1968 Volkswagen Bus Camper Type 2 Westfalia This is a very original,
very clean, very complete 1968 Volkswagen Type 2 Westfalia, it is in very good condition
and needs very little that we are aware of. It is an unrestored Pacific Northwest Survivor Very nice and featuring
all of its original camping gear, these are tough to find in this great of condition. It really does hearken
back to a simpler time and is an absolute blast to cruise around in. The paint appears shiny
and smooth with no large imperfections. The Orange main body paint is fresh and looks great. The interior looks to be
original and is in very good condition, no rips, tears or stains in the upholstery. It appears not to have any water leaks or damage from being outside too much. It also doesnt have any bad smells or seem to have been smoked in. The Pop-Top functions
great and the original upper cot is intact and functional. There is some
tearing in the canvas, as well as some stains, this is one of the few items I
would probably replace. The motor runs great, does
not smoke, starts well hot or cold, although it does leave a few drips of oil
on the ground as these usually do. It was rebuilt 36k miles ago, so I am sure it just needs some gaskets to seal it up. The tires are like new,
and the suspension is much improved over stock with large sway bars and quality
shocks. The suspension upgrades really make this bus drive much better than most. All bus's should have these upgrades, but they are expensive. The motor is a 1600cc single port with a Dual Weber ICT kit. Plus other upgrades like larger oil sump and ignition upgrades. The transmission shifts
as it great with a Scat shifter, linkage is tight and syncros are good. The
transmission was rebuilt by German Transaxle of America and features a 4.12
final drive. There is very little
rust to be found on this vehicle; I have included a picture of the right front
corner that has a small amount of rust present. This would be an easy repair, or not to worry about. This bus it appears to
have been garage kept and very, very well taken care of over the years. If you are in the market
for one of these charming old rigs, look no further, this is a great example.

Happy 60th to the VW Karmann Ghia
Tue, 20 Aug 2013Volkswagen's product portfolio may be as extensive these days as any other carmaker in the business. But if you still think of the original Beetle as synonymous with the brand, that's probably because a) you're old and b) the Beetle was the company's only product until the mid-50s.
Sixty years ago Wilhelm Karmann (founder of the eponymous coachbuilder) was in Paris for the auto salon and met up with Luigi Segre and his team from Carrozzeria Ghia who showed him what was essentially a "Beetle in a sports coat." A month later they showed it to Volkswagen chief Heinrich Nordhoff who, setting aside his conservative tastes, approved it for production. And so the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia was born, giving the German marque a second product line. It still used Beetle mechanicals and was built at the same Karmann factory in Onsabrück that was already assembling the Beetle Cabriolet.
It took another couple of years to put the design into production, but from 1955 to 1974, Volkswagen and Karmann built 362,601 coupes and 80,881 of the subsequent convertible that arrived in 1957. Today the Onsabrück factory is part of the VW Group, handling production of the Golf Cabriolet, XL1 and Porsche Boxster and Cayman, and with that original Karmann Ghia prototype as part of its factory collection.
VW updates Scirocco with revised styling, new engines
Sun, 16 Feb 2014The Scirocco is undoubtedly one of the better-looking models in the Volkswagen lineup, but introduced back in 2008, it's now been on the market - some markets, anyway - for the better part of six years. VW is said to have an all-new replacement in the works, but before that arrives, the German automaker has announced a facelifted version with revised styling and a new engine lineup.
Set to be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show next month, the new Scirocco benefits from updated styling front and rear, high-tech exterior lighting, a revised cabin space with some throwback retro touches, some new technologies and, of course, an array of fresh wheel options ranging from 17 to 19 inches.
The updated Scirocco will be offered with a wide array of engines right from the get-go, including four gasoline options and two diesels, spanning from 125 horsepower all the way up to the 280-hp Scirocco R. The 2014 model hits European showrooms in August, but unfortunately isn't any more likely to make the transatlantic voyage Stateside than the version it replaces. Still interested? There's plenty to see in the high-res image gallery above and details in the press release below.
