I am selling my 1966 SO42 Tin Top Westfalia , This bus is a walkthrough model.. I would love to keep the Bus but I recently purchased a house that is requiring my attention . To start I went through the braking system replacing all the soft rubber lines , master cylinder , all new wheel cylinders and shoes . The Motor is a single port 1600cc and is in good used condition , Does not leak oil and seems to run well down the road . Miles are unknown. The transmission shifts perfect and smooth . New axle boots were recently installed and well as new fluids in transmission as well as the reduction gears .
The body of the bus surely shows its age , Looks to have been repainted many many years ago .. The roof is nice and faded and there's plenty of patina to go around on this bus , chips ,scratches ,fading etc . Over the years its had a couple floor patches done up front , But over all if your looking for a fun bus to go out in the woods camp , take off road , drive out on the beach this is totally that kinda bus . Its not restored just polished up as is .. But is a bus that you can drive as it is and make a plan to restore someday . But honestly a restored camper will most likely sit in the garage and get looked at and not used .. This bus is just ready to have fun in !!
The front seats have been recovered using Wolfsburg West covers and pads. Door panels are the hardboard grey . Camper kit is all original , but at some point someone recovered the seat cushions ,rear seat folds to a bed ,and table folds down to the wall . It is missing the icebox but in my opinion provides more room inside . Just throw your vintage cooler in that spot and call it a day .
Bus comes complete with the roof rack . Was converted to 12 volt , has H4 headlights which are good and bright . What else can I say other than again look at the pictures . Its not restored but well aged .Looks great to me , I wouldn't change a thing about it . I love the fact that I can drive and not worry about a thing . Yes these buses are becoming to be worth a lot of money restored etc . But at that point there not as fun anymore . All you do is worry about them and hope your collector car insurance is for high enough if something were to happen . This is a driver quality bus that looks pretty good also . Drive and have fun ...

Autoblog Minute: VW Q3 financial woes, 2015 Tokyo Motor Show
Fri, Oct 30 2015Consumer Reports pulls its Tesla recommendation, the U.S. Copyright Office offers a ruling affecting car owners, VW gets hit hard with third-quarter losses, and lots of exciting news from Tokyo. Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Consumer Reports pulls its Tesla recommendation, the U.S. copyright office offers a ruling that affects car owners and gear heads, VW gets hit hard with third-quarter losses, and lots of exciting news from Tokyo. I'm senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. After a week away testing vehicles for Autoblog's Tech of the Year award, we're back in the office to recap the week in automotive news. [00:00:30] One of the things you might have missed was Consumer Reports pulling its recommendation of Tesla's Model S sedan. The blemish for Tesla comes after a tally of reviews from customer surveys. The most common problem areas for the Model S as cited by survey takers included: the drivetrain, power equipment, charging equipment, body and sunroof squeaks, rattles, and leaks. So lots of stuff. Though they could not ignore a score of "worse-than-average", Consumer Reports still [00:01:00] highlighted the fact that the Model S was "the best performing car" they've ever tested. Telsa CEO Elon Musk took to social media to defend his sedans saying: "Consumer Reports reliability survey includes a lot of early production cars. Already addressed in new cars." And, "Tesla gets top rating of any company in service. Most important, CR says 97% of owners expect their next car to be a Tesla (the acid test)." In Financial news, Volkswagen took a hit and reported an operating loss of [00:01:30] $3.84 billion. This is the first such loss for VW in 15 years. Toyota reclaimed the crown as the world's largest automaker as well. It's important that it's not all doom and gloom for VW though in Q3. Sales revenues were up and the company's automotive division boasts $30 billion dollars in liquid assets. It's a sizable war chest that will no doubt come in handy, as the company has yet to feel the full brunt of the diesel emissions scandal. Good news for gear heads. The US copyright office [00:02:00] ruled in favor of mechanics and car owners by granting an exception to existing copyright law. The law was originally meant to prevent software pirating and bootlegging of Hollywood movies.
Translogic 164: Driving the fuel cell vehicles of the 2014 LA Auto Show
Wed, Nov 26 2014The LA Auto Show is known for its environmentally friendly vehicle debuts. At last year's show, hydrogen fuel cell concepts from Honda and Toyota joined a lease-ready Hyundai Tucson FCEV to cast a green hue over the convention center. This year, automakers took us a step closer to a fuel cell future by offering drives of their hydrogen-electric hybrids. Translogic host Jonathon Buckley takes a ride in the Toyota Mirai, which is headed for production in 2016. He follows that with a spin in the Volkswagen Passat HyMotion and the Audi A7 Sportback h-tron quattro concept. Which of these fuel cell vehicles holds the most promise? Tune in to find out.

Next-gen Volkswagen Golf R spied while running the 'Ring
Tue, 16 Apr 2013The 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.
