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.

Hyundai tops VW and Buick in China, survey says

Wed, Apr 15 2015

You may be aware of the long-time competition in China between Volkswagen and Buick, but another brand apparently should be in that conversation too: Hyundai. In a recently published annual consumer survey, the Korean company actually took the top spot to beat out its German and American rivals in second and third, respectively. The results were part of the China Brand Power Index that interviewed 11,500 people around the nation and was paid for by the country's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. While Hyundai proved popular with voters, its sales haven't necessarily shown that yet. According to Bloomberg, the brand had falling numbers in China for the first quarter of the year. Even Ford outsold the South Korean automaker in the same period, despite scoring lower on the survey. Meanwhile, Audi ranked as the populace's favorite luxury brand, which is hardly a surprise given the Four Rings' strong sales in China. In January alone the automaker saw a 15-percent boost in volume there. Parent company VW's strong performance was somewhat more surprising, though. State media severely criticized the German automaker in March, and customers protested last year for the allegedly poor handling of a recall.

Next-gen Volkswagen Golf R spied while running the 'Ring

Tue, 16 Apr 2013

The launch of a new Volkswagen Golf is never a small thing, and things are already looking up for the subcompact hatchback after it was named 2013 World Car of the Year. While we've already seen the base and GTI versions of the next-generation Golf, now we're getting our first look at the sportier Golf R.
Although this prototype wears GTI lettering on the front fenders, it's more than just the roll cage and Sparco racing seat hinting that this is something a little more serious. Unlike the Golf and GTI, this car shows that the Golf R will continue to flaunt massive air intakes on each side of the fascia, and the rear of the car (though it's hard to see) has quadruple exhaust outlets. We still don't have an official word on power, but rumors indicate that the next Golf R could be pushing close to 300 horsepower, making it the most powerful production Golf ever. As much fun as we had during our first drive of the Golf R Cabriolet in the cold, snowy French Riviera last month, more power is a warming idea.

Cost-cutting measures put VW Beetle in jeopardy

Tue, Mar 10 2015

Volkswagen is on a mission to cut costs. That means producing more models across its various brands based on the same platforms and powertrains, but the latest word from Germany has it that it will also mean cutting some of the VW brand's less successful models. First on the chopping block, according to German publication Der Spiegel, is the three-door version of the Polo, which will reportedly cede its place to the five-door version exclusively. The elimination of that model alone is said to save VW a good 200 million euros, putting it on its way towards reducing the brand's costs by a targeted five billion euros. The Polo isn't the only one in danger, though. The Eos, as we know, is not due to be replaced, but the future of the Beetle could be in jeopardy as well. The Beetle may be one of VW's most iconic models, but is hardly its most successful in terms of sales. With the 2014 annual report due to be released shortly, the last full-year sales figures had Volkswagen selling 109,517 Beetles in 2013. That may be more than four times the number of Scirocco models it sold, but hardly puts a dent in the 871,413 Jettas, 824,629 Golfs and 725,291 Polos it sold during the same year.
