1968 Volkswagen Westfalia Camper With Bay Windows on 2040-cars
Houston, Texas, United States
|
Twenty years ago I had the grand plan of buying this 68 bus to help with my newly formed cleaning company. As I grew out of the bus I couldn’t get past the fact that I loved it, so I kept it and drove it on weekends. It seemed at every light people were always pointing or talking about it. I knew I had to hold on to it and figure in twenty years or so I would fix it up and sell it for a split window, my dream bus. Well, the twenty years are up and the chance of me fixing it up are slim to none so I have decided to sell it to the forth owner and let them have the pleasure of fixing up this gem, have some fun and possibly make some money when the time comes. It has it all, original owner's manual and jack, pop top, foldout bed, cot above sliding door, child’s cot over front seats, refrigerator or ice box, sink and cutting table, table, closet with mirror on closet door, extra seat behind drivers seat, foot rest, along with a list of things making this a true get. I will not lie, it does have some issues which I did my best to show them all in the pictures and will try to explain below: A few rust spots under both bay window The biggest rust spot is right in front of the driver’s front seat There are a couple of dents, that are reachable so could be easily fixed One of the racks on the top is broken but easily fixed Does not have the original paint job and does have a few scratches Both door mirrors are either cracked or glass is gone The pop up needs new canvas as well as the top cot The engine was rebuilt right before the gear shift linkage went out which is what put it in the garage. I’m not sure what the issue is on the linkage, the shifter itself could have just pulled out for all I know The last time it drove was in 1999 at Texas Motor Speedway on the infield when the linkage went out. At that point, the engine was working great it just wouldn't go into gears, so we towed it home and it has been in the garage ever since No battery All of these issues are easy fixes, it’s just going to take some time and money of which I have neither. After all of these years it has very little rust on it, with only surface rust on the under carriage and the few spots shown in the pictures. As mention before, this vehicle has been a riot to own and I hate to let her go but it is time as its life is not over and my wife will finally be able to park her car in the garage. I have gotten to know the bus family since owning one and I’m sure this one will find a good home and get the face lift it has always wanted and needed. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me at any time at 281-687-1263. |

VW using other manufacturing locations as leverage in battle with TN [w/video]
Sat, 26 Apr 2014We've reached a new step in the ongoing drama at Volkswagen's factory in Chattanooga, TN. The United Auto Workers recently dropped its opposition to the union vote and agreed that it wouldn't hold another ballot for at least a year. Now, the new question becomes where VW is going to build its forthcoming midsize SUV.
Earlier, it had been considered all but certain that the SUV, likely a production version of the CrossBlue concept (pictured above), would be built in Tennessee. However, it seems the Chattanooga factory might have competition to produce it. In emails obtained by The Detroit News, VW's lawyer wrote to the Tennessee economic development department in January saying, "While we understand there are some 'non-deal' issues that are causing a delay in the TN solution, VW has been successful in reaching agreement on terms at the alternative locations."
As previously reported, the state of Tennessee allegedly offered VW about $300 million in incentives to build the vehicle there and create an estimated 1,350 jobs, but it later rescinded the deal. Newly leaked documents from NewsChannel 5 (WTVF-TV) in Nashville allegedly show just how close that offer was to being completed. It appears that VW actually sent the government the first draft of a memorandum of understanding agreeing to the incentives, but the state removed the offer in late January.
VW updates Scirocco with revised styling, new engines
Sun, 16 Feb 2014The Scirocco is undoubtedly one of the better-looking models in the Volkswagen lineup, but introduced back in 2008, it's now been on the market - some markets, anyway - for the better part of six years. VW is said to have an all-new replacement in the works, but before that arrives, the German automaker has announced a facelifted version with revised styling and a new engine lineup.
Set to be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show next month, the new Scirocco benefits from updated styling front and rear, high-tech exterior lighting, a revised cabin space with some throwback retro touches, some new technologies and, of course, an array of fresh wheel options ranging from 17 to 19 inches.
The updated Scirocco will be offered with a wide array of engines right from the get-go, including four gasoline options and two diesels, spanning from 125 horsepower all the way up to the 280-hp Scirocco R. The 2014 model hits European showrooms in August, but unfortunately isn't any more likely to make the transatlantic voyage Stateside than the version it replaces. Still interested? There's plenty to see in the high-res image gallery above and details in the press release below.
VW adding particulate filters to gas engines
Wed, Aug 3 2016Volkswagen is working hard to overcome the PR disaster that is its diesel emissions scandal, and part of its efforts is focusing, weirdly, on petrol engines. Starting in June 2017, the embattled German automaker will add particulate filters to the gas-powered Volkswagen Tiguan and Audi A5. The change will eventually impact nearly every direct-injected gas engine the VW Group makes. Audi? Particulate filter. Seat? Particulate filter. Even Bentley is going to get the tech, all in a bid to reduce soot emissions by 90 percent. In fact, by 2022 VAG expects 7 million of its vehicles to boast the emissions-cleaning tech, which has long been a fixture on diesel engines. "Following increases in efficiency and lower CO2 output, we are now bringing about a sustained reduction in the emission levels of our modern petrol engines by fitting particulate filters as standard," Volkswagen Group research and design boss Dr. Ulrich Eichhorn said in a statement. "In the future, all models will be equipped with the latest and most efficient SCR catalytic converter technology." VW's initial rollout focuses on the 1.4-liter, turbocharged Tiguan and the 2.0-liter, turbocharged A5. Considering the popularity of the 2.0-liter across the VW range, we'd expect it's only a matter of time before VW expands its particulate filters tech to additional gas-powered vehicles.
