This is an awesome camper van and I hate to sell it but I need to free up some storage space. It's a fantastic example of an original, classic Volkswagen camper and it's becoming very hard to find one in this condition that hasn't been completely restored. Their are a few blemishes here and there but they give it character. The odometer shows 80k miles and although I don't have any documentation to support it, I believe it's genuine. The bus is just too nice to 180k. The bus runs and drive great and doesn't have any clucks or rattles that you would associate with an old car. It has the original 1800 cc engine, 4 speed manual transmission and both work great. The interior is in very good shape as well and you have to love that funky '70's plaid upholstery. I will do my best to describe my bus accurately and honestly for you.

The bus was built on Wednesday, April 3rd, 1974 and painted L90D Pastel White It still wears almost all of it's original paint and I don't think it's ever been in an accident. It still shines like a new car. There nose has typical rock chips and the paint is worn under the spare tire. There is small dent on the right front door by the reflector but that's about the worst of it. It looks like the right rear corner was repainted at some point in the past as well and there are two small holes drilled in each rear quarter panel, possibly for some kind of door guard. There is also a tiny dent in the tailgate and some scuff marks on the sliding door. I had the fiberglass top repainted when I bought it because the gel coat was staring to fail. I've looked it over from top to bottom and the only real rust that I've found is a couple small holes under the battery, which is pretty typical and would be an easy fix.

The interior is in great shape and nearly all original as well. It has green door cards, green carpet and of course, that crazy blue and green plaid seat upholstery. I had the front seat padding replaced because it was in sad shape but everything else is as new. There is a hole about the size of a quarter in the rear seat bottom. It has a period aftermarket am/fm stereo which works well. The sink, icebox and dining table are all there. the pop top works smoothly and the canvas is in pretty good shape. the zipper on the front window needs to be re-sewed but other than that it's ready for some camping!

It still has the original 1800cc dual carb type four engine, which is completely stock. It looks like the muffler has been replaced sometime in the past. It recently had an oil change, tune up, valve adjustment and new engine compartment seal put in. it runs like a champ and is ready for some road trips. The tires have plenty of tread and the brakes work well too. It comes with four original VW keys and two keys for the locking gas cap as well as the owners manual.

This is a beautiful classic Westaflia camper and it's to take it's next owner on some great adventures. if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. you will have to figure out the shipping but I will be happy to assist with transport in the Denver area. Thanks for looking!

Volkswagen to add 50k jobs by 2018

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

Volkswagen still has its eyes set on becoming the top global automaker by 2018, and to get there, it's apparently going to need more boots on the ground. Automotive News Europe is reporting that VW is looking to increase its staff by 50,000 over the next five years - an increase of nine percent - which does not include an increase in its US dealer network.
According to the report, a majority of the growth will come from China where the automaker is also looking to double its production capacity in the same time frame. The Volkswagen Group is already expected to rival General Motors for the top sales spot in China this year, and such a rapid expansion in the region could make a good springboard for sales increases in other countries.

VW decides against active-cooling system for e-Golf lithium battery

Tue, Apr 1 2014

When the 2015 VW e-Golf was introduced at the LA Auto Show last year, VW said it would come with a water-cooled battery. During the Detroit Auto Show, when the car was trotted out again, VW released a new press release that stripped out the "water-cooled" language, but this change went unnoticed. During a recent VW event in Germany, a friend from Green Car Reports realized that the battery on display did not seem to have any water-cooling mechanisms. That set us off on a bit of a sleuthing and we have now learned that VW is not going to include any active cooling in the upcoming e-Golf. In fact, the company is entirely confident that this car - because of what it's designed to do - doesn't need it. "The need for a cooling system wasn't there" - VW's Darryll Harrison VW has been working on an electrified Golf for ages now, and so changes to the plan are to be expected. But battery cooling is vitally important not just to keep the car operating properly but because when things get too hot, there can be serious public relations problems. Nissan began testing a new battery chemistry for the Leaf in 2013 after an uproar from warm-weather EV drivers in Arizona who were experiencing worse-than-expected battery performance. The Leaf has always used an air-cooled battery, which is another way to say that there is no active cooling system (more details here). Tesla CEO Elon Musk once said this approach is "primitive." So, why is VW following the same path? We asked Darryll Harrison, VW US's manager of brand public relations west, for more information, and he told AutoblogGreen that VW engineers discovered through a lot of testing of the Golf Mk6 EV prototypes, that battery performance was not impacted by temperatures when using the right battery chemistry. That chemistry, it turns out, is lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) in cells from Panasonic. These cells had "the lowest self-warming tendency and the lowest memory effect of all cells tested," Harrison said. He added that VW engineers tested the NMC cells in places like Death Valley and Arizona and found they didn't warm very quickly either through operation, charging (including during fast charging) or through high ambient temps. "The need for a cooling system wasn't there," Harrison said.

VW will reportedly offer cash to cheated diesel car drivers

Sun, Nov 8 2015

If you're feeling burned by Volkswagen's decision to cheat on diesel emissions tests, you might get some compensation for your troubles. Sources for The Truth About Cars understand that VW will launch a "TDI Goodwill Program" that compensates diesel car drivers with cash in the form of prepaid cards. In the US, you'd get both a $500 universal card as well as a VW-only card worth $500 to $750. The automaker isn't confirming details just yet, but it tells the New York Times that it's planning an announcement on Monday. Dealers also tell the newspaper that they're aware of a program in the works, although they don't know the specifics. It may not include the expanded range of cars reportedly tainted by the scandal, though, since VW is denying claims that it cheated with some models. This isn't the only olive branch VW has been offering: it's been handing out deals to existing owners willing to hop into new vehicles, and there are more discounts than usual across the board. However, the goodwill effort would represent the first instance of VW directly compensating drivers who'd previously thought they were getting an eco-friendly machine. This isn't going to make up for years of unnecessary pollution, but it may represent the company's best hope of holding on to customers.
