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.

VW bringing fuel cell concept to LA Auto Show
Mon, Nov 17 2014Amid the flurry of hydrogen announcements from Toyota and Honda last night, Volkwagen has something to add: a new hydrogen fuel cell concept vehicle. This will be the first VW hydrogen fuel cell vehicle in many years – remember the Tiguan Hy-Motion back in 2008? – and it comes as a bit of a surprise. First written up by the German publication Wirtschaft Woche, VW is going to have the prototype car (not pictured) available at the ride and drive at the Los Angeles Auto Show later this week. We don't yet know what kind of vehicle will sport the hydrogen powertrain, but our money's on a Golf variant. We'll see soon enough when we get to Los Angeles. What's interesting is that there have been a number of not-so-mixed messages out of the VW executive ranks when it comes to hydrogen vehicles. VW's Japanese president, Shigeru Shoji, said in September that, hydrogen fuel cells, "may fly within Japan, but not globally." Last year, VW's electrification head Rudolf Krebs said that "hydrogen mobility only makes sense if you use green energy." Also last year, VW CEO Martin Winterkorn said it's basically impossible to build hydrogen vehicles at a "reasonable cost." Nonetheless, we're going to see a new VW H2 concept soon. Thoughts?
Volkswagen plans expansion, tech center in Chattanooga
Tue, Apr 7 2015Volkswagen is expanding its growing Chattanooga, TN, factory by even more than the original plans after winning the local government's approval. The German automaker announced its intention last year to invest $900 million to add 538,000 square feet of floor space to the plant, which would add 2,000 new jobs. The company just went back to the city for permission to increase the expansion by a further 130,153 square feet for an even larger body shop. The extra construction is estimated to cost around $18 million. VW spokesperson Catharina Mette described the decision as "a cost-saving option," to Autoblog. "Taking this action now saves money while giving us flexibility as we integrate the MQB platform in the future," she said. By the end of 2016, the Chattanooga plant will begin production of VW's forthcoming crossover, which should look similar to the Cross Coupe GTE concept. VW has further plans for the research, development, and planning center near the factory. According to the Chattanooga Times Free Press, some of the designers and engineers will start work at a temporary facility there next week. A permanent location will open in 2017 with a test track and space to perform crash evaluations. The engineering center is meant to speed up the rate of vehicle development to bring models to the North American market more quickly."This will be the central entity in all the US, and hopefully all of North America," Matthias Erb, who oversees the center, said to the newspaper.
