Outstanding VW Westy, with 52053 original miles, runs and drives great.  Previous owner had $2300 worth of work done to it about 6500 miles ago to include upper ball joints, 4 CV boots, removed and resealed transmission, front outer tie rods, rear main seal, and 4 new tires (I have the receipt for all that).  This was everything it needed to be perfect, she then passed away a couple years later and it sat for a few years. When I got it the slave cylinder was stuck so I replaced it and bleed the system, brakes could use a bit more bleeding as pedal travel is a little low but it stops good.  I also adjusted the valves and changed the oil and filter, it runs great with no leaks!  Has an aftermarket cd player with nice aftermarket speakers throughout.  Everything works, wipers, lights, turn signals, heat, speedometer, odometer, e-brake, ect).  This is the first westy I've seen with what seems like factory A/C controls (see pic), the controls turn on the unit above the back seats, when you turn the inner knob to AC you can hear a relay click but it doesn't blow cold, I think it needs a compressor because I can't find one (unless it's internal of the unit like a home window unit, but it's not on the engine?), anyway, all the other components for it are there behind the front grill (condenser, evaporator, lines that lead to the unit).  Body is very good and seems to have been painted a darker green at some point, when you open the door you can see the two-toned look which I think looks pretty cool (see pic), really no rust to speak of, not even in the battery compartment, rain gutters (see pic), or wheel wells (see pic).  I did take a pic of the one spot I've found where some paint chipped away and there is surface rust (see pic).  Manual tranny shifts great and smoothly into each gear.  The tent has a tear that has tape on it, when I took these pics today it was raining and no rain got in, but I would glue a canvas patch on it if I was keeping it.  Windows, doors, and top open and close smoothly, it looks like the inner sliding door handle was rubbing the body when it would slide open at one point in time (see pic) but it has clearance now. A couple of the plastic corner bumpers were loose so I took them off and they are in the vehicle.  I don't know how to use the appliances but like everything else I'm sure they work, feel free to ask me anything and I'll go check it out, I can send specific pics if you want or I will call you if you send me your number.  This westy drives great but I have not driven it far and since it sat for a while I would recommend shipping it, and driving it locally for a few days before it made a road trip. The reserve is real low, this will sell

**NOTE** I see that the ebay vehicle report is flagging the title, I assure you I have a clean clear title in my name, in my hands right now.  This flag is odd because as you click on it, it eventually says that there may be a problem with the odometer, but in the odometer section it says it's good, and you can see in the report that the mileage has always been increasing.  Anyways rest assure you can ignore this flag, the odometer checks good and the title is clean.

Carmakers ask Trump to revisit fuel efficiency rules

Mon, Feb 13 2017

Car companies operating in the US are required to meet stringent fuel efficiency standards (a fleet average of 54.5MPG) through 2025, but they're hoping to loosen things now that President Trump is in town. Leaders from Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota and VW have sent a letter to Trump asking him to rethink the Obama administration's choice to lock in efficiency guidelines for the next several years. The car makers want to revisit the midterm review for the 2025 commitment in hopes of loosening the demands. They claim that the tougher requirements raise costs, don't match public buying habits and will supposedly put "as many a million" jobs up in the air. The Trump administration hasn't specifically responded to the letter, although Environmental Protection Agency nominee Scott Pruitt had said he would return to the Obama-era decision. The automakers' argument doesn't entirely hold up. While the EPA did estimate that the US would fall short of efficiency goals due to a shift toward SUVs and trucks, the job claims are questionable. Why would making more fuel efficient vehicles necessarily cost jobs instead of pushing companies to do better? As it is, even a successful attempt to loosen guidelines may only have a limited effect. All of the brands mentioned here are pushing for greater mainstream adoption of electric vehicles within the next few years -- they may meet the Obama administration's expectations just by shifting more drivers away from gas power.

Last VW bus ever made arrives at final destination

Fri, 31 Jan 2014

A Brazilian politician tried to save it, unsuccessfully, so the final Last Edition Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi was produced on December 20, 2013 and now resides in a vintage museum at Volkswagen's Commercial Vehicles HQ in Hanover, Germany.
The Volkswagen Microbus was built for 56 years, starting in September 1957. Brazil was the last country still assembling it, but new safety regulations in the country requiring airbags and ABS on all cars spelled the end. When that politician introduced a bill that would pardon only the 'Bus from a death sentence, it couldn't garner the required number of votes for passage. The South American country takes the Kombi production title, though, with 1.5 million of the 3.5 million total made in the home of Copacabana beach and the girl from Ipanema.
The VW Bus is dead. Now perhaps we can turn our attentions to the still-not-totally-settled matter of the Bulli...
