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

Anti-union group files lawsuit against VW and UAW

Fri, 14 Mar 2014

The fight for unionization at Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN, factory isn't letting up. Yesterday, the National Labor Relations Board decided to allow anti-United Auto Workers employees at the plant the right to defend voting down the measure. Now, a group called the National Right to Work Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of five workers against VW and the UAW for allegedly working together to organize.
The group says in a release that it wants "to block further collusion between the company and the United Auto Workers." It alleges that VW forced workers to attend "mandatory pro-union meetings" and prevented managers from opposing. In a rebuttal on its website, the UAW called the claims "baseless" and said its actions were entirely legal.
One possible problem faces the carmaker in regards to the lawsuit. According to the Detroit Free Press, a recent US Court of Appeals ruling found that neutrality agreements like the one the business had with the UAW could be illegal if the company provided "things of value" to the union. The newspaper also claims that VW held a mandatory employee meeting concerning the election, but workers were free to leave during the UAW's presentation.

Volkswagen unveils sportier Passat Performance Concept ahead of Detroit debut

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

Ahead of its official unveiling at next week's Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen has released some preliminary details and images of its Passat Performance Concept - a car that, as its name suggests, adds a little more spice to the automaker's midsize sedan formula. VW makes no mention of any production intent for this road-ready-looking sedan, simply stating that the Performance Concept is a way to "explore this practical four-door's sportier side."
It certainly doesn't look too sporty, the only visual upgrades being larger 19-inch wheels, dual exhaust, bi-xenon headlamps with VW's Advanced Front Lighting system, LED taillmaps and carbon-look mirror caps. Inside, there are carbon interior accents and two-tone leather upholstery. But no matter, the real upgrades for this mightier Passat are found below the sheetmetal.
Powering the Performance Concept is a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, churning out 250 horsepower and sending its grunt to the ground via a six-speed automatic transmission. For reference, that's 80 more horsepower than the Passat's base 2.5-liter inline-five, but 20 horsepower less than the potent 3.6-liter VR6. As for other performance upgrades, Volkswagen has fitted the car with a lowered sport suspension and revamped electronic steering, which should indeed add a bit more dynamic feedback to the already nice-driving sedan.

Recharge Wrap-up: AutoNation CEO calls anti-Tesla laws unnecessary, Common Pence donates subway money

Thu, Nov 13 2014

Volkswagen has presented a list of near-term technologies to improve fuel economy and decrease emissions. The list includes an addition to a coasting function in its stop-start system, a 10-speed DSG transmission and a more power-dense four-cylinder TDI engine. Volkswagen aims to be the world's most sustainable automaker by 2018 through electric mobility, improved design and increased environmental performance from internal combustion vehicles. Volkswagen also announced other technologies for increased interactivity and connectivity in its vehicles. Read more at Green Car Congress. Commence Pence is a system that allows subway riders in London to donate their unused transit money to charity. People visiting the city often load up enough on their subway card (called Oyster Card) to get them through their trip and end up with unused funds leftover. Zander Whitehurst, a British designer, has created a device that can use the card's RFID to accept leftover funds, which then get diverted to charity rather than reverting back to the agency in charge of running the subway fare system. See the video below or read more at Wired. Mike Jackson, CEO of AutoNation has called Michigan's efforts to ban Tesla's direct sales in the state "unnecessary protectionism." The statement comes as a bit of a surprise, as it dissents from the majority of auto dealers who support a franchise model, as well as laws that forbid automakers selling directly to the consumer. "If Elon Musk wants to make a mistake and go with an inefficient distribution system, that's his right as an American," says Jackson, showing he feels he has little to fear from the electric automaker. Jackson has more to say on the matter, which you can read over at Green Car Reports. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
