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

European jury picks finalists for 2015 Car of the Year

Tue, Dec 16 2014

There are countless Car of the Year awards handed out each year, and naturally, Europe has its own way of doing things. Every year, a panel of jurists representing seven publications in seven different languages and seven different countries get together to name their joint Car of the Year. The panel released a list of 32 candidates back in July, and it has now whittled that list down to seven nominees. The list consists of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, the Citroen C4 Cactus (shown), the Ford Mondeo, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the Nissan Qashqai, the Renault Twingo and the Volkswagen Passat. Of those seven, only two are available in the US – those being the Mondeo (sold Stateside as the Fusion) and the C-Class. The Passat is an entirely different model in North America, the Qashqai isn't offered here, Citroen and Renault don't even participate in our market and the BMW 2 Series is represented here only by the completely different coupe and convertible. Expect the one and only recipient of the 2015 Car of the Year award to be announced at the Geneva Motor Show this coming March, and while you're waiting, you can place your guesses for the eventual winner in Comments.

New VW Beetle Convertible ad needs no disguise

Mon, 18 Feb 2013

Convertibles make you do funny things. Ask someone if they'd drive a hardtop in near freezing temperatures with all the windows down and they might not even answer, thinking the question so ridiculous. Give that same person a convertible they love and you might just have to ask them to please put the top up even when snow is on the ground.
That guy has to take precautions to enjoy his proclivities, and as this new ad for the Volkswagen Beetle Convertible shows, not everyone understands. Have a watch below, and note that there's just one woman in the minute-long spot, and she's nowhere near the car. Seriously, why didn't VW run this commercial during the Super Bowl?

Volkswagen kills planned 10-speed DSG

Sat, Sep 19 2015

If there are two things in this wild and crazy industry that keep growing, they are the size of cars and the number of gears in their transmissions. It wasn't ten years ago that cars with six forward gears – either manually or automatically shifted – were a relative rarity. Now, there are a multitude of sub-$30,000 cars with at least a six-speed automatic. But while eight- and nine-speed automatics are becoming increasingly common, no automaker has delivered a production ten-speed automatic (which may be a good thing, considering the reception to most nine-speed gearboxes). Ford and General Motors were collaborating on one as recently as April 2013, and Hyundai has was allegedly working on one way back in 2011. Most recently, though, Volkswagen announced a ten-speed, dual-clutch automatic in November 2014. And now, less than two years later, the project has apparently been shelved. That's according to our Vegemite-loving friends at Motoring.com.au, which report that both the cost and complexity of project has proved unfeasible for VW. "In the end, we had to balance what our priorities were with our transmissions and other things are more important and more urgent," an unnamed source at the Frankfurt Motor Show told the Aussie website. The ten-speed DSG was slated for a number of three- and four-cylinder models from VAG's entire range of affordable vehicles. It was also, allegedly, to feature in the ultra-high-performance Golf R400, Motoring reports. It's unclear how its cancellation will impact the company's future projects, if VW will look elsewhere for its small-car gearboxes, of if there's another – perhaps conventional – new transmission in the pipeline. Currently, VW's highest gear-count dual-clutch is the seven-speed DSG, shown above with company CEO Martin Winterkorn.
