1973 Westfalia - Vw T-2 Bus on 2040-cars
Austin, Texas, United States
It is hard to let go of my dream but I have put a lot of money in to her and she needs a new heart. I bought her from a her second buyer a man in OK a few months ago, she has given me a lot of laughs and some great times, but I think she needs a new motor, which I can't afford. She is has an original interior and could be priced out and you could double your investment.
Good Aspects of buying her. Already replaced all the fuel and vacuum lines, of course oil, plugs wires dist cap rotor etc. replaced front disc brake calipers, discs machines, new pads, a couple new rubber brake hoses that had dried out, rear brake cylinders, seals and brake line. Replaced fuel tank filler hose. We replaced the windshield lip metal with new steel from Germany along with new German windshield and rubber seal. The top has new canvas and rubber seals all around the fiberglass top. The interior, we replaced all the wood floor with new oak plywood before installing the new carpet. The metal floor was perfect. Driver and passenger seats were stripped, premiered painted, replaced padding and covered with new upholstery. New carpet, 5 brand new tires and inspected by VW She has a brand new radio and speakers She has new Rear side marker lights New Rubber on Shocks New Side Mirrors Deluxe Bus & Vanwagon Tarp Cover is included New Rear Hatch Mosquito Screen What I am attaching with her purchase: Complete LEFT & RIGHT Front Door Seal Kit w/German Upgrade bought from busdepot.com Things you should know: There is some rust under battery area and I have not done anything to it yet. Doesn't show from the outside of the vehicle but I know it's there. There is some small areas in the back corners that look like someone had tried to fix a small dent. ( smaller than your hand). I will take real close pictures of those two areas. It's the only place on the bus that I found body filler. Like I said its a small area, can't even see it from two meters. Rubber Windshield washer lines need to be replaced or spliced in. |

VW confirms new TDI for second half of 2014 in Golf, Jetta, Passat and Beetle
Tue, 18 Mar 2014Diesel lovers rejoice. Volkswagen is bringing the latest iteration of its 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel engine - dubbed the EA288 - to the 2015 model year Golf, Jetta, Passat, Beetle (2013 model pictured above) and Beetle Convertible, and the cars will be on sale in the second half of 2014.
While it shares its moniker with the old diesel, the new engine produces 150 horsepower, a 10-hp boost, and 236 pound-feet of torque. VW promises improved fuel economy as well, but it hasn't announced specifically what amount yet. The company claims that despite the same displacement, only the bore spacing is shared with the previous version. The mill includes new features like exhaust gas recirculation, an intercooler integrated into the intake manifold and low-friction camshaft bearings.
VW Group of America has had great success with diesels in the US recently. Vee-Dub and Audi sold 105,899 diesel-equipped models in 2013. It was the first time the group ever sold over 100,000 diesels in a year, and they accounted for 24 percent of sales. Scroll down to read the full press release about the announcement.
China sticking to its guns on EVs for the future
Mon, Apr 27 2015Automakers are obviously free to develop whatever next-gen, zero-emissions tech that they want. However, if a company wants to get on the good side of the Chinese government, that strategy better include some plug-in vehicles. The authorities there are lending major support to plug-ins at the moment, and its forcing the auto industry to play along. According to Bloomberg, Toyota, Volkswagen, Hyundai, and BMW are all launching dedicated EV brands with their joint venture partners, and as many as 40 electric models could hit the Chinese market this year alone. However, analysts don't think the vehicles are going to sell well. Instead, the launches are essentially a way for companies to play nice with the government and help get the approval to build factories in the country. Take Toyota as an example. The company is pushing the future of hydrogen hard with promotional films for the Mirai and engineers talking down fast-charging EVs. Still, the Japanese automaker is getting ready to launch two EV brands in China with its joint venture partners, according to Bloomberg. China's push for alternative fuels has been happening for a while, but it really kicked into high gear last year. The government has set a goal to improve fleet-wide economy by 40 percent by the end of the decade in order to spend less importing oil and for the population's health. The plan has shown some success so far with hybrid and EV sales growing early in 2015.

VW beams in Star Trek stars to promote e-Golf EV
Tue, Oct 7 2014Volkswagen just set its e-mobility commercial phasers on stunning. The German automaker has cast Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock of Star Trek fame (i.e., actors William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy) in a new advertisement for its growing stable of electric vehicles. Even though it's in German, we think you can get the idea. VW went Hollywood and cast the two veteran actors in a futuristic-themed 45-second ad, which sees Shatner cruise up in the e-Golf (with a toothy Trek-fan kid in tow) while Nimoy rocks the XL1 and the Trek theme blares in the background. Forget for a moment that the kid in the commercial wasn't even born when Shatner started pitching for Priceline, let alone the original Trek series and just enjoy the wholesome good humor of Shatner saying that the electric powertrain is just like the one in a spaceship. If you've got any familiarity with Spock, you should be able to understand his punch line, too. Of course, if you'd rather your German vehicle advertisements were set in the Star Wars universe, we recommend clicking here. VW will bring the e-Golf to the states in November at a price of $35,445, about $6,500 higher than the Nissan Leaf's starting pricetag.
