1971 Vw Bus ~ T2 Westfalia Type Ii ~ Riviera Top ~ Awesome Camper Van! on 2040-cars
Inverness, Florida, United States
|
My son bought this bus 3 years ago when he hoped to travel the country. Now he has decided that med school is the goal instead and needs money. He has loved this bus and it has been a very dependable, fun ride. Driving it the past few years really replaced his shyness with confidence since people talk to him everywhere he goes. Everyone has a VW story it seems!
We have the original VW service record showing its birth in Sept. 1970, travels through France, Italy, Spain, etc. and its arrival in the US. It will also come with a binder of maintenance receipts and the VW official service manual. We will be happy to give you our mechanic's info to discuss the bus before you buy and of course, you are welcome to come test drive it. We may even be able to meet you if we're a little too far for you or at an airport. We have done a lot to the inside and mechanics of the bus, but my son loved the outside so we did not do much to it. If you wanted a good paint job, it does have some rust around the windows and wheel wells and you would want to replace the window seals if not at least one window. The camper is in good shape, but there are a few holes in the tent screens. What has been done on the inside: Everything was removed. There was a rust spot on the floor behind the front seats so a new metal panel was welded in. Then the entire inside had a rust coating and paint. "Fat mat" insulation was installed over that for noise and heat reduction. New flooring, carpet, side panels, headliner, and curtains were added and the seats were recovered. The spare tire was added to the front of the bus for added room inside. New rubber seals were put on the 2 front doors, sliding door, back hatch, engine compartment, and camper top. The support bars for the front seat hammock are included, but there is no hammock. Mechanically: When we first got it, we found an awesome guy at Kenny's VW Repair in Hudson, FL. It ran well at the time, but I asked him to do everything it needed to keep it safe and dependable for my son. He was awesome and he has continued to do oil changes, tune ups, and anything it needed along the way. We got 5 new tires that he recommended from The Bus Depot at the time. They have lots of life left. Receipts are in the binder that goes with the bus. We could only add 24 pics. Call 352-341-0113 for more pics or for a test drive. All questions welcome. On Jun-20-14 at 07:01:07 PDT, seller added the following information: I can't get texts, so please call or email with questions or for more pics and closeups. Thanks. |

Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic
Mon, Oct 24 2016Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.

Andretti Autosport partners with Volkswagen for Global Rallycross season
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Michael Andretti and Volkswagen have both been involved in Global Rallycross for a couple of years, but not together. Andretti Motorsports Marketing organized the final round of the 2012 GRC series in Las Vegas, and there were rumors then that Andretti was going to get in. Around the same time there were news reports that Volkswagen was preparing a 600-hp Polo Mk5 to race in the SuperCar class; the photo above is racer Anton Marklund in his privateer Marklund Motorsports Polo at the 2013 X-Games round in Los Angeles.
Now it's official: Andretti Autosport will campaign the 2014 GRC season with VWs. That's all that's been said for now, Andretti being busy at the moment launching four entries for IndyCar, two for Indy Lights and two for Pro Mazda. We have a feeling we'll be seeing the MkVII Golf involved, but the cars and the driver lineup will be presented at the Chicago Auto Show on February 6.
VW using other manufacturing locations as leverage in battle with TN [w/video]
Sat, 26 Apr 2014We've reached a new step in the ongoing drama at Volkswagen's factory in Chattanooga, TN. The United Auto Workers recently dropped its opposition to the union vote and agreed that it wouldn't hold another ballot for at least a year. Now, the new question becomes where VW is going to build its forthcoming midsize SUV.
Earlier, it had been considered all but certain that the SUV, likely a production version of the CrossBlue concept (pictured above), would be built in Tennessee. However, it seems the Chattanooga factory might have competition to produce it. In emails obtained by The Detroit News, VW's lawyer wrote to the Tennessee economic development department in January saying, "While we understand there are some 'non-deal' issues that are causing a delay in the TN solution, VW has been successful in reaching agreement on terms at the alternative locations."
As previously reported, the state of Tennessee allegedly offered VW about $300 million in incentives to build the vehicle there and create an estimated 1,350 jobs, but it later rescinded the deal. Newly leaked documents from NewsChannel 5 (WTVF-TV) in Nashville allegedly show just how close that offer was to being completed. It appears that VW actually sent the government the first draft of a memorandum of understanding agreeing to the incentives, but the state removed the offer in late January.
