This is an awesome camper van and I hate to sell it but I need to free up some storage space. It's a fantastic example of an original, classic Volkswagen camper and it's becoming very hard to find one in this condition that hasn't been completely restored. Their are a few blemishes here and there but they give it character. The odometer shows 80k miles and although I don't have any documentation to support it, I believe it's genuine. The bus is just too nice to 180k. The bus runs and drive great and doesn't have any clucks or rattles that you would associate with an old car. It has the original 1800 cc engine, 4 speed manual transmission and both work great. The interior is in very good shape as well and you have to love that funky '70's plaid upholstery. I will do my best to describe my bus accurately and honestly for you.

The bus was built on Wednesday, April 3rd, 1974 and painted L90D Pastel White It still wears almost all of it's original paint and I don't think it's ever been in an accident. It still shines like a new car. There nose has typical rock chips and the paint is worn under the spare tire. There is small dent on the right front door by the reflector but that's about the worst of it. It looks like the right rear corner was repainted at some point in the past as well and there are two small holes drilled in each rear quarter panel, possibly for some kind of door guard. There is also a tiny dent in the tailgate and some scuff marks on the sliding door. I had the fiberglass top repainted when I bought it because the gel coat was staring to fail. I've looked it over from top to bottom and the only real rust that I've found is a couple small holes under the battery, which is pretty typical and would be an easy fix.

The interior is in great shape and nearly all original as well. It has green door cards, green carpet and of course, that crazy blue and green plaid seat upholstery. I had the front seat padding replaced because it was in sad shape but everything else is as new. There is a hole about the size of a quarter in the rear seat bottom. It has a period aftermarket am/fm stereo which works well. The sink, icebox and dining table are all there. the pop top works smoothly and the canvas is in pretty good shape. the zipper on the front window needs to be re-sewed but other than that it's ready for some camping!

It still has the original 1800cc dual carb type four engine, which is completely stock. It looks like the muffler has been replaced sometime in the past. It recently had an oil change, tune up, valve adjustment and new engine compartment seal put in. it runs like a champ and is ready for some road trips. The tires have plenty of tread and the brakes work well too. It comes with four original VW keys and two keys for the locking gas cap as well as the owners manual.

This is a beautiful classic Westaflia camper and it's to take it's next owner on some great adventures. if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. you will have to figure out the shipping but I will be happy to assist with transport in the Denver area. Thanks for looking!

New investor allows Suzuki to fend off VW

Tue, Aug 4 2015

After years of legal wrangling, the long-soured partnership between Volkswagen and Suzuki looks finally to be coming out of arbitration, according to Bloomberg. As a sign of the Japanese brand's improved fortunes, hedge fund Third Point LLC recently bought an undisclosed stake in the company. The investor reported seeing a major opportunity in the successful Maruti Suzuki business in India. As an investment, the only major problem that Third Point found with Suzuki was its legal battle with VW. "The company's greatest asset is its low-cost manufacturing process for vehicles for the emerging market consumer," the fund said in a letter, according to Bloomberg. Third Point reportedly also wants a seat on Suzuki's board, despite being a minority shareholder. The alliance between Suzuki and VW goes back to late 2009. In the deal, the Japanese brand was meant to get access to cutting-edge tech, and the German firm got a helping hand towards better establishing itself in India and Southeast Asia. Things didn't go as planned, though. Less than two years later, Suzuki's boss publicly derided the deal. Eventually, the allegations started going back and forth, and the two have been working out a way to untangle practically ever since. Among the biggest issue has been how to get back the 19.9 percent stake that VW purchased. According to Bloomberg, the arbitration is now technically over. With the divorce nearly final, the two sides are just waiting on a decision on how to split things up. Suzuki may even just buy VW's stake to get the shares back.

2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

The Golf VI's Last Hurrah Is Pure Niche
This was in the heart of the ultra-chic Côte d'Azur during winter. The car to be tested was the not-for-North America 2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet. Prevailing weather conditions here this time of year are bizarrely pleasant, as though a dome of Swarovski crystal has been placed over the entire region to protect it from any real winter spoiling things. And the zippy Golf R Cabriolet is a sports car designed precisely for this area's preciously narrow winding streets, as well as for the lofty budgets of its property owners.
So then why was it snowing like we were in northern Michigan? The weather front hit from the north like a swift kick to the Jordaches. The roof was open on this Candy White Golf R Cabrio and I, as is my wont, was determined through thick or thin to keep it retracted. It had been raining and sometimes sleeting like the End of Days, but I kept the lid cracked because the 261-horsepower cabrio - the most powerful convertible ever built by Volkswagen - was snipping along nicely as the bad weather blew over my head and wetted only the rear headrests.

Volkswagen Cross Up! aimed at rugged lifestyle folks, complete with plastic cladding

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

If you thought there was nothing wrong with the Volkswagen Up! that a little body cladding wouldn't fix, you're in luck. VW has officially pulled the wraps off the production version of the Cross Up!, and its wheel arches and rocker panels are full of the black plastic cladding you've been yearning for.
In addition to the "particularly rugged design and tough, lifestyle qualities" that the cladding exudes, VeeDub has also seen fit to put its Cross Up! on a new set of 16-inch alloy wheels clad in 185/50-series tires. Inside, there are new kick plates to go along with a dash pad that can be had in red, black or silver.
All that cladding must equal additional off-road readiness, right? Well, sure... just so long as you're fine with the same 75-horsepower three-cylinder engine that all other Up! models also feature, along with a five-speed manual transmission sending power to the front wheels, again, just like all other Up! models. The Cross Up! appears to have a taller ride height than other models, but we haven't been able to find out what - if any - changes have been made.
