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,

Recharge Wrap-up: VW Golf TDI wins green car award, DC buses might go electric

Wed, Jul 23 2014

The 2015 Volkswagen Golf TDI has won the award for 2014 Northwest Green Car or the Year. The distinction comes from the Northwest Automotive Press Association during its Drive Revolution event in Portland. Co-chairman of the event, Jeff Zurschmeide, says, "Volkswagen has led the diesel passenger car market for years, and the Golf TDI proves that they're likely to stay on top for a while." The 2015 Golf TDI has 10 more horsepower than the outgoing model, while improving fuel economy thanks to a new engine. It also has a base price $3,000 lower than the 2014 Golf TDI. Read more in the press release below. The BMW i8 gets its laser high-beam headlights from lighting company Osram. The laser lights use half the energy of their LED counterparts, according to BMW, which is important when one is trying to get every last bit of range out of the car's battery. The laser high beams can also reach about twice as far as LED lighting. Because of their brightness, they won't be available on cars sold in the US. In laser-equipped i8s, the laser high beams will not work below 60 kilometers per hour, nor when other lights are detected in front of the vehicle. Head to Automotive News Europe to read more. Renault has delivered a fleet of 30 Kangoo ZEs to Uruguay's government-owned power company, UTE. The electric fleet will allow the company to reduce its CO2 emissions by 36 metric tons, says Renault. 84 percent of Uruguay's electricity comes from renewable sources, with a goal of 90 percent on the horizon. Uruguay aims to get a third of its electricity from wind farms by 2016, meaning these Kangoo ZEs will be powered in no small part by renewable energy. For Renault, "This order is a further sign of the interest in the region for electric vehicles," according to Denis Barbier, Renault's senior vice president, citing previous deliveries in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and Colombia.

Some of the diesel buses, which were first put to work in 2003, are nearing the end of their life cycle, and DC sees an opportunity to make the switch to something a little greener. "Electric has not been a viable option in previous procurements, but now it is," says Will Handsfield, Georgetown Business Improvement District's transportation director. Handsfield is concerned about air quality, and says he also appreciates the long-term stability of electric rates compared to diesel.

Bentley considering diesel engine for new SUV

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Turns out, in case you didn't know, the rich are just like regular people. They too are concerned about the environment, even when tooling around town in their super-luxurious Bentleys. So the automaker is weighing the idea of offering a diesel engine in its SUV offering, which could help satisfy customers' demands for more fuel-efficient engines.
Chairman and CEO Wolfgang Schreiber told Autoblog in a roundtable interview at the Geneva Auto Show that the automaker is researching whether or not a diesel engine makes sense for the brand. Bentley, owned by the Volkswagen Group, could in theory use a diesel engine from anywhere in the Volkswagen Group family. We at Autoblog have hopes they'll revive the V10 TDI used in the VW Touareg until 2010, but ever-stricter emissions laws would likely make that problematic.
But rich people aren't so much like us that they'll be worried about petty things like pricing. Schreiber admitted the diesel engine could be a $15,000 option, which he said customers would probably find "acceptable." Given that the cheapest Bentley today starts at $177,000, typical customers probably won't be diddling around worrying about an extra 15 grand.

Take a listen to the Volkswagen ID 3 and Koenigsegg Jesko

Sun, Dec 15 2019

What could better demonstrate our diametric vehicular future than sound clips of the Volkswagen ID 3 and the Koenigsegg Jesko? Battery-electric vehicles don't make enough noise on their own, so VW partnered with composer Leslie Mandoki for the legally-mandated Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS) that warns pedestrians and cyclists of the EV's presence. Mandoki — a German-Hungarian who once played drums in a Euro disco band called Dschinghis Khan — was asked to come up with a sound for the ID 3 that VW said "defines its identity," "radiates safety and the promise of effortless mobility," and that "must also impress with its unique character." The definition of the ID 3's single-motor, 201-horsepower character is this: Occupants and people around the hatch can hear the sound as the car accelerates to 18.6 mph, and when reversing. At higher speeds, the sound of wind resistance and tire noise takes over. As our library of AVAS tones grows, it's clear that EVs will provide a soundscape as varied as that of internal combustion engines. Here, for instance, is the industrial thrum used as the Karma Revero GT's pedestrian warning: And here is the sci-fi soaring from the BMW Vision M Next, as composed by Hans Zimmer: At the other end of the aural chamber, we have the Koenigsegg Jesko. In this case, the composer is a 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 running on a bio-ethanol E85 blend that's almost suitable for IndyCar, powering the engine up to 1,600 horsepower. Output on pump gas will be 'only' 1,281 hp. The Swedish automaker released a clip of the exhaust note of a car in progress inside the Angelhom factory. Here's what we can look forward to: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. All these sounds have a place at the table, even if we'd prefer Karma booked some time with a producer and an Autotune session. To paraphrase Sesame Street, though, one of these sounds is definitely not like the other.
