1969 Vw Westfalia Pop Top, Montana Red on 2040-cars
Scotts Valley, California, United States
|
1969 Volkswagen Westfalia bus, walk thru, small pop top. The bus has all the original Westfalia interior which is in great condition. It is missing the ice box/ sink. The Z-bed, jump seat and rear cushions have all new foam and were professionally reupholstered in very soft black "pleather." They look terrific and have no rips or flaws. The cargo floor area has no rust and was covered in bamboo flooring. The bus has aftermarket curtains that are very heavy fabric, made for this bus so they fit excellent, and have a great pattern that ties into the colors of the bus. The front seats were recovered with TMI covers and are also in excellent shape with no rips or flaws. The front floors are solid with no rust through whatsoever. The bus has a Pioneer CD/ MP3 player with four JL Audio speakers. The bus has new 205/75/14 tires all around and the factory rims were repainted factory white. New spare tire cover as well. The bus was just repainted the original Volkswagen Montana Red PPG urethane paint on the exterior. There is no rust on the bus and it has never been in a collision. The interior is still the original paint. The bus was originally all red, but is had been painted two tone at some point in it's life. So I had the upper half repainted with VW white, when they painted the Montana Red. The pop top was also painted at that time. The red with the white really stands out. The pop top has a new rubber seal. All of the doors and rear hatch/ engine lid has new rubber. The front and rear window also has new rubber. The bus has new lenses and rubber around the lenses. The pop top canvas is in excellent condition. There is a dime sized tear in the canvas and the front screen has a rip. However, the screen covers are perfect. The motor is a 1835cc with dual 44mm Brosol/ Solex carbs and has a header with single quiet pack muffler. It was just tuned by a VW shop in Santa Cruz. All of the cylinders have compression over 100. The mileage for the bus shows 75,000, but it is unknown what the true mileage is. The motor was in the bus when I bought it and the previous owner told me it had about 6000 miles on it. I have put less than 500 miles on it since I have had it. Transmission shifts very well and it does not pop out of any gears. It still has the factory reduction boxes. The bus is currently registered and I have a clear California title in my name. The bus is in great condition overall and is ready for the summer! I mostly drive it to the beach on weekends and campout once in awhile and it always gets tons of attention! |

Porsche again staring down another $1.8B in hedge fund lawsuits
Wed, 15 May 2013The sequence of events from 2007 that began with Porsche's secret attempt to take over Volkswagen, and instead lead to Porsche being taken over by VW, continues to instigate lawsuits against the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer. A group of hedge funds that suffered over $1 billion in losses sued the car company in New York. Porsche had publicly stated it wasn't trying to buy VW, the hedge funds in question were shorting VW stock, and when Porsche's actual intentions were revealed, the stock shot up and the hedge funds took a beating.
The case was thrown out over the issue of jurisdiction, then appealed, only to see another suit filed on top of that. After that, most of the hedge funds withdrew their claims in New York and Porsche offered a 90-day window to refile in Germany where it is already fighting a number of other suits over the same issue. The hedge funds accepted the offer, refiling in Stuttgart for $1.8 billion in damages. According to Bloomberg, Porsche hasn't commented on the refiling, but as the same plaintiffs are involved, it's safe to assume that the carmaker still feels the case is "unsubstantiated and without merit." It has fared alright so far even in German courts, with two lesser cases against it thrown out last year.
VW Jetta GLI, Peugeot 505 are MotorWeek's 1986 Euro sport sedan alternatives
Tue, Dec 23 2014Video reviews have become a mainstay of automotive journalism, but long before every publication turned on its video cameras and started uploading to YouTube, there was one program that was blazing the trail. That, of course, was MotorWeek, the television car program produced by Maryland Public Television and hosted by the inimitable John Davis. The program first aired back in 1981, and after more than three decades in the business, it's got a considerable archive of old episodes to unearth. In this latest gem recovered from the MotorWeek back catalog, the program pitted two European sports sedans against each other: a Volkswagen Jetta GLI and a Peugeot 505 Turbo. That's right: back in the 1980s, Peugeot was still competing in the US marketplace. The forced-induction 505 may not have been enough to keep the French automaker in American showrooms, but it was enough to stand up against the VW. Which one won MotorWeek's favor? You'll just have to watch the six-minute clip to find out. News Source: MotorWeek via YouTube Volkswagen Peugeot Economy Cars Performance Videos Sedan vw jetta gli
Volkswagen debuts MkVII-based diesel Golf GTD
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As Volkswagen prepares for the launch of the seventh-generation Golf, it continues to show off some of the car's different variants. With the standard Golf and the ultra-efficient BlueMotion Concept out of the way, now we're finally starting to see some of the sportier versions planned for the hatchback. Confirmed for a debut at the Geneva Motor Show, Volkswagen has now given us our first glimpse at the Golf GTD.
Just think of the GTD as a diesel version of the GTI with all the handling and styling upgrades, and then add a torquey engine to the equation. (We had the chance to sample the current GTD over the summer, so click here to read more.) To go with the new body style, VW also gave the GTD a new TDI engine consisting of a similar turbocharged and direct-injected 2.0-liter inline-four layout but with an output of 184 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque - that's an increase of 14 hp and 22 lb-ft over the current GTD. That's a pretty good oomph, but the GTD won't be setting any acceleration records with VW quoting a 0-62 mile per hour time of 7.5 seconds thanks to the car's 3,036-pound curb weight.
The styling of the MkVII Golf lends itself quite well to the more aggressive body kit found on the GTD (and likely matching the GTI). The new front fascia and blacked-out grille give the GTD a sporty look up front, while 17-inch sport wheels, rocker panel extensions and smoked LED taillights finish off the visual changes. The GTD will only be offered in three exterior colors: Tornado Red, Black and Pure White. As expected, the interior gets the plaid seat inserts and flat-bottomed sport steering wheel, but the car also gets stainless steel pedals, a black headliner, ambient cabin lighting and a specific gauge cluster readout.
