1973 VW Westfalia Campmobile


You are looking at my 1973 VW Bus Camper, air cooled.  We just had a baby so the wife is making me sell it!  We bought this bus in 2011 and have done quite a few things to it.  The engine was completely rebuilt in July of 2011 by a Boise mechanic named Mike Alan, some know him as the best VW mechanic west of the Mississippi.  Since the rebuild we have probably only put 3,000 miles on it so it is still running fantastic.  We also went through and re upholstered the seats as well as put some new curtains in.  The pop top is also only about 2 years old.  This bus is in pretty good condition but it is not completely restored and still has some rough edges.  I want to be completely honest here because I am selling it as is so here is a list of the good and bad about it.

Good
- Rebuilt engine in 2011, about $3200 in receipts for that.  
- 2 year old pop top, great condition.
- Newly upholstered seats.
- New curtains.
- Sink works, it also has a fridge.
- Back seat folds down into a bed.
- Comes with the cot that goes in the pop top but it is not upholstered.
- Comes with a cover.
- Mechanically fantastic.
- Exterior and interior lights work great.
- Very little rust on this vehicle.
- Speedometer, odometer, and thermometer all work.

Bad
- Crack in front windshield.
-  No seat belts in back bench seat (the back facing single seat has seat belts).
- Missing the horn.
- Windshield wiper fluid container not connected (comes with the bus).
- Knob to open glovebox is missing but can still be opened.  
- Heat and A/C not currently functioning.

I will also include a box of bus trinkets if you want them.  This includes some paint, the side table that hooks onto the sink, and some other various spare parts.  This bus is 40 years old and I am not really sure how many owners it has had or where it has been.  But being a bus, you can bet on it having some great stories and some great times ahead of it.  Please let me know if you have any questions about it.

Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki

Tue, 02 Oct 2012

Way back in 2004, Volkswagen took umbrage with Suzuki being granted permission to use the nameplate "SWIFT GTi" for a performance variant of its small-car offering (2012 equivalent seen here). Now, eight years and surely some very steep legal bills later, VW has finally dropped its claim against Suzuki.
The General Court of the European Union stated, back in March of this year, that Suzuki's GTi registration could not be confused with VW's "Golf GTI." Volkswagen had appealed that ruling, though has now reportedly called off the dogs. In fact, Germany's Die Welt reports that the appeal has been dead for several weeks now.
This news comes amongst continued arbitration acrimony between the two automakers, all revolving around VW's forced divestiture of nearly 20-percent stake it purchased in Suzuki some two years ago.

Bentley considering diesel engine for new SUV

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Turns out, in case you didn't know, the rich are just like regular people. They too are concerned about the environment, even when tooling around town in their super-luxurious Bentleys. So the automaker is weighing the idea of offering a diesel engine in its SUV offering, which could help satisfy customers' demands for more fuel-efficient engines.
Chairman and CEO Wolfgang Schreiber told Autoblog in a roundtable interview at the Geneva Auto Show that the automaker is researching whether or not a diesel engine makes sense for the brand. Bentley, owned by the Volkswagen Group, could in theory use a diesel engine from anywhere in the Volkswagen Group family. We at Autoblog have hopes they'll revive the V10 TDI used in the VW Touareg until 2010, but ever-stricter emissions laws would likely make that problematic.
But rich people aren't so much like us that they'll be worried about petty things like pricing. Schreiber admitted the diesel engine could be a $15,000 option, which he said customers would probably find "acceptable." Given that the cheapest Bentley today starts at $177,000, typical customers probably won't be diddling around worrying about an extra 15 grand.
