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) |

Anti-union group files lawsuit against VW and UAW
Fri, 14 Mar 2014The fight for unionization at Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN, factory isn't letting up. Yesterday, the National Labor Relations Board decided to allow anti-United Auto Workers employees at the plant the right to defend voting down the measure. Now, a group called the National Right to Work Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of five workers against VW and the UAW for allegedly working together to organize.
The group says in a release that it wants "to block further collusion between the company and the United Auto Workers." It alleges that VW forced workers to attend "mandatory pro-union meetings" and prevented managers from opposing. In a rebuttal on its website, the UAW called the claims "baseless" and said its actions were entirely legal.
One possible problem faces the carmaker in regards to the lawsuit. According to the Detroit Free Press, a recent US Court of Appeals ruling found that neutrality agreements like the one the business had with the UAW could be illegal if the company provided "things of value" to the union. The newspaper also claims that VW held a mandatory employee meeting concerning the election, but workers were free to leave during the UAW's presentation.
UAW tactics called into question at VW's TN plant
Thu, 26 Sep 2013The United Auto Workers is in hot water with some of the very workers it is trying to unionize at Volkswagen's Chattanooga assembly plant. According to The Tennessean, eight Volkswagen factory workers have filed complaints against the UAW with the National Labor Relations Board, claiming the union "misled or coerced" them into formally asking for union representation.
The UAW has instituted a major push at the Chattanooga plant to represent the 2,500 hourly laborers that build the VW Passat by using what's called a card-check process. The tactic is opposed by the National Right to Work Legal Defense foundation, the group representing the workers. The card-check process demands that a company recognize a union that obtains the signatures of more than half its workforce, according to The Tennessean. This tactic is in contrast to the more traditional route, which sees employees vote on union representation.
The workers filing the complaint claim that the UAW told them the cards merely called for a secret ballot, rather than an outright demand for union representation. Workers also allege that the UAW has made it overly difficult to reclaim their signed cards, some of which were signed so long ago that they have been rendered invalid. Although the cards can force a company's hand, federal law still allows the company to ask for a secret ballot before yielding to unionized workers.
Recharge Wrap-up: Smart Fortwo engine fires, Tesla finalist for Extole Advocacy and Customer Experience award
Thu, Dec 22 2016NHTSA has launched a preliminary investigation into complaints of Smart Fortwo engine fires. So far, the agency has received eight complaints about the rear engine compartment catching fire in model year 2008 and 2009 Fortwos and quickly engulfing the car. Six of the fires occurred while driving and were preceded by a check engine light. "The safety of our customers is our primary concern, and we are cooperating with NHTSA in its inquiry," says parent company Mercedes-Benz. "We are not aware of any injuries related to this inquiry."

The funds will be used to fix or buy back some 105,000 affected cars, compensate owners between $3,815 and $4,451 above the buyback price, and pay a $11.2 million civil fine. So far, VW has agreed to spend over $18 billion in North America in connection with its diesel emissions cheating, and is expected to settle on a resolution of its 3.0-liter diesel vehicles in the US soon.

The award recognizes companies that turn customers into brand advocates through referral programs. In Tesla's current program, customers who buy a car using a referral link get $1,000 off the price of their car, while referring owners are awarded prizes including a signed Powerwall 2 and invitations to unveiling events. Referring owners are also entered into a drawing to win a Model S or Model X. "With a disdain for paid advertising, Tesla Motors is leading the trend of reaching new customers through existing ones," says Extole. The other finalists are Hanna Andersson and Ulta Beauty.
