is pulled. This is due to the speaker and door panel install. It is a very easy fix, but you have to take to panel off. -Scratch and rust mark previously mentioned, plus minor paint blemishes here and there. -sink leaks when using city water. It works perfectly on the tanked water. -One interior light doesn't work. It’s likely the bulb. -Front windshield seal needs replacing. I have ordered a new one, and it is included in the sale. -key is worn out a bit and locking some doors from the outside can be tricky
All in all this a great bus ready for your summer road trip. I am available most of the time to show the bus if enough notice is given. Please give me a call or shoot me a text message to set up an appointment to see her. You will not be disappointed!
Thank you,
Alex 757-773-1566

Car Club USA: CleanMPG Northwest Rally
Tue, May 19 2015Car Club USA heads to Los Angeles for the CleanMPG Northwest Rally, where a group of like-minded hypermiling enthusiasts led by Wayne Gerdes attempts to drive from Los Angeles, CA, to Bend, OR, on one tank of fuel. For this challenge, Wayne tapped some of the most accomplished hypermilers in the world, including Guinness World Record holder Bob Winger and Mike Sefton, "the most fuel efficient driver in all of Canada." It doesn't take long for the competition to get heated. "They're not aggressive enough, and it's not going to save them anything by being soft right now," says Gerdes as the group attempts to navigate the Interstate traffic. "Driving in Los Angeles is a hyper miler's nightmare," says Winger. The trip will challenge both car and driver, while putting the latest fuel-efficient tech to the test. Wayne is piloting the Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen TDI, Sefton drives the Audi A3 TDI, and Winger attempts the trek in a Honda Accord Hybrid. It's diesel versus hybrid tech on this fuel-efficient trip of a lifetime. Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures. From Main Street cruises to off-road trails, catch all the latest car club activity on Autoblog.

Meet ZelectricBug, the amazing '63 VW Bug converted to EV power
Thu, Feb 27 2014No word a lie, we here at AutoblogGreen are fans of classic cars. What we are not fond of, however, is the pollution that their inefficient engines create, and so it's great to see our old favorites lovingly up-cycled with electric drivetrains. The ZelectricBug is a beautiful example of how new, cleaner life can be breathed into an old Volkswagen Beetle. Now, we first came across this particular automobile during the Refuel event last summer and we were struck by its cleanly done conversion then. Aside from a few snaps in our gallery, though, we didn't give it the kind of attention it deserves. Fortunately, the good folks over at Roads and Rides have rectified this by turning their pro video camera skills onto the 1963 V-Dub and producing a nice little segment to accompany their write up. Scroll below to see the finished footage and head over to their website for some stills. If all this gives you a hankering for your own Zelectric, the company does have plans to sell to the public starting this summer. If you don't want to wait, EV West, the guys who did the drivetrain work on this car, have conversion kits available for Beetles, as well as a number of other vehicles.
