Your bidding on a 1972 Westfalia Camper bus that was bought NEW exactly 42 years ago Today ! Back on March 17, 1972...... It was bought new at Veale in Santa Rosa by miss Trudy Wohlers..... the 2nd Owner who I bought the bus from mr. John Potter... bought the bus from Trudy on Dec. 7, 1973...... he Paid Trudy $2675, and I have the Cancelled Check !
By the Way... Trudy had paid a whopping $ 4030.45 , I believe she traded in her '64 Datson, which Veale gave her $1150 as a trade in Value. Trudy had ordered the bus with a AM Radio which was $79.95 extra. I have the Original dated 8/71 Owners Manual with Trudys name written inside and I have the Original Pink Slip that John got when he registered the bus for the first time on Jan.25,1974.... he must of got a late fee ! ;-0 Ok, time to talk the about the bus... The bus is a Walkthrough and is very dry, just a few surface rust areas and some pinhole areas on front floor, and a little rust in Passenger corner. Underneath rear floors and Rockers look very nice, Doglegs very nice. Mr Potter told me he had the bus repainted the one time many many years ago, interior looks pretty Original, some speaker holes ad'd above rear cabinet. A few other small ad on's by mr. Potter. Recently while the bus lay dormant in mr. Potters driveway , someone backed into rear driver corner, and Mr. potter had a road rage incident where he chased someone down, and actually rear ended them... those are the only 2 dents on the body. We have spent some hours to get the engine running again and actually drove it around the parking lot...All 4 cylinders are 120-125 psi and we changed all spark plugs and set the timing has best as we could get it . It shifts fine through all gears like it should but the bus will need a Service. We did not touch the brakes or go through electrics, it has been off the road for 7 or 8 years now. Mr. potter and his family were serious campers and they really used this bus allot . They used to camp with 2 adults, 3 childen and a BIG dog..... I don't think they ever cleaned this poor old bus... it really needs a serious CLEANING. I will leave that for the new owner . Driver door panel is off but is in backseat :-) , rear headliner is starting to come down in one spot, needs glue or something to put it back in place. All cushions and interior seem to be Original,including icebox. There are a few box's on engine deck that are misc. spare parts and they go with it. * Forgot to say it does have 2014 Current Calif. Registration Please ask any and all questions prior to bidding, Euro Bidders are not a problem, the Port of Oakland is an Hour away and I do have a shipper . |

Volkswagen Golf Variant Concept R-Line puts the sport in SportWagen
Wed, 06 Mar 2013With the introduction of the newest Volkswagen Golf Variant, we get an early look at what will most likely be the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here in the US. To further wet our appetities, VW is now teasing something a little sportier with the Concept R-Line. Looking the part of a GTI wagon (or a stretched Golf R), the Golf Variant Concept R-Line has a production-ready appearance that has us hoping we'll see this sporty wagon sooner rather than later.
The R-Line starts off with a new fascia that isn't quite as aggressive as the recently introduced GTI, but it gives the new styling some extra punch. Below the fascia is a lower splitter that visually carries back into the rocker panel extensions, and the rear of the car gets some bright exhaust tips and a rear diffuser. The Lapis Blue Metallic paint job probably does enough on its own to add a sporty flair to the Golf wagon, and it's all finished off with 18-inch split-spoke wheels. Inside, the Concept R-Line shows off sport seats wrapped in carbon leather featuring blue nappa inserts in the middle.
Rightfully so, VW brought the Concept R-Line to Geneva with its TDI and 4Motion all-wheel-drive system. A sporty, all-wheel-drive diesel wagon? Yes, please. Scroll down for the full press blast with all the details.
Volkswagen Golf voted 2013 European Car of the Year
Tue, 05 Mar 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf just went on sale in Europe, but it is already off to a promising start. Announced as the Geneva Motor Show kicked off, the newest Golf was named European Car of the Year for 2013 in dominating style over cars like the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT86 twins, Volvo V40, Ford B-Max and Mercedes-Benz A-Class.
According to Automotive News Europe, the MkVII Golf won handily over its rivals with a total of 414 votes. The Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT86 received 202 votes finishing in a distant second, while the Volvo V40 (189 votes), Ford B-Max (148 votes) and Mercedes-Benz A-Class (138 votes) round out the top five. The new Golf marks the third Volkswagen product to receive the prestigious award with previous cars including the MkIII Golf and the most recent iteration of the Polo.
Volkswagen considering a four-door, four-seat XL1
Fri, 22 Aug 2014According to a report in Autocar, Volkswagen might have more in mind for the XL1 than mining it for advances to grace the next-generation Golf. Aiming to fight the Honda FCEV due for public consumption next year, we're told VW executives have put a four-door, four-seater version of the XL1 - it could be called XL2 - on the drawing board. The impetus is said to come from the top, with VW Group chairman Ferdinand Piëch intent on staying in the deep end of "super-efficent vehicles."
Autocar suspects the necessary changes could raise the weight of the car from 1,749 pounds to 2,068 pounds, which would make it four pounds less than the 2,072-pound Up! we drove a few years ago. Crucially, however, the mag thinks the extra capacity wouldn't change the two-seater's 310-mile-per-gallon rating, with tech tweaks and the aerodynamic benefit of a longer car offsetting the weight. Speculation is that the back seats would be staggered like the fronts in order to maintain the XL1's overall profile.
We recently heard about another XL1 variant that's gone off the radar entirely, the Ducati-engined XLR that we thought we'd see at the Geneva Motor Show and that was said to be going into production, so this one could go the same way. The biggest hurdle to making such an idea a reality, though, could be the price: the current XL1 costs 110,000 euros ($146,116). If VW really is going to compete with the Honda FCEV and the Toyota FCV - $70,000 in Japan - that might be where it wants to start.
