  1968 Volkswagen Bus Camper

Type 2 Westfalia

This is a very original, very clean, very complete 1968 Volkswagen Type 2 Westfalia, it is in very good condition and needs very little that we are aware of. It is an unrestored Pacific Northwest Survivor 

Very nice and featuring all of its original camping gear, these are tough to find in this great of condition.

It really does hearken back to a simpler time and is an absolute blast to cruise around in. 

The paint appears shiny and smooth with no large imperfections. The Orange main body paint is fresh and looks great.

The interior looks to be original and is in very good condition, no rips, tears or stains in the upholstery. It appears not to have any water leaks or damage from being outside too much.  It also doesnt have any bad smells or seem to have been smoked in.  

The Pop-Top functions great and the original upper cot is intact and functional. There is some tearing in the canvas, as well as some stains, this is one of the few items I would probably replace.

The motor runs great, does not smoke, starts well hot or cold, although it does leave a few drips of oil on the ground as these usually do.  It was rebuilt 36k miles ago, so I am sure it just needs some gaskets to seal it up.

The tires are like new, and the suspension is much improved over stock with large sway bars and quality shocks. The suspension upgrades really make this bus drive much better than most.  All bus's should have these upgrades, but they are expensive.

The motor is a 1600cc single port with a Dual Weber ICT kit.  Plus other upgrades like larger oil sump and ignition upgrades.

The transmission shifts as it great with a Scat shifter, linkage is tight and syncros are good. The transmission was rebuilt by German Transaxle of America and features a 4.12 final drive.

There is very little rust to be found on this vehicle; I have included a picture of the right front corner that has a small amount of rust present.  This would be an easy repair, or not to worry about.

This bus it appears to have been garage kept and very, very well taken care of over the years.

If you are in the market for one of these charming old rigs, look no further, this is a great example.

TN politicians may push to end VW incentives if plant goes union

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

Volkswagen's Chattanooga Assembly Plant is scheduled to vote on whether to unionize in the coming days, but Tennessee state lawmakers are threatening to deny future tax subsidies to the factory, if the vote is successful. The factory is currently the only Volkswagen plant worldwide that is not unionized.
The states's Republican lawmakers have been particularly vocal against the union vote. Tennessee state senator Bo Watson said during a press conference that VW would have a "very tough time" with future incentives if the vote were successful, according to Automotive News. Tennessee House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick said the "heavy hand" of the UAW is not welcome there. VW has drawn criticism from both sides because it has allowed both pro- and anti-union groups to speak to workers and hand out leaflets.
Roughly 1,500 factory employees will vote on whether to unionize from February 12-14. If successful, the Chattanooga factory would be the first in the US organized under a German-style works council system where white- and blue-collar workers directly negotiate factory issues with the company's management.

Recharge Wrap-up: Zero takes electric motorcycles to cop expos, Chevy Volt powers dealership's Internet

Fri, Oct 3 2014

Zero Motorcycles will be at three law enforcement conferences this month, including COPSWEST Training and Expo, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Law Enforcement Vehicle Test and Emergency Vehicle Product Expo and International Association of Chiefs of Police Expo. Zero will display its recently debuted 2015 line of electric motorcycles at the events including the new FXP, a police-duty version of it FX "Stealthfighter." Zero also offers the MMX, SP and DSP for police and military use. Learn more about the events in the press release below. Volkswagen Group CEO Martin Winterkorn told European regulators that more stringent emissions standards too soon will be a major problem for automakers. He says that such moves could prove "fatal" for an auto industry that is still working to develop cleaner vehicles. "Every gram of CO2 that we save in our European fleet costs our group almost 100 million euros," says Winterkorn, "100 million that we have to invest in advance, without knowing when these investments pay off." He says that already creating emissions targets beyond those set for 2020 could harm European automakers competing globally. Read more at Automotive News Europe. When a Detroit Chevrolet dealership lost its Internet connection, it turned to one of its Chevy Volts for a temporary fix. After the regular connection at Buff Whelan Chevrolet went down, it plugged in a Volt showroom model equipped with 4G LTE, and used its connection to resume business. The car can handle up to seven connected devices, so the team used a Malibu to connect the rest of its computers. When a customer asked why the Volt was on, the team explained the whole situation, leading to one impressed customer. Read more at Automotive News.

Volkswagen could build plug-in hybrids in China

Sun, Apr 6 2014

When you're Europe's largest automaker and your largest global market happens to be the one most notorious for its pollution (China), some solutions just present themselves. Volkswagen may be heeding that call. During the upcoming Beijing Motor Show, the company is expected to announce plans to produce plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in China, Reuters says, citing sources within the company. Few details have emerged, though the plug-ins will likely be produced at VW's Foshan factory in South China, which currently makes the Golf and Audi A3 and has plans to eventually make 600,000 vehicles annually. News has been percolating for a while, as Oliver Schmidt, general manager engineering and environmental office for Volkswagen Group of America, said last March that the company was planning at least two plug-in hybrid lines under the VW badge (and another three with its Audi and Porsche affiliates), including possibly a Touareg and Jetta PHEV. VW said late last month that it was looking to speed up development of "particularly eco-friendly models" made by Shanghai Volkswagen as well as developing a "new, very eco-friendly vehicle" with First Automotive Works (FAW). Earlier this year, VW unveiled its Golf GTE plug-in hybrid at the Geneva Motor Show. That model has a 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine and an electric motor to provide 201 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. The car can travel as many as 81 miles on electric power alone.
