Up for auction today we have a 1974 Volkswagen Westfalia Campmobile. This bus had the engine rebuilt 5 or 6 years ago and was then parked due to leaky heat exchangers. The engine is very clean and looks to be fairly fresh. When the engine was rebuilt it was upgraded to a 2.0 Liter. We recently had all the fuel lines replaced and the carbs rebuilt. The bus starts right up and runs good once its warm. The battery has also been replaced within the last 30 days. The brakes work well but have not been gone through by us. The front has disc brakes and the rears are drums. The interior on this bus is in very respectable condition. We sent it to a professional detail shop right after we got it and it cleaned up very nice. The upper bunk area pads are missing but the rest of the interior is there. The canvas top has some holes in it as shown in the photos where mice chewed through the top. The curtain rods and curtains are there but are not shown in the photos. The curtains are in OK shape but have some holes and water stains. The gas gauge is not currently working. The front rubber floor mat is also missing. The bus has the matching footstool and childs cot that mounts over the front seats. This is a running driving project that still needs some work to be nice. There is a fair amount of rust in the outer rocker panels but the floors and structure of the frame are solid. Take a good look at the photos as we have tried to photograph the good, the bad and the ugly. Should be no surprises on this one. The heat exchangers on this bus seem to be leaking. We attempted to hook up the heater but there was a lot of exhaust coming in with the heat. There is also a lot of smoke that seems to be coming up through the air inlet when the bus is stopped. I believe this smoke is coming from the leaks in the heat exchangers. We haven't tested any of the camper accessories. Bid with confidence and bid to win. We are happy to help on our end with International buyers but shipping costs and arrangement are the responsibility of the buyer. We realize it may take a couple weeks to arrange your shipping and can store the bus inside our warehouse until you get your shipping worked out. Thanks for checking out our auction and good luck bidding. Check below for a youtube video tour of the bus. Please feel free to call with any questions you have about the bus. Jeremy. (208)200-6053

2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD is our favorite oil-burning GTI

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

The 2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD has officially bowed at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Engineers managed to squeeze an additional 14 horsepower and 22 pound-feet of torque out of the familiar 2.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engine, nudging total output to 184 hp and 280 lb-ft for 2014. The figures are good enough to earn the GTD the honor of being the most powerful diesel Golf in Volkswagen history. A start/stop system helps improve efficiency over the previous generation with the new model consuming 56 miles per gallon on the EU cycle. That's up from the 2013 model's 46 mpg. A six-speed manual transmission is standard equipment, though a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox is also available.
The GTD also offers buyers a few aesthetic tweaks to help separate the hatch from its less potent siblings. Those include a more aggressive front fascia, special badges and 17-inch alloy wheels. Expect to find the GTD in one of three exterior colors, including Tornado Red, Black and Pure White. Check out the quick press release below for more details.

VW teases GTI Supersport Vision Gran Turismo concept

Sun, Apr 12 2015

Volkswagen was among the first to demonstrate its Vision for Gran Turismo with the GTI Roadster concept, last year. And now it's gearing up to release another one. Previewed in the video clip above and the images in the gallery below, the new GTI Supersport is once again conceptually based on the German automaker's iconic hot hatch. But instead of a roofless design rendered in red, this one has a fixed roof with pseudo NACA ducts and white bodywork, along with twin nostril air extractors in the hood, a giant carbon-fiber rear wing and diffuser, and large side vents. In short, it looks like it'll be awesome, and we'll likely see the full thing before too long – so watch this space.

VW Scirocco is the car nerd's classic car

Wed, Apr 22 2015

Petrolicious undoubtedly makes some fantastic videos, but it often focuses on expensive, rare vehicles that many people might not be able to afford for their garage. This week the spotlight shifts to a modern coupe that's fairly accessible: the Volkswagen Scirocco. Owner Jason Cammisa is a senior editor at Road & Track, and his job puts him behind the wheel of some of the world's fastest supercars. Despite that, he has kept driving this 16-valve Scirocco that he has owned since college. The Scirocco is an easy car to love, though. Its simple, angular lines still look beautiful on the road today. While the four-cylinder engine doesn't make huge power, the coupe is nimble and ideal for a drive over twisty roads. Cammisa also makes an interesting point about owning affordable classics like this. Without a wealthy owner base like those that support vintage Corvettes or Porsches, there's little desire in the aftermarket to produce spare parts for his Scirocco. He worries about keeping the VW on the road decades into the future. For now, enjoy this '80s coupe thanks to this great clip from Petrolicious.
