Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States

You are bidding on a 1972 Volkswagen Type 23 Kombi camper van, with 64k miles. This van is outfitted with a custom interior, designed around the Westfalia style camper set up, along with many other upgrades. The headliner, front seat upholstery, and interior panels are TMI brand, VW reproduction in gray. The rear seat and bed cushions are custom made with a very good color match. The cabinets are made from high end marine grade plywood, finished in its natural color. The double burner propane stove is mounted above the ice chest. To gain access to the ice chest you step on the foot peddle and a hydraulic system raises the stove. (See photos) To lower the stove you press the foot peddle and push the stove down. The stove can also be removed and placed on a folding stand (included) to cook outside (see photos). Heat is provided by a Mr. Heater portable radiant heater witch can also be removed to be used outside. The small portable toilet located below the heater can also be removed and placed in a more "privet" area of your campsite. The back seat and fold out bed can be lowered into the bed configuration or locked back into a seat very easily and only takes a few seconds. Underneath the rear seat / bed is more storage (see photos).  Alongside the bed on the driver’s side are two more cabinets with plenty of room for storage. Above the bed, (see photos), is a storage shelf for bedding and curtains. Two complete set of curtains are included. The red plaid set shown in the photos, along with a gray set. Next to the stove is a small sink with soap dispenser, and a hand pump water faucet. Fresh water and gray water connection are located outside just behind the driver’s side door. Fresh water is supplied by a MSR bladder connected by a hose. I would lay the bladder underneath the bus to keep it in the shade. Gray water is directed away from bus by a garden hose. Underneath the sink is more storage space with the included red plates, bowls, cups, and cookware. (See photo) A Panasonic #CQ-VAD9300U radio/TV/CD players is tucked in the stock hole for the radio. On top of the bus is a Wingard brand retractable antenna. I have also installed a digital to analogue converter so the TV stations will work. The rest of the dash is all stock and in good condition. Also mounted above the sliding door is a Shadyboy brand fold out awning (See Photos).  The engine is a 2 liter 914 with single carb and 009 distributor. The engine was rebuilt completely less than 1000 miles ago, and runs and drives great. The transmission was rebuilt approximately 4000 miles ago. A second RV deep cycle battery with a disconnect is installed in the engine compartment with a battery charger for long weekends. Next to the stove is a small inverter to power small electronics and charge your phone. All of the door and compartment seals have been replaced with new seals. The front windshield was also replaced with a brand new unit. The body is in good condition. Some body work was performed on the front of the bus before I purchased it and is behind the Spare tire. The frame was under coated at one point and has prevented any undercarriage rust. The frame and body works has close to no rust.  Some of the undercoat has come off in the wheel wells and exposed the frame paint (see photo). The sliding door lower slide is in great condition with no rust and the door slides smooth. The bus was repainted at one point most likely in the 80’s. The paint and rest of the body has some small scratches and nicks and such, but all in all, it's in good condition. The louvered windows work but are in need of some new seals. The lock is missing from the external handle on the passenger door, but all the other locks work. This is a great little camper bus.  It has been stored inside for last 10 years, and has not been used it, so it’s time for it to go to a new home. The tires, shocks, drive shafts, CV joints, brakes, tie rods, and exhaust were all replaced with new components about 10 years ago, and only have about 4000 miles on them. Buyer is responsible for any and all shipping costs.  Payment through PayPal only.  Email with any questions. (questions will be answered during Tuesday-Friday 11am-6pm, and Saturday 11am-4pm -central standard time)

Top 10 small cars with the longest total driving range

Thu, Mar 19 2015

Editor's Note: Since this article was originally posted in the spring of 2015, much has changed in the automotive landscape, especially among those shopping for small car economy. With thanks to Volkswagen for their blatant cheating – and subsequent cover-up – on diesel emissions, the largest player in the diesel passenger car segment isn't playing – they're paying; billions are going for both car buybacks and federally-imposed penalties. And for a few VW execs there exists the very real possibility of jail. With the absence of a big player and the abrupt entrance – via Chevy's new Bolt – of an affordable EV with 200+ miles of range, we've limited the diesel listings to Jaguar's new XE. And for those wanting an updated look at efficiency and range, Autoblog has it – or the EPA has it. Long before electric vehicles were part of the mainstream conversation, car lovers and skinflints alike would boast about the total range of their vehicles. There's something about getting farther down the road on one tank of gas that inflames the competitive spirit, almost as much as horsepower output or top speed. Of course, the vehicles with the very best range on today's market are almost all big trucks and SUVs; virtually all have the ability to carry massive reserves of fuel. Top up a standard Chevy Suburban and you can expect to travel almost 700 miles (you'll need to stop before the Suburban stops...), while a diesel-fed Jeep Grand Cherokee manages almost as many. But what about vehicles that are smaller? The EPA has, essentially, three classifications for 'small' vehicles: Minicompact, Subcompact and Compact. All three are measured based on interior volume, meaning that some cars with rather large exterior dimensions and engines slot in next to traditional small cars. But even though impressive GT coupes from Porsche, Bentley and Mercedes-Benz may have much larger gas tanks to feed their powerful engines, that capacity is offset by higher rates of consumption... in most cases. We used the EPA's Fuel Economy Guide for model year 2017 cars as a start, calculating the official highway miles per gallon rating with each vehicle's tank capacity. The resulting numbers aren't necessarily real world, but they do offer a spectrum for total theoretical range. The eventual top ten surprised me on a few occasions, and comprised quite a varied list of vehicles. 10.

Volkswagen says goodbye to Eos, Routan in 2015 updates

Wed, Jul 23 2014

Usually automakers announce changes to their lineup individually on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis, but sometimes it all comes at once – especially when the changes are ones we either expected or might not otherwise notice. That's the path Volkswagen has gone with changes to its US lineup for 2015. The biggest change is what we already knew: that the new Golf arrives for the 2015 model year, bringing with it the new GTI, Golf R, e-Golf and Golf SportWagen (to replace the previous Jetta wagon). But there are some new details as well. For starters, Volkswagen has finally confirmed that both the Eos and the Routan – both long rumored to be on their way out – will be exiting this year. The Eos hardtop convertible, pictured above, will linger for one last year, its Sport trim replaced by a new Final Edition with 18-inch wheels, two-tone leather interior and enhanced equipment. Meanwhile the Routan, which hasn't actually been built in over a year, is finally dead, as VW confirms it has dropped the Chrysler-built minivan from its lineup for 2015 altogether. The German automaker has also confirmed that the Touareg is getting a facelift early in the new year, which we expect will closely follow the revisions revealed a few months ago ahead of the Beijing Motor Show. Finally VW has announced an upgrade to its 2.0-liter TDI. Fitted to the Golf, Jetta, Passat and Beetle, the updated diesel gets 10 more horsepower with output now up to 150 hp and 236 pound-feet of torque. Scope out the full list of announcements in the press release below. MODEL YEAR 2015: NEW GOLF FAMILY, REDESIGNED JETTA, AND NEW TDI® CLEAN DIESEL ENGINE HEAD THE CHANGES Jul 22, 2014 In a busy year, Volkswagen will also add a new Golf SportWagen, an all-new Golf R, a redesigned Touareg SUV, and the company's first U.S.-market EV, the e-Golf - All-new Golf is bigger, lighter, and more fuel-efficient than the previous model, seats five, and has a larger trunk than any midsize sedan - New Golf GTI has 210-horsepower engine, with improved fuel efficiency and performance - e-Golf is Volkswagen's first full Battery Electric Vehicle for sale in the U.S.

Audi CVT suit settlement given green light, 64,000 cars covered

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

Audi drivers, listen up. If you bought or leased a 2002-06 model-year A4 or A6 with a factory-installed Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) that failed, you may be entitled to reimbursement under a recently settled class-action lawsuit with corporate parent Volkswagen.
According to Automotive News, the settlement covers about 64,000 vehicles and alleges that "manufacturing and design problems caused the transmissions to fail and left owners stuck with repair costs." While the suit also argues Audi was aware of these issues (going so far as to hide that knowledge from consumers), the settlement stops short of acknowledging any wrongdoing by the German automaker.
Audi drivers are eligible for a cash reimbursement if their CVT repairs occurred within 10 years or 100,000 miles of the date they bought or leased the vehicle before June 19, 2013. To be eligible for compensation, drivers must submit a claim form (found here) with supporting documents by November 18.
