1969 Vw Westfalia Pop Top, Montana Red on 2040-cars
Scotts Valley, California, United States
1969 Volkswagen Westfalia bus, walk thru, small pop top. The bus has all the original Westfalia interior which is in great condition. It is missing the ice box/ sink. The Z-bed, jump seat and rear cushions have all new foam and were professionally reupholstered in very soft black "pleather." They look terrific and have no rips or flaws. The cargo floor area has no rust and was covered in bamboo flooring. The bus has aftermarket curtains that are very heavy fabric, made for this bus so they fit excellent, and have a great pattern that ties into the colors of the bus. The front seats were recovered with TMI covers and are also in excellent shape with no rips or flaws. The front floors are solid with no rust through whatsoever. The bus has a Pioneer CD/ MP3 player with four JL Audio speakers. The bus has new 205/75/14 tires all around and the factory rims were repainted factory white. New spare tire cover as well. The bus was just repainted the original Volkswagen Montana Red PPG urethane paint on the exterior. There is no rust on the bus and it has never been in a collision. The interior is still the original paint. The bus was originally all red, but is had been painted two tone at some point in it's life. So I had the upper half repainted with VW white, when they painted the Montana Red. The pop top was also painted at that time. The red with the white really stands out. The pop top has a new rubber seal. All of the doors and rear hatch/ engine lid has new rubber. The front and rear window also has new rubber. The bus has new lenses and rubber around the lenses. The pop top canvas is in excellent condition. There is a dime sized tear in the canvas and the front screen has a rip. However, the screen covers are perfect. The motor is a 1835cc with dual 44mm Brosol/ Solex carbs and has a header with single quiet pack muffler. It was just tuned by a VW shop in Santa Cruz. All of the cylinders have compression over 100. The mileage for the bus shows 75,000, but it is unknown what the true mileage is. The motor was in the bus when I bought it and the previous owner told me it had about 6000 miles on it. I have put less than 500 miles on it since I have had it. Transmission shifts very well and it does not pop out of any gears. It still has the factory reduction boxes. The bus is currently registered and I have a clear California title in my name. The bus is in great condition overall and is ready for the summer! I mostly drive it to the beach on weekends and campout once in awhile and it always gets tons of attention! |

VW midsize crossover production headed for Chattanooga
Fri, 10 Jan 2014Potential labor woes aside, it looks like Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN factory must have done something that impressed the bosses in Germany, because it sounds like the three-year-old factory is set to score a second model.
The factory currently builds the Passat, and has been in the running alongside VW's Puebla, Mexico factory to build a new crossover vehicle, likely based on the CrossBlue Concept. According to Bloomberg, a pair of unnamed sources have confirmed that Chattanooga is the favorite ahead of an official announcement.
When last we heard about the CrossBlue Concept, word was that a production decision had been delayed over concerns about the three-row CUV's business case. That August 2013 story claimed that a decision regarding the CrossBlue would be pushed back until early in 2014, which means we're ripe for some sort of news, whether good or bad.
Witness this insane 736-hp VW Golf immolate its front tires
Mon, 11 Mar 2013There's torque steer and then there's what we'll from now on dub "The Boba," as in Boba Kettler. The German tuner has a way with the Volkswagen Golf, and the MkI example you see above has been touched with 736 horsepower - that's right, 96 more ponies than a new SRT Viper, all trying to get to ground through those two front wheels.
The 2.0-liter, 16-valve engine has an 8,800 rpm redline and is aided by a Garrett GTX3582R turbocharger shoving 50 psi through the internals. Other upgrades include a new ECU (natch) and a six-speed 'box among other treats. The rubber is Toyo R888s - street-legal competition tires. The result is enough smoke for three Chinese New Years when the lights go green. Indeed, the standing start isn't its forte, but it can apparently get from 62 miles per hour to 124 mph in five seconds.
Watch it go in the video below. And know that this isn't even Boba's best work; he's got a 900-hp MkII Golf that'll do 0-62 mph in 2.3 seconds.
Volkswagen offers Beetle Classic, priced from $20,195*
Tue, 23 Sep 2014The current Volkswagen Beetle already tries to be a fairly retro-looking ride by cribbing styling elements from the iconic original. However, for the new, limited-edition Classic model, VW is hopping into the time machine to grab even more vintage cues. The company is even cutting the price, perhaps in hopes of turning around flagging sales this year. You don't need to wait long for any of these upgrades either because the automaker says that the Classic goes on sale this week for $20,195, *excluding the $820 destination charge. That's $100 less than a bone-stock Beetle.
Starting as a standard Beetle with VW's 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 170 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, the Classic edition comes with a six-speed automatic and then adds some retro flair. It includes new vintage-look 17-inch wheels with simulated dog dish polished hubcaps over black spokes. It also comes with a rear spoiler, and the automaker is offering the model in Pure White, Black Uni, and Reflex Silver.
The interior mixes in a few more classic touches but includes modern amenities like a standard navigation system, satellite radio and multifunction steering wheel. However, the seats are finished in a two-tone design combining light brown leatherette on the sides and checked cloth centers, plus lumbar support for the driver's side. The shift knob and handbrake also get wrapped in leather.
