Idaho Falls, Idaho, United States

Up for auction today we have a 1974 Volkswagen Westfalia Campmobile.  This bus had the engine rebuilt 5 or 6 years ago and was then parked due to leaky heat exchangers.  The engine is very clean and looks to be fairly fresh.  When the engine was rebuilt it was upgraded to a 2.0 Liter.  We recently had all the fuel lines replaced and the carbs rebuilt.  The bus starts right up and runs good once its warm.  The battery has also been replaced within the last 30 days.  The brakes work well but have not been gone through by us.  The front has disc brakes and the rears are drums.  The interior on this bus is in very respectable condition.  We sent it to a professional detail shop right after we got it and it cleaned up very nice.  The upper bunk area pads are missing but the rest of the interior is there.  The canvas top has some holes in it as shown in the photos where mice chewed through the top.  The curtain rods and curtains are there but are not shown in the photos.  The curtains are in OK shape but have some holes and water stains.  The gas gauge is not currently working.  The front rubber floor mat is also missing.  The bus has the matching footstool and childs cot that mounts over the front seats.  This is a running driving project that still needs some work to be nice.  There is a fair amount of rust in the outer rocker panels but the floors and structure of the frame are solid.  Take a good look at the photos as we have tried to photograph the good, the bad and the ugly.  Should be no surprises on this one.  The heat exchangers on this bus seem to be leaking.  We attempted to hook up the heater but there was a lot of exhaust coming in with the heat.  There is also a lot of smoke that seems to be coming up through the air inlet when the bus is stopped.  I believe this smoke is coming from the leaks in the heat exchangers.   We haven't tested any of the camper accessories.  Bid with confidence and bid to win.  We are happy to help on our end with International buyers but shipping costs and arrangement are the responsibility of the buyer.  We realize it may take a couple weeks to arrange your shipping and can store the bus inside our warehouse until you get your shipping worked out.  Thanks for checking out our auction and good luck bidding. Check below for a youtube video tour of the bus.  Please feel free to call with any questions you have about the bus.  Jeremy. (208)200-6053

Chrysler and Fiat offering $1,000 rebates to VW owners as Marchionne gets tough

Mon, 10 Dec 2012

The throw-down between Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne and Volkswagen has heated up in earnest. According to Bloomberg, Fiat and Chrysler are now offering current Volkswagen owners in the US $1,000 rebates to trade in their ride. It's the latest in a series of shots Marchionne has taken at his German rival. As you may recall, the Fiat executive entered into a spat with Volkwagen board chairman Ferdinand Piëch and CEO Martin Winterkorn in October after the duo called for Marchionne's resignation from presidency of the European Automotive Manufacturers Association (AECA). At the time, the Volkswagen executives were quoted as saying Fiat would not survive the European economic downturn.
In response, Marchionne called the German executives "reprehensible," and accused Volkswagen of using a pricing strategy that has created created a "bloodbath" in the EU. Volkswagen has taken to steep discounting to carve out ever-larger slices of market share in Europe, but the company has a much smaller foothold in the US. Marchionne may be trying to hit Volkswagen where the manufacturer is weakest with the new Fiat new incentive program.
Late last week, the Fiat executive was voted to a second term as ACEA president.

VW Jetta GLI, Peugeot 505 are MotorWeek's 1986 Euro sport sedan alternatives

Tue, Dec 23 2014

Video reviews have become a mainstay of automotive journalism, but long before every publication turned on its video cameras and started uploading to YouTube, there was one program that was blazing the trail. That, of course, was MotorWeek, the television car program produced by Maryland Public Television and hosted by the inimitable John Davis. The program first aired back in 1981, and after more than three decades in the business, it's got a considerable archive of old episodes to unearth. In this latest gem recovered from the MotorWeek back catalog, the program pitted two European sports sedans against each other: a Volkswagen Jetta GLI and a Peugeot 505 Turbo. That's right: back in the 1980s, Peugeot was still competing in the US marketplace. The forced-induction 505 may not have been enough to keep the French automaker in American showrooms, but it was enough to stand up against the VW. Which one won MotorWeek's favor? You'll just have to watch the six-minute clip to find out. News Source: MotorWeek via YouTube Volkswagen Peugeot Economy Cars Performance Videos Sedan vw jetta gli
