1969 Vw Westfalia Pop Top, Montana Red on 2040-cars
Scotts Valley, California, United States
|
1969 Volkswagen Westfalia bus, walk thru, small pop top. The bus has all the original Westfalia interior which is in great condition. It is missing the ice box/ sink. The Z-bed, jump seat and rear cushions have all new foam and were professionally reupholstered in very soft black "pleather." They look terrific and have no rips or flaws. The cargo floor area has no rust and was covered in bamboo flooring. The bus has aftermarket curtains that are very heavy fabric, made for this bus so they fit excellent, and have a great pattern that ties into the colors of the bus. The front seats were recovered with TMI covers and are also in excellent shape with no rips or flaws. The front floors are solid with no rust through whatsoever. The bus has a Pioneer CD/ MP3 player with four JL Audio speakers. The bus has new 205/75/14 tires all around and the factory rims were repainted factory white. New spare tire cover as well. The bus was just repainted the original Volkswagen Montana Red PPG urethane paint on the exterior. There is no rust on the bus and it has never been in a collision. The interior is still the original paint. The bus was originally all red, but is had been painted two tone at some point in it's life. So I had the upper half repainted with VW white, when they painted the Montana Red. The pop top was also painted at that time. The red with the white really stands out. The pop top has a new rubber seal. All of the doors and rear hatch/ engine lid has new rubber. The front and rear window also has new rubber. The bus has new lenses and rubber around the lenses. The pop top canvas is in excellent condition. There is a dime sized tear in the canvas and the front screen has a rip. However, the screen covers are perfect. The motor is a 1835cc with dual 44mm Brosol/ Solex carbs and has a header with single quiet pack muffler. It was just tuned by a VW shop in Santa Cruz. All of the cylinders have compression over 100. The mileage for the bus shows 75,000, but it is unknown what the true mileage is. The motor was in the bus when I bought it and the previous owner told me it had about 6000 miles on it. I have put less than 500 miles on it since I have had it. Transmission shifts very well and it does not pop out of any gears. It still has the factory reduction boxes. The bus is currently registered and I have a clear California title in my name. The bus is in great condition overall and is ready for the summer! I mostly drive it to the beach on weekends and campout once in awhile and it always gets tons of attention! |

Lexus tops JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study again, Buick bests Toyota
Wed, Feb 25 2015It shouldn't surprise anyone, but Lexus has once again taken the top spot in JD Power's Vehicle Dependability Study. That'd be the Japanese luxury brand's fourth straight year at the top of table. The big news, though, is the rise of Buick. General Motor's near-premium brand beat out Toyota to take second place, with 110 problems per 100 vehicles compared to Toyota's 111 problems. Lexus owners only reported 89 problems per 100 vehicles. Besides Buick's three-position jump, Scion enjoyed a major improvement, jumping 13 positions from 2014. Ram and Mitsubishi made big gains, as well, moving up 11 and 10 positions, respectively. In terms of individual segments, GM and Toyota both excelled, taking home seven segment awards each. The study wasn't good news for all involved, though. A number of popular automakers finished below the industry average of 147 problems per 100 vehicles, including Subaru, (157PP100), Volkswagen (165PP100), Ford/Hyundai (188PP100 each) and Mini (193PP100). The biggest losers (by a tremendous margin, we might add) were Land Rover and Fiat, recording 258 and 273 problems per 100 vehicles. The next closest brand was Jeep, with 197PP100. While the Vehicle Dependability Study uses the same measurement system as the Initial Quality Survey, the two metrics analyze very different things. The VDS looks at problems experienced by original owners of model year 2012 vehicles over the past 12 months, while the oft-quoted IQS focuses on problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership. Like the IQS, though, the VDS has a rather broad definition of what a problem is. Because of that, a low score from JD Power is no guarantee of extreme unreliability, so much as just poor design. In this most recent study, the two most reported problems focused on Bluetooth connectivity and the voice-command systems. The former leaves plenty of room for user error due to poor design (particularly true of the Bluetooth systems on the low-scoring Fords, Volkswagens and Subarus), while the second is something JD Power has already confirmed as being universally terrible. That makes means that while these studies are important, they shouldn't be taken as gospel when it comes to automotive reliability.

2014 VW Golf brings storied hatchback's seventh generation to US
Wed, 27 Mar 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf in US-specification officially debuts at the 2013 New York Auto Show. The new model is the first VW in the States to ride on the company's MQB architecture, and as such, it makes use of plenty of high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel to keep weight down. All told, the new shell is 51 pounds lighter than the outgoing generation, despite the fact that the finished car is a full 2.2 inches longer and .5 inches wider than the 2013 model.
Buyers can expect to find a base model powered by a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (blue car above) with 170 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. That means the powerplant delivers the same horsepower as the old naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder while weighing less and producing seven extra pound-feet of torque. TDI (silver car above) buyers, meanwhile, will enjoy a new 2.0-liter turbo diesel four-cylinder mill. VW says the engine yields 10 more horsepower than the old lump, which means the Golf TDI now boasts 150 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque.
GTI (red car above) buyers will now get their hands on a revised 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with approximately 210 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque - Volkswagen hasn't finalized power numbers for that machine. We're happy to see that the GTI still features its trademark plaid seats. Volkswagen says the new Golf and GTI will go on sale as a 2015 model, but doesn't say when the car will actually hit dealerships.
