1971 Volkswagen Westfalia Bus on 2040-cars
Albany, Oregon, United States
|
1971 Volkswagen Westfalia Bus I purchased this bus in 1999 and it was my daily driver
2001-2003. Its been pretty much sitting in my garage since. The engine was professionally rebuilt locally about 25k
miles ago; now running at 1641 cc's. The rebuilding mechanic said the core was
good for another rebuild if desired. I had the generator replaced with an
alternator, added a deep oil sump increasing capacity to 4 quarts, electronic
ignition (no points to set) and dual carburetors. One unique point of interest is engine access through the
top. A previous owner cut the bus floor over the engine, creating a "trap
door" access. Its saves your back when working on the top of the engine
and also provides more light in the engine compartment. The engine was rebuilt at a local "two-guys"
garage, about 25k miles ago. Bored out to 1641CC, it also has new heads,
distributor and mild performance cams. The exhaust was replaced with a
"glass pack" type single exhaust, but still provides heat. Dual carburetors
were installed at the time of rebuild, previously it ran a single 2-barrel
carburetor. I also added a fan to the heater tube, so this bus will
actually get warm inside when its cold outside. RUST: A vehicle of this age does have some rust, though I
think overall, this bus is above average. The floor of the bus was treated for
rust, sprayed with rust preventative primer then rattle can painted a beige.
There are spots (~1/4 inch) of rust here and there on the body, but no visible
signs of serious rot. The stock upholstery/mattress has been recovered with fresh
vinyl. Replaced the standard front seats with "coach" seats from a
newer bus (arm rests!). Also renewed door panels with automotive carpeting. The
upper single sleeping bunk is in place but I've never used it. The vehicle comes with extras: 4 tires/wheels that were
gifted to me. The original sink and cabinet. Three owner's manuals. All take
off parts from engine rebuild, all stockpiled new parts. Numerous gaskets for
valve covers and oil changes. The bus currently has new hippie curtains and
also has the original set included, along with screens and front bunk. Vehicle is being sold "as is" with no warranties expressed or implied. A deposit of $500.00 is due within 24 hours of auction close via pay pal. Remaining balance is due within 7 days of auction close. Buyer is responsible for pick up or shipping. Vehicle will not be picked up or ship until all funds have cleared. no trades, no games.no fake checks,no B.S. I will try to answer ? each day. They don't make em' like this anymore. Enjoy camping and 20
mpg at the same time, just don't be in a hurry. |

BMW names new CEO, chairman and head of development
Tue, Dec 9 2014Big changes are afoot in the top ranks at BMW, as the Bavarian automaker has announced not just one, but several appointments in the top floors of its towering headquarters in Munich in what the company itself is referring as "a generational change" in its leadership. The biggest change relates to the chairman of BMW's management board – German-speak for the company's chief executive officer. Effective at the end of the company's Annual General Meeting on May 13, 2015, the company will be run by Harald Kruger. The 49-year-old mechanical engineer has been with BMW since 1992 and has sat on its board since 2008, and has until now been responsible for production for the entire BMW Group. The chairmanship of the board of management currently belongs to Dr. Norbert Reithofer, whom the management is endorsing to chair the supervisory board (which Americans might call the board of directors). That role in turn is currently held by Professor Joachim Milberg, who will step down from his position in order to make way for Reithofer to take his place. Milberg is earmarked to remain with the company to oversee its corporate social responsibility and charitable activities. BMW has also announced the appointment of Klaus Frohlich to serve as its head of development with immediate effect. In his new capacity, Frohlich replaces Dr. Herbert Diess, who in turn has left Munich to take over the Volkswagen passenger car division. Below you'll find statements from both BMW and VW on their new appointments. BMW Group takes steps to initiate a generational change at the head of the Board of Management and Supervisory Board 09.12.2014 - Harald Kruger to become Chairman of the Board of Management in May 2015 - Dr. Norbert Reithofer proposed to succeed as Chairman of the Supervisory Board - Prof. Joachim Milberg to take leading role in the BMW Group's worldwide CSR activities and charitable foundations - Klaus Frohlich appointed to Board of Management with responsibility for Development Munich . At its meeting today, the Supervisory Board of BMW AG took the first steps to initiate a generational change at the head of the company's Board of Management and Supervisory Board. Harald Kruger will become Chairman of the Board of Management effective the end of the Annual General Meeting on 13 May 2015. The current Chairman of the Board of Management, Dr. Norbert Reithofer, will be put forward for election to the Supervisory Board at the 2015 Annual General Meeting.
1000-hp Mk1 VW Golf is terrifyingly cool
Tue, 04 Jun 2013There are plenty of things to love about the Mk1 Volkswgen Golf. The machine's horsepower isn't one of them. From the factory, the little hatch cranked a breathy 112 horsepower from the most robust form of its 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. Boba motoring, however, has taken that figure and multiplied it by a factor of nearly 10. If 1,000 horsepower sounds terrifying in a machine with a wheelbase of just 94.5 inches, it should. A massive Garrett GTX4202R turbo force-feeds the little mill through a tweaked 16-valve KR head. The crew calls the beast the 16Vampir, and we think that's fitting.
Of course, we'd wager you quit reading right about the time you set your eyes on that headline. Those of you who've stuck around this long can point yourselves below to see the maniacal creation in action. You won't be disappointed.
Audi CVT suit settlement given green light, 64,000 cars covered
Mon, 07 Oct 2013Audi drivers, listen up. If you bought or leased a 2002-06 model-year A4 or A6 with a factory-installed Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) that failed, you may be entitled to reimbursement under a recently settled class-action lawsuit with corporate parent Volkswagen.
According to Automotive News, the settlement covers about 64,000 vehicles and alleges that "manufacturing and design problems caused the transmissions to fail and left owners stuck with repair costs." While the suit also argues Audi was aware of these issues (going so far as to hide that knowledge from consumers), the settlement stops short of acknowledging any wrongdoing by the German automaker.
Audi drivers are eligible for a cash reimbursement if their CVT repairs occurred within 10 years or 100,000 miles of the date they bought or leased the vehicle before June 19, 2013. To be eligible for compensation, drivers must submit a claim form (found here) with supporting documents by November 18.
