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! On Jun-03-14 at 13:10:08 PDT, seller added the following information: The sink and extra seats pictured come with the bus. I also have the original hubcaps and the original stereo. 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! |

2015 VW Golf R caught getting a flogging on 'Ring
Wed, 22 May 2013The upcoming version of the Volkswagen Golf R is nearly ready for prime time, if this video of the car flying around the Nürburgring is any indication. The all-wheel-drive R seems to make quick, neat work of the corners we see here, and sounds pretty devilish in the process.
Expectations are that the new Golf R will run a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (what else?), tuned to produce even more than the current car's 256 horsepower. (Some sources have indicated outputs as high as 286 horsepower, with 280 pound-feet of torque. It's still not clear if Volkswagen will bring the six-speed dual-clutch transmission to the US-spec Golf R in this next go-round or if we'll stick to having only... eh... the stick.
In either case - watching the video below will only whet your appetite for the new, highest performing member of the Golf family.
VW boss confirms Subaru-aping Golf Alltrack for US
Fri, Nov 21 2014Subaru needs to watch out, because the Japanese brand with a utilitarian image has a big bull's eye on its back. Not only is Acura considering going 100-percent all-wheel drive in a bid to mimic the successful automaker, Volkswagen has just confirmed that the Golf Alltrack is coming to the US as another competitor for Subaru's popular Outback crossover. Volkswagen Group of America CEO Michael Horn has confirmed the addition of the higher-riding, all-wheel drive version of the Golf SportWagen to Automotive News, indicating that the model will arrive in the US in 2016. "That's what our dealers, our customers, are asking us for," he said to the industry publication. The Golf Alltrack, which debuted at the Paris Motor Show in early October, has an extra 0.75 inches of ride height and protective black cladding all the way around. Its biggest mechanical differentiator from other Golfs is its Haldex all-wheel drive system, a setup that can completely unhook from the rear axle when not needed to save fuel. In Europe, the Alltrack is available with a turbocharged 1.8-liter with 178 horsepower and two diesels offering between 109hp and 182 hp. However, Horn made no mention of likely powertrains for the US. Horn tells Automotive News that all-wheel drive tooling is currently being installed at the Puebla, Mexico, factory where the standard Golf Sportwagen is built. VW might have tipped its hand about this possibility several months ago when press shots of the wagon were released for the US with TDI and 4Motion badges. Horn says he expects even the front-wheel drive version to be a sales hit here, suggesting it may eventually account for 50 percent of the Golf range's volume.
