http://s1136.photobucket.com/user/richlmonize/library/1973%20blue%20westy%20nakita?sort=2&page=1 Restored Show Quality 1973 Westfalia. Less than 1000 miles on the compete restoration. This restoration is in excellent condition and includes a complete engine rebuild, bodywork/paint, and an custom interior cabinet rebuild. The restoration took 3 years. The van was designed so that it could be used for what it does best for another 20 years, while minimizing maintenance. No expense was spared. Only the best craftsmen were hired for the engine and body work. This bus would be ideal for someone wanting to take it on the road, or wanting a show vehicle. *** SUPER RARE factory continental full upper bed. I have heard of these but never seen one. This is a bed that sleeps two in the pop top area. Unheard of for early Westfalia's. *** I have receipts for well over $18,000 of parts alone going into this bus.

Engine - The engine has under 1000 miles on it and the rebuild was completed in 2011 by the best mechanic on the west coast. The 1973 engine was replaced with a completely rebuilt 1978 fuel injected, hydraulic valve engine to improve performance, drivability and reduce maintenance. The engine compartment was modified to accept the air intake assembly for the 1978 and a new ECU. The engine itself was completely overhauled, including splitting the case, with every piece being inspected, and replaced as needed. The heads were also replaced with quality set of heads. The mechanic also installed a new wiring harness and completed the electrical because we wanted to take advantage of his expertise and ensure compatibility with the new engine. 009 distributor, Bosh coil, header exhaust with newer new engine seal. The bus runs and drives perfect. Paint & Body - Super rare factory Neptune blue Westfalia. This van was completely disassembled and tore down to a shell as seen in the pictures. A high end body shop completed the body work over many months. This shop regularly does high-end restorations and only does quality work. They prepped the bus for the new engine by altering the engine compartment. After the engine was installed, they stripped the bus down to bare metal. All rust and repaired metal as needed. They painted the bus using the original paint codes for factory Neptune blue color. I have pictures documenting the complete restoration. Neptune blue is a very rare color on a Westfalia and normally found on Riviera's. All new blinker and tail light lenses. New head lights and trim rings. Sand blasted and painted rims. Arrow strait front and rear bumpers. Hundreds of man hours and thousands of dollars went into the show quality body and paint job. All wheel wheels were stripped and repainted. The under carriage is clean and in excellent condition. *** New windshield and replaced all of the seals for it and the other windows with OEM German seals. The German seals are not cheap but superior in quality and fit and finish to the non OEM seals. Interior - The dashboard was repainted. What you don't see in the pictures is that Dynamat was strategically placed throughout the vehicle. I wasn't skimpy with it and you can tap along the walls and hear the difference. This greatly reduces road noise.The walls were insulated with Reflectix insulation. Then, the side and roof paneling was reconstructed using 1/8" Baltic Birch sheets.The headliner was sanded and stained as well. New carpet is installed and new custom seat covers were placed on the front seats. These were provided by Sew Fine out of Texas. All the cabinets were custom made using 3/4" Baltic Birch.The cabinets were then sanded and stained. Many hours went into the cabinets and headliner. Custom latches and hinges were used on the cabinets. All of the cushions were remade using new, high quality foam, and new material. New custom curtains. The interior door panels with burlap from reclaimed coffee bags, giving this bus a very unique look. This is a one of a kind interior. The colors picked though they contrast, look amazing and unlike any interior I have ever seen. I installed a custom oak floor using high end engineered flooring. I then trimmed the floor with custom trim. There are no screw or nail holes. The floor is done to a very high standard. The color palate, materials, different woods and textures make this interior truly a one of a kind work of art. Pop Top - Brand new 3 window canvas, all seals, polished luggage bars and tie downs. Completely repainted pop top both top and bottom sides to show quality. Super rare continental upper bed. Other - New battery, new correct Hancook truck rated tires, brakes, shocks, clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, fuel sending unit. New high end Kenwood CD player with remote and a high end speaker custom mounted under the dash in the factory location. The cd player is mp3, i pod and i phone compatible. Custom electronic window washers were installed. All wiring was replaced with a wiring harness for a 78 VW bus to work properly with the fuel injection. All electrical works perfect. New hubcaps. Not your average Westfalia. This was a full 3 year restoration. Hundreds of man hours and thousands of dollars were invested in this one of a kind build. This van was done to a high enough standard to take 1rst place in its class at any VW show. The van has the best of both worlds with the 2 liter hydraulic valve fuel injected motor, the much more usable and spacious weekender interior coupled with the ultra rare factory continental full upper bed makes this a one of a kind "greatest hits" VW bus. Super rare to find a Westfalia in Neptune blue. In my opinion one of the nicest colors on a bay window bus. The interior is hand crafted top to bottom. All cabinet's, Z bed and jump seat were custom made using solid 3/4 inch Baltic birch wood and sanded and stained to a beautiful finish. This van can be used for cross country driving and or a show car. This van need nothing. To much to list. Call any time with any questions. **** I can have this bus shipped to your front door at whole sale cost I also can ship world wide ** Over 270 Additional pictures and information as well as other nice VW buses can be seen on my web site WESTCOASTSAMBA .

Volkswagen Golf R 400 will come to US
Wed, Apr 1 2015If you're like us, and have been drooling over the Volkswagen Golf R 400 concept since it was first unveiled in Beijing last year, we've got some potentially good news for you. Dr. Heinz-Jakob Neusser, member of the board of management responsible for development at Volkswagen, told Autoblog that the Golf R 400 will definitely come to the US... if it gets the production green light, anyway. Neusser says that the US market has had a hugely positive reaction to the seventh-generation Golf family. The new hatch won both Motor Trend Car of the Year and North American Car of the Year, and Volkswagen has expanded the Golf range to include a bunch of new variants, including the electric e-Golf and recently released SportWagen. The Golf R 400 would "fit very well into this strategy," says Neusser. The hotter Golfs have been successful, too. When Volkswagen opened the order books for the 2015 Golf R, the yearly allocation for the US sold out in just 11 hours. Neusser says the R 400 will "show how sporty the Golf family can be." We're certainly in favor of this hottest hatch hitting our market. All we need now, is for Volkswagen to officially give it the go-ahead.
VW readying new VR6 with forced induction
Fri, 27 Sep 2013Volkswagen built a stonking, narrow-angle V6 in the 1980s and 1990s that was found in three different generations of the Golf (their performance iterations, obviously), three generations of the Passat, the New Beetle, the Corrado and the Touareg, among other VWs, a spate of Audis, Seats, a Skoda, and even the Porsche Cayenne. It was a sad day when it was announced that it'd be put out to pasture.
Rejoice, though, fans of the venerable VR6, because Volkswagen has a new, modern variant in the works that, according to AutoWeek, features direct injection and can easily be fitted with forced induction. In fact, AW mentions Volkswagen insiders that claim this unit will spawn a production version of the twin-turbo V6 shown on the Design Vision GTI from this year's Wörthersee festival. That unit produced an epic 503 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque.
Don't expect a production unit with that level of power (although it would make a hardy RS4 powerplant), though. In reality, AutoWeek is suspecting anywhere from 340 to 450 horsepower from the new mill. When it arrives at an undisclosed date in the future, it'll likely be found in the Passat and Passat CC as well as the production version of the CrossBlue.
