 You are looking at a 1973 VW Bus Westfalia Camper addition.  This is the tin top version that doesn't have a pop up top.  I have heard it referred to as the poor mans camper.  It does have the sink, icebox, the folding tables, the bench seat that folds out into a bed.  It also comes with the kiddie cot that goes above the drivers area.  This van has been somewhat of a daily driver for me.   It runs great with no complaints at all.  Really fun to drive.  It is a 4 speed manual and the clutch works fine, transmission shifts fine.  It does have the typical sloppy shifter but I've had no trouble with it at all.  The fuel gauge doesn't work.  I haven't gotten around to fixing that one.  Speedometer and odometer work fine.  I absolutely love this thing, but have to sell only to make room for a new addition.  We are also listing our 72 Beetle as well.  The garage is full and it has to go.  It has all new brakes, some new brake hoses, new battery, nice tread on the tires.  Carb was rebuilt recently as well.  I also just replaced the windshield and seal.  It had that typical haze around the edges and the seal was starting to rot.  The doors and windows all work great.  I also recently replaced the starter. 

There is some rust here and there, but as you can see in the pictures, it isn't terminal.  The floorboards and underside are solid.  I have some repair panels that go with it too.  There is a panel to replace the spot at the pass side rear wheel and a new battery tray.  I have been driving this to work on a regular basis and it's been great.  The driver side seat belt shoulder strap is shot.  The rest of them work fine. 

It has a 1600 VW upright motor in it.  Parts are easy to find and get to.  It runs perfect and very cool.  I had heard that running an upright in the back of a bus can lead to overheating.  This bus has been driven in the hottest summer months and even up the mountain with no trouble at all.  It actually runs cooler than the beetle I have. I assure you, no worries at all taking this van anywhere.

Feel free to call or email me with any questions or to request more pictures.

I have set this up with NO RESERVE.  A bit of a risk, but it needs to go. 

Thanks for your consideration.

VW Group recalls 27k Touaregs, Audis and Porsches for fuel leak

Tue, Jan 27 2015

The Volkswagen Group is one of the most expansive in the entire industry, and shares parts across more product lines than we could wrap our heads around. So when the German megalith finds a fault in one of its components, it has the capacity to spread like wildfire. The latest set of recall notices from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration covers vehicles from the Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche divisions. The problem revolves around the fuel injection system, which could potentially leak and cause a fire. The recall affects – deep breath now – the 2012 VW Touareg Hybrid, the 2011-12 Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid and Panamera S Hybrid, 2011-12 Audi S4, S5 and Q7 and the 2012-13 Audi A7. All told, that amounts to 27,376 units, the owners of which can expect to hear from the manufacturer to have the fuel rails replaced, along with their corresponding seals (having nothing to do with marine mammals writing letters). RECALL Subject : Fuel Injection System Fuel Leak Report Receipt Date: JAN 20, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V019000 Component(s): FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE Potential Number of Units Affected: 26,008 Manufacturer: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. SUMMARY: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Audi S4, S5, Q7, 2012 Audi A6, Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid, and 2012-2013 Audi A7 vehicles. In the affected vehicles the fuel injection system may experience a fuel leak. CONSEQUENCE: A fuel leak in the injection system in the presence of an ignition source, increases the risk of a fire. REMEDY: Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel rails and corresponding seals, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin March 10, 2015. Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-822-2834 or Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298. Volkswagen's numbers for this recall are 24AP for Audi customers and 24BK for Volkswagen customers. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov. ### RECALL Subject : Fuel Injection System may Leak Report Receipt Date: JAN 20, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V016000 Component(s): ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING Potential Number of Units Affected: 1,368 Manufacturer: Porsche Cars North America, Inc.

Rimac inks deal to purchase 55% of Bugatti from VW Group

Mon, Jul 5 2021

ZAGREB, Croatia — Croatian electric supercar builder Rimac is taking over the iconic French manufacturer Bugatti in a deal that is reported to be worth millions of euros. Rimac said GermanyÂ’s Volkswagen Group, including the Porsche division — which owns a majority stake in Bugatti — plans to create a new joint venture. The new company will be called Bugatti-Rimac. Rimac Automobili announced Monday that it will be combining forces with Bugatti to “create a new automotive and technological powerhouse.” Rimac has progressed in 10 years from a one-man garage startup to a successful company that produces electric supercars. Mate Rimac, who founded the company in 2009, says the venture is an “exciting moment” and calls the combination of the companies “a perfect match for each other.” Porsche will own 45% of Bugatti-Rimac while Rimac Automobili will hold the remaining 55% stake, according to Croatian media reports. Financial details of the deal were not published. Bugattis will continue to be assembled in eastern France, where the company was established in 1909. The vehicles will use engines developed and made in Croatia. “In an industry evolving at ever-increasing speed, flexibility, innovation and sustainability remain at the very core of RimacÂ’s operations," the company said. “Uniting RimacÂ’s technical expertise and lean operations with BugattiÂ’s 110-year heritage of design and engineering prowess represents a fusion of leading automotive minds."
