The ultimate sports and leisure vehicle, this classic 'ol Pop-Top Westy is ready when you are. I know that she's not that snazzy, and I know that the interior is a little worn, but that's what gives this van its unique character. You can drive this anywhere and not have to worry about a little sand on the floor, or getting a door ding at the local Cantina. Just drive it and have fun with your friends and family.The best thing about this cool bus is how well it runs and drives. I will highlight some of its great mechanical features:
- Rebuilt 1600 dual-port engine which just had a major tune-up and oil change. I was told that the engine was rebuilt at some point but do not have the paperwork. It does have 115 to 120 pounds compression and runs like a top.
- 4-speed manual transaxle shifts smooth and doesn't whine or pop-out of any gears.
- Great brakes with good pedal,stops straight with no grinding or pulling.
- Tight front-end doesn't wander or clunk. The ball joints were replaced recently so it drives straight down the road.
- Nice factory wheels and chrome VW hubcaps, with like new heavy duty tires.
- The 12 volt electrical system works well; head-lights, tail-lights, blinkers, horn, wipers, brake lights and new battery.
- Windshield has small crack in corner and doesn't affect your vision. It does have new wiper blades to give you that clear view of life.
- CD Player with four speaker comes with Grateful Dead live CD
- Great collection of sweet stickers from places this bus has wandered...
This is is a relatively rust free van,with a great mint green finish, what you see is what you get. The front floors are a little rusty but could be easily repaired. The under carriage is rust free and in excellent condition. The body does have some scrapes and bruises with body work in the left rear quarter. It's not perfect, but has tons of potential.
Folks, I'm selling this van in its unrestored state so that it can be purchased at a reasonable price and enjoyed immediately. The lucky buyer can drive it just the way it is for along time, or restore it in their own good time, to their own personal taste and budget. If you have any questions feel free to ask or if you're local and serious feel free to set-up a personal viewing. I am open to offers on my Buy It Now price, but will only negotiate over the phone or in person and will only do so through my E-Bay listing. You're welcome to call a me anytime with questions or concerns @ 720-270-5637. Also, feel free to to learn more about my world by clicking on the "ME" link next to my feedback..Thanks for checking out my auction and good luck bidding. Peace, Love, and Old VW Buses....

YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.

Ford Mustang Mach-E fails Sweden's moose test
Wed, Sep 29 2021The infamous moose test has claimed another casualty. This time it's the Ford Mustang Mach-E AWD Long Range, which was tested in an electric four-way alongside the Tesla Model Y, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Skoda Enyaq iV (an electric utility vehicle closely related to the Volkswagen ID.4 that is sold in the United States). According to the Swedish testers at Teknikens Varld, Ford's electric car not only failed to hit the speed necessary for a passing grade, it didn't perform well at slower speeds, either. To pass the outlet's moose test, a car has to complete a rapid left-right-straight S-shaped pattern marked by cones at a speed of at least 72 km/h (44.7 miles per hour). The test is designed to mimic the type of avoidance maneuver a driver would have to take in order to avoid hitting something that wandered into the road, which in Sweden may be a moose but could just as easily be a deer or some other member of the animal kingdom elsewhere in the world, or possibly a child or car backing into the motorway. Not only is the maneuver very aggressive, it's also performed with weights belted into each seat and more weight added to the cargo area to hit the vehicle's maximum allowable carrying capacity. The Mustang Mach-E only managed to complete the moose test at 68 km/h (42.3 mph), well below the passing-grade threshold. Even at much lower speeds, Teknikens Varld says the Mach-E (which boasts the highest carrying capacity and was therefore loaded with more weight than the rest of the vehicles tested in this quartet) is "too soft in the chassis" and suffers from "too slow steering." Proving that it is indeed possible to pass the test, the Hyundai and Skoda completed the maneuver at the 44.7-mph figure required for a passing grade and the Tesla did it at 46.6 mph, albeit with less weight in the cargo area. It's not clear whether other versions of the Mustang Mach-E would pass the test. It's also unknown if Ford will make any changes to its chassis tuning or electronic stability control software, as some other automakers have done after a poor performance from Teknikens Varld, to improve its performance in the moose test.
