1979 Vw Bus Camper Riviera Like Westfalia / Transporter Bay Window - Runs Great on 2040-cars
Westminster, California, United States
|
Hello,
I'll try and explain as much as possible but please see the pictures to make your own assessment or message me if you have more questions. I purchase this vehicle and as most people don't have enough time to work on it as I would like. It's actually a great vehicle and great place to start if you plan to restore or just drive it as is. I didn't want a vehicle that needed an engine or transmission issues. I wanted to use it the moment I got it and I have. I have driven this vehicle as far as 200 miles at one time without issues. I have camped in it in the local mountains and the beach. It really has been a lot of fun. As I'm sure most of you know these classics are getting harder and harder to find. This camper or weekender if you prefer is a Riviera, so the top pops straight up. Its got much more room than the Westphalia models. There is an extension to the bunkbed to make it longer but my son didn't need it. The lower bunk is very comfortable as well. The interior is pretty complete to include the curtains. The canvas top could use a fixing or replacement but I've used it open with no issues, just more air. The vehicle has a newer CD player and speakers that have long wires to move them around. I had planned on adding a folding table and extra seat but didn't get that far. The vehicle has some bad window tint on it and I just started to remove some of it. You may see some of the differences in the pictures as I've been removing a little at a time. The vehicle has rust as most of these that are un-restored do. I'll point out the bigger parts of the body. You will see that the front tire was removed and there are 4 holes there. Some surface rust all about the body. The right rear taillight was "tapped" so there is body damage there and needs a new light but the housing still works and lights up. The passenger door has a dent in it and when you open that door there is some fiberglass repair in the lower wheel well area. When you pop the top the roof is pretty rusted but I haven't seen any leaks coming into the vehicle as of yet. Been through some rain and multiple car washes. The front of the camper top needs to be repaired. It's all there just needs to be pushed back and re-glassed. You will then need to rivet it back to the roof. I have a tie strap holding it down and have many miles on it like that without issues. Mechanics have been good for me. As I stated before when I purchased it I wanted to drive it and I have... It has been up and down the coast a few times and inland as well to the local mountains. It has never left we stranded, except for the tires that came on it. It had passenger tires on it when I changed all to LT tires. This should give you many enjoyable miles on it. If you didn't know we've been in a heat wave here in Cali too and that's never been an issue sitting in LA traffic either. It leaks some engine oil but I check it every time I drive it, but it's never been low on oil. It's been a really fun vehicle and have already had so many great memories on it. I wish you happy bidding and hope you have the same great times with it as I have. Feel free to message me if you need additional information. |

Volkswagen says goodbye to Eos, Routan in 2015 updates
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Usually automakers announce changes to their lineup individually on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis, but sometimes it all comes at once - especially when the changes are ones we either expected or might not otherwise notice. That's the path Volkswagen has gone with changes to its US lineup for 2015.
The biggest change is what we already knew: that the new Golf arrives for the 2015 model year, bringing with it the new GTI, Golf R, e-Golf and Golf SportWagen (to replace the previous Jetta wagon). But there are some new details as well.
For starters, Volkswagen has finally confirmed that both the Eos and the Routan - both long rumored to be on their way out - will be exiting this year. The Eos hardtop convertible, pictured above, will linger for one last year, its Sport trim replaced by a new Final Edition with 18-inch wheels, two-tone leather interior and enhanced equipment.
VW invests in QuantumScape for potentially fireproof, long-range EV batteries
Mon, Dec 8 2014VW might be getting ready to push its plug-in technology in a big way thanks to an investment in the battery startup QuantumScape. Key point: the solid-state battery is said to be fireproof and will offer tremendous range advantages. Details are not abundant yet, but according to Bloomberg, VW of America bought a five-percent stake in QuantumScape (and has an option to raise its holding). The tech could "more than triple" the EV range of VW, Porsche and Audi plug-in vehicles as soon as the middle of 2015, according to unnamed sources that Bloomberg talked to. Former Stanford University researchers started QuantumScape in 2010. The bare-bones QuantumScape website (there's nothing there other than some contact information) doesn't offer many hints about what's happening at the company, but GigaOM's Katie Fehrenbacher notes that QuantumScape is licensing tech from the "All Electron Battery" project at Stanford a few years ago. It certainly sounds amazing: [It's] a completely new class of electrical energy storage devices for electric vehicles that has the potential to provide ultra-high energy and power densities, while enabling extremely high cycle life. The All-Electron Battery stores energy by moving electrons, rather than ions, and uses electron/hole redox instead of capacitive polarization of a double-layer. ... If successful, this project will develop a completely new paradigm in energy storage for electrified vehicles that could revolutionize the electric vehicle industry. If that's what's coming in a future e-Golf or E-Tron, sign us up.
