1976 Volkswagen Vw Westfalia Bus Van-nice! on 2040-cars
Wilmington, North Carolina, United States
|
1976 Volkswagen Westfalia Camper Bus-Nice! Exterior: The bus is in great shape. It was repainted by the previous owner to match factory original green and it looks stunning! There are small imperfections, dents and scratches but nothing significant or easily noticeable. This bus is almost 40 years old and in amazing condition for the age. It has been stored inside since I've had it. All the glass is original (couple nicks on windshield) and the doors open and close with ease. Interior: The ALL ORIGINAL INTERIOR is in good used condition. The front seat edges is showing some wear. A few nicks here and there on the furniture. Also it appears the sink faucet head was replaced with newer one. Original green curtain set 360 degrees. Slide in table also included with sale. The Engine: The engine is the pancake VW 4 Cylinder 2.0 Liter, replaced by the previous owner 6 years ago. It runs strong and the transmission shifts smoothly. Converted to carb last year and I like it! The Good: This classic VW Bus is in great shape and could be easily taken to VW Shows/Events or left as a daily driver or used for camping trip. It doesn't have any significant rust which is remarkable for it age. It drives and shifts better that any other bus I've ever driven. They all seem to be a little finicky but this one it really straight forward and relatively easy to drive. The light and turn signals works as they should. All tires and original rims in good condition and currently don't need any attention. VW hubcaps and all chrome handles are shiny and looks really sharp! Things to do in near future: This is a 37 year old vehicle so not everything look brand new. There are small imperfection in the interior and exterior. The gas gauge flickers at times but I was told this is an easy fix. The canvas should be replaced since its original so I'm including a BRAND NEW Canvas and Gasket for the new owner ($550 value). I purchased from Bus Depot two weeks ago. I took the rear white bumper off to sand and repaint but liked it actually without since its so clean in the back. This bus does have minor room for improvement but is in amazing condition given the age. This is a no reserve auction and the winning bidder drives away with an amazing all original VW Camper Bus with years of enjoyment ahead. If you have any ?'s, feel free to email me and I will respond asap! Also, I encourage inspections so I'll be available for showings in sunny Wilmington, NC. NOTE: NO INTERNATIONAL BIDDING. US FUNDS ACCEPTED-CASH, CERTIFIED BANK CHECK, OR WIRE. As soon as payment is received and cleared, title will be shipped to new owner. |

U.S. opens probe into whether VW vehicles infringe Jaguar Land Rover patents
Tue, Dec 22 2020WASHINGTON — The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) said on Monday it is opening in investigation into whether Volkswagen AG infringed on patents held by Jaguar Land Rover for a system used for off-road driving. In November, Jaguar Land Rover, a unit of Tata Motors, filed a complaint with the ITC seeking to prevent the import of some VW Porsche, Lamborghini and Audi models with "certain vehicle control systems" that allegedly infringe on it patents held for its Terrain Response system. The models include the Lamborghini Urus, Porsche Cayenne and AudiÂ’s Q8, Q7, Q5, A6 Allroad, and E-Tron vehicles and the VW Tiguan. The ITC said it has made no decision on the merits. VW said in a statement it was examining the action and determining its next steps. "We will of course cooperate with investigating authorities. While we cannot comment on any details of the proceedings, we strongly believe that the claims have no merit and will robustly defend our position," VW said. Many automakers offer a suite of off-road powertrain controls, but JLR claims Volkswagen's tech is more than just similar. Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) said the vehicles "have used JLRÂ’s patented inventions without payment or permission" notably a patent for an "improved system for driving a vehicle on different driving surfaces, in particular off-road." JLR says its Terrain Response technology uses the patented technology to maximize performance on off-road driving surfaces, including grass, snow, mud, sand and rocks.
Volkswagen considering a four-door, four-seat XL1
Fri, 22 Aug 2014According to a report in Autocar, Volkswagen might have more in mind for the XL1 than mining it for advances to grace the next-generation Golf. Aiming to fight the Honda FCEV due for public consumption next year, we're told VW executives have put a four-door, four-seater version of the XL1 - it could be called XL2 - on the drawing board. The impetus is said to come from the top, with VW Group chairman Ferdinand Piëch intent on staying in the deep end of "super-efficent vehicles."
Autocar suspects the necessary changes could raise the weight of the car from 1,749 pounds to 2,068 pounds, which would make it four pounds less than the 2,072-pound Up! we drove a few years ago. Crucially, however, the mag thinks the extra capacity wouldn't change the two-seater's 310-mile-per-gallon rating, with tech tweaks and the aerodynamic benefit of a longer car offsetting the weight. Speculation is that the back seats would be staggered like the fronts in order to maintain the XL1's overall profile.
We recently heard about another XL1 variant that's gone off the radar entirely, the Ducati-engined XLR that we thought we'd see at the Geneva Motor Show and that was said to be going into production, so this one could go the same way. The biggest hurdle to making such an idea a reality, though, could be the price: the current XL1 costs 110,000 euros ($146,116). If VW really is going to compete with the Honda FCEV and the Toyota FCV - $70,000 in Japan - that might be where it wants to start.
Volkswagen planning Up! hybrid model using XL1 powertrain
Sun, 24 Feb 2013Even though we've finally gotten a look at the production version of the 261-mile per gallon Volkswagen XL1, this aero-shaped two-seater was never intended for high-volume sales. Fortunately, it sounds like the same isn't true for the car's diesel plug-in hybrid powertrain, which, according to a report from AutoCar, could make its way under the hood of another Volkswagen model: the Up! minicar (shown above).
A potential Up! Hybrid would likely be able to return some of the same impressive fuel economy numbers as the XL1, but it would be a more realistic car with more passenger space and greater production capacity. The hand-built XL1 will use a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder TDI engine paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the 27-hp electric motor and lithium-ion battery helps deliver an all-electric driving range of 31 miles.
One of the core pillars of the XL1's design is its lightweight construction with a 1752-pound curb weight, which makes the Up! a perfect recipient for using this powertrain since it weighs just 300 pounds more. The report says that the Up! Hybrid is still in the developmental phase, so a production version isn't expected for at least another 18 months.
