1968 Volkswagen Westfalia Camper With Bay Windows on 2040-cars
Houston, Texas, United States
|
Twenty years ago I had the grand plan of buying this 68 bus to help with my newly formed cleaning company. As I grew out of the bus I couldn’t get past the fact that I loved it, so I kept it and drove it on weekends. It seemed at every light people were always pointing or talking about it. I knew I had to hold on to it and figure in twenty years or so I would fix it up and sell it for a split window, my dream bus. Well, the twenty years are up and the chance of me fixing it up are slim to none so I have decided to sell it to the forth owner and let them have the pleasure of fixing up this gem, have some fun and possibly make some money when the time comes. It has it all, original owner's manual and jack, pop top, foldout bed, cot above sliding door, child’s cot over front seats, refrigerator or ice box, sink and cutting table, table, closet with mirror on closet door, extra seat behind drivers seat, foot rest, along with a list of things making this a true get. I will not lie, it does have some issues which I did my best to show them all in the pictures and will try to explain below: A few rust spots under both bay window The biggest rust spot is right in front of the driver’s front seat There are a couple of dents, that are reachable so could be easily fixed One of the racks on the top is broken but easily fixed Does not have the original paint job and does have a few scratches Both door mirrors are either cracked or glass is gone The pop up needs new canvas as well as the top cot The engine was rebuilt right before the gear shift linkage went out which is what put it in the garage. I’m not sure what the issue is on the linkage, the shifter itself could have just pulled out for all I know The last time it drove was in 1999 at Texas Motor Speedway on the infield when the linkage went out. At that point, the engine was working great it just wouldn't go into gears, so we towed it home and it has been in the garage ever since No battery All of these issues are easy fixes, it’s just going to take some time and money of which I have neither. After all of these years it has very little rust on it, with only surface rust on the under carriage and the few spots shown in the pictures. As mention before, this vehicle has been a riot to own and I hate to let her go but it is time as its life is not over and my wife will finally be able to park her car in the garage. I have gotten to know the bus family since owning one and I’m sure this one will find a good home and get the face lift it has always wanted and needed. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me at any time at 281-687-1263. |

Volkswagen Golf Variant Concept R-Line puts the sport in SportWagen
Wed, 06 Mar 2013With the introduction of the newest Volkswagen Golf Variant, we get an early look at what will most likely be the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here in the US. To further wet our appetities, VW is now teasing something a little sportier with the Concept R-Line. Looking the part of a GTI wagon (or a stretched Golf R), the Golf Variant Concept R-Line has a production-ready appearance that has us hoping we'll see this sporty wagon sooner rather than later.
The R-Line starts off with a new fascia that isn't quite as aggressive as the recently introduced GTI, but it gives the new styling some extra punch. Below the fascia is a lower splitter that visually carries back into the rocker panel extensions, and the rear of the car gets some bright exhaust tips and a rear diffuser. The Lapis Blue Metallic paint job probably does enough on its own to add a sporty flair to the Golf wagon, and it's all finished off with 18-inch split-spoke wheels. Inside, the Concept R-Line shows off sport seats wrapped in carbon leather featuring blue nappa inserts in the middle.
Rightfully so, VW brought the Concept R-Line to Geneva with its TDI and 4Motion all-wheel-drive system. A sporty, all-wheel-drive diesel wagon? Yes, please. Scroll down for the full press blast with all the details.
Volkswagen CrossBlue Coupe is a green fun-machine we want to drive
Fri, 19 Apr 2013Think back to January's Detroit Auto Show. Those of you that are fans of the Volkswagen brand, impressed with green technology or simply fall into the "diesel geek" category, will almost certainly remember VW's CrossBlue concept with its diesel/electric hybrid powertrain, seating for seven, and somewhat awkward crossover styling. It was an impressive piece of future tech, to be sure, though it left something to be desired in the, well, desirability department.
Here in Shanghai, VW has brought along a CrossBlue Coupe concept that would seem to include most of the goodness of the original, but flavored with more sport and style this time around.
The CrossBlue Coupe makes use of the same electric drive components as the larger three-row concept: two electric motors (front and rear) powered by a 9.8-kWh lithium-ion battery. However, where the original concept made use of a TDI four-cylinder, the Coupe substitutes a 295-horsepower, direct-injection, gasoline-burning V6.
Peugeot will prove it doesn't offer cheater diesels
Thu, Oct 29 2015Our diesels are clean, really. That's the message from French automaker PSA/Peugeot-Citroen as it plans to go on the offensive in response to Volkswagen's diesel-emissions scandal. PSA will go out of its way to prove its diesels are as clean as advertised. The company is looking at disclosing "real-world" fuel-economy statistics as soon as next spring and will use an independent entity to vet the numbers, Automotive News Europe says, citing comments that PSA/Peugeot-Citroen financial chief Jean-Baptiste de Chatillon made to reporters this week. Such efforts may be vital, since roughly two-thirds of the vehicles Peugeot-Citroen sells in Europe are powered by a diesel engine. Last month, VW admitted that as many as 11 million of its diesel-powered vehicles were programmed with software designed to cheat emissions-testing systems. The news shook up the industry, especially companies that sell a good chunk of diesels. The EU itself may start instituting "real world" fuel-economy and emissions testing as soon as 2017. French regulators have said they may eliminate diesel-fuel subsidies that currently make diesel fuel cheaper to customers than gas. That adjustment may occur as soon as next year, since it's been pushed up in response to the VW scandal. Peugeot-Citron continues to reiterate that it has never installed software that was designed to cheat emissions-testing systems. Additionally, the automaker was more than a decade ahead of European Union mandates for engine components designed to cut soot emissions, so the company is hoping its track record makes a difference. It wants to be perfectly clear about that.
