Today we are offering for your consideration on this 1971 Volkswagen Bus Vanagon Westfalia Camper. Let's let the pictures do the talking on this CLASSIC BUS. This van is 42 years old and look brand new! I bought this camper about 9 years ago. It was purchased in Germany by a Navy Sailor. He used it there and then in Japan while serving. He then had it shipped back to the Texas area to use. I have used it on summer nice days and an occasional shore trip. So great to have the top up, under the stars, with the pines in the summer wind. It runs like a top and had it up to 70 or 75 in the highway. The body has NO noticeable scratches or dings/dents. I am very fussy. The paint is somewhat original but some panels have been professionally done. NO BONDO and the color matches perfect. The tires are very good and new shocks. Starts up every time and runs smooth. Chrome is nice too. The top camper was replaced at some time before I bought it. All interior is excellent with no cuts, marks, or damage either. Floor is original and also no messed with like many I have seen. I have to say the van is very mint and original. YOU WILL NOT FIND A CLEANER 1971 WESTFALIA on Ebay. I paid $20,000 grand for it years ago. OK, it dose have an aftermarket Alpine am/fm CD player with 2 speakers mounted flush in wood headliner. All interior door cabinets are fine. Closet door has mirror on back from factory. Van comes with the original tool kit under passenger seat. It also has the hammock that opens when top is up, (we called the condo), and fold out baby cloth hammock that goes from inside windshield to back of seat area. We never used either of these hammocks. I don't think you will find any surprises and I want to state full disclosure. Here's the only things we could find that need minor attention. When going over a big bump the front springs make a type of slight noise. Like they need to be greased. I had fitting greased and still heard the noise. This only happens when it's a large bump. I lived with it because it was minor, has been there all the time I owned it, and no mechanic could fine anything wrong. In fact I had the van fully check just last summer before a 2 day outing and she's fine. Very dependable. One back curtain hold back needs to be replace. The door under sink stop plastic needs to be replace. Sink pump is all there but doesn't work. These are minor things but I am stating all I know. This van has been a lot of fun and only costed me $235 a year to insure for 20 grand replacement value. Also classic registration plates with no fee. This baby, with just a little TLC is almost a show car and will turn every head. People love that VW horn. I hope the buyer has as much fun as we have had with it. Title is clear and I have it. Buyer takes full responsibility to ship transport. If you are a local buyer just email. If you have to ship I will work with your shipper to help it go smooth. We are a guitar shop and this VW looked great in the driveway. Everyone stop just to look. Included is a full new type cover and tent off of sliding door I think factory.

Next Volkswagen Golf R to get 286 horsepower?

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't launched in the United States just yet, but we're already setting our sights on the range-topping R model. According to Autocar, the next Golf R will be more powerful than the current version, producing 268 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, making it the most powerful production Golf ever.
Powering the new Golf R will be a further evolution of Volkswagen's well-liked 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, and when mated to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, the hotter hatch will reportedly be able to sprint to 62 miles per hour in five seconds flat. That's over half a second quicker than the current US-spec model.
Other updates for the new Golf R include the addition of VW's Haldex 5 all-wheel-drive system found in the latest iteration of 4Motion. Furthermore, thanks to the use of lightweight materials, the new R is expected to weigh in around 2,650 pounds - that's a massive 675 pounds less than the current US-spec car. The exhaust has reportedly been reworked to provide more aural delight, as well.

VW, Fiat, Mercedes could be CNG winners in Europe

Fri, Dec 12 2014

Fiat ads in the US try to play up the exotic, sexy side of Italian culture. On the home front in Italy, however, passenger-vehicle sales are marked by something less edgy and quite a bit more practical: the growth of compressed-natural-gas (CNG) powered car sales. In fact, Italy is leading a group of European countries where CNG sales are on the upswing and may be benefiting automakers like VW, Fiat and Mercedes-Benz, according to Automotive News. VW started sales of its Golf TGI natural-gas vehicle this year – the company's fourth in Europe – while Mercedes-Benz added a natural-gas B-class model. Fiat accounts for about 50 percent of CNG vehicles sold on the continent. In all, Europe's CNG sales through September totaled about 67,000, up seven percent from a year earlier, Automotive News Europe says, citing research firm JATO Dynamics. And the number of CNG vehicles on Europe's roads could jump tenfold within the next decade. The draw is a combination of lower refueling prices and a CNG drivetrain that typically emits less CO2 than diesel vehicles. As for Italy, about five percent of new-vehicle sales are CNG. To put that into perspective, hybrids, battery-electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids and diesels combined to account for about 4.2 percent of US vehicle sales last year.

Cars with the most reckless drivers are full of surprises

Wed, Oct 13 2021

Insurify is a site for comparing auto insurance quotes. Because insurance shoppers need to submit information like the vehicles they're driving and the infractions they've compiled while driving those vehicles, Insurify has quite the database of correlations tying certain models to a habit of breaking certain laws. When the site's data analysts decided to compile a list of the top ten models for reckless driving citations in the decade from 2010 to 2019, the ranking contained a few wild entries. The Dodge Challenger making the countdown will surprise precisely zero people. But the Saturn L200? First, a definition: USLegal.com defines reckless driving as "driving with a willful or wanton disregard for safety. It is the operation of an automobile under such circumstances and in such a manner as to show a willful or reckless disregard of consequences." So this list is a caution about particular drivers more than the cars. For a baseline, according to Insurify data, for any random model, 15 out of 10,000 people who drive that model have picked up one citation for reckless driving. Back to that Challenger, then. No shocker for being here, but it's actually number 10, with 44 out of 10,000 Challenger drivers nabbed for a willful disregard of consequences on the road. That's better than the first surprise entry, the Saturn L200, a sedan only on sale for six years, with the least horsepower on the list, and out of production since 2005. The data set put drivers of GM's extraterrestrial sedan at 45 reckless pilots per 10,000 drivers. There are two pickups on the list, the only modern one being the Ram 1500 at eighth, with a rate of 46 in 10,000. Somehow, drivers of the third-best-selling pickup in the U.S. outrun the overwhelming numerical superiority of the best-selling vehicle in the States, the Ford F-150. The other pickup is the Chevrolet K1500 at number five, with a rate of 56 in 10,000. This is not only the oldest vehicle on the list, it went out of production in 2002, before any other vehicle on the list. Between the trucks, the Volkswagen CC slotted in at seven with 47 in 10,000 reckless driving chits, the Cadillac ATS slipped into sixth with 48 in 10,000.  The top four is a bag of unexpected. The Nissan 370Z is the first hardcore sports car on the list at number four, with 61 in 10,000 Z drivers flaunting their Fairladys in the face of Johnny Law.
