After much thought, I have decided to list my 1965 VW Bus for sale.  It turns heads everywhere and brings lots of attention.  It is affectionately known as "Surf Patrol".  Born in Hawaii, I have restored this with an island theme even with two murals on the underside.  I love the islands and can imagine this bus as the perfect vehicle to drive around and check out beaches.  I will constantly try to update the listing as often as I think of more to add but I am not under any pressure to sell.  I did not make it to the last 3 shows that I wanted to attend which are part of the reason I am listing the bus.  I think that even though I love this bus, there might be someone out there that will love it the same and have more time to take it out.  With my oldest in high school sports and my youngest in middle school sports, time is hard to come buy and I love going to their games.  There are some little things here and there that still need attention, but it is a great bus. This bus is stored 100% of the time in my locked garage.  I also will include the car cover.  

Some of the features are as follows:  2387 cc Bergmann engine-hydraulic valves (don't need adjustment), dual empi carbs, remote oil cooler, braided oil lines,-dyno'd at 166hp, A-1 sidewinder exhaust (ceramic coated), 1.5qt additional oil sump, breather box, ragtop, modified roof rack to fit in the garage, custom gauge panel in dash, chrome 5 spoke empi wheels, Rancho Performance pro street transmission powdercoated in mercedes silver, new gas tank, headlights, turn signals, Banjo steering wheel,  restored middle seat, (previous owner didn't have the middle seat, they had a table) seat belts throughout, new rear end, dual master cylinder, safari front windows and side pop out windows, custom interior carpeting, interior panels and drapes.  I do have receipts for nearly everything since I have owned the bus.  I do have the stock wheels that match the bus though they need some attention.  I also have the original rear drums and lots of other vw stuff that I will package up and send with the bus.  (oil change gaskets, misc gaskets, misc parts, etc)    I do reserve the right to end this auction early as it is for sale locally as well.  I will not be disclosing the reserve price either, so don't both asking. I will relist if it doesn't sell and will be adding to the listing as necessary, either pics or descriptions.  In the event of a sale, I will hold title until payment is made in full.  If payment is not received within 7 days, I will re-list the bus.

Volkswagen offers Beetle Classic, priced from $20,195*

Tue, 23 Sep 2014

The current Volkswagen Beetle already tries to be a fairly retro-looking ride by cribbing styling elements from the iconic original. However, for the new, limited-edition Classic model, VW is hopping into the time machine to grab even more vintage cues. The company is even cutting the price, perhaps in hopes of turning around flagging sales this year. You don't need to wait long for any of these upgrades either because the automaker says that the Classic goes on sale this week for $20,195, *excluding the $820 destination charge. That's $100 less than a bone-stock Beetle.
Starting as a standard Beetle with VW's 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 170 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, the Classic edition comes with a six-speed automatic and then adds some retro flair. It includes new vintage-look 17-inch wheels with simulated dog dish polished hubcaps over black spokes. It also comes with a rear spoiler, and the automaker is offering the model in Pure White, Black Uni, and Reflex Silver.
The interior mixes in a few more classic touches but includes modern amenities like a standard navigation system, satellite radio and multifunction steering wheel. However, the seats are finished in a two-tone design combining light brown leatherette on the sides and checked cloth centers, plus lumbar support for the driver's side. The shift knob and handbrake also get wrapped in leather.

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.

Audi buys Ballard fuel cell patents for $80 million

Wed, Feb 11 2015

While some auto companies (e.g., Toyota and Hyundai) are giving away some hydrogen fuel cell patents, others are paying a pretty penny to gain access to the H2 tech. Audi announced today that it has purchased a suite of fuel-cell patent from Ballard Power Systems. The deal between Volkswagen Group and the Canadian fuel cell pioneer is worth over $80 million US. Unsurprisingly, the value of Ballard's stock shot up about a dollar (to $2.61 as of this writing) on the announcement. VW and Ballard will also extend their development agreement, originally scheduled to end in 2017, to March 2019, and possibly another two years after that. Thus far, the deal – which revolves around the "design and manufacture of next-generation fuel cell stacks" for VW's H2 demonstration program – and Ballard says it is a leader in "critical areas of fuel cell product design – including the membrane electrode assembly (MEA), plate and stack components – along with certain testing and integration work." At the LA Auto Show last fall, VW showed off a Golf SportWagen and a Passat with a hydrogen hybrid HyMotion powertrain as well as a Audi A7 Sportback H-Tron Quattro. Audi buys fuel-cell patents from Ballard Power Systems Development agreement with Ballard extended until 2019 Audi's Head of Development Prof. Hackenberg: "The entire VW Group will use these patents." Ingolstadt/Burnaby, February 11, 2015 – AUDI AG has acquired a package of patents relating to fuel-cell technology from Ballard Power Systems Inc. In addition, the Volkswagen Group has extended its cooperation with the Canadian clean energy company until 2019. The purchase of these patents will provide new impetus for the development of fuel-cell drive systems at Audi, VW and the Volkswagen Group. As explained by Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, Member of the Board of Management for Technical Development at AUDI AG and responsible for the steering of the development departments of all brands in the VW Group: "Audi is acquiring these strategically important patents for the entire group and will make them available to all the brands. In this way, we are securing crucial expertise that will provide new impetus for the further development of this technology." Ballard Power Systems Inc. is based in Burnaby, Canada, and is one of the world's leading companies in the technology of proton exchange membrane fuel cells.
