1968 Vw Adventure Camper No Reserve on 2040-cars
Dixon, Missouri, United States

1968 VW Adventure Camper NO RESERVE 1st year of the Bay windows. Adventures are getting rarer and harder to find these days, especially the early ones with the upright type 2 motors. 68 to 71. This camper is gutted, but a good start if your looking for an Adventure. Motor was junk and sitting in the cargo area. I've got it and it goes with the bus, with the normal auction. I also have a complete1600 dual port turn key that I just built for another project. It's been bench tested, and the rings just broken in. 140 plus compression all 4 cylinders, AS41 dual relief case, Alternator, Doghouse cooler. Ready to go that will also go with the bus ONLY with the "Buy it now". If the regular auction plays out, then the core motor goes with it, and whatever parts we can find. Cab floor, and walk thru really dry, cargo floor has a spot on it (see pic). I got the brakes up, and they seem to be fine. FG top is in decent condition but needs to be compounded out some where down the line. Right rear corner will need work, but nothing that can't be done while you drive the bus, and is rough but presentable. It's got plywood closing off the 2 rear flat large windows. I have the glass for them and seals are cheap. It's a good bus to start with and collect an interior, finish up body work etc. for it while you drive it and restore it. It does and will need work but the price reflects that. Front end looks great, tires are decent shape, even the spare. Steering is tight. I've blown out my tendon in my right arm and can no longer work on this bus for the next several months so that is why it's going. NO, I can't install the motor, which means it's not a driver. There is a great VW shop less than 30 miles from my house that just specializes in VW's (mostly air cooled) who can not only install the engine for you, and the glass, bleed the brakes etc. if you want to drive it home. I will get it there for you, but, YOU will negotiate price and pay on pickup. I've also got misc. small camper bits lying around that I will just throw in with the bus. Anyway, regular auction price, you get the core motor. Buy it now, get's the rebuilt 1600 dual port. Check engine prices, it's a good package, motor is turnkey and worth more than half of what I'm asking in the "buy it now" Clear title in my name. AS IS, WHERE IS. Once again, I will get it to B&C VW if you want them to finish the installation, otherwise buyer is responsible for pickup. Also, that little rocket of a bug in the background is going up too. Apparently, surgery is expensive these days. |

2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD is our favorite oil-burning GTI
Tue, 05 Mar 2013
The 2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD has officially bowed at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Engineers managed to squeeze an additional 14 horsepower and 22 pound-feet of torque out of the familiar 2.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engine, nudging total output to 184 hp and 280 lb-ft for 2014. The figures are good enough to earn the GTD the honor of being the most powerful diesel Golf in Volkswagen history. A start/stop system helps improve efficiency over the previous generation with the new model consuming 56 miles per gallon on the EU cycle. That's up from the 2013 model's 46 mpg. A six-speed manual transmission is standard equipment, though a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox is also available.
The GTD also offers buyers a few aesthetic tweaks to help separate the hatch from its less potent siblings. Those include a more aggressive front fascia, special badges and 17-inch alloy wheels. Expect to find the GTD in one of three exterior colors, including Tornado Red, Black and Pure White. Check out the quick press release below for more details.
VW invests in QuantumScape for potentially fireproof, long-range EV batteries
Mon, Dec 8 2014VW might be getting ready to push its plug-in technology in a big way thanks to an investment in the battery startup QuantumScape. Key point: the solid-state battery is said to be fireproof and will offer tremendous range advantages. Details are not abundant yet, but according to Bloomberg, VW of America bought a five-percent stake in QuantumScape (and has an option to raise its holding). The tech could "more than triple" the EV range of VW, Porsche and Audi plug-in vehicles as soon as the middle of 2015, according to unnamed sources that Bloomberg talked to. Former Stanford University researchers started QuantumScape in 2010. The bare-bones QuantumScape website (there's nothing there other than some contact information) doesn't offer many hints about what's happening at the company, but GigaOM's Katie Fehrenbacher notes that QuantumScape is licensing tech from the "All Electron Battery" project at Stanford a few years ago. It certainly sounds amazing: [It's] a completely new class of electrical energy storage devices for electric vehicles that has the potential to provide ultra-high energy and power densities, while enabling extremely high cycle life. The All-Electron Battery stores energy by moving electrons, rather than ions, and uses electron/hole redox instead of capacitive polarization of a double-layer. ... If successful, this project will develop a completely new paradigm in energy storage for electrified vehicles that could revolutionize the electric vehicle industry. If that's what's coming in a future e-Golf or E-Tron, sign us up.
Volkswagen and Funny or Die take humorous spin in 2015 Golf
Wed, 10 Sep 2014Volkswagen is partnering with Target and Funny or Die in a bizarre ad for the latest Golf starring comedian Rob Huebel, probably best known for his work on Childrens Hospital on Adult Swim.
The commercial is titled The Way Too Helpful Neighbor and stars Huebel as the eponymous neighbor. The challenge is for Huebel to help improve his buddy's apartment before the guy meets his girlfriend's parents for the first time. The obvious way to do that is to slide a new Golf through an actual Target in Texas, while simultaneously showcasing the store's goods and the car's features.
The commercial is airing online now and on TBS during breaks in Conan O'Brien's show, with sneak peaks during other programs on the network. Auto advertising is becoming pretty normal for Funny or Die at this point, though, with the site previously partnering with Fiat for several videos. Check out the ad above and see if you think it works. Scroll down for VW's announcement.
