For sale is our VERY CLEAN 1970 Volkswagen Westfalia Tin-top Campmobile (Serial number 2302120547).  The bus currently has 96,580 miles on its 1600cc engine that was rebuilt 14,000 miles ago, it runs great and the auto-choke works well during colder weather.  The ENTIRE brake system has been replaced last year with high quality German parts, except for the e-brake cable.  That means new master cylinder, new wheel cylinders, all hard brake lines replaced, new flexible brake lines, all brake hardware, brake fluid reservoir and also new shoes.  The drums were in great shape and were re-used.  The valves were recently adjusted and new valve cover gaskets installed, along with new fuel lines and fuel filter (less than 500 miles ago).  The bus also has new driver and passenger door seals, new 3-point retractable seat belts, new rear lap belts and a set of new Koni rear shocks that have not been installed yet.  The bus rides fine, but I picked these shocks up a few years ago when they became available since they are pretty hard to find. 4 new Hankook tires were installed less that 200 miles ago.  The Interstate battery is less than one year old.  All the turn signals, interior and exterior lights, radio and horn work as they should.

The interior is in very good condition.  The bus has the Westfalia Campmobile package, including ice-box, sink and fold down bed which operates smoothly and is in great condition.  The original cot is in good shape and is included in the auction.  The electrical hook-up works well.  The birch headliner is in great shape. 

A few minor issues include:  The gas gauge does not work anymore (speedometer/odometer are fine), the water bottle cap for the sink is broken and the windshield wiper fluid pump does not seem to prime (wipers work good, just no fluid).  There is little rust on the bus and it is shown in the pics. 

Feel free to email if you have questions.  You are welcome to come by to take it for a test drive.  The bus is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early.  I will only ship to lower 48 states and will not ship internationally.  $500 deposit required within 24 hours of winning auction.  HAPPY BIDDING!!

Italian investigators search Lambo headquarters in VW probe

Thu, Oct 15 2015

Italian investigators searched Lamborghini headquarters on Oct. 15 to look for evidence of managers' involvement in Volkswagen's emissions cheating. VW's main office in Verona was also inspected, according to Reuters. Lamborghini is owned by Volkswagen, and Lambo in turn is listed as the owner of VW Group Italia. Authorities wanted to find out if employees were conscious that the vehicles were skirting emissions rules. "It is one thing if I sell water and pretend it's wine, but if I sell water believing it is wine it's different." Verona chief prosecutor Mario Giulio Schinaia said to Reuters. Italian newspaper Gazetta del Sud reported that several managers in Italy were under investigation for alleged fraud. Prosecutors in Germany have also been rigorously investigating VW, and they recently staged a similar raid on the company's headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany. The automaker reportedly turned over documents and other data relating to the software defeat device. Meanwhile, VW's internal investigation has turned up little wrongdoing, though a recent leak suggested otherwise, and at least 30 managers could have known about the defeat device. The automaker has disputed that figure. Volkswagen of America CEO Michael Horn testified before Congress that he believed only a few individuals were involved. The situation hasn't been easy on VW in the US, either. The Department of Justice has also been pursuing an investigation into the automaker. Plus, state attorneys general are filing lawsuits against the company for defrauding customers. VW has until Nov. 20 to explain a repair for the problem to the California Air Resources Board.

Foreign automakers pay from $38 to $65 per hour to non-union workers

Sun, Mar 29 2015

As leaders for the United Auto Workers gather in Detroit for their Special Convention on Collective Bargaining to work out the negotiating stance for this year's new labor agreements with the Detroit 3 automakers, what they most want to do is figure out how to eliminate the two-tier wage scale. However, the lower Tier 2 wage has allowed the domestic automakers to reduce their labor costs, hire more workers, and compete better with their import competition. As it stands, per-hour labor rates including benefits are $58 at General Motors, $57 at Ford, and $48 at Fiat-Chrysler – a reflection of FCA's much greater number of Tier 2 workers. The Center for Automotive Research released a study of labor rates (including benefits) that put numbers to what the imports pay: Mercedes-Benz pays the most, at an average of $65 per hour, Volkswagen pays the least, at $38 per hour, and BMW is just a hair above that at $39 per hour. Among the Detroit competitors, Honda workers earn an average of $49 per hour, at Toyota it's $48 per hour, Nissan is $42 per hour, and Hyundai-Kia pays $41 per hour. The lower import wages are aided by their greater use of temporary workers compared to the domestics. Automotive News says the ten-dollar gap between those foreign camakers and the domestics turns out to about an extra $250 per car in labor, which adds up quickly when you're pumping out many millions of cars. That $250-per-car number is one that, come negotiating time, the Detroit 3 will want to reduce, as the UAW is trying to raise both Tier 1 and Tier 2 wages. Another wrinkle is that the domestic carmakers are considering the wide adoption of a third wage level lower than Tier 2. Some workers who do minor tasks like assembling parts trays kits and battery packs already make less than Tier 2, but the UAW will be quite wary about cementing yet another wage scale at the bottom of the system while it's trying to fight a bigger battle at the top.
