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 Cross Up! aimed at rugged lifestyle folks, complete with plastic cladding
Wed, 06 Mar 2013If you thought there was nothing wrong with the Volkswagen Up! that a little body cladding wouldn't fix, you're in luck. VW has officially pulled the wraps off the production version of the Cross Up!, and its wheel arches and rocker panels are full of the black plastic cladding you've been yearning for.
In addition to the "particularly rugged design and tough, lifestyle qualities" that the cladding exudes, VeeDub has also seen fit to put its Cross Up! on a new set of 16-inch alloy wheels clad in 185/50-series tires. Inside, there are new kick plates to go along with a dash pad that can be had in red, black or silver.
All that cladding must equal additional off-road readiness, right? Well, sure... just so long as you're fine with the same 75-horsepower three-cylinder engine that all other Up! models also feature, along with a five-speed manual transmission sending power to the front wheels, again, just like all other Up! models. The Cross Up! appears to have a taller ride height than other models, but we haven't been able to find out what - if any - changes have been made.
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.
Audi CEO's Dieselgate arrest threatens fragile truce among VW stakeholders
Tue, Jun 19 2018FRANKFURT — The arrest and detention of Audi's chief executive forces Volkswagen Group's competing stakeholders to renegotiate the delicate balance of power that has helped keep Audi CEO Rupert Stadler in office. Volkswagen's directors are discussing how to run Audi, its most profitable division, following the arrest of the brand's long-time boss on Monday as part of Germany's investigations into the carmaker's emissions cheating scandal. The supervisory board of Audi, meanwhile, has suspended Stadler and appointed Dutchman Bram Schot as an interim replacement, a source familiar with the matter said on Tuesday. Schot joined the Volkswagen Group in 2011 after having worked as president and CEO of Mercedes-Benz Italia. He has been Audi's board member for sales and marketing since last September. The discussions risk reigniting tensions among VW's controlling Piech and Porsche families, its powerful labor representatives and its home region of Lower Saxony. VW has insisted the development of illegal software, also known as "defeat devices," installed in millions of cars was the work of low-level employees, and that no management board members were involved. U.S. prosecutors have challenged this by indicting VW's former chief executive Martin Winterkorn. Stadler's arrest raises further questions. Audi and VW said on Monday that Stadler was presumed innocent unless proved otherwise. Munich prosecutors detained Stadler to prevent him from obstructing a probe into Audi's emissions cheating, they said on Monday. Stadler is being investigated for suspected fraud and false advertising. Here are the main factors deciding the fate of Audi. Background: Audi's role in Dieselgate Volkswagen Group was plunged into crisis in 2015 after U.S. regulators found Europe's biggest carmaker had equipped cars with software to cheat emissions tests on diesel engines. The technique of using software to detect a pollution test procedure, and to increase the effectiveness of emissions filters to mask pollution levels only during tests, was first developed at Audi. "In designing the defeat device, VW engineers borrowed the original concept of the dual-mode, emissions cycle-beating software from Audi," VW said in its plea agreement with U.S. authorities in January 2017, in which the company agreed to pay a $4.3 billion fine to reach a settlement with U.S. regulators.
