Camper interior Has table for candle light dinners, fridge that runs on propane gas, 12volt and plug it 110v, Sink with a clear water tank, lots of storage for all you needs, Bottom seat can be a couch and it turns in to a bed. Roof pops up so u can stand up with no problem. I will do my best to Describe this bus- Just changed oil, battery, fuel, fuel pump etc and drove it camping to San Francisco. Bus motor does not overheat and it drove like a dream. See Pics from 1-19-2014 trip photos. We did over 400 miles in the bus and got great gas millage compare to a rv. The bus does need tlc and a full tune up just to have it service before I would take across the country since it sat for over a year. This is a 34+yeard old Vw bus that will need tlc just like any other one and it is Sold as-is and the buyer is responsible for transport and smog etc..The Bus is 34+ years is a clean bus to what is out their unless you pay over 25k. Once you work all the little kinks out of it, I honestly thinks it will be a dreams bus. If u want a fully restored bus and want to pay 40k this one is not for you. If you want a nice bus that you will fall in love and use it everyday then this one is for you. It is part of my seniors dad collection and he loved the bus but has not driven it for a year. Clear Ca title and reg is on non-opp starting 2-2014. Please feel free to come by and drive the bus or call me at 916-969-0334 Paul. It is in Loomis, Ca by Sacramento. Feel free to ask any questions?? Buyer must pay 500 dollar deposit within 24 hours of end of Auction via Paypal. The Rest must be paid in full with in 5 days via Cash, Bank transfer. I have sold many cars to Europe and had always happy customers. These buses are only going to go higher in value bcs u can take them on a trip and is a whole different trip then a gas drinking rv. Tom Hanks the actor bought one recently, a camper too.No Reserve auction-I see these online for 10,000 plus all the time. GREAT THINGS ABOUT THE BUS- 1-Westfalia camper-Frig,sink,cabinets,beds-etc Nice and usable see pics, top bunk is white and like new. 2-1980 Vw Vanagon Motor rebuilt and around 30k on it, Strong not like those early bus that could no go 60 mph, This bus cruises at 70mph with no problem. 3-Nice color-original Vanilla yellow but now a little brither yellow. 4-Manual-4 speed-Easy to drive and very realiable. Great Trans. 5-Good glass and interior. Passanger seat swivels for more seating space. 6-New fuel pump, battery, new hoses, Many new parts. 7-Starts every time and it has new fuel and pump etc. The Bad- 1- Tent is torn but I found one for as little as 149-new or fix this one.or fix this one. 2-1980 Nice Cond but not perfect has some dings in and out etc.. Rear cushion works but it is thiner then original but very usable. 3-Speedo just broke at 189k. Missing Cd radio face cover. 4-Paint looks great from distance but upclose you can see that at sometime it was painted cheaply, It does has some minor surface rurs and dings old owner prior to us had it painted, but the little rust is surface only. 5-Bus should have a full tune up so it can travel anywhere, tires have some cracks and Brakes should have new pads. 6-Key-opens front doors but rear and side door is missing, but doors all doors close and open with no problems 7-Camper Kitchen Stove works etc but everything needs to be cleaned due to it sitting a year. Water tank needs to be cleaned too. Propane tank needs a new knob because it does leek propane from the tank, easy fix for a part from a rv/camping store. Common gasket goes bad. Quated it is a $ 10 part and look easy to install. Well I did my best but please realize that a vehicle can have any problem or they can run for ever. Please don't bid on this item unless you plan to buy it. It takes lots of time and money to list a item. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTION????

VW Up Buggy may be headed to showrooms
Tue, 02 Jul 2013Volkswagen showed six conceptual takes on its Up at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, one of those being the Up Buggy. Although few will probably remember it, VW has not forgotten it, applying for a patent for the Meyers Manx revival roadster way back in March 2012 and being approved in June of this year, according to a report in Autocar. That will give the automaker a 14-year lock on the design while it decides whether to move forward with a reboot of its past.
A patent doesn't mean the Up Buggy will ever move beyond the sheet-of-paper stage, but Autocar says VW is studying the market to see if a production version is feasible. We can't see North America ever getting it, but even so, we wouldn't complain if they made it - especially if they put an exposed engine in back that was set off by 18-inch-long twin tailpipes jutting straight up into the air. However, for a company that aims to be the world's number-one automaker by 2018, a niche vehicle for its mass-market brand would be a surprising use of resources.
Bentley considering diesel engine for new SUV
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Turns 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.
VW to announce $1B investment in Mexico plant
Sun, Mar 8 2015Big news south of the border could be slated for later this week, as Automotive News is reporting that the Volkswagen Group will announce a $1-billion investment in the company's Puebla factory. The company officially declined to comment, but AN is claiming the investment in the Puebla facility, which has been operating for over five decades, will add 1,900 jobs to the nearly 16,000-strong workforce. According to AN, a person familiar with the situation in Puebla claims the investment will support production of the next-generation Tiguan, slated to arrive in 2017. The Puebla factory currently produces Golf, while total output last year nearly hit half a million vehicles, or about 15 percent of Mexico's total automotive output.
