1970 Vw Camper Van on 2040-cars
Sedan, Kansas, United States
|
Up for sale at "No Reserve" except for a low starting price, is a very nice, clean, original, unmolested 1970 Camper Van. This is a California Van from the Lancaster desert area with no rust outside of light surface rust on the bumper guards, and wheels. The Van originally belonged to my parents who bought it with only a few thousand miles on it. As their daily driver it racked up quite a few miles, but was very well maintained. Because of an inaccurate speedometer I am not sure of the exact mileage on the van. At some point the engine was replaced with a German remanufactured engine. We have most of the maintenance records from the time it was new. A light restoration would bring it back up to near perfect condition, with little work, given it's age and mileage. The original owners manual is still in the glove box, and the original tool kit is still under the back seat. The van starts, runs and drives very well. We brought the car back to Kansas with the intention of going through it, and keeping it for ourselves. With all of our other car projects the van went to the "back burner" and has just been setting. It is time to let someone else give it the attention it deserves. You would be hard pressed to find another VW this nice, and original. Smoke-free environment. This will make someone a really nice camper. We have tried to include enough photos to show the overall condition with the areas that need attention. Although I feel this vehicle is very reliable, and would drive it anywhere, it is a 44 year old collector vehicle and should be viewed as such. If you are not familiar with the care and maintenance that these older VW's require, this may not be the car for you. PROS: The rear seat folds down and makes into a nice bed There is a sink with an air pressure water tank Folding table and trays Ice box Original front privacy curtains Original awning for pattern, also needs poles We have patterns for all the window curtains Small clothes closet Small closet and mirrored cupboard above sink Original tool kit and jack under backseat storage compartment Original owners manual in glove box Has one, 120 volt outlet Radio and cigarette lighter both work Small camp stool/storage container with camp utensils, can be seen in photo Has clear Kansas title Has 4 new tires Has new battery Fresh tune-up CONS: Brakes should be checked (due to age) Engine runs fine, but a little on the rich side Small stone chip left hand side of windshield which can be seen in the photo with front curtain installed Small dent above left rear wheel Steering sector adjustment Plastic cabinet knobs, and sun visor stays need to be replaced due to age Drivers seat worn, can be seen in photo Floor mat worn, can be seen in photo Cover on bed needs new upholstery, can be seen photo Needs waxing and buffing Outside mirrors and vanity mirror have crazing Speedometer reads fast Adjustment of doors and locks We have tried to describe the vehicle as accurately as possible, and have included enough photos. Any questions, please contact us, and we will get back to you as soon as possible. More photos available if needed. |

2015 Volkswagen GTI [w/video]
Fri, 26 Apr 2013The 911 Of Hot Hatches Takes The Compact Game To New Levels
North American car buyers get a bit of a slap in the face when it comes to delivery schedules for new the Volkswagen Golf and pumped-up GTI models. We'll just repeat the old chestnut: It's worth the wait... even though it still stinks. This time around, Western Europe is taking deliveries of the new Golf as we speak, and GTI deliveries start between May and July. North America doesn't get the Mk7 Golf or GTI until about July of 2014.
So we approached our first drive of the new GTI with this chip on our shoulder: "You're making us wait? Well, then at least give us the exact car we'll be able to buy. No compromises, mein freund." And so it was that we extracted nearly all of our drive impressions from behind the wheel of what, for the United States, will technically be a model year 2015 two-door Volkswagen Golf GTI Performance with the standard six-speed manual.
Vahland leaving VW over dispute on how to run NA region
Wed, Oct 14 2015On November 1, Winfried Vahland was supposed to take over Volkswagen Group's recently created North American region that combines Canada, the US, and Mexico. But the longtime exec has instead decided to leave the automaker after a dispute over how to manage the new combined region. Vahland is currently the boss at Skoda, and in a statement about his departure the Czech company said: "Differing views on the organization of the new Group region have led to this decision; this decision is expressly not related to current events on the issue of diesel engines." Vahland is leaving at his own request, the announcement says. Vahland was appointed to run to North American region during VW's massive corporate shakeup on September 25. The decision was part of the automaker's plan to put a greater emphasis on regions and brands, rather than on centralized authority. According to Automotive News Europe citing a report from Germany's Auto Bild, Vahland was passed over for the CEO job, with Matthias Muller taking that position. Amidst the changes, Michael Horn remained at the helm of Volkswagen Group of America, reporting to the new regional boss. Vahland joined the automaker in 1990 and started running VW's operations in China in 2005. He became boss at Skoda in 2010. "In the last 25 years, Prof. Vahland made a great contribution to the company. We respect his decision and thank him for his exceptional performance," Muller said in the departure announcement. Prof. Dr. Winfried Vahland leaves Volkswagen Group 14.10.2015 Prof. Dr. Winfried Vahland leaves Volkswagen Group Mlada Boleslav, 14 October 2015 – After 25 years of successful work in Volkswagen Group, most recently as Chairman of SKODA, Prof. Dr. Winfried Vahland is leaving the company at his own request. Prof. Vahland will therefore not be taking up the position of overall responsibility for the North American Region (NAR). Differing views on the organisation of the new Group region have led to this decision; this decision is expressly not related to current events on the issue of diesel engines. Prof. Vahland began his work in Volkswagen Group in 1990. After holding several key positions at home and abroad, he took over Group responsibility as President and CEO of Volkswagen in China in 2005 and contributed significantly to the successful new direction of Volkswagen in China. He was appointed Chairman of the Board of Management of SKODA in 2010.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
