1969 Vw Westfalia Pop Top, Montana Red on 2040-cars
Scotts Valley, California, United States
|
1969 Volkswagen Westfalia bus, walk thru, small pop top. The bus has all the original Westfalia interior which is in great condition. It is missing the ice box/ sink. The Z-bed, jump seat and rear cushions have all new foam and were professionally reupholstered in very soft black "pleather." They look terrific and have no rips or flaws. The cargo floor area has no rust and was covered in bamboo flooring. The bus has aftermarket curtains that are very heavy fabric, made for this bus so they fit excellent, and have a great pattern that ties into the colors of the bus. The front seats were recovered with TMI covers and are also in excellent shape with no rips or flaws. The front floors are solid with no rust through whatsoever. The bus has a Pioneer CD/ MP3 player with four JL Audio speakers. The bus has new 205/75/14 tires all around and the factory rims were repainted factory white. New spare tire cover as well. The bus was just repainted the original Volkswagen Montana Red PPG urethane paint on the exterior. There is no rust on the bus and it has never been in a collision. The interior is still the original paint. The bus was originally all red, but is had been painted two tone at some point in it's life. So I had the upper half repainted with VW white, when they painted the Montana Red. The pop top was also painted at that time. The red with the white really stands out. The pop top has a new rubber seal. All of the doors and rear hatch/ engine lid has new rubber. The front and rear window also has new rubber. The bus has new lenses and rubber around the lenses. The pop top canvas is in excellent condition. There is a dime sized tear in the canvas and the front screen has a rip. However, the screen covers are perfect. The motor is a 1835cc with dual 44mm Brosol/ Solex carbs and has a header with single quiet pack muffler. It was just tuned by a VW shop in Santa Cruz. All of the cylinders have compression over 100. The mileage for the bus shows 75,000, but it is unknown what the true mileage is. The motor was in the bus when I bought it and the previous owner told me it had about 6000 miles on it. I have put less than 500 miles on it since I have had it. Transmission shifts very well and it does not pop out of any gears. It still has the factory reduction boxes. The bus is currently registered and I have a clear California title in my name. The bus is in great condition overall and is ready for the summer! I mostly drive it to the beach on weekends and campout once in awhile and it always gets tons of attention! |

2015 VW Golf R caught getting a flogging on 'Ring
Wed, 22 May 2013The upcoming version of the Volkswagen Golf R is nearly ready for prime time, if this video of the car flying around the Nürburgring is any indication. The all-wheel-drive R seems to make quick, neat work of the corners we see here, and sounds pretty devilish in the process.
Expectations are that the new Golf R will run a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (what else?), tuned to produce even more than the current car's 256 horsepower. (Some sources have indicated outputs as high as 286 horsepower, with 280 pound-feet of torque. It's still not clear if Volkswagen will bring the six-speed dual-clutch transmission to the US-spec Golf R in this next go-round or if we'll stick to having only... eh... the stick.
In either case - watching the video below will only whet your appetite for the new, highest performing member of the Golf family.
Volkswagen hatches hotter GTI in Geneva
Tue, 05 Mar 2013The all-new seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't even launched here in the United States, but over in Geneva, we're already getting our first glimpse at the hotter GTI hatchback. The fancy new Mk VII Golf is already off to a healthy start with positive reviews in Europe, and we have no doubt that this next GTI will work hard to regain its title as king of the hot hatches.
The big news for this generation of GTI is that for the first time ever, Volkswagen is actually offering two different power grades for the model, both relying on the 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four. Standard cars pack 220 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, but an optional performance pack ups the horsepower number to 230. Hitting 60 miles per hour takes 6.5 seconds (6.4 with the performance pack) and top speed is quoted at 153 mph (or 155 with the performance kit). Volkswagen will continue to offer the GTI with both six-speed manual and dual-clutch transmissions.
On the visual front, the sub-3,000-pound GTI adds the usual bit of hot hatch aggression over the standard Golf, and those changes carry over to the interior with a flat-bottomed wheel and, of course, plaid seats. She's certainly a looker, and while some of us do find the new Golf's design to be a bit staid and evolutionary, the enhancements for the GTI indeed tug on our enthusiast heart strings.
VW confirms new TDI for second half of 2014 in Golf, Jetta, Passat and Beetle
Tue, 18 Mar 2014Diesel lovers rejoice. Volkswagen is bringing the latest iteration of its 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel engine - dubbed the EA288 - to the 2015 model year Golf, Jetta, Passat, Beetle (2013 model pictured above) and Beetle Convertible, and the cars will be on sale in the second half of 2014.
While it shares its moniker with the old diesel, the new engine produces 150 horsepower, a 10-hp boost, and 236 pound-feet of torque. VW promises improved fuel economy as well, but it hasn't announced specifically what amount yet. The company claims that despite the same displacement, only the bore spacing is shared with the previous version. The mill includes new features like exhaust gas recirculation, an intercooler integrated into the intake manifold and low-friction camshaft bearings.
VW Group of America has had great success with diesels in the US recently. Vee-Dub and Audi sold 105,899 diesel-equipped models in 2013. It was the first time the group ever sold over 100,000 diesels in a year, and they accounted for 24 percent of sales. Scroll down to read the full press release about the announcement.
