I am selling my 1966 SO42 Tin Top Westfalia , This bus is a walkthrough model.. I would love to keep the Bus but I recently purchased a house that is requiring my attention . To start I went through the braking system replacing all the soft rubber lines , master cylinder , all new wheel cylinders and shoes . The Motor is a single port 1600cc and is in good used condition , Does not leak oil and seems to run well down the road . Miles are unknown. The transmission shifts perfect and smooth . New axle boots were recently installed and well as new fluids in transmission as well as the reduction gears .
The body of the bus surely shows its age , Looks to have been repainted many many years ago .. The roof is nice and faded and there's plenty of patina to go around on this bus , chips ,scratches ,fading etc . Over the years its had a couple floor patches done up front , But over all if your looking for a fun bus to go out in the woods camp , take off road , drive out on the beach this is totally that kinda bus . Its not restored just polished up as is .. But is a bus that you can drive as it is and make a plan to restore someday . But honestly a restored camper will most likely sit in the garage and get looked at and not used .. This bus is just ready to have fun in !!
The front seats have been recovered using Wolfsburg West covers and pads. Door panels are the hardboard grey . Camper kit is all original , but at some point someone recovered the seat cushions ,rear seat folds to a bed ,and table folds down to the wall . It is missing the icebox but in my opinion provides more room inside . Just throw your vintage cooler in that spot and call it a day .
Bus comes complete with the roof rack . Was converted to 12 volt , has H4 headlights which are good and bright . What else can I say other than again look at the pictures . Its not restored but well aged .Looks great to me , I wouldn't change a thing about it . I love the fact that I can drive and not worry about a thing . Yes these buses are becoming to be worth a lot of money restored etc . But at that point there not as fun anymore . All you do is worry about them and hope your collector car insurance is for high enough if something were to happen . This is a driver quality bus that looks pretty good also . Drive and have fun ...

Editors' Choice: Top Five 2013 Geneva Motor Show Debuts
Fri, 08 Mar 2013We've returned from a very busy week in Switzerland, and in going back over all of our 75 stories from the Geneva Motor Show, our editors have gathered up their personal favorite debuts from the European expo.
The wonderful thing about the Geneva show is just how wide of an array of vehicles are on display - everything from funny little one-off EVs to the most exotic of supercars to, well, truly ridiculous displays of coachbuilding. And because of that, this list of our editors' favorites might not be as predictable as you think.
But we don't want to give anything away just yet. Scroll down to have a look at our team's favorites from Geneva.
2015 Volkswagen GTI [w/video]
Fri, 26 Apr 2013The 911 Of Hot Hatches Takes The Compact Game To New Levels
North American car buyers get a bit of a slap in the face when it comes to delivery schedules for new the Volkswagen Golf and pumped-up GTI models. We'll just repeat the old chestnut: It's worth the wait... even though it still stinks. This time around, Western Europe is taking deliveries of the new Golf as we speak, and GTI deliveries start between May and July. North America doesn't get the Mk7 Golf or GTI until about July of 2014.
So we approached our first drive of the new GTI with this chip on our shoulder: "You're making us wait? Well, then at least give us the exact car we'll be able to buy. No compromises, mein freund." And so it was that we extracted nearly all of our drive impressions from behind the wheel of what, for the United States, will technically be a model year 2015 two-door Volkswagen Golf GTI Performance with the standard six-speed manual.
