1972 Volkswagen Kombi Camper Van on 2040-cars
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States
You are
bidding on a 1972 Volkswagen Type 23 Kombi camper van, with 64k miles. This van
is outfitted with a custom interior, designed around the Westfalia style camper
set up, along with many other upgrades. The headliner, front seat upholstery,
and interior panels are TMI brand, VW reproduction in gray. The rear seat and
bed cushions are custom made with a very good color match. The cabinets are
made from high end marine grade plywood, finished in its natural color. The
double burner propane stove is mounted above the ice chest. To gain access to
the ice chest you step on the foot peddle and a hydraulic system raises the
stove. (See photos) To lower the stove you press the foot peddle and push the
stove down. The stove can also be removed and placed on a folding stand
(included) to cook outside (see photos). Heat is provided by a Mr. Heater
portable radiant heater witch can also be removed to be used outside. The small
portable toilet located below the heater can also be removed and placed in a more
"privet" area of your campsite. The back seat and fold out bed can be
lowered into the bed configuration or locked back into a seat very easily and
only takes a few seconds. Underneath the rear seat / bed is more storage (see
photos). Alongside the bed on the
driver’s side are two more cabinets with plenty of room for storage. Above the
bed, (see photos), is a storage shelf for bedding and curtains. Two complete
set of curtains are included. The red plaid set shown in the photos, along with
a gray set. Next to the stove is a small sink with soap dispenser, and a hand
pump water faucet. Fresh water and gray water connection are located outside
just behind the driver’s side door. Fresh water is supplied by a MSR bladder
connected by a hose. I would lay the bladder underneath the bus to keep it in
the shade. Gray water is directed away from bus by a garden hose. Underneath
the sink is more storage space with the included red plates, bowls, cups, and
cookware. (See photo) A Panasonic #CQ-VAD9300U radio/TV/CD players is tucked in
the stock hole for the radio. On top of the bus is a Wingard brand retractable
antenna. I have also installed a digital to analogue converter so the TV
stations will work. The rest of the dash is all stock and in good condition.
Also mounted above the sliding door is a Shadyboy brand fold out awning (See
Photos). The engine is a 2 liter 914 with
single carb and 009 distributor. The engine was rebuilt completely less than
1000 miles ago, and runs and drives great. The transmission was rebuilt approximately
4000 miles ago. A second RV deep cycle battery with a disconnect is installed
in the engine compartment with a battery charger for long weekends. Next to the
stove is a small inverter to power small electronics and charge your phone. All
of the door and compartment seals have been replaced with new seals. The front
windshield was also replaced with a brand new unit. The body is in good
condition. Some body work was performed on the front of the bus before I
purchased it and is behind the Spare tire. The frame was under coated at one
point and has prevented any undercarriage rust. The frame and body works has
close to no rust. Some of the undercoat
has come off in the wheel wells and exposed the frame paint (see photo). The
sliding door lower slide is in great condition with no rust and the door slides
smooth. The bus was repainted at one point most likely in the 80’s. The paint
and rest of the body has some small scratches and nicks and such, but all in
all, it's in good condition. The louvered windows work but are in need of some
new seals. The lock is missing from the external handle on the passenger door,
but all the other locks work. This is a great little camper bus. It has been stored inside for last 10 years,
and has not been used it, so it’s time for it to go to a new home. The tires,
shocks, drive shafts, CV joints, brakes, tie rods, and exhaust were all
replaced with new components about 10 years ago, and only have about 4000 miles
on them. Buyer is responsible for any and all shipping costs. Payment through PayPal only. Email with any questions. (questions will be answered during Tuesday-Friday 11am-6pm, and Saturday 11am-4pm -central standard time) |

Volkswagen's De Silva says next Scirocco will be 'completely different'
Tue, 02 Apr 2013From our perspective, the reborn Volkswagen Scirocco is a handsome (if squat) little thing. Yet design-wise, it's always struck us as uncomfortably close to the Golf three-door hatchback with which it shares its basic underpinnings. That aesthetic kinship may be part of the reason why Volkswagen has steadfastly refused to import the Scirocco to North America, seeing as how the Golf doesn't regularly set the company's sales charts alight, and it's less expensive.
But that visual similarity might be about to change, says Walter De Silva, who recently told Australia's Car Advice that, "It must be completely different... we don't want to repeat the bodystyle of the Scirocco, we want to change that." Further, the Volkswagen Group's design boss says that the next-generation car isn't terribly far along in development yet - "at the moment, it's only a studio [project]... it's not defined." It's probably just as well, as the new seventh-generation Golf arguably borrows some of its design from the current Scirocco anyway.
So we should expect a much bolder, more differentiated design, right? Well, yes, no and maybe. Back in September, De Silva himself was quoted as saying that the era of flamboyant styling has passed, and that future VW designs will be simpler to better reflect the times and preserve resale value. So... how different could it be?
Volkswagen Tiguan and Touareg take the R-Line
Mon, 14 Jan 2013
Volkswagen's Detroit Auto Show presence is big on utility this year, with the CrossBlue three-row concept vehicle occupying the lion's share of the limelight, both literally and figuratively. But that isn't stopping Volkswagen from lavishing attention on its already established crossover and sport utility vehicles with new R-Line derivatives. The Tiguan and its big brother Touareg are getting a host of look-faster items to increase their sporting appeal.
On the outside, the Tiguan R-Line receives handsome 19-inch alloys peering out from beneath fender extensions, premium lighting (bi-Xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lamps), along with matching side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. On the inside, sportier accommodations include aluminum trim and a flat-bottom steering wheel with paddle shifters. As with other R-Line models, there are no powertrain modifications to go with the more aggressive visuals (that being the province of R standalone performance models like the R32), though the suspension has been firmed up an unspecified amount. The Tiguan R-Line will be available in front- or all-wheel drive configuration.
