1977 VW Westfalia
Runs and Drives Excellent
This Westy was part of an estate and has been stored in a heated warehouse since 1996. It is clean and virtually rust free. The odometer shows 56,504 miles. The engine was overhauled to the tune of $3000.00 at 56,479 miles in 1996 (have receipt) so the engine has about 25 miles on it.
I had it towed to a reputable VW mechanic shop and had them go through the bus and get it running. They drained the gas, replaced the fuel pump and filter, cleaned injectors, new plugs, inspected brakes, put new bushing in the shift linkage and installed correct 185R14 light truck tires. A good spare tire was bolted to the front and a new battery installed. The owner of the shop said the bus is clean enough that the mileage could be 56k, not 156k. He was very impressed with how rust free the body and undercarriage was. Mechanically the bus is in great shape.
It is also equipped with a DPD air conditioning unit. Although it is not currently working all of the components are there from the compressor to the under dash unit.
The body is in good shape except for a dent in the drivers front. The under side of the bus is excellent with no rust. Floors are excellent. Of course it needs paint, but looks presentable the way it is. One of the slat windows is missing from the sliding door. Looks like a little bit of body work was done on the rear 1/4, but it looks good and is difficult to detect. All of the doors open and close great and the slider works the way it should.
The interior is in good shape and very original. Seats are great except for a small tear in the drivers. Beds are good and the original kids cot is included. All of the original curtains are there including the one that goes around the inside of the windshield for privacy at the campground. Cabinets need some restoration and the original table is missing. All of the gauges work to include fuel gauge. Radio is missing. Has the sink, ice box, and inverter.
The canvas top is the original unit and is in good condition but has some pin holes in the front.
Overall this is a good driver and an excellent candidate for restoration.
Call 719-557-1755 anytime with questions. If you need to see something not covered in the auction photos call and I can text or email what you need.
Unless other arrangements are made through me a $500.00 deposit is due within 24hrs of auction close and I would like full payment within 48hrs.
Thanks!

Volkswagen and Funny or Die take humorous spin in 2015 Golf
Wed, 10 Sep 2014Volkswagen is partnering with Target and Funny or Die in a bizarre ad for the latest Golf starring comedian Rob Huebel, probably best known for his work on Childrens Hospital on Adult Swim.
The commercial is titled The Way Too Helpful Neighbor and stars Huebel as the eponymous neighbor. The challenge is for Huebel to help improve his buddy's apartment before the guy meets his girlfriend's parents for the first time. The obvious way to do that is to slide a new Golf through an actual Target in Texas, while simultaneously showcasing the store's goods and the car's features.
The commercial is airing online now and on TBS during breaks in Conan O'Brien's show, with sneak peaks during other programs on the network. Auto advertising is becoming pretty normal for Funny or Die at this point, though, with the site previously partnering with Fiat for several videos. Check out the ad above and see if you think it works. Scroll down for VW's announcement.
Volkswagen planning Up! hybrid model using XL1 powertrain
Sun, 24 Feb 2013Even though we've finally gotten a look at the production version of the 261-mile per gallon Volkswagen XL1, this aero-shaped two-seater was never intended for high-volume sales. Fortunately, it sounds like the same isn't true for the car's diesel plug-in hybrid powertrain, which, according to a report from AutoCar, could make its way under the hood of another Volkswagen model: the Up! minicar (shown above).
A potential Up! Hybrid would likely be able to return some of the same impressive fuel economy numbers as the XL1, but it would be a more realistic car with more passenger space and greater production capacity. The hand-built XL1 will use a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder TDI engine paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the 27-hp electric motor and lithium-ion battery helps deliver an all-electric driving range of 31 miles.
One of the core pillars of the XL1's design is its lightweight construction with a 1752-pound curb weight, which makes the Up! a perfect recipient for using this powertrain since it weighs just 300 pounds more. The report says that the Up! Hybrid is still in the developmental phase, so a production version isn't expected for at least another 18 months.
Volkswagen reveals Beetle GSR, R-Line convertible and two special GTIs
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Volkswagen has chosen to really expand its performance-tuned portfolio at this year's Chicago Auto Show, bringing along a couple of new Beetles destined for model year 2014, as well as a pair of freshened GTI packages that you'll be able to buy almost right away.
The first, and splashiest of the Chicago goodies on the VW stand has got to be the 2014 Volkswagen Beetle GSR. Don't lose your temper, Acura Integra geeks; in this case, GSR stands for "Gelb Schwarzer Renner" or "Yellow Black Racer," and harkens back to a sport-tuned classic Beetle from the 1970s. For the 2014 iteration, the GSR gets a 210-horsepower version of VW's 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder. That engine is enough to push the Beetle to 60 miles per hour in 6.6 seconds, and up to a top speed of 130 mph.
Of course, you'll have long-since noticed the shockingly yellow-and-black livery before you stumble across the Turbo badge on the rear deck. The GSR gets 19-inch alloy wheels, 235-section tires and a tea-tray rear spoiler, but it's the paint and graphics package that will decide if this is your (lemony) cup of tea. Things don't get any subtler inside the car, either, as VW has carried the colorway through to the interior, as well. Only 3,500 Beetle GSRs will be produced, with just more than half of those going to the US - call your dealer today, Wiz Khalifa.
