1971 Westfalia Campmobile - Type II - Bay Window Bus.
I have had this van since the mid-1990's and have a pile of receipts as
well as a clean title and current registration. I was told I was the
"third or fourth" owner since original purchase, but have no way to
verify this. This bus has taken me all over the Western United States
and has endured all sorts of driving conditions, including dirt roads,
mountain passes, and remote campgrounds. Yes, the bus went to those
concerts too. Please no jokes about the stickers - I was in college,
what do you expect!
The engine is your standard 1600cc Dual Port and is not from original release. The transmission was overhauled in the late 1990's by Volks' Cafe in Santa Cruz (now Van Cafe). The current engine was overhauled a few years ago and has less than 10,000 miles on it. Most of the camper stuff is there, though the tent and tent poles are missing. There are two front seat kid cots, one mosquito net, one stool, upper cot, and the ice box/sink, and the original curtains. The bus is tired and needs attention it has been driven about three times a month since August 2013. Earlier this year the following new parts were installed: clutch, starter, coil, voltage regulator, battery, generator, and a few other tune-up related things were done at the same time, such as fuel filter, plug wires, etc. The van has been regularly maintained and is in decent shape. The problems: missing rear bumper, missing camping tent/poles, dents/damage at front driver corner, back left corner, and side behind sliding door. There is rust along bottom of front window, along water trap, and at damaged areas. There is some rust on foot pan, mostly on drivers side. The canvas is torn/missing, the canvas on upper cot is brittle, and there is minor damage to camping interior and upholstery. The front seats need to be redone/replaced. Driver side door lock jams. No brights. Needs a new steering box but drives/steers as-is with minimal problems. Other minor issues exist and van is SOLD AS-IS. Manufactured by Westfalia Werke K-G, West Germany. |

Volkswagen throws a Polo-palooza with four new or upgraded models
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Volkswagen unveiled a parade of new and upgraded Polo models at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, including the Polo TSI BlueMotion, Polo TDI BlueMotion, Polo BlueGT and CrossPolo (pictured above). While they will likely never make an appearance this side of the pond, it is fun to see what European subcompact drivers will be driving later this year.
The new BlueMotion models represent the most efficient petrol and diesel options in their class, according to VW. The BlueMotion TDI offers just 73 horsepower from its diesel engine but gives the equivalent of 76 miles per gallon (US) in the EU test. The BlueMotion TSI brings a little more power with its 88-hp petrol engine and has a combined rating of 57 mpg (US) in the EU cycle.
The Polo BlueGT provides a balance of performance and economy, and for the 2014 model, it gains a 9-horsepower boost to its 1.4-liter turbocharged to give drivers 147 hp at the press of the accelerator. This year's car also has an optional Sport Select suspension with electronically controlled dampers to improve handling a bit. It's still fitted with active cylinder management to use as little gas as possible when cruising.
West Virginia sues VW for fraud, asks for major financial penalty
Wed, Oct 7 2015It took just four researchers, including two students, at West Virginia University doing some emissions tests eventually to engulf Volkswagen in an international scandal that has been raging for weeks. Now, the state's attorney general Patrick Morrisey has filed a formal complaint against the automaker's US branch for violating the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act. His argument alleges that VW "fraudulently manufactured, advertised, and sold" these polluting diesel vehicles as being good for the environment. If the West Virginia case is successful, VW could be on the hook for serious monetary punishment. Morrisey asks that any consumers in the state get refunds totaling the premium paid over a gasoline model, the loss in resale value, and the expected costs of lost performance from the upcoming recall repair. On top of that, the automaker would pay the state $5,000 for each violating vehicle and all of the related costs for preparing for the trial. According to the complaint's legal documents (here, as a PDF), the state's DMV currently shows 2,684, diesel 2009-2015 VW vehicles registered there. Morrisey isn't the only state attorney general to take a stern look at VW's actions, and his counterparts in at least 29 other states are investigation similar courses of action, as well. In addition, the Department of Justice and Environmental Protection Agency have their own probes underway. The final result could be very expensive for the automaker. Attorney General Patrick Morrisey Files Complaint Against Volkswagen of America, LLC 10/5/2015 CHARLESTON — Attorney General Patrick Morrisey announced today that his Office filed a complaint against Volkswagen of America, Inc. (Volkswagen), alleging the business violated the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act. The complaint alleges that Volkswagen fraudulently manufactured, advertised and sold a line of "clean diesel" vehicles with Turbo-charged Direct Injection (TDI) engines. "Volkswagen allegedly knowingly engineered certain vehicles to cheat U.S. emissions tests," Attorney General Morrisey said. "That is one reason why we have filed this complaint." A May 2014 study conducted by the Center for Alternative Fuels, Engines & Emissions at West Virginia University found elevated levels of emissions on several Volkswagen cars. Their data was then turned over to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Air Resources Board.
