1976 Volkswagen Westfalia Camper Bus-Nice!


Up for sale is a really nice 1976 VW Westfalia Camper Bus.  It's an ALL original bus will the green plaid interior seats, sleeps 4 comfortably (upper and lower seat/fold down bed), and original AM/FM Radio still in dash!  Automatic Transmission shifts great and brakes recently serviced with new pads/drums.  Original VW green carpet kit throughout the van still intact and kitchen cabinet area with sink.  This VW Bus was brought over from San Diego, California 10 years ago.  I have receipts and records to follow with van throughout its history.  

Exterior:
The bus is in great shape. It was repainted by the previous owner to match factory original green and it looks stunning!  There are small imperfections, dents and scratches but nothing significant or easily noticeable. This bus is almost 40 years old and in amazing condition for the age. It has been stored inside since I've had it.  All the glass is original (couple nicks on windshield) and the doors open and close with ease. 

Interior:
The ALL ORIGINAL INTERIOR is in good used condition.  The front seat edges is showing some wear.  A few nicks here and there on the furniture.  Also it appears the sink faucet head was replaced with newer one.  Original green curtain set 360 degrees.  Slide in table also included with sale.  

The Engine:
The engine is the pancake VW 4 Cylinder 2.0 Liter, replaced by the previous owner 6 years ago.  It runs strong and the transmission shifts smoothly.  Converted to carb last year and I like it!  

The Good:
This classic VW Bus is in great shape and could be easily taken to VW Shows/Events or left as a daily driver or used for camping trip. It doesn't have any significant rust which is remarkable for it age.  It drives and shifts better that any other bus I've ever driven. They all seem to be a little finicky but this one it really straight forward and relatively easy to drive. The light and turn signals works as they should.  All tires and original rims in good condition and currently don't need any attention.  VW hubcaps and all chrome handles are shiny and looks really sharp!  

Things to do in near future:
This is a 37 year old vehicle so not everything look brand new. There are small imperfection in the interior and exterior. The gas gauge flickers at times but I was told this is an easy fix.  The canvas should be replaced since its original so I'm including a BRAND NEW Canvas and Gasket for the new owner ($550 value).  I purchased from Bus Depot two weeks ago. I took the rear white bumper off to sand and repaint but liked it actually without since its so clean in the back.  This bus does have minor room for improvement but is in amazing condition given the age.

This is a no reserve auction and the winning bidder drives away with an amazing all original VW Camper Bus with years of enjoyment ahead.  If you have any ?'s, feel free to email me and I will respond asap!  Also, I encourage inspections so I'll be available for showings in sunny Wilmington, NC.  

NOTE: NO INTERNATIONAL BIDDING.  US FUNDS ACCEPTED-CASH, CERTIFIED BANK CHECK, OR WIRE.  As soon as payment is received and cleared, title will be shipped to new owner.

Volkswagen formally introduces super-efficient XL1

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Lightweight and low drag are hallmarks of great sportscar design. But when paired with a super-efficient, hybrid powertrain, you have the Volkswagen's XL1 that has been formally introduced in Geneva today.
When the 1,700-lb, carbon-fiber-bodied two-seater hits the road, its claimed 261 miles per gallon will make it the world's most-fuel-efficient production car. Though "production car" might be a stretch since VW said in a February press release that the XL1 would be built using "handcrafting-like production methods." We translate that to mean you won't be seeing many of these cars on the road. Though no one at VW has mentioned pricing yet, early rumors suggested a six-figure price tag.
That's supercar budget for a vehicle that has a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder diesel engine and a 27hp electric motor. With numbers like that, owners can expect 0-62 mph times of 12.7 seconds and top speed near 100 mph.

Former Audi chief designer Wolfgang Egger leaves Italdesign

Sat, Dec 27 2014

The latest word from the international community of automotive designers has it that Wolfgang Egger is leaving Italdesign, but just where the accomplished designer will land next and who will take his place remain big question marks. Egger is a designer who has bounced back and forth between Italy and Germany over the course of his career. He was born in Germany but studied in Milan. He began his career at Alfa Romeo in 1989 and was named its chief designer by 1993 before being head-hunted by the Volkswagen Group in 1998 to head up the design department at Seat. A few years later he went returned to Italy to run the Lancia design department, and was subsequently renamed to the same post at Alfa Romeo. In 2007 he went back to his native Germany to head up the Audi design office, over which he assumed complete responsibility by 2012, but left Audi in 2013 to run Italdesign. For those unfamiliar, Italdesign is the studio founded by Giorgetto Giugiaro (pictured at left next to Egger) back in 1968 but which, along with many other Italian design houses, fell on hard times in recent years. The Volkswagen Group swooped in to rescue the troubled studio in 2010, turning it into something of an in-house advanced design department to provide an alternative perspective on the direction in which the group and its various brands could take their respective designs moving forward. With Egger now leaving its helm, Italdesign and its German parent company will need to find his replacement, and we're sure they'll announce one in due course. The bigger question on our minds, however, is where Egger himself will head next. Given the path his career has taken to date, we wouldn't be surprised to see him land elsewhere in the Volkswagen Group or find a new role in the expanding Fiat Chrysler Automobiles empire. Then again, Egger could find it time to open an entirely new chapter. Watch this space.
