THIS IS AN ORIGINAL CALIFORNIA CAR 1972 VOLKSWAGEN WESTFALIA CAMPMOBILE BUS WITH THE POP TOP CANVAS SLEEPER AND 1700cc ENGINE. HAS 91,XXX MILES. THIS IS THE STRAIGHTEST, MOST RUST-FREE VINTAGE VW I'VE EVER SEEN. I'M NO EXPERT, BUT I'VE LOOKED AT QUITE A FEW. IT RUNS AND DRIVES WELL. VIDEOS AND PICTURES TELL THE STORY, BUT I'LL LIST AS MUCH AS I CAN HERE:

PROS:

MINIMAL SURFACE RUST (SOME "WORSE" SPOTS, BUT THEY ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN).
SUPER STRAIGHT BODY (ONE SPOT AT ENGINE BAY DOOR BOTTOM HAS DAMAGE).
ENGINE, TRANNY AND CLUTCH ARE STRONG.
NEW TIRES.
BRAKES ARE STRONG, NO PULLING.
LIGHTS AND SIGNALS WORK.
WIPERS WORK ON BOTH SPEEDS, BUT SOMETHING DID START SQUEAKING ON AND OFF AFTER TWO HOURS OF USE.
GLASS AND SCREENS ARE ALL GOOD AND WINDOWS ALL WORK.
AFTERMARKET RADIO WITH REMOTE AND SPEAKERS.
SUPER CLEAN INTERIOR.
GREAT POP TOP CANVAS (MINIMAL SMALL HOLES) WITH OEM FOLDING SLEEPER.
SPEEDO AND ODOMETER WORK.
BONUS SOLAR PANEL SYSTEM WITH 120V AND 12V CAPABILITY.
SINK WORKS, NICE ICE BOX.
DOORS ALL WORK WELL. SOME OF THE LOCKS ARE QUITE TIGHT TO TURN, BUT THEY ALL WORK.
COMES WITH TWO KEYS.
ORIGINAL MANUALS INCLUDED.

CONS:

PAINT: MATTE BROWN ON THE BOTTOM WAS SPRAYED ON BY PREVIOUS OWNER. NOT TERRIBLE, BUT NOT GREAT. A CLEAR COAT ON IT WOULD DO WONDERS, BUT A COMPLETE RE-SPRAY WOULD TAKE THIS BUS TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
CHIP COATING APPLIED TO THE FRONT.
COUPLE SMALL CRACKS IN THE DASH.
RUBBER LATCH HANDLE ON THE GLOVE BOX IS TEARING FROM ITS BASE, BUT STILL WORKS.
INTERIOR HANDLE FOR SIDE DOOR HAS BROKEN. NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. DOOR STILL OPENS WITH ATTACHED VISE GRIP PLIERS.
SMALL HOLES IN THE TOP CANVAS.
ENGINE STALLED ON ME A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN COLD. MAY NEED ATTENTION. RUNS DOWN THE ROAD LIKE A CHAMP.
SOME FLUID LEAKS AT ENGINE. NOT SURE FROM WHERE, BUT IS PRETTY MINOR. OIL LEVEL WAS GOOD WHEN I CHECKED IT.
DENT AT REAR BOTTOM OF ENGINE BAY DOOR.

IF I MISSED ANYTHING (I'M SURE I HAVE), PLEASE ASK. WATCH BOTH VIDEOS FIRST. THANKS TO ALL FOR LOOKING!

VW planning 20 new plug-in models for China

Thu, Oct 30 2014

With just about everything getting super-sized for China, Volkswagen is following suit with its plug-in vehicle plans for the world's most populous country. VW, Europe's largest carmaker, is looking to sell more than 20 different plug-in models in China within the next four years, Reuters says, citing comments Volkswagen Group China head Jochem Heizmann made in Shanghai. The company is hoping that translates to sales of more than 100,000 plug-ins in China by the end of the decade. Go big or go home, right? There's a huge plug-in vehicle opportunity in China, especially given the bad pollution situation in cities like Beijing and Shanghai and the Chinese government's incentives for plug-in vehicle buyers. Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn said at the Beijing Motor Show this spring that the company would spend $25 billion on at least a half-dozen plug-in models for China by 2018. VW will start selling the e-Golf in China this year and the Golf GTE plug-in hybrid in 2015. VW said in August that it would start selling the e-Golf in the US for about $35,500 in November. That's a $6,500 price hike from the base Nissan Leaf.

Italian investigators search Lambo headquarters in VW probe

Thu, Oct 15 2015

Italian investigators searched Lamborghini headquarters on Oct. 15 to look for evidence of managers' involvement in Volkswagen's emissions cheating. VW's main office in Verona was also inspected, according to Reuters. Lamborghini is owned by Volkswagen, and Lambo in turn is listed as the owner of VW Group Italia. Authorities wanted to find out if employees were conscious that the vehicles were skirting emissions rules. "It is one thing if I sell water and pretend it's wine, but if I sell water believing it is wine it's different." Verona chief prosecutor Mario Giulio Schinaia said to Reuters. Italian newspaper Gazetta del Sud reported that several managers in Italy were under investigation for alleged fraud. Prosecutors in Germany have also been rigorously investigating VW, and they recently staged a similar raid on the company's headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany. The automaker reportedly turned over documents and other data relating to the software defeat device. Meanwhile, VW's internal investigation has turned up little wrongdoing, though a recent leak suggested otherwise, and at least 30 managers could have known about the defeat device. The automaker has disputed that figure. Volkswagen of America CEO Michael Horn testified before Congress that he believed only a few individuals were involved. The situation hasn't been easy on VW in the US, either. The Department of Justice has also been pursuing an investigation into the automaker. Plus, state attorneys general are filing lawsuits against the company for defrauding customers. VW has until Nov. 20 to explain a repair for the problem to the California Air Resources Board.

A fix and buyback program for Audi V6 diesels may be on the way

Tue, Nov 15 2016

While Volkswagen reached a settlement to buy back 2.0-liter diesel inline-fours with emissions defeat devices, the roughly 80,000 cars with 3.0-liter diesel V6s built by Audi have yet to be addressed. But a new report from Bloomberg indicates that a solution is near. The publication says that sources familiar with the situation say the company has a fix ready for the majority of the cars, and that the EPA and California Air Resources Board are ready to approve it. According to Bloomberg, this fix would involve a software update and would work for about 60,000 of the Audi A8, Q5, Q7, Porsche Cayenne, and VW Touareg models with the engine. The rest of the vehicles won't be fixable without major modification, so those would have to be purchased back from the owners. Bloomberg does point out that approval from the EPA and CARB are only one piece of the puzzle. The publication said that this deal has yet to be approved by owners of the cars and the Federal Trade Commission, both of which may demand that VW offer a buyback to all owners, even those whose cars can be fixed. The good news for owners of VW products with this engine, is that they should have some closure pretty soon. And owners that still like their diesel V6 can take solace that they might actually be able to get them fixed, as opposed to owners of the 2.0-liter diesels. VW offered buybacks to owners of all 475,000 cars with the turbo four-cylinders, or a fix when it's available. However, there have been no signs of an approved fix.
