Willing to ship worldwide, and I can deliver to Port of Norfolk VA.

Up for sale is our beautiful 1979 VW Westfalia Deluxe Camper!  It is in excellent shape with no known issues.  As you can see from the photos, it has been very well cared for, and we have done lots of work on this great bus.  We have had the bus since 2008, and taken her on many road trips and camping trips across Virginia, North Carolina, and West Virginia.  In the past three weeks she has gone on camping in Powhatan Co, and Lake Anna, both trips 100% trouble free.  The bus is located at my house in Newport News, VA 23608.

 

The body was painted just before we purchased it, and is holding up great.  At the same time they replaced the pop-top tent. There are no dents or dings, but just a scratch on the passenger door (see photo) and a tiny rust spot on the driver door (see photo). According to the previous owner, there was a dent that was fixed on the passenger side rear corner, but it does not show.

  

We have done a TON to improve the comfort and looks of the bus.  Here is a list of some of the features and improvements this bus has:

 

-very strong running engine (42k on odometer, but probably 142 or 242)

-recent tune up with new plugs and wires

-recent timing job

-recent valve adjustment

-recent brake job- Stops fast and strait

-new Kenwood (KDC-258U) CD player with aux input and USP port

- new 6.5 Kenwood Excelon door speakers

- new 3-way Pioneer speakers in rear cabin

-new front door panels

-new front kick panels

-new VA state inspection (4/15)

-deluxe refrigerator – Works great

-new deep cycle battery for the fridge and camping gear

-recently new starting battery

-new front cabin rubber mat

-New walkthrough mat

-New Westfalia fabric front seat covers

-Rear bench/mattress and upper mattress recently steam cleaned

-childs cot for front cabin area (not pictured because it was in my garage)

-complete original curtain set

-original front privacy curtain

-rear hatch mosquito screen

-cabinets recently laminated. Looks perfect!

-New fire extinguisher

-Good tires with tons of tread

-New carpet installed in rear cabin and around seats

-Rare front table

-Cool table mount for outside of bus.  Allows the large table to be set up outside when camping

-Full propane tank

-Full size spare tire with tons of tread

 

Although this is an amazing bus, here are a few things that should be addressed at some point:

 

-Driver door just started not opening when interior handle is pulled.  This is due to the speaker and door panel install.  It is a very easy fix, but you have to take to panel off.

-Scratch and rust mark previously mentioned, plus minor paint blemishes here and there.

-sink leaks when using city water.  It works perfectly on the tanked water.

-One interior light doesn't work. It’s likely the bulb.

-Front windshield seal needs replacing.  I have ordered a new one, and it is included in the sale.

-key is worn out a bit and locking some doors from the outside can be tricky

 

All in all this a great bus ready for your summer road trip.  I am available most of the time to show the bus if enough notice is given.  Please give me a call or shoot me a text message to set up an appointment to see her.  You will not be disappointed! 

 

Thank you,

VW offers to buy back new diesels if bans introduced

Thu, Mar 29 2018

By Maria Sheahan FRANKFURT, Germany — Volkswagen will buy back new diesel cars if German cities ban them, it said on Thursday, seeking to reassure potential buyers and stem a plunge in sales of diesel vehicles. Europe's biggest automaker also said it would extend incentives for buyers of new diesel cars. The moves come after a German court ruled last month that cities in the country could ban the most polluting diesel vehicles from their streets. Many German cities exceed European Union limits on atmospheric nitrogen oxide, known to cause respiratory diseases. Fears of bans have led to a plunge in demand for diesel vehicles, which are also key to carmakers' attempts to meet new EU rules on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. While diesel cars are heavily criticized for emitting nitrogen oxide, they spew out less CO2 than gasoline equivalents. Diesel car sales plunged 19 percent in Germany last month. At its core VW brand, Volkswagen said its buyback offer applied to new diesels bought between April 1 and the end of 2018 and would kick in if the city in which the buyer lived or worked banned diesels within three years of the purchase. It said its dealerships would buy back diesel vehicles affected by bans at their current value if their owners at the same time bought a new vehicle that was not affected by cities' driving restrictions. At Czech brand Skoda, the guarantee applies to cars bought between April 1 and the end of June, but will cover bans introduced within four years of the purchase date. At premium brand Audi, the offer only covers leased vehicles. Volkswagen also said it was extending to the end of June incentives for customers trading in older diesels for new ones. Fellow German carmaker BMW said earlier this month it would offer to take back leased vehicles if diesels were banned within 100 kilometers (62 miles) of the operator's home or place of work. There has been a global backlash against diesel-engine cars since Volkswagen admitted in 2015 to cheating U.S. exhaust tests. But Germany's government is seeking to avoid widespread bans on heavily polluting diesel vehicles, which companies say could cut the resale value of up to 15 million vehicles in Europe's biggest car market. In Germany, where motorists expect to drive powerful cars on motorways with no speed limits, any restrictions will be unpopular.

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.
