1972 VW WESTFALIA "WESTY" Van - nice condition, mostly restored & painted a few years back - see details below. Mileage is almost 134,000. It's a two-tone beige/white color scheme. It's not  perfect as it has a few exterior blemishes but is very nice overall and turns heads wherever it goes. It has an open floor plan inside - what you see is what's included.

The interior is in great condition and has been completely redone - see below. The exterior is in very nice condition, but has couple dings where we backed into something above and below the passenger side rear tail light. It could be fixed pretty easily by a body shop, but we did not choose to do so. There is a crack in the paint on the front as well. Any rust on the van is very minor "pitting" on a couple edges....you can see all of the above in the pictures. Undercarriage is in nice condition.

Misc. Details:

-New clutch and pilot bearing last year. Good tires, brakes, etc.
-Starts up every time, runs well, manual 4-speed transmission shifts great.
-New hardwood flooring and all new upholstery throughout the interior
-New hardshell camper top, and new canvas surround
-New suspension, CD player and new speakers
-Seat belts (4) in front AND rear
-Rear seat folds out into a good size bed. Also has a spot for a small canvas "cot" in the roof.
-Complete with cool stickers/decals in the window ;)
-Runs very well....and takes you back in time!!

We've had it about a year and a half, and it sits way more than it gets driven. It's ready for a new owner who can drive it more often. Email through this listing or call 540-379-8951. I reserve the right to end the auction early do to a local sale. Thanks for looking!

Toyota reclaims global sales crown, GM and VW not far behind

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

TheDetroitBureau.com reports Toyota has retaken the global sales crown. The Japanese automaker turned out 9.75 million vehicles last year, putting it just ahead of General Motors, with 9.29 million vehicles. Volkswagen, meanwhile, filled out the podium by building 9.1 million units in 2012.
Still, Toyota numbers fell just below projections the automaker made earlier in the year, due largely to a fierce territorial dispute between Japan and China that has seen mainland buyers shun Japanese goods. But the news marks a substantial comeback for Toyota. The company fell to third place in the global production race in 2011 after tragic earthquake and tsunami caused several plant closures.
In Japan, Toyota enjoyed a sales increase of 35 percent over the previous year, while the company's worldwide sales jumped by 23 percent thanks in part to new additions to the Prius line. The automaker is forecasting yet another increase for 2013, with the company projecting to reach 9.91 million units this year. Neither Volkswagen nor GM have released their own projections just yet.

Volkswagen hatches hotter GTI in Geneva

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

The all-new seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't even launched here in the United States, but over in Geneva, we're already getting our first glimpse at the hotter GTI hatchback. The fancy new Mk VII Golf is already off to a healthy start with positive reviews in Europe, and we have no doubt that this next GTI will work hard to regain its title as king of the hot hatches.
The big news for this generation of GTI is that for the first time ever, Volkswagen is actually offering two different power grades for the model, both relying on the 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four. Standard cars pack 220 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, but an optional performance pack ups the horsepower number to 230. Hitting 60 miles per hour takes 6.5 seconds (6.4 with the performance pack) and top speed is quoted at 153 mph (or 155 with the performance kit). Volkswagen will continue to offer the GTI with both six-speed manual and dual-clutch transmissions.
On the visual front, the sub-3,000-pound GTI adds the usual bit of hot hatch aggression over the standard Golf, and those changes carry over to the interior with a flat-bottomed wheel and, of course, plaid seats. She's certainly a looker, and while some of us do find the new Golf's design to be a bit staid and evolutionary, the enhancements for the GTI indeed tug on our enthusiast heart strings.

Anti-union group files lawsuit against VW and UAW

Fri, 14 Mar 2014

The fight for unionization at Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN, factory isn't letting up. Yesterday, the National Labor Relations Board decided to allow anti-United Auto Workers employees at the plant the right to defend voting down the measure. Now, a group called the National Right to Work Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of five workers against VW and the UAW for allegedly working together to organize.
The group says in a release that it wants "to block further collusion between the company and the United Auto Workers." It alleges that VW forced workers to attend "mandatory pro-union meetings" and prevented managers from opposing. In a rebuttal on its website, the UAW called the claims "baseless" and said its actions were entirely legal.
One possible problem faces the carmaker in regards to the lawsuit. According to the Detroit Free Press, a recent US Court of Appeals ruling found that neutrality agreements like the one the business had with the UAW could be illegal if the company provided "things of value" to the union. The newspaper also claims that VW held a mandatory employee meeting concerning the election, but workers were free to leave during the UAW's presentation.
