1974 Volkswagen Campmobile Factory Air on 2040-cars
Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States
This Campmobile was originally bought in the bay area. It was purchased
in 1975 Westfalia by the current owner and brought to New Mexico. The
tourist car invoice showing the chassis # and options is included with
paperwork, it states:
Chassis- 23 42149961 Campmobile US Spec Deluxe camp equip w/elevating roof Vent windows in drivers compartment VW Air Conditioner Yosemite Yellow Green Blue Cloth Upholstery A short history from current owner: "This Pop Top was bought in California and driven coast to coast to and across Canada. The first year of ownership, they camped out 90 nights and four people can sleep comfortably. It has propane cooking and a fridge. We had a new engine installed in Anchorage, a larger 1.8L. We also removed a/c compressor and the dual carbs." The engine is a 1.8L with hydraulic lifter and a "009" distributor. Other features: Removable dinette table, rear bench seat/folding bed, sink, ice box, cooking top, air conditioning (compressor removed), propane tank, sink. Full size spare mounted in front. It is in good shape and has normal wear and tear from 30+ years of camping. The top canvas has some small tears and should be replaced at some point. The rear seat was reupholstered, but all the other original fabric is in place. The floor was also tiled in the back area. It was repainted here in Albuquerque and does has some minor rust in the drivers side rear wheel well and some cracking in the paint. It runs well, just had a recent timing and carb adjustment, new intake manifold gaskets and boots, tune-up and valve adjustment. The tires are dry rotted and need to be replaced soon. I have post on YouTube a short video and more pictures of the car running you can see it @ http://youtu.be/iLdLoDgOejQ |

Volkswagen Golf Variant Concept R-Line puts the sport in SportWagen
Wed, 06 Mar 2013With the introduction of the newest Volkswagen Golf Variant, we get an early look at what will most likely be the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here in the US. To further wet our appetities, VW is now teasing something a little sportier with the Concept R-Line. Looking the part of a GTI wagon (or a stretched Golf R), the Golf Variant Concept R-Line has a production-ready appearance that has us hoping we'll see this sporty wagon sooner rather than later.
The R-Line starts off with a new fascia that isn't quite as aggressive as the recently introduced GTI, but it gives the new styling some extra punch. Below the fascia is a lower splitter that visually carries back into the rocker panel extensions, and the rear of the car gets some bright exhaust tips and a rear diffuser. The Lapis Blue Metallic paint job probably does enough on its own to add a sporty flair to the Golf wagon, and it's all finished off with 18-inch split-spoke wheels. Inside, the Concept R-Line shows off sport seats wrapped in carbon leather featuring blue nappa inserts in the middle.
Rightfully so, VW brought the Concept R-Line to Geneva with its TDI and 4Motion all-wheel-drive system. A sporty, all-wheel-drive diesel wagon? Yes, please. Scroll down for the full press blast with all the details.
Volkswagen to add 50k jobs by 2018
Thu, 04 Apr 2013Volkswagen still has its eyes set on becoming the top global automaker by 2018, and to get there, it's apparently going to need more boots on the ground. Automotive News Europe is reporting that VW is looking to increase its staff by 50,000 over the next five years - an increase of nine percent - which does not include an increase in its US dealer network.
According to the report, a majority of the growth will come from China where the automaker is also looking to double its production capacity in the same time frame. The Volkswagen Group is already expected to rival General Motors for the top sales spot in China this year, and such a rapid expansion in the region could make a good springboard for sales increases in other countries.
