Your bidding on a 1972 Westfalia Camper bus that was bought NEW exactly 42 years ago Today ! Back on March 17, 1972...... It was bought new at Veale in Santa Rosa by miss Trudy Wohlers..... the 2nd Owner who I bought the bus from mr. John Potter... bought the bus from Trudy on Dec. 7, 1973...... he Paid Trudy $2675, and I have the Cancelled Check !
By the Way... Trudy had paid a whopping $ 4030.45 , I believe she traded in her '64 Datson, which Veale gave her $1150 as a trade in Value. Trudy had ordered the bus with a AM Radio which was $79.95 extra. I have the Original dated 8/71 Owners Manual with Trudys name written inside and I have the Original Pink Slip that John got when he registered the bus for the first time on Jan.25,1974.... he must of got a late fee ! ;-0 Ok, time to talk the about the bus... The bus is a Walkthrough and is very dry, just a few surface rust areas and some pinhole areas on front floor, and a little rust in Passenger corner. Underneath rear floors and Rockers look very nice, Doglegs very nice. Mr Potter told me he had the bus repainted the one time many many years ago, interior looks pretty Original, some speaker holes ad'd above rear cabinet. A few other small ad on's by mr. Potter. Recently while the bus lay dormant in mr. Potters driveway , someone backed into rear driver corner, and Mr. potter had a road rage incident where he chased someone down, and actually rear ended them... those are the only 2 dents on the body. We have spent some hours to get the engine running again and actually drove it around the parking lot...All 4 cylinders are 120-125 psi and we changed all spark plugs and set the timing has best as we could get it . It shifts fine through all gears like it should but the bus will need a Service. We did not touch the brakes or go through electrics, it has been off the road for 7 or 8 years now. Mr. potter and his family were serious campers and they really used this bus allot . They used to camp with 2 adults, 3 childen and a BIG dog..... I don't think they ever cleaned this poor old bus... it really needs a serious CLEANING. I will leave that for the new owner . Driver door panel is off but is in backseat :-) , rear headliner is starting to come down in one spot, needs glue or something to put it back in place. All cushions and interior seem to be Original,including icebox. There are a few box's on engine deck that are misc. spare parts and they go with it. * Forgot to say it does have 2014 Current Calif. Registration Please ask any and all questions prior to bidding, Euro Bidders are not a problem, the Port of Oakland is an Hour away and I do have a shipper . |

The hottest modern sports cars rendered as rally racers
Thu, Jan 14 2016The modern-day World Rally Championship a monumental amount of fun to watch – I should know, as I recently was lucky enough to head to the UK to watch WRC Wales Rally GB – but even the most monstrous of the current WRC cars are based on fairly pedestrian European hatchbacks. Back in the heyday of rally, the Group B era in the 1980s, much hotter cars were the basis of even more incredible competition machines, for the most part. Take the exotic Ford RS200, or the Lancia Delta S4 with its twin-charged engine. And the hatchback-based Group B cars were bonkers, too. So what would some of our favorite modern cars look like if Group B had never ended? A British site named CarWow hired an artist to reimagine everything from the Rolls-Royce Wraith to the Porsche 911 as a retro-inspired rally car, and they were kind enough to let us share the results in the gallery above. The gallery features an Alfa Romeo Giulia in Martini livery, an Audi TT in classic Ur-Quattro colors, a Fiat 500 Abarth sporting massive flares and a hood blister full of auxiliary lights, a new Ford Mustang in RS200 livery, a Lancia Delta in Alitalia colors, a Porsche 911 in Rothmans livery, a Renault-Alpine in classic blue, a Rolls-Royce Wraith tribute to the Jules cologne Corniche Coupe, and a relatively modern-looking VW Touran. So far, the favorite around the office is the incredible Mercedes-Benz S-Class that is an homage to the wonderful 300 SEL 6.8 AMG "Red Pig" that essentially put AMG on the map. Check out the gallery above and see which one you like the best. Related Video:
VW updates Scirocco with revised styling, new engines
Sun, 16 Feb 2014The Scirocco is undoubtedly one of the better-looking models in the Volkswagen lineup, but introduced back in 2008, it's now been on the market - some markets, anyway - for the better part of six years. VW is said to have an all-new replacement in the works, but before that arrives, the German automaker has announced a facelifted version with revised styling and a new engine lineup.
Set to be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show next month, the new Scirocco benefits from updated styling front and rear, high-tech exterior lighting, a revised cabin space with some throwback retro touches, some new technologies and, of course, an array of fresh wheel options ranging from 17 to 19 inches.
The updated Scirocco will be offered with a wide array of engines right from the get-go, including four gasoline options and two diesels, spanning from 125 horsepower all the way up to the 280-hp Scirocco R. The 2014 model hits European showrooms in August, but unfortunately isn't any more likely to make the transatlantic voyage Stateside than the version it replaces. Still interested? There's plenty to see in the high-res image gallery above and details in the press release below.
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.
