Your bidding on a 1972 Westfalia Camper bus that was bought NEW exactly 42 years ago Today ! Back on March 17, 1972...... It was bought new at Veale in Santa Rosa by miss Trudy Wohlers..... the 2nd Owner who I bought the bus from mr. John Potter... bought the bus from Trudy on Dec. 7, 1973...... he Paid Trudy $2675, and I have the Cancelled Check !
By the Way... Trudy had paid a whopping $ 4030.45 , I believe she traded in her '64 Datson, which Veale gave her $1150 as a trade in Value. Trudy had ordered the bus with a AM Radio which was $79.95 extra. I have the Original dated 8/71 Owners Manual with Trudys name written inside and I have the Original Pink Slip that John got when he registered the bus for the first time on Jan.25,1974.... he must of got a late fee ! ;-0 Ok, time to talk the about the bus... The bus is a Walkthrough and is very dry, just a few surface rust areas and some pinhole areas on front floor, and a little rust in Passenger corner. Underneath rear floors and Rockers look very nice, Doglegs very nice. Mr Potter told me he had the bus repainted the one time many many years ago, interior looks pretty Original, some speaker holes ad'd above rear cabinet. A few other small ad on's by mr. Potter. Recently while the bus lay dormant in mr. Potters driveway , someone backed into rear driver corner, and Mr. potter had a road rage incident where he chased someone down, and actually rear ended them... those are the only 2 dents on the body. We have spent some hours to get the engine running again and actually drove it around the parking lot...All 4 cylinders are 120-125 psi and we changed all spark plugs and set the timing has best as we could get it . It shifts fine through all gears like it should but the bus will need a Service. We did not touch the brakes or go through electrics, it has been off the road for 7 or 8 years now. Mr. potter and his family were serious campers and they really used this bus allot . They used to camp with 2 adults, 3 childen and a BIG dog..... I don't think they ever cleaned this poor old bus... it really needs a serious CLEANING. I will leave that for the new owner . Driver door panel is off but is in backseat :-) , rear headliner is starting to come down in one spot, needs glue or something to put it back in place. All cushions and interior seem to be Original,including icebox. There are a few box's on engine deck that are misc. spare parts and they go with it. * Forgot to say it does have 2014 Current Calif. Registration Please ask any and all questions prior to bidding, Euro Bidders are not a problem, the Port of Oakland is an Hour away and I do have a shipper . |

Volkswagen Golf Wagon caught completely uncovered
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Without a lot of information to go with them, our camera-toting spies have captured some new images of a Volkswagen Golf wagon variant that is almost completely undisguised. In fact, the one piece of camouflage on the tidy wagon would probably have gone unnoticed to most casual viewers. Look closely at the rear three-quarter view of the car and you'll notice that the apparent taillight clusters are actually fakes - the outline of the real units is faintly visible behind the blue bodywork and the sticker-like fake taillights.
It's a good guess then, that this Golf wagon (called a Golf Kombi by our spy photographer) is a prototype that's pretty far along in the development cycle for Volkswagen. We can't be sure what impact this will have on the company's small wagon offering here in the US, but we'd be pretty surprised if something very like this didn't end up as the next Jetta SportWagen. We might well have more information on that front, after we visit Geneva next week.

VW updates Scirocco with revised styling, new engines
Sun, 16 Feb 2014The Scirocco is undoubtedly one of the better-looking models in the Volkswagen lineup, but introduced back in 2008, it's now been on the market - some markets, anyway - for the better part of six years. VW is said to have an all-new replacement in the works, but before that arrives, the German automaker has announced a facelifted version with revised styling and a new engine lineup.
Set to be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show next month, the new Scirocco benefits from updated styling front and rear, high-tech exterior lighting, a revised cabin space with some throwback retro touches, some new technologies and, of course, an array of fresh wheel options ranging from 17 to 19 inches.
The updated Scirocco will be offered with a wide array of engines right from the get-go, including four gasoline options and two diesels, spanning from 125 horsepower all the way up to the 280-hp Scirocco R. The 2014 model hits European showrooms in August, but unfortunately isn't any more likely to make the transatlantic voyage Stateside than the version it replaces. Still interested? There's plenty to see in the high-res image gallery above and details in the press release below.
