Today we are offering for your consideration on this 1971 Volkswagen Bus Vanagon Westfalia Camper. Let's let the pictures do the talking on this CLASSIC BUS. This van is 42 years old and look brand new! I bought this camper about 9 years ago. It was purchased in Germany by a Navy Sailor. He used it there and then in Japan while serving. He then had it shipped back to the Texas area to use. I have used it on summer nice days and an occasional shore trip. So great to have the top up, under the stars, with the pines in the summer wind. It runs like a top and had it up to 70 or 75 in the highway. The body has NO noticeable scratches or dings/dents. I am very fussy. The paint is somewhat original but some panels have been professionally done. NO BONDO and the color matches perfect. The tires are very good and new shocks. Starts up every time and runs smooth. Chrome is nice too. The top camper was replaced at some time before I bought it. All interior is excellent with no cuts, marks, or damage either. Floor is original and also no messed with like many I have seen. I have to say the van is very mint and original. YOU WILL NOT FIND A CLEANER 1971 WESTFALIA on Ebay. I paid $20,000 grand for it years ago. OK, it dose have an aftermarket Alpine am/fm CD player with 2 speakers mounted flush in wood headliner. All interior door cabinets are fine. Closet door has mirror on back from factory. Van comes with the original tool kit under passenger seat. It also has the hammock that opens when top is up, (we called the condo), and fold out baby cloth hammock that goes from inside windshield to back of seat area. We never used either of these hammocks. I don't think you will find any surprises and I want to state full disclosure. Here's the only things we could find that need minor attention. When going over a big bump the front springs make a type of slight noise. Like they need to be greased. I had fitting greased and still heard the noise. This only happens when it's a large bump. I lived with it because it was minor, has been there all the time I owned it, and no mechanic could fine anything wrong. In fact I had the van fully check just last summer before a 2 day outing and she's fine. Very dependable. One back curtain hold back needs to be replace. The door under sink stop plastic needs to be replace. Sink pump is all there but doesn't work. These are minor things but I am stating all I know. This van has been a lot of fun and only costed me $235 a year to insure for 20 grand replacement value. Also classic registration plates with no fee. This baby, with just a little TLC is almost a show car and will turn every head. People love that VW horn. I hope the buyer has as much fun as we have had with it. Title is clear and I have it. Buyer takes full responsibility to ship transport. If you are a local buyer just email. If you have to ship I will work with your shipper to help it go smooth. We are a guitar shop and this VW looked great in the driveway. Everyone stop just to look. Included is a full new type cover and tent off of sliding door I think factory.

Volkswagen Cross Up! headed for production after Geneva reveal

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

The last time we saw the Volkswagen Cross Up!, it was sitting out in the snow in prototype form, but the next time we'll see this slightly more rugged version of the diminutive Up! hatchback will be when it makes its production debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month. Looking like a micro-crossover with its raised ground clearance and black cladding, the Cross Up! will be the fourth "Cross" model for VW (after the CrossPolo, CrossGolf and CrossTouran) when it goes on sale this summer in mainland Europe (UK sales remain up in the air and US sales are highly unlikely).
Overall, the styling of the production Cross Up! has stayed fairly true to the 2011 concept car, including the front and rear fascias that offer a more rugged look, stocky 16-inch wheels and roof rack side rails. Inside, this model will get unique interior enhancements such as "Cross Up!" sill plates and an instrument panel available in red, black or silver. Like the regular Up!, the Cross Up! is powered by a 74-horsepower, 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine paired to a five-speed manual transmission, and it doesn't look like all-wheel drive will be part of the picture. For more details on the upcoming Cross Up!, check out VW's press release posted below.

Volkswagen Routan dead, pour out a sippy cup for your little homies

Thu, 28 Mar 2013

America's minivan wolfpack has just gotten smaller by one. According to Automotive News, Volkswagen officials have confirmed what we've suspected for some time - the Routan is dead. Essentially a lightly reworked version of the Dodge Grand Caravan, the Routan actually hasn't been rolling off of Chrysler's Windsor, Ontario production line at all this year, but VW had yet to confirm its discontinuation. However, Jonathan Browning, CEO of VW America, has reportedly admitted that the Routan is being axed, with remaining units expected to be funneled into corporate functions for "internal purposes."
The move isn't unexpected - the Routan has never been a big seller, with just 57,650 examples moved since sales began in 2008 - peak yearly sales totaled under 16,000 units, and that was back in 2010. And while many have talked of the minivan segment shrinking, Automotive News points out that the segment actually grew 14 percent last year to 597,118 units, though it should be noted that most segments have been on sales upticks as the US economy chugs out of its recession.
So, is volume-crazy Volkswagen prepared to pass on large family vehicle sales? Probably not - the German automaker has signaled that it plans to build a three-row crossover in North America soon, and we wouldn't be surprised if it looks an awful lot like the Crossblue Concept from January's Detroit Auto Show - minus the fancy plug-in diesel powertrain.

Former Porsche boss Wiedeking won't face criminal charges over VW bid

Mon, 28 Apr 2014

Hedge fund managers have been suing Porsche for years now, alleging that the car company lied about its intentions during its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen, a gambit that caused them billion in losses. Over the same period, authorities in Stuttgart built a criminal case against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above, left) and Chief Financial Officer Holger Härter (right), filing charges in December 2012. When those fund plaintiffs lost their most recent court case, one of the dimming lights in the dark and receding tunnel was that the criminal investigation might unearth more evidence about Porsche's actions that could help the plaintiffs in pending litigation.
Bloomberg reports that another light has gone out, though, with a Stuttgart court dismissing the market manipulation case before going to trial because, as a court spokesperson said, "there wasn't enough evidence backing up the charges." When prosecutors get the files back from the court, they have a week to decide to refile, but unless they've been sandbagging evidence that could bolster the case, the only lights at the end of the tunnel will be those welcoming Wiedeking and Härter back to the world of legally unencumbered men.
