You are bidding on a wonderful original surviving example of the iconic 1970 Volkswagen Westfalia Campmobile "pop-top" van. She is in exceptional running and driving condition, with tight steering, sound brakes, a good clutch, and a precise-shifting four-speed manual transmission. The Westie starts right up, even cold. Driving the van inspires confidence, not apprehension... she's rock solid.
The Westfalia Campmobile features include the pop-up camper top, fold-out upper level sleeping cot, rear seat which converts into a very spacious bed, a folding inside dining table, hand-pump sink with water reservoir, fold-out cutting board/prep surface (inside), fold-out serving tray (outside), icebox, 110v outlets (*must be externally plugged in for power), curtains, privacy snaps, etc. It can comfortably sleep three adults, or two adults and a couple kids. The odometer shows 56,300 miles which are believed to be original and accurate. The engine runs great, sounds great, and doesn't have any smoke, noise, or oil-consumption issues. There is no apparent outer body, or interior floor rust-through anywhere. In fact, the only evidence I can find of rust anywhere is in the battery tray area, which was replaced with a wooden tray. Very straight, sound, solid. The body lines are excellent, all the doors open and shut nicely, including the rear hatch, side door, and engine cover. There are minor dings, chips, and blemishes on the paint consistent with a vehicle that has been used, but not abused. Tires are good, including the spare. The glass is good all around. The window rubbers show their age, but still seal as they should. The pop-top is also weather-tight, with what appears to be original canvas with a few lower-edge mends. The overhead cot mechanism is sound, as is the canvas cot itself. There is a netting panel that I believe fits the rear hatch cover so you can sleep with the hatch open. All the windows open and close as they should, including the louvered "storm" windows. The curtain tracks are present throughout, and the paint in the interior is "the" original ivory. The upholstery is also original and in very good condition overall. The wood inside is original and in very good condition. The floor under the carpet seems to also be the original wood. In the cockpit, both bucket seats are in good shape with the driver's having a small missing/torn piece. The dash pad is without cracks, as is the dash panel. The metal floorboards are excellent throughout, wearing original paint. The lights, turn signals, flasher, wipers, heater, and blower all work as they should. As for missing, funky, requiring repair, etc. the list is minor: Does not have complete original curtains. Wiper control knob missing, as is the ash tray, radio, front door panels, and front rubber floor mat... the Westy was left unlocked, apparently another owner "needed" the parts more than I. They are inexpensive and easy to obtain, but you won't miss them if you just want to hop in and drive. The gas gauge is not entirely accurate... it works, but not precisely. The ignition switch is original; the "start" position has failed... turn the key on as you normally would, and depress a hidden start button. Or, replace the switch and it works normally. That is everything I can think of. To recap, the van is reliable, predictable, solid, sound, and sweet... you will love her if this is the vehicle you've been wanting. Solid bones to completely restore if you wish, but way nice enough to enjoy as-is without doing anything. Clear title, no brands or issues. While I am making every effort to describe the vehicle accurately, it is in fact a 43-year-old classic, and therefore being sold as-is, without warranty or guarantee expressed, written, or implied. I welcome an in-person inspection if you are local, or if you wish to have a third party perform same. Shipping is the full responsibility of the buyer. I will make myself available for loading on short notice. Please be prepared to remit payment in full within 3 days of auction's end via bank wire transfer, or cash in person. You may call me directly at 360-936-9257 with any questions, etc. I must reserve the right to end the auction early, as I have the vehicle advertised locally as well. I am open to a fair offer if you would like me to end to you through ebay... you may email or call to inquire. Reserve is fair, and someone will get the Westy they've always wanted. |

Volkswagen delivers with new Caddy van
Sat, Feb 7 2015As many models as the Volkswagen Group offers in North America, it has even more that never make the journey: models like the Scirocco and Polo but also entire brands like Seat, Skoda and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. That's the brand that gives us models like the Amarok, the Transporter and this – the new VW Caddy. Now entering its fourth generation after 1.5 million units sold around the world, the Caddy takes some of its underpinnings from the Golf and some from the Touran minivan to make a small work van, similar to the Ford Transit Connect or Nissan NV200, only more, you know... German. The new model obviously benefits from revised sheetmetal to bring its styling more in line with other VW models, but also gets new equipment as well. There are new safety features on board and a revised interior with an upgraded infotainment system. There's an array of engine options including a 2.0-liter diesel four in four states of tune, three gasoline engines (including a 1.0-liter three and 1.2- or 1.4-liter fours) and even a 1.4-liter EcoFuel version running on natural gas. And buyers will be able to choose as well between passenger and panel-van cargo versions. Unfortunately, as with the rest of its commercial vehicles lineup, Volkswagen doesn't offer the Caddy in North America. So if this is the type of vehicle you're looking for, you'll have to make do choosing from models like the Ram ProMaster City, Chevy City Express and the aforementioned Ford and Nissan. The new Caddy – always the best choice – world premiere for the fourth generation of the best-seller - Entry-level price reduced due to new versions - Emissions and fuel consumption reduced by new EU6 engines - Safety increased by new driver assistance systems - Design refined with clear edge Hannover/ Poznan, 04 February 2015: Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is showing the fourth generation of the hugely popular Caddy for the first time. Around 1.5 million of the award-winning previous generation were sold worldwide during its eleven years in production. A success that the new Caddy is intended to continue because the urban delivery van and its privately used brother have been enhanced and refined in every area.
J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.
2016 VW GTI Clubsport is a new breed of forbidden fruit
Wed, Sep 16 2015And this, friends, is the closest we'll ever get to the Volkswagen GTI Clubsport. As we were sad to report, this middle child between the standard GTI and the high-performance Golf R will not be coming to our shores, no matter how much we beg and plead. For those that need a refresher, the Clubsport was inspired by a concept originally shown at Worhtersee earlier this year. Its positioning means it's up on power – there are 261 (probably underrated) horsepower in this compact – although mum's the word on any upgrades to the suspension. As we previously noted, the extra 51 hp over stock will get the mid-level hot hatch to 60 in just 5.9 seconds, if you opt for the dual-clutch automatic, or an even six seconds with the manual trans. Loathe as we are to admit it, aside from the extra horsepower, most of the stuff about the Clubsport appears to be aesthetic. The body kit is all new and significantly more aggressive than the what's found on the GTI, while new 18-inch wheels are standard, although 19s can be optioned. Also larger, the twin chrome exhaust tips. In the cabin, there are far more aggressive sport seats, which are quite simply too cool to be sold in the US (just kidding, it's probably some silly federal regulation). We just had to mosey on down to the Volkswagen stand and check out the new GTI Clubsport. You can view all of our shots of the new hatch up top. Related Video:
