Today we are offering for your consideration on this 1971 Volkswagen Bus Vanagon Westfalia Camper. Let's let the pictures do the talking on this CLASSIC BUS. This van is 42 years old and look brand new! I bought this camper about 9 years ago. It was purchased in Germany by a Navy Sailor. He used it there and then in Japan while serving. He then had it shipped back to the Texas area to use. I have used it on summer nice days and an occasional shore trip. So great to have the top up, under the stars, with the pines in the summer wind. It runs like a top and had it up to 70 or 75 in the highway. The body has NO noticeable scratches or dings/dents. I am very fussy. The paint is somewhat original but some panels have been professionally done. NO BONDO and the color matches perfect. The tires are very good and new shocks. Starts up every time and runs smooth. Chrome is nice too. The top camper was replaced at some time before I bought it. All interior is excellent with no cuts, marks, or damage either. Floor is original and also no messed with like many I have seen. I have to say the van is very mint and original. YOU WILL NOT FIND A CLEANER 1971 WESTFALIA on Ebay. I paid $20,000 grand for it years ago. OK, it dose have an aftermarket Alpine am/fm CD player with 2 speakers mounted flush in wood headliner. All interior door cabinets are fine. Closet door has mirror on back from factory. Van comes with the original tool kit under passenger seat. It also has the hammock that opens when top is up, (we called the condo), and fold out baby cloth hammock that goes from inside windshield to back of seat area. We never used either of these hammocks. I don't think you will find any surprises and I want to state full disclosure. Here's the only things we could find that need minor attention. When going over a big bump the front springs make a type of slight noise. Like they need to be greased. I had fitting greased and still heard the noise. This only happens when it's a large bump. I lived with it because it was minor, has been there all the time I owned it, and no mechanic could fine anything wrong. In fact I had the van fully check just last summer before a 2 day outing and she's fine. Very dependable. One back curtain hold back needs to be replace. The door under sink stop plastic needs to be replace. Sink pump is all there but doesn't work. These are minor things but I am stating all I know. This van has been a lot of fun and only costed me $235 a year to insure for 20 grand replacement value. Also classic registration plates with no fee. This baby, with just a little TLC is almost a show car and will turn every head. People love that VW horn. I hope the buyer has as much fun as we have had with it. Title is clear and I have it. Buyer takes full responsibility to ship transport. If you are a local buyer just email. If you have to ship I will work with your shipper to help it go smooth. We are a guitar shop and this VW looked great in the driveway. Everyone stop just to look. Included is a full new type cover and tent off of sliding door I think factory.

Translogic and the yearly CES glorious gadget geekout go together like digital peanut butter and high-def jelly. At this year's show, surrounded by an egg-shaped Mercedes-Benz concept and the re-introduction of, of all things, the Sony Walkman, we had some fun. Between talking with Volkswagen about its new gesture-control tech and flying some video drones, we squeezed in some time to shred on ZBoard's new electric skateboard. The future is now.

Car and Driver shows off awesome 1960s ads

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Someone must have recently rediscovered the keys to the archives at Car and Driver, and the access has been put to good use. Following last month's fantastic look at automotive ads from the '50s, there's now a new gallery running from March 1960 through December 1969. This collection provides a great overview of a decade full of iconic cars. If you're a fan of Carroll Shelby, particularly his Mustangs, then there's a lot to love among this group. One ad from July 1965 aimed to sell the GT350, but with an ocean of text and a tiny picture, it probably could've used a once-over by Don Draper's team. By December '65, the copywriters ironed out the problems with a spot proclaiming boldly "Shelby GT350 is 'Son of Cobra.'" The company offered some great accessories, too. For those into European motoring, there's a humorous attempt to sell the Alfa Romeo Giulia as both a racecar and family hauler. Toyota also boasts about the winning record for the 2000GT. Among the best text comes from BMW for lines like: "What's BMW got? The most advanced high-performance engine in any production car, for a cruising speed of 100 mph." Of course, Volkswagen's famous "Lemon" ad for the Beetle also gets its due here. Separately, each of these ads is fascinating, but taken together they tell the story of a great decade of motoring. Go give them all a read at Car and Driver.

Volkswagen rules out more potent Polo R

Wed, Dec 10 2014

Volkswagen may be planning ever more powerful versions of its Golf, but don't expect that lust for power to trickle down to the smaller Polo anytime soon as the German automaker has reportedly ruled out the prospect of making a Polo R. This according to Autovisie, the automotive section of Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, in speaking to VW representatives at the launch of the new Polo GTI. Where the previous Polo GTI offered 177 horsepower, the new one packs 189 and is available with either a six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The company briefly offered a Polo WRC Street with 220 horsepower, but that was only for a limited edition that Autovisie says will not be repeated for mainstream production. Which may just be for the best, as far as we're concerned, as no versions of the Polo are offered in the US, and we don't need yet another piece of forbidden fruit we can't get our hands on. The decision may seem at odds with the Polo R WRC rally machine with which Volkswagen has been dominating the World Rally Championship for the past two seasons, but was likely made in order to keep the Polo from infringing on Golf territory. VW currently offers the Golf GTI with 210 horsepower and the Golf R with 292, and showcased an even more powerful version with nearly 400 hp.
