1976 Volkswagon Westfalia Camper Bus / Transporter on 2040-cars
Oceanside, California, United States
My wife
and I are selling our 1976 VW Camper Bus after owning it for almost 4
years. We are not
the original owners and it has had at least two other owners before us
that we know of. We purchased it off a graduating college student who
was selling it after he graduated. The previous owner
took meticulous care of the bus and traveled all over Central and
South America. This bus has been to the tip of South America! I drive it daily,
mostly to the beach to surf or to the office. It has no current mechanical
issues and is running great. I do not have records as to the last time
the engine or transmission was rebuilt. I do have three crates
of new spare parts that the previous owner gave me. I also have extra
"original" interior fabric, an exterior "vintage" awning
and (3) boxes or misc. new and used parts that comes with it. In the four years
that I have owned it, I have changed the
alternator, regularly changed the oil and get tune ups before road
trips. We take it to a local VW mechanic. The interior is in really good shape
for the age, with most original fabric and features in tacked. The (2) front seat are custom and very comfortable,
they were design for long trips. The speedometer just stopped working. It
has an older cassette radio that I believe has a short because it
works on and off. I was planning on
replacing it with a simple $100 type CD player. It is all wired up with a nice
speaker system. I also has the secondary battery to run lights, interior
fans and the previous owner rigged up a transformer so you can get
210 power to plug in appliances and charge your cell phone. It has a
nearly new stove with the exterior hook ups and the stove gas system works
great. It is starting to get some exterior rust bubbles and spots that
should be dealt with eventually. The pop up camper canvas is in good
shape. Just a great daily driver - ready for trips - not a project but would
not take much to do a full restoration. Call or email with any questions. Chris (760)
990-3499. Buyer to pick up locally or cover all shipping cost. I do have
it also listed on our local San Diego Craigslist for $9.700.00 and so I used
the “buy it now” EBay option so the $9,700.00 price is a first come first serve
option. If it doesn’t sell for the
$9,700.oo first I will let the auction runs its course. |

Prop-driven VW Beetle hopes to land in Bonneville [w/video]
Thu, 10 Jan 2013Sometimes you meet folks who, when they tell you "Hey, I have an idea," your reflex response is to stop what you're doing and tell yourself, "Get ready...." We imagine Mike Niemans is one of those folks, and the idea in question is putting a tank engine on a Type 1 Volkswagen Beetle. Not just any old tank engine - as if there were such a thing when we're talking about putting them in cars - but a 668-cubic-inch, 220-horsepower radial engine built by Continental in 1941 and procured from an M2 tank.
In the image above Nieman is using the tank clutch hub to get the motor set up, but in one of the images below you can see what really belongs back there is: a two-inch, reverse-pitch prop taken from a wind generator. He says there's enough mojo with the propeller action to get the car rolling down the runway like a jet when he gives it gas - and speaking of gas, the engine's been refitted to run on propane.
After a few safety tweaks Nieman's going to take the matte-black Beetle to Bonneville, "put the prop on, let her go and see what happens!" We can't wait to see the video of that. There are two shakedown videos below to get you ready.
VW agrees to halt next-gen rally car development to help others stay in WRC
Sat, 22 Jun 2013Volkswagen has petitioned the FIA to hold on to the current specifications for cars in the World Rally Championship, according to Autosport.com. The move is evidently an effort to keep as many competitors in the sport as possible, despite the fact that using the current spec racers may actually hurt Volkswagen's chances at winning. The three factory teams currently competing in the WRC are at the end of a three-year homologation cycle at the end of 2013, and new cars are expected to bow next year. But developing new racers could cost as much as $4.7 million.
That price tag would put M-Sport (which fields Ford racers) out of the WRC game for 2014 and would put Citroën participation in question as well. VW has already begun work on the next iteration of its Polo R WRC, and the hatch has nabbed four wins in six rounds this season. Now it appears that car won't bow until at least 2015. The FIA has officially agreed to freeze homologation of new WRC cars until the end of next season.
2015 will be the biggest year ever for cars at CES
Fri, Jan 2 2015Like the SEMA Show, major automakers are paying increasing attention to the CES, with 2015 expected to be one of the most auto focused yet. Ford, Volkswagen, Toyota, General Motors, Hyundai, Mazda, Audi, BMW and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will all be in attendance when CES 2015 kicks off next week, taking up a record-breaking 165,000 square feet of space at the Las Vegas Convention Center. "We've come a long way from a single car on a carpet," Ford's Alan Hall told Bloomberg. Unlike SEMA, or a more traditional auto show, like the upcoming festivities in Detroit, CES doesn't necessarily focus on entire cars or the way they perform, but on the way our technology will interact with vehicles, and in how those vehicles will deliver information to drivers. "CES has become a major launch point for a lot of the big automakers," IHS tech analyst Mark Boyadjis told Bloomberg. "CES is a way for them to get on a global stage for technology." As for what kind of wares automakers will trot out in Las Vegas, we already know that BMW will show off an autonomous i3 electric car that can navigate its way through a multistory car park and can be hailed via a smartwatch app. According to Bloomberg, Hyundai will show off its own smartwatch app for the Genesis sedan, while Audi and Mercedes-Benz will show off autonomous vehicles next week. Automakers won't be the only companies looking to capitalize on CES. Tech firms, like chipmaker Nvidia, are becoming increasingly involved in the automotive game and will be in town showing their wares off to OEMs. "Two years ago, our booth would have been filled with PCs and people playing video games," Danny Shapiro, Nvidia's senior director for automotive business, told Bloomberg. "This year we made a strategic decision to shift the focus of the booth on automotive and de-prioritize some of the other things." Needless to say, you can expect to see a lot of news out of Las Vegas come next week. Stay tuned.
