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!

Audi investing $30.3 billion through 2018 for product expansion

Sun, 29 Dec 2013

How does Audi plan to reach two million units in annual sales and pay for the 11 new models it's adding to its lineup - an expansion that may include models named SQ2, Q9 and F-Tron? By increasing its investment to 22 billion euros ($30.3 billion US) between now and 2018. That figure represents an increase of about 500 million euros over the previously planned outlay, according to a report by Automotive News, and that could be due to Audi wishing to goad the momentum that pushed it to 1.5 million annual sales two years ahead of schedule.
It's also about staving off the challenges from BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Now that BMW has been able to turn some of its attention away from its "i" series of Megacity cars, it will reportedly spend more than planned in 2014 as it continues the rollout of ten all-new vehicles and 15 new-generation vehicles through the end of next year. Mercedes, having been dropped to third in the sales race, is preparing to add 13 new cars over the next six years.
Audi's money is going into technology, into product like the next-generation TT and the Q1 and production expansions and upgrades all over the world. The expenditure represents just under a fourth of Volkswagen's 84.2 billion-euro ($115.7 US) outlay devoted to taking the number-one global automaker title away from General Motors and Toyota by 2018.

Volkswagen Golf Wagon caught completely uncovered

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Without a lot of information to go with them, our camera-toting spies have captured some new images of a Volkswagen Golf wagon variant that is almost completely undisguised. In fact, the one piece of camouflage on the tidy wagon would probably have gone unnoticed to most casual viewers. Look closely at the rear three-quarter view of the car and you'll notice that the apparent taillight clusters are actually fakes - the outline of the real units is faintly visible behind the blue bodywork and the sticker-like fake taillights.
It's a good guess then, that this Golf wagon (called a Golf Kombi by our spy photographer) is a prototype that's pretty far along in the development cycle for Volkswagen. We can't be sure what impact this will have on the company's small wagon offering here in the US, but we'd be pretty surprised if something very like this didn't end up as the next Jetta SportWagen. We might well have more information on that front, after we visit Geneva next week.

Watch Chris Harris in the electric VW ID.R waste a McLaren 720S

Mon, Feb 24 2020

The Volkswagen ID.R doesn't have much in common with a McLaren 720S, other than the fact that they are both performance-crazed cars. One gets its power from batteries, the other from gas. One uses electric motors, the other a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8. One is a halo prototype vehicle, the other is a road-legal supercar available for purchase. So when Chris Harris and "Top Gear" decided to "race" the two against each other, it was more of a demonstration of the VW's unreal capabilities than any sort of real competitive faceoff. In episode five of Top Gear's 28th season, which just aired February 23, the trio of Harris, Freddie Flintoff and Paddy McGuinness welcomed Youtuber KSI on the show and ventured out on a luxury sports car road trip with an Aston Martin, Porsche, and Ferrari. Separately, Harris took to the track to test out Volkswagen's golden egg of the moment, the ID.R. As VW fully launches into its electric-vehicle push, the ID.R is meant to exhibit what battery-electric technology is capable of. With two electric motors, one on the front axle and one on the rear axle, the 2,425-pound ID.R has four-wheel drive and makes a claimed 670 horsepower. As Harris notes in the video, the ID.R. was not built for a specific regulation-bogged racing organization or competition, and thus, it's only held back by the rules of Mother Nature and Father Physics. Since the car's debut, it has been annihilating records around the world, including at Pike's Peak, Goodwood, the Nurburgring, and Heaven's Gate. Chris Harris didn't set any records in the ID.R., but he certainly showed how outrageous this machine is. The 710-horsepower 720S can go from zero mph to 62 mph in less than three seconds, and the ID.R has a sizable lead within that same time. Again, this wasn't an instance of test-and-conclude, it was a show of perspective. The ID.R is a race car, so even though the 720S is one of the best supercars in the world, it never stood a chance. See for yourself above. Related Video:
