1979 Vw Westfalia Deluxe Camper - Beautiful Inside And Out! Roadtrip Ready! on 2040-cars
Newport News, Virginia, United States
Please see full picture album here: http://imgur.com/a/YvU7B Willing to ship worldwide, and I can deliver to Port of Norfolk VA. Up for sale is our beautiful 1979 VW Westfalia Deluxe Camper! It is in excellent shape with no known issues. As you can see from the photos, it has been very well cared for, and we have done lots of work on this great bus. We have had the bus since 2008, and taken her on many road trips and camping trips across Virginia, North Carolina, and West Virginia. In the past three weeks she has gone on camping in Powhatan Co, and Lake Anna, both trips 100% trouble free. The bus is located at my house in Newport News, VA 23608.
The body was painted just before we purchased it, and is holding up great. At the same time they replaced the pop-top tent. There are no dents or dings, but just a scratch on the passenger door (see photo) and a tiny rust spot on the driver door (see photo). According to the previous owner, there was a dent that was fixed on the passenger side rear corner, but it does not show.
We have done a TON to improve the comfort and looks of the bus. Here is a list of some of the features and improvements this bus has:
-very strong running engine (42k on odometer, but probably 142 or 242) -recent tune up with new plugs and wires -recent timing job -recent valve adjustment -recent brake job- Stops fast and strait -new Kenwood (KDC-258U) CD player with aux input and USP port - new 6.5 Kenwood Excelon door speakers - new 3-way Pioneer speakers in rear cabin -new front door panels -new front kick panels -new VA state inspection (4/15) -deluxe refrigerator – Works great -new deep cycle battery for the fridge and camping gear -recently new starting battery -new front cabin rubber mat -New walkthrough mat -New Westfalia fabric front seat covers -Rear bench/mattress and upper mattress recently steam cleaned -childs cot for front cabin area (not pictured because it was in my garage) -complete original curtain set -original front privacy curtain -rear hatch mosquito screen -cabinets recently laminated. Looks perfect! -New fire extinguisher -Good tires with tons of tread -New carpet installed in rear cabin and around seats -Rare front table -Cool table mount for outside of bus. Allows the large table to be set up outside when camping -Full propane tank -Full size spare tire with tons of tread
Although this is an amazing bus, here are a few things that should be addressed at some point:
-Driver door just started not opening when interior handle is pulled. This is due to the speaker and door panel install. It is a very easy fix, but you have to take to panel off. -Scratch and rust mark previously mentioned, plus minor paint blemishes here and there. -sink leaks when using city water. It works perfectly on the tanked water. -One interior light doesn't work. It’s likely the bulb. -Front windshield seal needs replacing. I have ordered a new one, and it is included in the sale. -key is worn out a bit and locking some doors from the outside can be tricky
All in all this a great bus ready for your summer road trip. I am available most of the time to show the bus if enough notice is given. Please give me a call or shoot me a text message to set up an appointment to see her. You will not be disappointed!
Thank you,

2023 New York Auto Show Live Updates: Hyundai's surprise, Nissan's super stand, '24 Wrangler
Tue, Apr 4 2023The 2023 New York International Auto Show shifts into high gear Wednesday, April 5, and our reporters are already in the city, with events unfolding even as we speak. We'll being seeing cars in person, interviewing automaker insiders and snapping photos of vehicles and all the other oddities that pop up at an event like this and we'll be giving you live updates and color from the show floor along the way. Ram, Hyundai, Subaru, Kia, VW and Jeep are all expected to show something new this week, and other automakers are known to be hosting off-site events that may produce news — expected or otherwise. Genesis has already revealed its GV80 Coupe, for example, along with the fact that it has been confirmed as a production model. And we're just getting started. Read on below for our observations from the show floor and points beyond: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

VW chair says component cost decrease keeps him confident of EV success
Tue, Mar 25 2014Volkswagen AG is in the middle of implementing a comprehensive electric vehicle strategy, one that we've been documenting for a long time. The Group stands ready to offer dozens of plug-in vehicles in the coming years if it feels there is sufficient demand and believes that selling a million EVs in Germany by 2020 is reasonable. That would be a solid number, but remember that VW sold over 5,923,000 passenger cars around the world last year, and the group as a whole sold over 9.7 million. At the company's annual Media Conference and Investor Conference in Berlin recently, the chairman of the board of VW AG - surrounded by some decidedly non-green examples of the VW Group's vehicles (some absurd new Bugatti, for example) - took some time to put the company's EV plans into focus. The upshot is that Dr. Martin Winterkorn is still guiding his electromobility ship into new waters, saying that "many more [plug-in] models will follow." Winterkorn said there are three main reasons he is confident in the ability of VW (and Audi and Porsche, at the very least) to push EV sales upward. Batteries are getting better, he said, and if the ranges can be extended, then customers are happy. But the real secret lies in reducing component costs. He said (as translated): It is important to look at the cost of the components: the battery technology, the electric motor and the electric components. Whenever you go into volume production, you of course have economies of scale. In two to three years' time, if we are able to achieve the goals we are setting for ourselves with cost and reach sufficient volume, I do believe that we can achieve two to three percent [market share] within VW Group. So, hitting a million EVs by 2020 is reachable. With the e-Golf and the e-Up off to excellent sales starts, we're willing to be confident as well.
The mood at this year’s Paris Motor Show: Quiet
Tue, Oct 2 2018The Paris Motor Show, held every other year in the early fall, typically kicks off the annual cavalcade of automotive conclaves, one that traverses the globe between autumn and spring, introducing projective, conceptual and production-ready vehicle models to the international automotive press, automotive aficionados and a public hungry for news of our increasingly futuristic mobility enterprise. But this year, at the press preview days for the show, the grounds of the Porte de Versailles convention center felt a bit more sparsely populated than usual. This was not simply a subjective sensation, or one influenced by the center's atypically dispersed assemblage of seven discrete buildings, which tends to spread out the cars and the crowds. There were not only fewer new vehicles being premiered in Paris this year, there were fewer manufacturers there to display them. Major mainstream European OEM stalwarts such as Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Nissan and Volkswagen chose to sit out Paris this year, as did boutique manufacturers like Bentley, Aston Martin and Lamborghini. This is not simply based in some antipathy on the part of the German, British and Italian manufacturers toward the French market — though for a variety of historical and societal reasons that market may be more dominated by vehicles produced domestically than others. Rather, it is part of a larger trend in the industry. Last year, Mercedes-Benz announced that it would not be participating in the flagship North American International Auto Show in 2019 — and that it might not return. Other brands including Jaguar/Land Rover, Audi, Porsche, Mazda and nearly every exotic carmaker have also departed the Detroit show. Some of these brands will still appear in the city in which the show is taking place, and host an event offsite, to capitalize on the presence of a large number of reporters in attendance. And even brands that do have a presence at the show have shifted their vehicle introductions to the days before the official press opening in an attempt to stand out from the crowd. In many ways, this makes sense. With an expanding number of automakers, with diversification and niche-ification of models and with wholesale shifts that necessitate the introduction of EV or autonomous sub-brands, there is a growing sense that, with everyone shouting at the same time, no one can be heard.
