THIS IS AN ORIGINAL CALIFORNIA CAR 1972 VOLKSWAGEN WESTFALIA CAMPMOBILE BUS WITH THE POP TOP CANVAS SLEEPER AND 1700cc ENGINE. HAS 91,XXX MILES. THIS IS THE STRAIGHTEST, MOST RUST-FREE VINTAGE VW I'VE EVER SEEN. I'M NO EXPERT, BUT I'VE LOOKED AT QUITE A FEW. IT RUNS AND DRIVES WELL. VIDEOS AND PICTURES TELL THE STORY, BUT I'LL LIST AS MUCH AS I CAN HERE:

PROS:

MINIMAL SURFACE RUST (SOME "WORSE" SPOTS, BUT THEY ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN).
SUPER STRAIGHT BODY (ONE SPOT AT ENGINE BAY DOOR BOTTOM HAS DAMAGE).
ENGINE, TRANNY AND CLUTCH ARE STRONG.
NEW TIRES.
BRAKES ARE STRONG, NO PULLING.
LIGHTS AND SIGNALS WORK.
WIPERS WORK ON BOTH SPEEDS, BUT SOMETHING DID START SQUEAKING ON AND OFF AFTER TWO HOURS OF USE.
GLASS AND SCREENS ARE ALL GOOD AND WINDOWS ALL WORK.
AFTERMARKET RADIO WITH REMOTE AND SPEAKERS.
SUPER CLEAN INTERIOR.
GREAT POP TOP CANVAS (MINIMAL SMALL HOLES) WITH OEM FOLDING SLEEPER.
SPEEDO AND ODOMETER WORK.
BONUS SOLAR PANEL SYSTEM WITH 120V AND 12V CAPABILITY.
SINK WORKS, NICE ICE BOX.
DOORS ALL WORK WELL. SOME OF THE LOCKS ARE QUITE TIGHT TO TURN, BUT THEY ALL WORK.
COMES WITH TWO KEYS.
ORIGINAL MANUALS INCLUDED.

CONS:

PAINT: MATTE BROWN ON THE BOTTOM WAS SPRAYED ON BY PREVIOUS OWNER. NOT TERRIBLE, BUT NOT GREAT. A CLEAR COAT ON IT WOULD DO WONDERS, BUT A COMPLETE RE-SPRAY WOULD TAKE THIS BUS TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
CHIP COATING APPLIED TO THE FRONT.
COUPLE SMALL CRACKS IN THE DASH.
RUBBER LATCH HANDLE ON THE GLOVE BOX IS TEARING FROM ITS BASE, BUT STILL WORKS.
INTERIOR HANDLE FOR SIDE DOOR HAS BROKEN. NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. DOOR STILL OPENS WITH ATTACHED VISE GRIP PLIERS.
SMALL HOLES IN THE TOP CANVAS.
ENGINE STALLED ON ME A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN COLD. MAY NEED ATTENTION. RUNS DOWN THE ROAD LIKE A CHAMP.
SOME FLUID LEAKS AT ENGINE. NOT SURE FROM WHERE, BUT IS PRETTY MINOR. OIL LEVEL WAS GOOD WHEN I CHECKED IT.
DENT AT REAR BOTTOM OF ENGINE BAY DOOR.

IF I MISSED ANYTHING (I'M SURE I HAVE), PLEASE ASK. WATCH BOTH VIDEOS FIRST. THANKS TO ALL FOR LOOKING!

VW launches special edition Touareg X

Tue, 03 Dec 2013

Volkswagen 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.

Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members.

$1.4B hedge fund suit against Porsche dismissed

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

Investors have canvassed courts in Europe and the US to repeatedly sue Porsche over its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen in 2008 (see here, and here and here), and they have repeatedly failed to win any cases. You can add another big loss to the tally, with Bloomberg reporting that the Stuttgart Regional Court has dismissed a 1.4-billion euro ($1.95B US) lawsuit, the decision explained by the court's assertion that the investors would have lost on their short bets even if Porsche hadn't misled them.
Examining the hedge funds' motives for stock purchases and the bets that VW share prices would fall, judge Carola Wittig said that the funds didn't base their decisions on the key bits of "misinformation," and instead were participating simply in "highly speculative and naked short selling," only to get caught out.
With other cases still pending, the continued streak of victories bodes well for Porsche's courtroom fortunes, since judges will expect new information to consider overturning precedent. If there is any new info, it could come from the potential criminal cases still outstanding against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking and CFO Holger Härter, who were both indicted on charges of market manipulation.
