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.

Audi investing $30.3 billion through 2018 for product expansion

Sun, 29 Dec 2013

How does Audi plan to reach two million units in annual sales and pay for the 11 new models it's adding to its lineup - an expansion that may include models named SQ2, Q9 and F-Tron? By increasing its investment to 22 billion euros ($30.3 billion US) between now and 2018. That figure represents an increase of about 500 million euros over the previously planned outlay, according to a report by Automotive News, and that could be due to Audi wishing to goad the momentum that pushed it to 1.5 million annual sales two years ahead of schedule.
It's also about staving off the challenges from BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Now that BMW has been able to turn some of its attention away from its "i" series of Megacity cars, it will reportedly spend more than planned in 2014 as it continues the rollout of ten all-new vehicles and 15 new-generation vehicles through the end of next year. Mercedes, having been dropped to third in the sales race, is preparing to add 13 new cars over the next six years.
Audi's money is going into technology, into product like the next-generation TT and the Q1 and production expansions and upgrades all over the world. The expenditure represents just under a fourth of Volkswagen's 84.2 billion-euro ($115.7 US) outlay devoted to taking the number-one global automaker title away from General Motors and Toyota by 2018.

Production Volkswagen Taigun crossover caught in patent filing?

Wed, 01 May 2013

Volkswagen brought an angular, bulldog-like small crossover concept called Taigun to the São Paulo motor show last year, claiming that it wanted to gauge interest in the design before making a decision about production. If a new report with alleged leaked patent images is to be believed, then, interest must have been pretty high.
China's Auto.Sohu.com has published this group of Taigun images, claiming that they have been sourced from the Chinese patent office and that the subcompact VW utility based on the Up! has been cleared for production.
If all of that is true, and if these images are representative of the final product, you'll see that designers haven't done much to alter the concept car's appearance. Comparing, shot for shot, with the images we have from Brazil, we see that even small details like roof rack-mounted lights and exhaust tips integrated in the rear fascia have been carried over. Take a closer look for yourself in the attached galleries.

New investor allows Suzuki to fend off VW

Tue, Aug 4 2015

After years of legal wrangling, the long-soured partnership between Volkswagen and Suzuki looks finally to be coming out of arbitration, according to Bloomberg. As a sign of the Japanese brand's improved fortunes, hedge fund Third Point LLC recently bought an undisclosed stake in the company. The investor reported seeing a major opportunity in the successful Maruti Suzuki business in India. As an investment, the only major problem that Third Point found with Suzuki was its legal battle with VW. "The company's greatest asset is its low-cost manufacturing process for vehicles for the emerging market consumer," the fund said in a letter, according to Bloomberg. Third Point reportedly also wants a seat on Suzuki's board, despite being a minority shareholder. The alliance between Suzuki and VW goes back to late 2009. In the deal, the Japanese brand was meant to get access to cutting-edge tech, and the German firm got a helping hand towards better establishing itself in India and Southeast Asia. Things didn't go as planned, though. Less than two years later, Suzuki's boss publicly derided the deal. Eventually, the allegations started going back and forth, and the two have been working out a way to untangle practically ever since. Among the biggest issue has been how to get back the 19.9 percent stake that VW purchased. According to Bloomberg, the arbitration is now technically over. With the divorce nearly final, the two sides are just waiting on a decision on how to split things up. Suzuki may even just buy VW's stake to get the shares back.
