1971 Westfalia Campmobile - Type II - Bay Window Bus.
I have had this van since the mid-1990's and have a pile of receipts as
well as a clean title and current registration. I was told I was the
"third or fourth" owner since original purchase, but have no way to
verify this. This bus has taken me all over the Western United States
and has endured all sorts of driving conditions, including dirt roads,
mountain passes, and remote campgrounds. Yes, the bus went to those
concerts too. Please no jokes about the stickers - I was in college,
what do you expect!
The engine is your standard 1600cc Dual Port and is not from original release. The transmission was overhauled in the late 1990's by Volks' Cafe in Santa Cruz (now Van Cafe). The current engine was overhauled a few years ago and has less than 10,000 miles on it. Most of the camper stuff is there, though the tent and tent poles are missing. There are two front seat kid cots, one mosquito net, one stool, upper cot, and the ice box/sink, and the original curtains. The bus is tired and needs attention it has been driven about three times a month since August 2013. Earlier this year the following new parts were installed: clutch, starter, coil, voltage regulator, battery, generator, and a few other tune-up related things were done at the same time, such as fuel filter, plug wires, etc. The van has been regularly maintained and is in decent shape. The problems: missing rear bumper, missing camping tent/poles, dents/damage at front driver corner, back left corner, and side behind sliding door. There is rust along bottom of front window, along water trap, and at damaged areas. There is some rust on foot pan, mostly on drivers side. The canvas is torn/missing, the canvas on upper cot is brittle, and there is minor damage to camping interior and upholstery. The front seats need to be redone/replaced. Driver side door lock jams. No brights. Needs a new steering box but drives/steers as-is with minimal problems. Other minor issues exist and van is SOLD AS-IS. Manufactured by Westfalia Werke K-G, West Germany. |

Europeans get first crack at new Golf Variant wagon
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Just last week, when we brought you news of a new Volkswagen Golf variant out and testing in Europe, we had no idea we were being so literal with out description. For it seems that VW has every intention of calling its new Golf wagon, making its Geneva debut, the "Golf Variant."
Odd/interesting sobriquets taken as read then, there's a lot to like about this new small wagon from VW. The Variant will shed some 232 pounds in this generation, and will come to market with two efficient TDI engines. Volkswagen isn't giving us displacement figures for either yet, but we're told the diesels will come with outputs of 110 and 150 horsepower. The 110-hp TDI BlueMotion Varient will be good for a whopping 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle, when mated to the six-speed manual transmission.
The German automaker has brought along an all-wheel-drive 4Motion version of the Gold Variant to bow in Geneva, as well, and a natural gas-burning TGI BlueMotion is said to be "in the pipeline."
Skoda racing Up! to Worthersee with Citigo Rally concept
Thu, 17 May 2012If you thought the Volkswagen Group was about to wind down the endless stream of concept cars based on the new Up! city car, think again. Because not only is the Volkswagen brand itself keeping the train a-moving, so are its sister brands.
Skoda has its own version of the Up called the Citigo. But what racing fans know the Czech subsidiary for best is its rally program that has become a dominant force in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge and the basis for VW's own foray into the World Rally Championship. Now Skoda is bringing the two together with an exciting concept car previewed by the rendering above and confirmed in the press release below.
Following in the footsteps of the tantalizing Fabia roadster unveiled last year, the Citigo Rally concept is to be the centerpiece of the Skoda display at the Volkswagen Group's annual hot-hatch gathering at Lake Wörthersee in Austria. Details are scarce, but the show car will feature rally-inspired bodywork complete with 18-inch white alloys packed into aggressively flared wheel arches, a substantial rear wing and vents aplenty.
1000-hp Mk1 VW Golf is terrifyingly cool
Tue, 04 Jun 2013There are plenty of things to love about the Mk1 Volkswgen Golf. The machine's horsepower isn't one of them. From the factory, the little hatch cranked a breathy 112 horsepower from the most robust form of its 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. Boba motoring, however, has taken that figure and multiplied it by a factor of nearly 10. If 1,000 horsepower sounds terrifying in a machine with a wheelbase of just 94.5 inches, it should. A massive Garrett GTX4202R turbo force-feeds the little mill through a tweaked 16-valve KR head. The crew calls the beast the 16Vampir, and we think that's fitting.
Of course, we'd wager you quit reading right about the time you set your eyes on that headline. Those of you who've stuck around this long can point yourselves below to see the maniacal creation in action. You won't be disappointed.
