1977 VW Westfalia
Runs and Drives Excellent
This Westy was part of an estate and has been stored in a heated warehouse since 1996. It is clean and virtually rust free. The odometer shows 56,504 miles. The engine was overhauled to the tune of $3000.00 at 56,479 miles in 1996 (have receipt) so the engine has about 25 miles on it.
I had it towed to a reputable VW mechanic shop and had them go through the bus and get it running. They drained the gas, replaced the fuel pump and filter, cleaned injectors, new plugs, inspected brakes, put new bushing in the shift linkage and installed correct 185R14 light truck tires. A good spare tire was bolted to the front and a new battery installed. The owner of the shop said the bus is clean enough that the mileage could be 56k, not 156k. He was very impressed with how rust free the body and undercarriage was. Mechanically the bus is in great shape.
It is also equipped with a DPD air conditioning unit. Although it is not currently working all of the components are there from the compressor to the under dash unit.
The body is in good shape except for a dent in the drivers front. The under side of the bus is excellent with no rust. Floors are excellent. Of course it needs paint, but looks presentable the way it is. One of the slat windows is missing from the sliding door. Looks like a little bit of body work was done on the rear 1/4, but it looks good and is difficult to detect. All of the doors open and close great and the slider works the way it should.
The interior is in good shape and very original. Seats are great except for a small tear in the drivers. Beds are good and the original kids cot is included. All of the original curtains are there including the one that goes around the inside of the windshield for privacy at the campground. Cabinets need some restoration and the original table is missing. All of the gauges work to include fuel gauge. Radio is missing. Has the sink, ice box, and inverter.
The canvas top is the original unit and is in good condition but has some pin holes in the front.
Overall this is a good driver and an excellent candidate for restoration.
Call 719-557-1755 anytime with questions. If you need to see something not covered in the auction photos call and I can text or email what you need.
Unless other arrangements are made through me a $500.00 deposit is due within 24hrs of auction close and I would like full payment within 48hrs.
Thanks!

Audi CVT suit settlement given green light, 64,000 cars covered
Mon, 07 Oct 2013Audi drivers, listen up. If you bought or leased a 2002-06 model-year A4 or A6 with a factory-installed Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) that failed, you may be entitled to reimbursement under a recently settled class-action lawsuit with corporate parent Volkswagen.
According to Automotive News, the settlement covers about 64,000 vehicles and alleges that "manufacturing and design problems caused the transmissions to fail and left owners stuck with repair costs." While the suit also argues Audi was aware of these issues (going so far as to hide that knowledge from consumers), the settlement stops short of acknowledging any wrongdoing by the German automaker.
Audi drivers are eligible for a cash reimbursement if their CVT repairs occurred within 10 years or 100,000 miles of the date they bought or leased the vehicle before June 19, 2013. To be eligible for compensation, drivers must submit a claim form (found here) with supporting documents by November 18.
IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
VW launches special edition Touareg X
Tue, 03 Dec 2013Volkswagen is no stranger to special editions, but its Touareg SUV has remained largely unspecial in terms of exclusive trims or unique packages. That's changed with the announcement of the Touareg X, a 1,000-unit run based on the V6 TDI Lux trim - mid-range diesel model, between the navigation-equipped TDI Sport and the TDI R-Line.
The already special Touareg gets 19-inch "Moab" wheels, LED taillights (to go along with its LED DRLs) and "Touareg X" badging, while all 1,000 units will be painted Moonlight Blue Pearl. Tweaks in the cabin are equally light, with a black-on-black-on-black color scheme dominating - black Vienna leather, a black headliner and piano black trim. Aluminum bits make an appearance in the form of the door sills and pedals, although that's about it.
Other than those few aesthetic tweaks, the Touareg X is equipped largely like the Touareg Lux on which it's based. That means navigation, a panoramic sunroof, power seats, LED running lights, dual-zone air conditioning and heated power seats, among other tech pieces. Pricing starts at $56,170, making for a slight bump of $1,195 over the standard Touareg Lux.
