Up for sale at "No Reserve" except for a low starting price, is a very nice, clean, original, unmolested 1970 Camper Van. This is a California Van from the Lancaster desert area with no rust outside of light surface rust on the bumper guards, and wheels. The Van originally belonged to my parents who bought it with only a few thousand miles on it. As their daily driver it racked up quite a few miles, but was very well maintained. Because of an inaccurate speedometer I am not sure of the exact mileage on the van. At some point the engine was replaced with a German remanufactured engine. We have most of the maintenance records from the time it was new. A light restoration would bring it back up to near perfect condition, with little work, given it's age and mileage. The original owners manual is still in the glove box, and the original tool kit is still under the back seat.

The van starts, runs and drives very well. We brought the car back to Kansas with the intention of going through it, and keeping it for ourselves. With all of our other car projects the van went to the "back burner" and has just been setting. It is time to let someone else give it the attention it deserves. You would be hard pressed to find another VW this nice, and original. Smoke-free environment. This will make someone a really nice camper.

We have tried to include enough photos to show the overall condition with the areas that need attention. Although I feel this vehicle is very reliable, and would drive it anywhere, it is a 44 year old collector vehicle and should be viewed as such. If you are not familiar with the care and maintenance that these older VW's require, this may not be the car for you.

Car Club USA: Waterfest

Tue, Oct 20 2015

Car Club USA travels back to Englishtown Raceway Park for Waterfest, a celebration of water-cooled Audi and Volkswagen cars. We catch up with a pair of VW autocross contestants racing for top prize, and a young Audi owner hoping to win best in show for the Garden State Euros car club. "It's massive," explained Garden State Euro's Ryan Topken. "You have tons of vendors, tons of events going on. There's the show. There's the drag strip. There's autocross." "It's pretty much like a frat party for Volkswagens," added fellow club member Carlin Belkowski. Will the guys from Garden State Euros head home with any hardware? 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.
