1972 VW Campmobile! This bus was owned by a lady in Marshalltown Iowa and was owned until 1996. I have her notebook detailing every fillip and trip from 1972-1995!!!. It was wholesaled when she traded it and ended up in Florida where the second owner purchased it. I bought it from them in 2007 and it was not running. The pics show all the receipts for parts and labor I have had done. All work was done professionally not by me. The Bus is awesome to drive and here is a list of what has been done in the past 5 years and I have put less than 2000 miles on the bus since:
-Engine rebuilt by Wayne Pachico, the local VW expert. Wayne actually held the world VW Bug drag record for a short while! The engine has been completely rebuilt but I didn't have the parts painted so it still looks old. Engine is solid and sound runs perfect! See pic for details -New brakes, drums, pads, lines, calipers, hoses, cylinders, shoes -New paint outside and door jambs. -New Hankook tires -New windshield -all rubber seals on bus are new including windows, doors, handles, engine compartment, sliding door. Every seal is new, $920 kit -New upholstery on interior. Seats, Bed, floor mats, carpet -New OEM tent and matching cot. I found this from a guy that's uncle was an O eM tent maker for. VW and he had it since the late 70's! -New JVC stereo system, very nice CD, Sirius XM ready and plug in your IPhone! -New Front. Emblem -New side mirrors -New sun visors -New tail lights, headlights, signal lights -New chrome hubcaps I'm sure I missed some things but you get the general idea that everything on the bus is new! It is a great ride, I drive it enough to keep it fresh and had a blast getting it back on the road but it needs to go. Please feel free to email me with any questions as I have tried to describe the bus as accurately as I can it is 42 years old but drives like a new one ! The bus is at 35741 zip code for shipping quotes. I would feel very comfortable driving the bus anywhere. Last fall I drove it every day for 6 weeks while my truck was being repaired and never had the first issue. Very dependable! Good luck and happy camping! On Jun-03-14 at 13:10:08 PDT, seller added the following information: The sink and extra seats pictured come with the bus. I also have the original hubcaps and the original stereo. The underside is in good condition. The only rust is where the battery sits which is pretty normal. I just didn't get to it. It's a cheap fix but doesn't have to be done. Thx just trying to give full disclosure. Happy Camping! |

CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over
Mon, 03 Sep 2012
After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.
VW's Winterkorn tells 20,000 staffers of big cost-cutting plans
Thu, 24 Jul 2014During a gathering of 20,000 Volkswagen Group employees at company headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany on Wednesday, CEO Martin Winterkorn dropped a bombshell. The boss stated that the automaker isn't operating efficiently enough and admitted the company needs to radically start cutting back to raise its profit margins. To right the ship, Winterkorn has proposed killing off less profitable models and spending less on research and development.
According to Reuters, Winterkorn wants to raise the VW brand's profit margin from about 2.9 percent in 2013 to a target of 6 percent. To make that possible, his plan amounts to increasing cost cutting until Volkswagen reaches about 5 billion euros ($6.7 billion) per year to get things back in order. "Over the short-term, we urgently need more efficiency and higher profit," the CEO said during his speech, according to Reuters.
However, Winterkorn can't make these decisions unilaterally. Volkswagen's works council also has a seat on the supervisory board to represent laborers, and it isn't likely to take the proposed cuts sitting down.
VW confirms new TDI for second half of 2014 in Golf, Jetta, Passat and Beetle
Tue, 18 Mar 2014Diesel lovers rejoice. Volkswagen is bringing the latest iteration of its 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel engine - dubbed the EA288 - to the 2015 model year Golf, Jetta, Passat, Beetle (2013 model pictured above) and Beetle Convertible, and the cars will be on sale in the second half of 2014.
While it shares its moniker with the old diesel, the new engine produces 150 horsepower, a 10-hp boost, and 236 pound-feet of torque. VW promises improved fuel economy as well, but it hasn't announced specifically what amount yet. The company claims that despite the same displacement, only the bore spacing is shared with the previous version. The mill includes new features like exhaust gas recirculation, an intercooler integrated into the intake manifold and low-friction camshaft bearings.
VW Group of America has had great success with diesels in the US recently. Vee-Dub and Audi sold 105,899 diesel-equipped models in 2013. It was the first time the group ever sold over 100,000 diesels in a year, and they accounted for 24 percent of sales. Scroll down to read the full press release about the announcement.
