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

VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad

Mon, 28 Jan 2013


Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.

Volkswagen formally introduces super-efficient XL1

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Lightweight and low drag are hallmarks of great sportscar design. But when paired with a super-efficient, hybrid powertrain, you have the Volkswagen's XL1 that has been formally introduced in Geneva today.
When the 1,700-lb, carbon-fiber-bodied two-seater hits the road, its claimed 261 miles per gallon will make it the world's most-fuel-efficient production car. Though "production car" might be a stretch since VW said in a February press release that the XL1 would be built using "handcrafting-like production methods." We translate that to mean you won't be seeing many of these cars on the road. Though no one at VW has mentioned pricing yet, early rumors suggested a six-figure price tag.
That's supercar budget for a vehicle that has a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder diesel engine and a 27hp electric motor. With numbers like that, owners can expect 0-62 mph times of 12.7 seconds and top speed near 100 mph.

Cars with the most reckless drivers are full of surprises

Wed, Oct 13 2021

Insurify is a site for comparing auto insurance quotes. Because insurance shoppers need to submit information like the vehicles they're driving and the infractions they've compiled while driving those vehicles, Insurify has quite the database of correlations tying certain models to a habit of breaking certain laws. When the site's data analysts decided to compile a list of the top ten models for reckless driving citations in the decade from 2010 to 2019, the ranking contained a few wild entries. The Dodge Challenger making the countdown will surprise precisely zero people. But the Saturn L200? First, a definition: USLegal.com defines reckless driving as "driving with a willful or wanton disregard for safety. It is the operation of an automobile under such circumstances and in such a manner as to show a willful or reckless disregard of consequences." So this list is a caution about particular drivers more than the cars. For a baseline, according to Insurify data, for any random model, 15 out of 10,000 people who drive that model have picked up one citation for reckless driving. Back to that Challenger, then. No shocker for being here, but it's actually number 10, with 44 out of 10,000 Challenger drivers nabbed for a willful disregard of consequences on the road. That's better than the first surprise entry, the Saturn L200, a sedan only on sale for six years, with the least horsepower on the list, and out of production since 2005. The data set put drivers of GM's extraterrestrial sedan at 45 reckless pilots per 10,000 drivers. There are two pickups on the list, the only modern one being the Ram 1500 at eighth, with a rate of 46 in 10,000. Somehow, drivers of the third-best-selling pickup in the U.S. outrun the overwhelming numerical superiority of the best-selling vehicle in the States, the Ford F-150. The other pickup is the Chevrolet K1500 at number five, with a rate of 56 in 10,000. This is not only the oldest vehicle on the list, it went out of production in 2002, before any other vehicle on the list. Between the trucks, the Volkswagen CC slotted in at seven with 47 in 10,000 reckless driving chits, the Cadillac ATS slipped into sixth with 48 in 10,000.  The top four is a bag of unexpected. The Nissan 370Z is the first hardcore sports car on the list at number four, with 61 in 10,000 Z drivers flaunting their Fairladys in the face of Johnny Law.
