Hi, I am offering our '71 camper for sale. Due to an upcoming relocation we can no longer keep "Hannah" and she needs a new caretaker. She's been good and treated us well, she's not perfect but I think a fine, solid good running bus. I'll start w/ mechanicals, tires have plenty of tread left, they're quiet, smooth and have good grip. Up front the calipers, pads and brake lines are about a yr old, at the rear, drums shoes, hoses, hardware and just recently new wheel cylinders. KYB shocks about 2yrs old fr &rear. The front suspension is solid, steers smoothly and tracks straight. The clutch is strong and the trans shifts perfectly. The motor is the famous dual port 1600. I just had the valves adjusted and compression tested a hair under 140lb equally on all 4 cylinders. The motor is strong and sports a brand new weber IDF 40mm carb and a complete tuneup. Currently there is a header w/ a Kadron pipe on it which sounds nice (to me). For others I am including the original bus exhaust which is like new that I can install for you along w/ the original bumper. I also have the original air filter ass'y and vacuum regulator for the dual port distributor which I am currently using as a single. I also have a nos 009 distributor and a few jet selections for the carb depending on your altitude and driving requirements. This motor is solid and runs well, starts well even at 25deg this past winter, and drove thru fairly deep snow no problems, w/ excellant heat! Truly! after 15min @ highway speed the cabin was comfy and windshield clear!......On to the rest, the body is solid, it's not perfect, but the photos show the picture, there is a slight dent in the rear hatch that could prolly be popped out, there is very very slight beginnings of surface rust at various points, the most obvious on the sliding door. But guess what? I'm including a replacement sliding door in the same color! I just never got to swap it out. There is no stove, sink or ice box. They we're removed a long time ago, I think to make room and open up the cabin a bit. The top goes up and down smoothly, the flap zippers operate smoothly, there is a minor tear in the left side tent screen but a little patching should work there. The mattress cushions for up top sleeping are real nice as well as the pull out bench down below. The rear most cushion is gone as that was always the spot for the "stuff". The milk crate behind the drivers seat was for our dog. All in I like how it drives, it's great at the beach and in the hills, it hauls everything. All the locks work, all the lights work, the heat works, the tent is good, the engine is strong, the wipers work, everything. It needs a little cosmetic attention and a radio. I think there's a 1/2 tank of gas, throw your stuff in, turn the key and go. Any questions? feel free any time before 10pm est @ 516-978-5634. My name is Joe and I'll help any way I can, Thanks! I think the starting price to be fair w/ no reserve. A $500 deposit will secure the deal upon completion of auction

Weekly Recap: Volkswagen moves forward under Muller
Sat, Sep 26 2015Most stunning was the speed of it all. On the morning of September 18, Volkswagen AG stood atop the automotive world. It was profitable and sold more cars than Toyota and General Motors, its two main rivals for global supremacy. By nightfall, the company would be embroiled in scandal. Revelations the German auto giant cheated on diesel emissions testing in the United States reverberated from Washington to Wolfsburg, Germany. What started out as a problem with 482,000 VWs and Audis in the US exploded into an international scandal. Millions of vehicles have the rigged software, meaning VW broke environmental rules as its cars spewed pollutants all over the world. The fallout began immediately. Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn – one of the most respected and capable executives in the business – apologized on Sunday and Tuesday. On Wednesday he resigned. As the week progressed, the company's stock took a beating and credit agencies threatened to drop their ratings. VW dealers and owners said they felt betrayed. The automaker hired a law firm that defended BP after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The EPA is already extending its testing procedures to look for "defeat devices" like the ones used by Volkswagen. On Friday the company announced a major restructuring. Matthias Muller, Porsche's chief for the last five years, took over as CEO of Volkswagen and is charged with picking up the pieces of a shattered company facing regulatory action and lawsuits. With GM, Toyota, and Takata scandals still fresh, Volkswagen will likely experience unprecedented levels of scrutiny. Additionally, VW's markets in the United States, Canada, and Mexico will be combined into a North American region under the leadership of former Skoda boss Winfried Vahland, though US chief executive Michael Horn will stay on. The company is also realigning its brands by specialty and streamlining its board. Firings, government action, restructurings, and international outrage – things that usually build up over months or years – all occurred in about a week. With dizzying speed, Volkswagen's future has changed dramatically. It all happened, it's still happening, so fast. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Buick Cascada to start at $33,990 Buick hasn't made a convertible in 25 years. That's a whole person who can drink plus a kindergartner. So it's been awhile. Enter the 2016 Buick Cascada. It has top-shelf Opel engineering, slinky design, and it's reasonably priced.
