THIS IS AN ORIGINAL CALIFORNIA CAR 1972 VOLKSWAGEN WESTFALIA CAMPMOBILE BUS WITH THE POP TOP CANVAS SLEEPER AND 1700cc ENGINE. HAS 91,XXX MILES. THIS IS THE STRAIGHTEST, MOST RUST-FREE VINTAGE VW I'VE EVER SEEN. I'M NO EXPERT, BUT I'VE LOOKED AT QUITE A FEW. IT RUNS AND DRIVES WELL. VIDEOS AND PICTURES TELL THE STORY, BUT I'LL LIST AS MUCH AS I CAN HERE:

PROS:

MINIMAL SURFACE RUST (SOME "WORSE" SPOTS, BUT THEY ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN).
SUPER STRAIGHT BODY (ONE SPOT AT ENGINE BAY DOOR BOTTOM HAS DAMAGE).
ENGINE, TRANNY AND CLUTCH ARE STRONG.
NEW TIRES.
BRAKES ARE STRONG, NO PULLING.
LIGHTS AND SIGNALS WORK.
WIPERS WORK ON BOTH SPEEDS, BUT SOMETHING DID START SQUEAKING ON AND OFF AFTER TWO HOURS OF USE.
GLASS AND SCREENS ARE ALL GOOD AND WINDOWS ALL WORK.
AFTERMARKET RADIO WITH REMOTE AND SPEAKERS.
SUPER CLEAN INTERIOR.
GREAT POP TOP CANVAS (MINIMAL SMALL HOLES) WITH OEM FOLDING SLEEPER.
SPEEDO AND ODOMETER WORK.
BONUS SOLAR PANEL SYSTEM WITH 120V AND 12V CAPABILITY.
SINK WORKS, NICE ICE BOX.
DOORS ALL WORK WELL. SOME OF THE LOCKS ARE QUITE TIGHT TO TURN, BUT THEY ALL WORK.
COMES WITH TWO KEYS.
ORIGINAL MANUALS INCLUDED.

CONS:

PAINT: MATTE BROWN ON THE BOTTOM WAS SPRAYED ON BY PREVIOUS OWNER. NOT TERRIBLE, BUT NOT GREAT. A CLEAR COAT ON IT WOULD DO WONDERS, BUT A COMPLETE RE-SPRAY WOULD TAKE THIS BUS TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
CHIP COATING APPLIED TO THE FRONT.
COUPLE SMALL CRACKS IN THE DASH.
RUBBER LATCH HANDLE ON THE GLOVE BOX IS TEARING FROM ITS BASE, BUT STILL WORKS.
INTERIOR HANDLE FOR SIDE DOOR HAS BROKEN. NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. DOOR STILL OPENS WITH ATTACHED VISE GRIP PLIERS.
SMALL HOLES IN THE TOP CANVAS.
ENGINE STALLED ON ME A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN COLD. MAY NEED ATTENTION. RUNS DOWN THE ROAD LIKE A CHAMP.
SOME FLUID LEAKS AT ENGINE. NOT SURE FROM WHERE, BUT IS PRETTY MINOR. OIL LEVEL WAS GOOD WHEN I CHECKED IT.
DENT AT REAR BOTTOM OF ENGINE BAY DOOR.

IF I MISSED ANYTHING (I'M SURE I HAVE), PLEASE ASK. WATCH BOTH VIDEOS FIRST. THANKS TO ALL FOR LOOKING!

Volkswagen breaks 40-year-old sales record in 2012

Sun, 13 Jan 2013

The last time Volkswagen moved this many vehicles in America in one year, Richard Nixon was still a President in good standing, Let It Be was a radio hit and each car wearing the VW badge boasted an air-cooled engine. That's right, with a grand total of 580,286 vehicles sold in the US last year, the VW Group has broken its own four-decades-old sales record by 2,899 vehicles.
Of that 580k total sold, 438k were Volkswagens and 139k were Audi products - increases of 35.1 percent and 18.5 percent, respectively, in year-over-year sales. The ultra-premium members of the VW group also fared well; Bentley delivered 2,315 vehicles for a 23.3-precent increase, and Lamborghini delivered 520 units for a 52.9-percent jump. Bugatti, we're told is "right on track."
Jetta (pictured) sales paced the marque with 170k models sold, and Passat also finished very strong with sales of 117k total. Tiguan also racked up its best year on file, with 31,731 models shifted.

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.

VW redoes A-ha's 'Take On Me' music video

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

Volkswagen has been responsible for its fair share of witty, clever commercials. "Tiny Vader" might be the most popular, but somehow, we think this newest spot will find a big audience. VW delivers not so much a cover, but a reimagining, of 1980s Norwegian pop band A-ha's famous music video for "Take On Me."
The original opens with an animated motorcycle race, which is revealed to be part of a comic book. VW's version replaces the motorcycle with a Passat, which strikes us as an oddly sober choice when there are cars like the GTI and Beetle in VW's portfolio. But never mind that - take a look down below for the entire 46-second spot. For reference, we've also included the original music video. And if you aren't a fan of the musical stylings of A-ha, just think, VW's choice of 1980s music could have been much worse.
