1979 Vw Westfalia Deluxe Camper - Beautiful Inside And Out! Roadtrip Ready! on 2040-cars
Newport News, Virginia, United States
Please see full picture album here: http://imgur.com/a/YvU7B 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,
Alex 757-773-1566

Volkswagen sketches Geneva-bound concept
Wed, Feb 25 2015Volkswagen has released a pair of sketches that give us our first official glimpse at the company's new concept car, set to debut at the Geneva Motor Show next week. Details are slim – the car doesn't even have a name yet – but we do have some facts about VW's swoopy new showcar. First off, it's a sedan – well, "four-door coupe" – but is said to have a hatchback configuration. Autoblog has also learned that the car will be powered by a hybrid powertrain, using a TSI gasoline engine paired with two electric motors, and uses an all-wheel-drive configuration that's likely similar to that in the recently unveiled Cross Coupe GTE concept. Volkswagen says this showcar uses a new, progressive design language for the brand. And while it sort of looks like a dead ringer for a new CC, we're told this concept is positioned above that model. For now, that's all we know, but we expect a host of other details to be released closer to the car's official debut in Geneva next week. Stay tuned.

The best Super Bowl car commercials from the last 5 years
Wed, Jan 28 2015If you've been dipping into the Autoblog feed over the past days and weeks, you wouldn't even have to be a sports fan to know the Super Bowl is coming up. Automakers have been teasing their spots for the big game, dropping them days early, fully-formed onto the Internet and otherwise trying to amp up the multi-million-dollar outlays that they've made for air time on the biggest advertising day of the year. And, we're into it. The lead up to the Super Bowl is almost akin to a mini auto show around these parts; with automakers being amongst the most prolific advertisers on these special Sundays. The crop of ads from 2015 looks as strong as ever, but we thought we'd take a quick look back at some of our favorite spots from the last five years. Take a look at our picks – created from a very informal polling of Autoblog editors and presented in no particular order – and then tell us about your recent faves, in Comments. Chrysler, Imported From Detroit Chrysler, Eminem and a lingering pan shot of "The Fist" – it doesn't get much more Motown than 2011's Imported From Detroit. With the weight of our staffers hailing from in and around The D, it's no wonder that our memories still favor this epic Super Bowl commercial (even though the car it was shilling was crap). Imported really set the tone for later Chrysler ads, too, repeated the formula: celebrity endorsement + dramatic copy + dash of jingoism = pulled car-guy heartstrings. Mercedes-Benz, Soul teaser with Kate Upton One of our favorite Super Bowl commercials (and yours, based on the insane number of views you logged) didn't even technically air during the game. Mercedes-Benz teased its eventual spot Soul with 90-seconds worth of Kate Upton threatening to do her best Joy Harmon impression. (Teaser indeed.) It doesn't win points for cleverness, use of music, acting, or any compelling carness, but it proved that Mercedes' advertisers knew how to make a splash in the Internet Age. And, hey, it's still classier than every GoDaddy commercial. Kia, A Dream Car. For Real Life Like the Mercedes video above, the initial draw here is a pretty lady; in this case the always stunning Adriana Lima. But this Kia commercial really delivers the extra effort we expect while scarfing crabby snacks and homemades, too. First of all, Motley Crue. Second, a cowboy on a bucking rhino. Enjoy yet again.
10 of 18 midsize SUVs earn 'good' IIHS side impact safety rating
Wed, May 18 2022It's not terribly surprising that midsize SUVs earned better safety ratings than small SUVs in the latest side-impact tests performed by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Just how much better they scored, on the other hand, certainly raises an eyebrow. Ten out of 18 midsize SUVs earned the highest rating of 'good' in the stringent new test, altered for vehicles starting with the 2020 model year with a heavier barrier (4,200 pounds) that moves at a higher speed (37 miles per hour) and is fitted with a hard honeycomb frontal structure. By way of contrast, just one out of of 20 small SUVs earned a 'good' score. SUVs that receiving 'good' scores were the Ford Explorer, Infiniti QX60, Lincoln Aviator, Mazda CX-9, Nissan Pathfinder, Subaru Ascent, Toyota Highlander, Volkswagen Atlas, Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport and Volkswagen ID.4. For EV fans, it's worth noting the ID.4 was the only electric vehicle included in the test. The Buick Enclave and Chevrolet Traverse scraped away with 'acceptable' ratings while the Honda Passport, Honda Pilot, Hyundai Palisade, Jeep Wrangler 4-door, Kia Telluride and Nissan Murano were deemed merely 'marginal' in the tough new test. Only two models — the Mazda CX-9 and Volkswagen ID.4 — earned a "Good" rating in every test category. Interestingly, the Jeep Wrangler would have scored a 'good' rating if it were equipped with side airbags for the rear seating positions. It would likely be an engineering challenge to equip its removable top and/or doors with airbags, but the lack of that safety feature allowed the head of the rear passenger dummy to hit the vertical support of the top. Otherwise, the Wrangler scored good ratings across the board. The new Ford Bronco, which makes more allowances for side-impact safety, has not yet been tested. The popular Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride SUVs stand out in the test with 'poor' ratings for driver pelvis injuries. The Nissan Murano, a vehicle last redesigned for the 2015 model year, was the only vehicle tested that received a 'poor' rating for its structure and safety cage. Videos of the tests of 12 of these 18 SUVs can be found on the IIHS' YouTube page.
