This Westy is in good shape with clear title and doesn't need much to hit the camp sites. Body is straight with newer paint that looks good. Was a Florida and North Carolina Westy. Engine has new seals and runs great with great power! Oil and transaxle fluid has been changed. The Weber carb conversion is a big upgrade, the old primitive fuel injection computers were notorious for quitting on you, the simpler the better basically. Carb could use a rebuild, I have to feather the gas when I drive it around the block, also gas pedal linkage could use some attention, it comes off the back of the pedal sometimes and seems loose. Has electric fuel pump with manual cutoff switch. 4-speed manual transmission has all the gears, linkage is squeaky and a little stiff but gets better each time I drive it. Clutch is good. Brakes work but pedal travel is low. Not sure about emergency brake. Brand new OEM ($400) tent for the pop up top comes with (see pic), current one has holes, and roof seals have been replaced, no water gets in. The appliances are all there and are clean, never tried to put propane or water in it, but was told they work, can't guarantee. Heater hoses are disconnected from heat exchangers and the controls are back in the dash like some one was about to remove them. Interior and dash is the original and not all torn and cracked but is a little worn and faded. Seats pivot properly. Window tint is getting old and faded and looks like someone started to remove it from the drivers window. Tires have been replaced and are very good quality. No stereo but has a cut-out for a modern one along with 6x9 speaker cut-outs under the rear bench and 5.25 cutouts in the doors. All glass is good. Battery is tired, it dies after a couple days of being charged, I usually put my truck battery in it if I'm driving it around my neighborhood or messing with it. I have most of the electric working
Please feel free to ask any questions you have. I have described this the best I can and have not owned this long but would be glad to go look at something specific for you and take a picture. If you would like to talk on the phone, send me a message and I'll send you my number. Vehicle sold as-is with no implied warranty, buyer is responsible for arranging shipping. This is basically an easy and even drivable project depending on how nice you want to make it. Body, Interior and engine are better than most Westy's you see!!!
I noticed on the last trip around the block that the odometer isn't working so mileage is unknown, I also noticed that the history report shows 166,000 in 1994, so I don't know if the odometer was reset after an engine install, or if the gauge cluster was replaced (most likely scenario) or if it stopped working a while ago and that was an estimate. Needless to say mileage is unknown.

Car Club USA: CleanMPG Northwest Rally
Tue, May 19 2015Car Club USA heads to Los Angeles for the CleanMPG Northwest Rally, where a group of like-minded hypermiling enthusiasts led by Wayne Gerdes attempts to drive from Los Angeles, CA, to Bend, OR, on one tank of fuel. For this challenge, Wayne tapped some of the most accomplished hypermilers in the world, including Guinness World Record holder Bob Winger and Mike Sefton, "the most fuel efficient driver in all of Canada." It doesn't take long for the competition to get heated. "They're not aggressive enough, and it's not going to save them anything by being soft right now," says Gerdes as the group attempts to navigate the Interstate traffic. "Driving in Los Angeles is a hyper miler's nightmare," says Winger. The trip will challenge both car and driver, while putting the latest fuel-efficient tech to the test. Wayne is piloting the Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen TDI, Sefton drives the Audi A3 TDI, and Winger attempts the trek in a Honda Accord Hybrid. It's diesel versus hybrid tech on this fuel-efficient trip of a lifetime. Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures. From Main Street cruises to off-road trails, catch all the latest car club activity on Autoblog.

Volkswagen offers Beetle Classic, priced from $20,195*
Tue, 23 Sep 2014The current Volkswagen Beetle already tries to be a fairly retro-looking ride by cribbing styling elements from the iconic original. However, for the new, limited-edition Classic model, VW is hopping into the time machine to grab even more vintage cues. The company is even cutting the price, perhaps in hopes of turning around flagging sales this year. You don't need to wait long for any of these upgrades either because the automaker says that the Classic goes on sale this week for $20,195, *excluding the $820 destination charge. That's $100 less than a bone-stock Beetle.
Starting as a standard Beetle with VW's 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 170 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, the Classic edition comes with a six-speed automatic and then adds some retro flair. It includes new vintage-look 17-inch wheels with simulated dog dish polished hubcaps over black spokes. It also comes with a rear spoiler, and the automaker is offering the model in Pure White, Black Uni, and Reflex Silver.
The interior mixes in a few more classic touches but includes modern amenities like a standard navigation system, satellite radio and multifunction steering wheel. However, the seats are finished in a two-tone design combining light brown leatherette on the sides and checked cloth centers, plus lumbar support for the driver's side. The shift knob and handbrake also get wrapped in leather.
