1977 VW BUS CAMPMOBILE WESTFALIA

You are looking at a perfect example of a 1977 Westfalia Campmobile in outstanding condition... Like stepping back in time!

I am the second owner of this true barn find from California which I purchased in 2006.

This bus is and has always been 100% road worthy.  I have done all maintenance myself and have had ZERO issues mechanically.  I would not hesitate to drive this bus anywhere in the world tomorrow!

It runs great and starts every time in all weather conditions. 

Idles perfectly, great compression in all cylinders, upgraded electronic ignition. Newer matching fuel pump (still has all Fuel Injection working 100%), newer coil. newer battery. Very good fuel economy - mid 20's mpg. Odometer shows 20,300 miles, however, that is actually 120,300.

Transmission shifts very clean in all gears, never pops out. Front disk brakes, rear drum all in good shape.  She stops straight on a dime.
Suspension is also great, drives perfectly straight and smooth with just one finger on the wheel.  She wears top rated Hankook tires with only a few thousand miles on them. Includes matching spare as well. I also had the gas tank removed in 2007.. it was sandblasted and treated with lifetime material so there will never be "rust in the gas" issue that many older VW's experience.  The fuel injection system runs 100% smooth and gets low to mid 20 mpg consistently.

Exterior looks awesome, the bus was repainted in 2006 with original Chrome yellow VW paint, and also had a new canvas installed at the same time. All original glass in great condition.

Accident free bus. just a few tiny spots of surface rust near original window rubber (only the front windshield rubber has been replaced)... which can be very easily repaired (if you wanted to make this a perfect showroom type bus).  This bus would win nearly any show entered in as is.  Might be the finest looking and running bus east of the Mississippi :)

All electrical working.

This is an unmolested bus which has not been restored.  what you see is what you get... NO hidden problems.

Also includes:

- Original carpet front and back. 

- Original plaid upholstery (I do have a roll of original plaid which will be included in sale if ever needed) 

- Original like new rear hatch mosquito net. 

- Original child's cot or hammock for front cabin. 

- Dual Battery set-up (power is drawn from second battery while camping)

- Small solar panel for trickle charging while camping.

- 400 watt DC to AC inverter with 2 outlets.

- Tachometer, Oil temperature and Dakota Digital Cylinder head temperature gauges.

I have done my best to describe the vehicle... Please do not hesitate to ask questions or request additional photos or videos.
I am sure the winning bidder will be 100% satisfied with this classic!  GOOD LUCK!!!

I am located near BOSTON, Massachusetts. 02066. all INTERNATIONAL BUYERS WELCOME - I CAN ASSIST WITH SHIPPING TO ANYWHERE WORLDWIDE at buyers expense.

This is a nearly 40 year old vehicle and is sold in AS IS condition with no warranties expressed or implied.

Only VW, Volvo are doing enough to electrify in Europe, study says

Wed, Jun 16 2021

Among major carmakers, Volkswagen and Volvo are doing enough to electrify their vehicle lineups in Europe, and the EU needs to set tougher CO2 emission limits if it wants to meet Green Deal targets, according to a climate group's study. Sales of battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids almost tripled last year, boosted by tighter emission standards and government subsidies. This summer, the European Union is expected to announce more ambitious CO2 targets; by 2030, the average CO2 emissions of new cars should be 50% below 2021 levels, versus the existing target of 37.5%. Volkswagen aims to have 55% group-wide BEV sales in Europe by 2030, while Swedish carmaker Volvo, owned by China's Geely says its lineup will be fully electric by then. VW ID4 front three quarter dark View 19 Photos Based on IHS Markit car production forecasts, according to the study from European campaign group Transport and Environment (T&E), Volkswagen and Volvo have "aggressive and credible strategies" to shift from fossil-fuel cars to electric vehicles. Others like Ford Motor Co have set ambitious targets, "but lack a robust plan to get there," T&E said. Ford plans an all-electric lineup in Europe by 2030. T&E said BMW, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), Daimler AG and Toyota rank the worst as they have low BEV sales, have "no ambitious phase-out targets, no clear industrial strategy, and an over-reliance in the case of BMW, Daimler and Toyota on hybrids." JLR, owned by India's Tata Motors, says its luxury Jaguar brand will be all-electric by 2025, but has been less specific about electrification of its higher-volume Land Rover brand. BMW and Daimler have been reluctant to set hard deadlines for phasing out fossil-fuel cars. T&E said even if carmakers meet their targets, in 2030 BEV sales could be 10 percentage points below those needed to meet the EU's Green Deal — which targets net zero emissions by 2050. Rather than a 50% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2030, based on carmakers' existing production plans, the EU could set more ambitious targets, T&E said - an up to 35% reduction in CO2 emissions from new cars by 2025, around 50% by 2027 and up to 70% in 2030. "Targets need to be gradually tightened so that carmakers not only commit to phasing out fossil fuels, but develop a strategy that gets them there on time," Julia Poliscanova, T&E senior director for vehicles and e-mobility, said in a statement.

Final Volkswagen Eos to leave the plant in May

Tue, Feb 24 2015

Volkswagen has made no secret of its plans to wind down production of the Eos hardtop convertible, and the automaker has already celebrated the model's retirement in the US with the Final Edition (pictured above). However, the company now has an actual time for that end to come. The final Eos rolls off the line from the VW factory in Portugal in May, according to Germany's Automobilwoche, and European customers have until March 27 to get any final orders in. The company has no plans to offer a successor, it previously indicated. After about nine years of production and some 230,000 made, the Eos proved to be a success, at least in its home market of Germany. A VW spokesperson told Automobilwoche it was the country's bestselling hardtop convertible at one point, but customer preferences have changed toward preferring soft-top models. That switch spelled doom for the Eos. Drivers who want some wind in their hair still have some choices in the VW lineup. The Beetle Convertible remains on sale in the US, and Europeans also get the droptop Golf.

How VW's hyper-efficient XL1 will influence the next Golf

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

In 2007, the European Union mandated fleet average CO2 emissions of 158.7 g/km. For 2015, that figure will drop to 130 g/km, and the target for 2020 is an ambitions 95 g/km. Thanks to some German politicking, that target will be phased in from 2020 to 2024, but it will still apply to 80 percent of passenger cars in that first year. In US miles per gallon, that's the equivalent of going from about 35 mpg to 42 mpg to 57 mpg. The current Volkswagen Golf is rated from 85 g/km of CO2 to 190 g/km depending on model - and zero for the e-Golf, so for the next-generation MkVIII hatch due in 2019, to meet the goal, Volkswagen engineers will need to introduce a bunch of new tricks. According to a report in Autocar, VW be mining its hyper-efficient XL1 for some of them.
Predictions for the next Golf include a variable-compression engine, an electric flywheel and an electric turbo, along with taking greater advantage of coasting. Volkswagen could be getting help from Audi with the electric turbo and variable-compression engine and electric turbo, with Audi already having shown off the former and brand technical boss Ulrich Hackenberg confirming the VW Group is working on the latter. It's possible the flywheel system could also have the mark of The Four Rings: Autocar mentions a British system that Volvo is testing, but the R18 e-tron Quattro racer has been using one for years.
The need for such features is because the company won't be able to net enough future gains from just aerodynamic improvements and advanced materials. As price will be a factor (the regulations are expected to "add hundreds of euros to the cost of building a car"), adding much more aluminum or carbon fiber is an unlikely option. We're told the next generation won't be longer or wider than the current car, and being Europe's most popular model, VW doesn't want to make a big bet on futuristic aero, but the report says the MkVIII will "likely" have "the most aerodynamic treatment yet seen on a production vehicle," the area where lessons learned from the XL1 will truly be seen.
