No reserve. You are bidding on a 1976 VW Camper Van that runs but is in need of some restoration. There is rust along the lower part of the van, in the battery area and around the front window. There are places where the paint is chipped and the gas gauge does not work. The original color was mustard yellow.

The engine is a 2000cc Porsche engine. It has a muffler exhaust assembly that I purchased from JC Whitney several years ago; it is loud but could be replaced.

This could be a nice camper van for the right person who knows how to fix rust. I purchased it new in 1976 in Europe where my wife and I traveled 16,000 miles in this camper as we played hooky from work for 6 months. We have been the sole owners and have saved all maintenance records.

I have uploaded several high resolution photos and a HD video that give an accurate description of its condition.

It comes with a folding table, stool and a kiddie cot that goes above the drivers area.

While the van runs, I would not trust it to be driven any significant distance until repairs are completed. This is mostly due to the rust in the battery area as the battery is currently sitting on a board. So, unless this is a local purchase it should be shipped to its destination. Buyer is responsible for transportation.

If you have any questions please ask. You can also schedule a time to see the van in person before the auction ends.

VW Super Bowl teaser with Jimmy Cliff is like a less-mean Tosh.0 Web Redemption

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Reggae super-duper-star and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jimmy Cliff has been using music to send positive vibes out into the universe for decades now, so its no surprise that his message on behalf of Volkswagen is one of redemption.
Dubbed Sunny Side, this web-spot is VW's warmup of sorts for what promises to be another blockbuster year in the world of Super Bowl commercials. Without giving away the game, the euphonious commercial sees Cliff opening his arms and his heart to some YouTube 'celebrities' that might see courser treatment from the likes of Tosh.0, for instance. We can't help but be reminded of Coca-Cola's legendary 1971 Hilltop spot with the "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" lyric, too.
Enjoy the pre-Super Bowl VW spot below, and don't forget to pay it forward... your karma will thank you. For those of you that just can't get enough of commercial-making magic, we've included a "making-of" video, as well.

Happy 60th to the VW Karmann Ghia

Tue, 20 Aug 2013

Volkswagen's product portfolio may be as extensive these days as any other carmaker in the business. But if you still think of the original Beetle as synonymous with the brand, that's probably because a) you're old and b) the Beetle was the company's only product until the mid-50s.
Sixty years ago Wilhelm Karmann (founder of the eponymous coachbuilder) was in Paris for the auto salon and met up with Luigi Segre and his team from Carrozzeria Ghia who showed him what was essentially a "Beetle in a sports coat." A month later they showed it to Volkswagen chief Heinrich Nordhoff who, setting aside his conservative tastes, approved it for production. And so the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia was born, giving the German marque a second product line. It still used Beetle mechanicals and was built at the same Karmann factory in Onsabrück that was already assembling the Beetle Cabriolet.
It took another couple of years to put the design into production, but from 1955 to 1974, Volkswagen and Karmann built 362,601 coupes and 80,881 of the subsequent convertible that arrived in 1957. Today the Onsabrück factory is part of the VW Group, handling production of the Golf Cabriolet, XL1 and Porsche Boxster and Cayman, and with that original Karmann Ghia prototype as part of its factory collection.
