1977 VW Westfalia
Runs and Drives Excellent
This Westy was part of an estate and has been stored in a heated warehouse since 1996. It is clean and virtually rust free. The odometer shows 56,504 miles. The engine was overhauled to the tune of $3000.00 at 56,479 miles in 1996 (have receipt) so the engine has about 25 miles on it.
I had it towed to a reputable VW mechanic shop and had them go through the bus and get it running. They drained the gas, replaced the fuel pump and filter, cleaned injectors, new plugs, inspected brakes, put new bushing in the shift linkage and installed correct 185R14 light truck tires. A good spare tire was bolted to the front and a new battery installed. The owner of the shop said the bus is clean enough that the mileage could be 56k, not 156k. He was very impressed with how rust free the body and undercarriage was. Mechanically the bus is in great shape.
It is also equipped with a DPD air conditioning unit. Although it is not currently working all of the components are there from the compressor to the under dash unit.
The body is in good shape except for a dent in the drivers front. The under side of the bus is excellent with no rust. Floors are excellent. Of course it needs paint, but looks presentable the way it is. One of the slat windows is missing from the sliding door. Looks like a little bit of body work was done on the rear 1/4, but it looks good and is difficult to detect. All of the doors open and close great and the slider works the way it should.
The interior is in good shape and very original. Seats are great except for a small tear in the drivers. Beds are good and the original kids cot is included. All of the original curtains are there including the one that goes around the inside of the windshield for privacy at the campground. Cabinets need some restoration and the original table is missing. All of the gauges work to include fuel gauge. Radio is missing. Has the sink, ice box, and inverter.
The canvas top is the original unit and is in good condition but has some pin holes in the front.
Overall this is a good driver and an excellent candidate for restoration.
Call 719-557-1755 anytime with questions. If you need to see something not covered in the auction photos call and I can text or email what you need.
Unless other arrangements are made through me a $500.00 deposit is due within 24hrs of auction close and I would like full payment within 48hrs.
Thanks!

Porsche-Piech buy 10% stake in VW's holding company
Tue, 18 Jun 2013In August, 2009, as the scuttled merger of Porsche and Volkswagen had gone bad and Porsche was backed up against the ropes, Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAHSE) relinquished a ten-percent stake in itself to Qatar Holdings as well as options it held on 17 percent of VW shares. The sale meant that, for the first time since the founding of the company 61 years before, an entity outside the Porsche and Piech families had a say in the running of PAHSE.
Buying that ten-percent stake back returns full ownership to the two families, the holding company's sole possession being ownership of 50.7 percent of VW's common shares. The price paid wasn't disclosed, but at market rates the purchase would be worth close to $1.25 billion. Qatar intends to hold onto the 17-percent stake it has in Volkswagen.
VW Golf Sportsvan succeeds Golf Plus in Frankfurt
Sun, 08 Sep 2013
Just ahead of this week's Frankfurt Motor Show, Volkswagen has announced the world premiere of its Golf Sportsvan, a near-production concept that succeeds its Golf Plus. VW describes this compact family car as "one of the most versatile vehicles of the compact class," noting that it offers a mix of hatchback and minivan features in a sporty package.
That sportiness comes from the Sportsvan's styling (perhaps more sleek wagon than minivan) and performance features it shares with the Golf GTI - including the XDS+ electronic differential lock, which is integrated into the Electronic Stability Control system to improve agility. At the same time, the Sportsvan's six engine options, which include a turbodiesel, are up to 19-percent more fuel-efficient than their predecessors.
Volkswagen Golf Variant will make a lovely Jetta SportWagen
Tue, 05 Mar 2013In addition to several other versions of the Golf, Volkswagen is debuting the new Golf Variant (read: wagon) here at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. And if this bigger version of the Golf looks like it might fit right at home in the States, it's because we could possibly see some version of this car as the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here on our shores.
Volkswagen is debuting the Golf Variant with two efficient diesel engines, rated at 110 and 150 horsepower, the smaller of which is good for an impressive 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle (when mated to a six-speed manual transmission). The Golf Variant also gets a version of Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, making it incredibly all-weather capable.
It's a handsome estate, and it wears the new Golf's design language well. We can't say for sure if this car will actually make its way Stateside, but given the fact that the current Jetta SportWagen still rides on the old Golf platform, the odds look to be in our favor.
