Up for sell is our 1970 Westy. We are the second owners and have been restoring her for over a year but are now forced to sell her due to our new baby being born who btw has "colic".  Needless to say we simply don't have the time to enjoy her or get her completely finished :(
She is 95% complete w a few items left. I will try to list everything that needs finished along w the more than 18k invested in her.

We started w taking her down to bare metal and replacing the battery tray area and windshield w new sheet metal. She was then painted w a 2 stage Dupont paint job; more than 9k spent on paint and body work alone. The top was stripped as well and repainted w marine grade fiberglass paint. Replaced the top w a new Go-Westy hemp temp, replaced all seals and kept all the original VW glass accept for the back drivers side and a brand new PGW windshield. Fresh rebuilt 1600 cc motor will less than 350 miles: valves will need to be readjusted at 500 miles by new owner if sold, most VW owners will know this :). New interior seat covers, panels, kick panels, back seats and jumper seat. New handmade cabinets made by a local wood shop here in St. Pete. They were made out of maple then stained and sealed. We were able to find 1/8 birch plywood like the original and stained and sealed those as well.  New Hankook rubber all the way around as well. New Alpine CD w Ipod adapter and new pioneer speakers. We also have the original cabinets and sink that I will include. We will also include a brand new set of Kadron dual carbs that we were going to put on but again we simply have not gotten to it. The wiring harness has also been replaced as well as the dash has been completely gone thru. Forgot to mention it also has a tow hitch and bar although we have never used it! You could easily pull a small trailer behind it for camping etc....

What needs finished:

Z-bed and cabinets need screwed down but I was going to wait obviously until I finished the floor. I have two panels that need finished; rear door hatch and sliding door. I will try to complete before the sale but again we are dealing w running a restaurant day to day and a baby w Colic. The floor needs completed which is an easy job for anyone w basic wood working knowledge. We have a brand new seal that goes around the inside of the pop-top opening as well, this holds some of the panels in place as well, it just needs glued down. We also have the kids cot along w brand new canvass that just needs to be installed then screwed down in the tent area above. (also have the original kids cot and frame that goes over the front seats, rare to have the original :)

Really sad to be even listing this on Ebay and we would really love to see it go to a family that will appreciate her. She really is a piece of art in our eyes and its gonna be heart breaking to see her go.
Forgot to mention that we are currently having to relocate our restaurant after more than 2 years to make way for a big corporate box store coming in :(

Simply put, other things have become more important unfortunately. 

Thank you!

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

The Volkswagen booth at this year's Chicago Auto Show was filled with various special edition models of the Beetle and GTI. In addition to the GTI Wolfsburg Edition, the Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition helps to wrap up the 2013 model year as VW readies the all-new MkVII Golf next year.
Only 3,000 of the GTI Driver's Edition models will be produced in four-door body style only, and the available color palette will be limited to just Candy White, Carbon Steel Gray and Deep Black. The package will come standard with the GTI's Sunroof and Navigation package, and it will add unique features such as the 18-inch "Laguna" wheels, a golf-ball shift knob, partial leather seats and red-stitching on the carpeted floor mats. Buyers of this package will also get a certificate of authenticity and some GTI swag such as a hat, keychain and parking sign.
Starting price for the 2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition is $29,695 with the six-speed manual and $30,795 if you choose the DSG - both prices exclude destination charges.

Last VW bus ever made arrives at final destination

Fri, 31 Jan 2014

A Brazilian politician tried to save it, unsuccessfully, so the final Last Edition Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi was produced on December 20, 2013 and now resides in a vintage museum at Volkswagen's Commercial Vehicles HQ in Hanover, Germany.
The Volkswagen Microbus was built for 56 years, starting in September 1957. Brazil was the last country still assembling it, but new safety regulations in the country requiring airbags and ABS on all cars spelled the end. When that politician introduced a bill that would pardon only the 'Bus from a death sentence, it couldn't garner the required number of votes for passage. The South American country takes the Kombi production title, though, with 1.5 million of the 3.5 million total made in the home of Copacabana beach and the girl from Ipanema.
The VW Bus is dead. Now perhaps we can turn our attentions to the still-not-totally-settled matter of the Bulli...
