1969 Vw Bus - Westfalia Vanagon Van on 2040-cars
Maize, Kansas, United States
|
I am selling my 1969 VW Bus. It is a nice bus. Lots of compliments on it. Overall, I think it is in better condition than most of them out there. I have always been fascinated with them, and had to buy this one.
I have redone most of the interior on it. It has all new carpet and all new panels. Before I put the new carpet in, I sealed the entire floor with undercoating/rubber. Everything has been reupholstered. New Visors are installed. New radio. I also put a brand new Baltic Birch wood roof in it. I put new polished wheels and tires on it. Very few miles on these. At the time, I put undercoating in the wheel wells, so they look great. The bus originally had a pop up roof in the center. A roof was cut from another bus and riveted on this one. Most people dont even notice it. So, it looks like a cross between a transporter and camper. Obviously, it can be camped in still, as it has the bed and closet, yet it doesnt have the hassle of a leaking pop up tent. Mechanically, it is a sound bus and runs great. It was owned by a vintage VW mechanic before me. The gauges all work. I want to be as clear as I can, so here are my critiques: -I just installed new heater cables. They need to be attached at the heater boxes. -The paint looks pretty good, but I don't think it got the best paint job prep in the world. There are a few placed where there is a little surface rust under the paint. See the pictures. I gave an example. -There is a dent in the rear passengers quarter panel. That's the closet side, so its hard to see from. I have had quotes of $200-600 to fix it. Not a big deal. I would probably just spray the white half of the bus when this is fixed, and that would eliminate 90% of the paint issues I mentioned. -A few of the window gaskets could used replacement. The ones that I would do are the 2 front windows. They are $35 each. It has around 103,000 miles according to the odometer. It is a blast to drive. I prefer that the buyer pick it up in person and pay cash. This way, there is no doubts or surprises. It can be shipped at the owners arrangement and expense. Payment is due IN FULL within 2 weeks of auctions close. |

Volkswagen Group previews its wares on eve of Geneva show
Mon, 05 Mar 2012The Volkswagen Group is comprised of 11 brands producing 240 vehicles across 49 factories throughout the world. So the best way to show off the range of the VW family is to cram a few thousand journalists and VIPs into a massive makeshift stand to outline the Group's goals, what's in the pipeline and what you'll be able to buy later this year.
To that end, VW pulled out all the stops on the eve of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, bringing along 10 vehicles from across the range. We'll be delving into the details of each over the next two days of show coverage, but before that happens, you can read all about what we saw tonight from the cheap seats after the break.
Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe Concept is an aspirational Jetta
Mon, 21 Apr 2014Meet the Volkswagen baby CC. Okay, that's not really it's name (VW calls it the New Midsize Coupe Concept), but this sleek, four-door coupe draws more than a little inspiration from the CC while riding on VW's MQB platform.
It's a looker, we think, and is an eye-pleasing departure from the bland styling of the current Jetta. The sleeker front end is complemented by a wider body overall (it's wider than a Passat), while the more sporting roofline and the sharp rear fascia gives the New Midsize Coupe a decidedly sporting character. LED head- and taillights add a bit more personality to this already stylish design.
Thanks to its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, it should get along rather sportingly, as well. The run to 62 miles per hour takes just 6.5 seconds thanks to the 217 horsepower on offer. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is also fitted, and contributes to an estimated 37 miles per gallon.
VW builds 250,000th Passat in Chattanooga in just two years
Sun, 26 May 2013It hasn't been without incident or union organizing drive, but the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, TN has built its 250,000 Passat in just a little over two years. The Night Blue Passat TDI with black leather has come just two years and five weeks after the first customer car came off the line on April 18, 2011.
In the last year the plant operated at the 150,000-unit capacity that it was intended for, but the downturn in Passat sales and subsequent worker layoffs mean it will be a challenge to repeat the feat. The plant does have the world's largest solar park, though, and you can't take that away from them.
You'll find the official hand-clapping in the press release below.
