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. |

VW reaches out to diesel consumers with new website
Tue, Sep 29 2015Volkswagen is starting to get details out to the public about its diesel emissions evasions in the US, and the automaker now has a dedicated website for consumers. The first thing that visitors see is an apology video from Volkswagen Group of America CEO Michael Horn. The site also details all of the VW TDI's currently known to be affected here, including the 2009-2015 Jetta, 2009-2014 Jetta SportWagen, 2010-2015 Golf, 2015 Golf SportWagen, 2012-2015 Beetle and Beetle convertible, and 2012-2015 Passat. Although, the Audi A3 should be on there, too. The company repeatedly reassures owners that these vehicles are safe to drive and promises it's developing a fix as quickly as possible to make them emissions compliant. On the site's FAQ, VW also clarifies that there's still a stop-sale on all of these models with the 2.0-liter TDI, including certified pre-owned ones. That could change soon because the automaker believes that the 2016 model year examples are legal, but the Environmental Protection Agency needs to sign off before they could go to dealers. Until the diesels can be sold, there also won't be any TDI advertising by VW. "We are working at full speed on a technical solution that we will present to partners, to our customers and to the public as swiftly as possible," Herbert Diess, CEO of Volkswagen passenger car division, says in a statement. He also offers an improved accounting of the number of vehicles affected. VW had previously said that there were 11 million with the emissions evading software worldwide. According to Diess, around five million of these came from the VW brand. Audi has said there about 2.1 million of its models affected globally with between 13,000 and 14,000 in America. DR. HERBERT DIESS, CEO OF THE VOLKSWAGEN PASSENGER CARS BRAND, EXPLAINS: "WE ARE WORKING AT FULL SPEED ON A SOLUTION." Wolfsburg, September 25, 2015 – In the press release dated September 22, 2015, the Volkswagen Group announced that Volkswagen Group vehicles worldwide are affected by the current issues regarding emissions. The internal evaluation revealed that approximately five million Volkswagen Passenger Cars brand vehicles are affected worldwide. Certain models and model years of these vehicles (such as the sixth generation Volkswagen Golf, the seventh generation Volkswagen Passat and the first generation Volkswagen Tiguan) are equipped exclusively with type EA 189 diesel engines.
Volkswagen Caddy gets the Alltrack treatment for Frankfurt
Sun, Sep 13 2015We've seen Alltrack versions of the VW Golf and Passat. The German automaker's commercial vehicles division has even done a concept version of the Multivan with a similar treatment. And now it's taking that same rugged off-road approach with the Caddy van. The new Caddy Alltrack starts off with the latest, fourth-generation city van revealed earlier this year in Geneva, and beefs it up to replace the previous Cross Caddy. That comes down principally to black trim on the wheel arches, side sills, bumpers, and underbody protection with metallic accents. It also packs unique 17-inch alloys, fog lights, chrome trim on the grille, silver roof rails, a new optional beige metallic paint (pictured), and Alltrack logos galore. The interior has similarly been worked over with unique trim. Though no mention has been made of any suspension upgrades, the Caddy Alltrack can be specified with 4Motion all-wheel drive. Prospective buyers (in markets where VW offers its commercial vehicles line) will also have to choose between passenger and panel van body-styles, and between four diesel and three gasoline engine options. They range in output from 74 to 123 horsepower and come mated to manual or dual-clutch transmissions with five, six, or seven gears. Look for the new Caddy Alltrack to highlight the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles display at the Frankfurt Motor Show opening later this week. Related Video: The new Caddy – now available as Alltrack version with off-road styling - World premiere of Cross Caddy successor at IAA 2015 - Fourth generation of the Volkswagen best-seller once again available in rugged off-road style - Passenger car and panel van Alltrack variants optionally available with 4MOTION Hannover/Frankfurt, 10 September 2015 – Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles will be showcasing the latest off-road style version of its best-selling Caddy at the IAA (International Automobile Show) from 15 to 27 September, 2015. The successor to the Cross Caddy is called the Caddy Alltrack. Like its predecessor, it is available both in passenger car and panel van formats. The latest version of the urban delivery van and family MPV is clearly distinct from the other Caddy models with its exclusive 17-inch alloy wheels 'Quito', new Mojave Beige metallic paintwork and optional 4MOTION all-wheel drive technology.
A VW will help you keep control of your terrible children, apparently
Wed, Apr 29 2015Not all kids are angels, and in fact some of them can be destructive little monsters at the worst of times. Parents know it, too. Volkswagen is playing on adults' fear of being publicly embarrassed by their progeny in an extremely clever ad, touting the long-distance driving range of the Passat TDI. Titled Mom, the spot is certainly one of the more creative sales pitches ever devised for a vehicle's fuel economy. The ad allows three little boys to go absolutely wild in a convenience store as a horrified cashier watches. Although, the commercial certainly raises the question: what mom would actually let her kids run around unattended while pumping gas?
