Hardtop Tranporter


Just off an extensive 3 year cosmetic and mechanical restoration, this bus is resplendent!

Finished in it's original colors of sealing wax and beige grey it evokes thoughts of yesteryear.
Yet with a completly updated drive train, suspension and braking system it brings it up to more modern driving standards. Making for a much safer and more comfortable cruising experience.

Combine that with the one off, full blown, custom hippie inspired interior, replete with top of the line materials and high end audio and video systems and you have one sensational piece of vintage rolling art

Starting off with a very solid two owner chassis originally from california and with a clean title, this bus was stripped down to its bare metal bones and found to have very little accident damage and mostly rust free. The original floors and belly pans are in excellent condition. Outriggers, jack points, doglegs, chassis are all rust free and solid. 

The exterior was sprayed using a ppg base coat clear paint system, including the engine compartment and wheel wells, in the original sealing wax color. All of which was then color sanded and buffed out to give it an amazing shine and depth.
 The interior was sprayed in 
the original beige grey throughout and is impeccable.
The undercarriage is finished off 
in grey epoxy. 
Wolgang stainless steel safari windows were added front and back. 
Most of the hard to find original trim was either rechromed or polished ensuring a much better fit and finish than aftermarket pieces. Add to this all the original side and cab glass was kept and new rubber seals throughout, to include all the doors as well.
Topping off the exterior,literally, is a custom made 5 bow roof rack with beautifully finished wood slats.

The interior really must be experienced to fully appreciate the melding of such uncommon things as sewn coffee sacks which make up the headliner, or old barn wood repurposed for the flooring in the rear compartment. An Indian Kantha quilt was used to create the side curtains, while you have serape blanket and faux giraffe inspired coverings on the rear L shaped seat that doubles as a pull out full size bed!
The doors, interior walls and toe kick are covered in an embossed paisley leatherette.

The high end entertainment
system is comprised of an alpine head unit incorporating blue tooth and pandora. A 13 inch drop down monitor, dual arc audio amps, 6 focal speakers and 2 image dynamics subwoofers come together for an impressive audio/visual experience.

The chassis and drivetrain was treated to the same level of enthusiasm as the rest of this magnificent creation. Starting in the front with a cb performance 4 inch narrowed and adjustable beam including drop spindles and disc brakes. New tie rods, bushings steering dampener, shocks, hoses, master cylinder, etc.
Moving to the rear there is a type 1 transmission with a butcher shop straight axle kit with clearance spring plates. 
This bus will easily cruise beyond 80 mph with the help of the german cased dual carbed 1776 motor.
Professionally assembled with all new parts including crank, cam, oil pump, pistons and cylinders, lifters, bearings, etc. finished off with powder coated engine tins.
The electrical system has been brought up to modern 12 volt standards, including a new wiring works harness, 12v alternator, battery and full 12v lighting.

With it's incredible lowered stance and freshness of restoration
This transporter is ready to carry it's new owners away

VW Golf R pre-order sells out in less than 11 hours

Fri, Jan 9 2015

Volkswagen fans had to be pretty quick if they wanted to ensure their pre-order for one of the first 500 units of the 2015 Golf R to enter the US. The German brand opened the books online at at 12:01 AM EST, and according to company spokesperson Leigh Anne Sessions speaking to Autoblog, by around 10:30 AM EST all of them were snapped up. VW's pre-order page currently shows these vehicles as no longer available, and the company confirms the news on Twitter, as well. There's still a chance to get an early Golf R by signing up for the waiting list and hoping one of the 500 orders falls through. VW Customer Care will contact people if there's an opening. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. This entire allotment of the Golf R comes in Lapiz Blue Metallic paint with VW's adaptive damper system, navigation, a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox and more. To further sweeten the pot, the company is also giving these folks a watch, key chain and certificate with their vehicle's VIN. The 500 models were priced at $39,090, plus $820 destination and delivery, but only $500 was required to reserve one online. The amount was refundable if a person backed out.

VW recalls 25k Jettas over low-beam headlight issue

Wed, Dec 31 2014

Volkswagen has discovered an issue with the headlamps on its latest Jetta and is issuing a recall notice in conjunction with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to correct the issue. The problem revolves around the headlight control module, which has been found in certain instances to switch off the low-beam headlights when the high beams are turned on. Needless to say, that could result in insufficient illumination in the dark, so VW is moving to update the module's software. The issue only affects the new 2015 Jetta – specifically those manufactured between July 11, 2014 (which just happens to be this writer's birthday, thank you very much) and November 13, 2014. All in all, the Volkswagen Group of America estimates that encompasses 25,007 units in the United States, the owners of which can expect to hear from their dealers in the new year. RECALL Subject : Insufficient Headlight Output Report Receipt Date: DEC 15, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V790000 Component(s): EXTERIOR LIGHTING Potential Number of Units Affected: 25,007 All Products Associated with this Recall close VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 2015 Manufacturer: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. SUMMARY: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2015 Jetta vehicles manufactured July 11, 2014, to November 13, 2014. Due to incorrect software within the headlight control module, the low beam headlights may turn off when high beam lights are turned on. As a result, the light output from the headlights may be insufficient. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108. "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment." CONSEQUENCE: Insufficient headlight output may increase the risk of a crash. REMEDY: Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will update the headlight control module software, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in January 2015. Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 57F6. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Meet ZelectricBug, the amazing '63 VW Bug converted to EV power

Thu, Feb 27 2014

No word a lie, we here at AutoblogGreen are fans of classic cars. What we are not fond of, however, is the pollution that their inefficient engines create, and so it's great to see our old favorites lovingly up-cycled with electric drivetrains. The ZelectricBug is a beautiful example of how new, cleaner life can be breathed into an old Volkswagen Beetle. Now, we first came across this particular automobile during the Refuel event last summer and we were struck by its cleanly done conversion then. Aside from a few snaps in our gallery, though, we didn't give it the kind of attention it deserves. Fortunately, the good folks over at Roads and Rides have rectified this by turning their pro video camera skills onto the 1963 V-Dub and producing a nice little segment to accompany their write up. Scroll below to see the finished footage and head over to their website for some stills. If all this gives you a hankering for your own Zelectric, the company does have plans to sell to the public starting this summer. If you don't want to wait, EV West, the guys who did the drivetrain work on this car, have conversion kits available for Beetles, as well as a number of other vehicles.
