1968 Vw Bus With Sundial Conversion on 2040-cars
Lake Havasu City, Arizona, United States
|
A Factory Original Sundial! Almost everything on this vehicle is from the factory or Sundial. All of the interior, paint, windows, trim, engine, transmission and even the spare tire is original. This bus has only had two owners and stored in a garage for its entirety. This beauty has been meticulously maintained over its lifetime and now it is time to pass it on to someone who can continue to do the same. I have most maintenance records from the first oil change to the original owner's manual and dealership brochures.
EXTERIOR: There is some body damage that was done years ago. The sliding door was backed into in New Mexico in 1978, I believe. There is a "kink" in the door but it still slides, latches and seals. The left rear quarter panel hit a trash can in Washington in the late 80's. The repair that was done is fine but they had a hard time matching the paint. The brakes, shocks and bearings will need to be done soon but are still in drivable condition. I just installed brand new tires, spark plugs and performed an oil change. The body is rust free. All of the door locks work and are keyed the same as the ignition. The lights, seals and windshield wipers are in excellent condition. And the glass is in great shape and, I believe, factory original. INTERIOR: There are a few flaws in the interior. There is a small 1/2" tear in the headliner and the "vinyl" on the firewall is starting to de-lam. Other than that, the interior is perfect. The dash is rot free with fully working controls, the wood in the camper is in good shape and the floor has been covered since the early 70's. The pump for the sink works. I even have the factory jack! All of the decals that came from the factory are still in place. This 46 year old VW that has less than 100,000 miles on it and has been to every state in the continental U.S. except two! On Apr-29-14 at 08:54:49 PDT, seller added the following information: Addendum 4/29/14 - Upon closer inspection, there is a slight gap in the upper left corner of the sliding door when closed. It does fully close and latch, but is not completely sealed. There is also an oil drip, but no major leaks. The carburetor was just rebuilt and the bus has its original oil-bath aircleaner. |

Volkswagen Tiguan and Touareg take the R-Line
Mon, 14 Jan 2013
Volkswagen's Detroit Auto Show presence is big on utility this year, with the CrossBlue three-row concept vehicle occupying the lion's share of the limelight, both literally and figuratively. But that isn't stopping Volkswagen from lavishing attention on its already established crossover and sport utility vehicles with new R-Line derivatives. The Tiguan and its big brother Touareg are getting a host of look-faster items to increase their sporting appeal.
On the outside, the Tiguan R-Line receives handsome 19-inch alloys peering out from beneath fender extensions, premium lighting (bi-Xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lamps), along with matching side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. On the inside, sportier accommodations include aluminum trim and a flat-bottom steering wheel with paddle shifters. As with other R-Line models, there are no powertrain modifications to go with the more aggressive visuals (that being the province of R standalone performance models like the R32), though the suspension has been firmed up an unspecified amount. The Tiguan R-Line will be available in front- or all-wheel drive configuration.
VW Jetta TDI Value Edition drops price of diesel ownership to $21,295*
Wed, 08 Jan 2014Getting a new diesel-powered car just got a bit easier. Volkswagen has announced a new Jetta TDI Value Edition for 2014 that trims over $2,000 off the starting price of a Jetta TDI, making the most affordable diesel-powered car in America even more so. Prices start at $21,295 (*plus $820 for destination) for a Value Edition with a six-speed manual transmission, while a six-speed dual-clutch automatic adds $1,100 to the price. For that money, owners will get 140 horsepower, 236 pound-feet of torque and 42 miles per gallon on the freeway.
Despite the lower price and being down on content versus the previous base Jetta TDI, the Value Edition does come quite well equipped, with standard heated cloth seats, a six-speaker stereo with a Media Device Interface, satellite radio, and one-touch, up-down power windows on all four doors. Customers will be giving up some notable stuff though, including tilt/telescopic steering, Bluetooth streaming audio, power seats and a multi-function steering wheel.
Still, if you're aching to get your hands on a new TDI, this is now the most affordable way to do it. We suspect having the lower MSRP will help the German manufacturer make even further diesel-powered inroads here in the States, a land where they cleared their decks of over 100,000 TDI models in 2013.
Bentley Bentayga bodies to be built in Bratislava
Sun, Apr 12 2015Volkswagen's plant in Bratislava, Slovakia, has come a long way. After getting its start in 1971 by subcontracting the production of Skoda-branded vehicles, the plant was purchased by VW in 1991, where it was quickly put to further good use as it began producing Volkswagen Passat models for export. More recently, Bratislava has become a bastion for SUVs, assembling the Audi Q7 and Porsche Cayenne, in addition to the VW Touareg. Color us unsurprised, then, to learn that the Bentley Bentayga, which will be built atop the same large SUV platform as its cousins from Audi, Porsche and VW, will also be used for at least part of the production of Bentley's first SUV. Surely, though, one of the hallmarks of the Bentley brand is that its cars are handmade in England. Won't the Bentley-buying populace feel slighted by production in Slovakia? Not to worry. As is the case with the Porsche Cayenne, all that will be produced in Slovakia is the Bentayga's body. According to a report from Automotive News, bodies for the Bentayga will be shipped from Bratislava to Crewe, England, where they will be finished into fully operational vehicles. In order to accommodate the additional work, VW will reportedly invest 500 million euros into the plant in Slovakia and hire hundreds of workers.
