1972 Volkswagon Camper Bus on 2040-cars
Huntsville, Alabama, United States
|
1972 VW Campmobile! This bus was owned by a lady in Marshalltown Iowa and was owned until 1996. I have her notebook detailing every fillip and trip from 1972-1995!!!. It was wholesaled when she traded it and ended up in Florida where the second owner purchased it. I bought it from them in 2007 and it was not running. The pics show all the receipts for parts and labor I have had done. All work was done professionally not by me. The Bus is awesome to drive and here is a list of what has been done in the past 5 years and I have put less than 2000 miles on the bus since:
-Engine rebuilt by Wayne Pachico, the local VW expert. Wayne actually held the world VW Bug drag record for a short while! The engine has been completely rebuilt but I didn't have the parts painted so it still looks old. Engine is solid and sound runs perfect! See pic for details -New brakes, drums, pads, lines, calipers, hoses, cylinders, shoes -New paint outside and door jambs. -New Hankook tires -New windshield -all rubber seals on bus are new including windows, doors, handles, engine compartment, sliding door. Every seal is new, $920 kit -New upholstery on interior. Seats, Bed, floor mats, carpet -New OEM tent and matching cot. I found this from a guy that's uncle was an O eM tent maker for. VW and he had it since the late 70's! -New JVC stereo system, very nice CD, Sirius XM ready and plug in your IPhone! -New Front. Emblem -New side mirrors -New sun visors -New tail lights, headlights, signal lights -New chrome hubcaps I'm sure I missed some things but you get the general idea that everything on the bus is new! It is a great ride, I drive it enough to keep it fresh and had a blast getting it back on the road but it needs to go. Please feel free to email me with any questions as I have tried to describe the bus as accurately as I can it is 42 years old but drives like a new one ! The bus is at 35741 zip code for shipping quotes. I would feel very comfortable driving the bus anywhere. Last fall I drove it every day for 6 weeks while my truck was being repaired and never had the first issue. Very dependable! Good luck and happy camping!

The underside is in good condition. The only rust is where the battery sits which is pretty normal. I just didn't get to it. It's a cheap fix but doesn't have to be done. Thx just trying to give full disclosure. Happy Camping! |

VW investigating Golf water leak discovered by car magazine
Sat, 07 Sep 2013Volkswagen is in a spat with German magazine Auto Bild over claims that its new, seventh-generation Golf may already need a recall. The German weekly reports that new Golfs can leak water into front-passenger footwells due to a faulty drainage tube in their air conditioning systems.
And while the fix itself doesn't sound too terrible, because Volkswagen bases so many cars off the same platform as the Golf, Auto Bild is claiming that 300,000 models could be affected, including the Audi A3 and Seat Leon. That's a very bold claim. For its part, VW is vehemently denying that number, according to Reuters, saying it's aware of the problem and claiming only 46 Golfs need fixing. In addition, it denies that any Audi or Seat models are affected by the issue.
Either way, regardless of how pervasive this leak issue is, North American buyers should rest easy knowing that the problems ought to get fixed by the time the Mk VII Golf finaly reaches our dealerships.

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee teases return with a Countach
Fri, May 29 2015Unless you have an intense aversion to Jerry Seinfeld, it's hard not to find something to like about his show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. After all, the series combines funny people telling often hilarious stories while riding in ridiculously cool vehicles. The trailer for the sixth season is now online, and based on this tease, this definitely looks worth watching no matter what part of the videos interest you. Of course, it's the automotive portion that really grabs us, and Seinfeld has quite a fleet to showcase for season six. The trailer shows off a Lamborghini Countach, a '57 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible, a classic Volkswagen Beetle in the green and white German Polizei livery, a Morgan, an Aston Martin DB5, and a Ferrari 308. On the more humorous side of things, the guest list at least includes Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jim Carrey, Steve Harvey, Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher and upcoming host of The Daily Show Trevor Noah. Season six of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee premieres on Crackle on Wednesday, June 3, at 11:30 PM ET.
