1971 VW Bus sunroof camper, Sidemount tent, 1776cc enigine, original paint, Extras!
Want to take your family camping tomorrow in a VW bus? 1000s of miles away? Want a very original bus? with no bondo? original paint? Want one of the best years for the VW bus? last year for the bettle style engine (type 1) first year for front disc brakes. 1 ton carrying capacity. If you answered yes to any of these, this is the bus for you. I just returned from a 2 week, 1k mile trip through the Adirondacks in late june. Mechanically excellent, very original body. Needs nothing to be enjoyed Today! Passed inspection with flying colors in March. This is my daily driver, its my primary car and in great mechanical shape. The body has just the right amount of patina to it to make it awesome. Very complete and thorough turn key rebuild by local reputable builder encompassing 16 months. strong engine, babied since day one. it can pass tractor trailers up a hill. Never over revved. never over heated, and never ran hot. 30k miles on rebuild. 1776 cc Dual HPMX 40mm carbs Mahle pistons gene berg oil pump, gene berg full flow kit with external oil filter. Gene Berg solid rocker shafts Steve Tims 37x32 heads cb performance elephant foot adjusters cb performance Cheater cam cb performance re-manufactured lifters steel push rods Stainless push rod tubes Cb performance re-manufactured balanced connecting rods Recent pertronix point replacement on 009 7.8:1 cr for cooler running Crank was machined and cleaned Case was lapped and align bored. oil dip stick temperature monitor Cb performance exhaust replaced last fall All original tin work in place and reworked over during rebuild including hover bit Always ran proper level of zinc oil. All but the last oil change has been valvoline racing oil. In the last few years i have replaced: Both front calipers all the rubber brake lines Master cylinder Drop link Just replaced all 4 ball joints last month Always maintained. Camper interior is from a 78 deluxe camper with the exception of the 71 jump seat. Sun roof works, but not with the crank, i just push it open or close. if you want to use the crank it just needs new cables. Has appropriate 6 ply 1 ton tires. When the ball joints failed this winter, the front ones got a little cupped but are still with in spec. My inspection station said by next inspection will need 2 new fronts. A beautiful original side mount tent. The fabric is bright and in excellent shape. Some of the rubber rings that hold the hooks on, for the frame, have been replaced by string as the plastic welds break with age. I have all frame pieces, and even most of the original stakes and strings. Some slight separating of the fabric from the rain gutter rubber, a few inches on each end. see picture! its about the same on both ends. Still works like new. over all its in excellent shape. the transmission has a grind going into 3rd, if you shift slow and cautious, its not there. Shifter is a little sloppy. The headliner is in not great shape. some spots have been duct taped. Its so old and brittle it seems if you touch it, it rips. I had intended on just gluing some vinyl over the worse parts. but never got around to it. has surface rust, but only one small soft spot in the passenger side rocker. Very common. aside from that one soft spot, there is no other rot. You could repair the small spot and paint it to make it last another 40 years, or just drive it the way it is. lots of the original undercoating is still there as seen in the pictures. I also have an adventure wagon high roof. I was going to put it on the bus, no cutting needed as it has a sun roof. never got around to it. The fiberglass is in great shape, needs the seal between the body and the top. its a generic seal you can pick up online. its an excellent addition. A rare dealer installed trailer hitch. I have used to tow up to 1K lbs. Original Childs Cot. I have more extras to toss in, as the bidding goes up more will get thrown in. Check back. The kayak is not included but the roof rack is. If you are not in new england and make a bid, contact me before the bidding ends, or i will remove your bid. I will deliver it up to a 50-75 mile radius. The high roof will need to be thrown into a pick up truck or something. please ask any questions you may have. you can even come see it. Maine does not title cars of this age, however if you are in a state that requires titles, its an easy and quick process to go through. |

Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe Concept is an aspirational Jetta
Mon, 21 Apr 2014Meet the Volkswagen baby CC. Okay, that's not really it's name (VW calls it the New Midsize Coupe Concept), but this sleek, four-door coupe draws more than a little inspiration from the CC while riding on VW's MQB platform.
It's a looker, we think, and is an eye-pleasing departure from the bland styling of the current Jetta. The sleeker front end is complemented by a wider body overall (it's wider than a Passat), while the more sporting roofline and the sharp rear fascia gives the New Midsize Coupe a decidedly sporting character. LED head- and taillights add a bit more personality to this already stylish design.
Thanks to its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, it should get along rather sportingly, as well. The run to 62 miles per hour takes just 6.5 seconds thanks to the 217 horsepower on offer. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is also fitted, and contributes to an estimated 37 miles per gallon.
Which will Dieselgate hurt more, Volkswagen or US diesels?
Tue, Sep 22 2015The most damning response to the news Volkswagen skirted emissions regulations for its diesel models may have actually come from the Los Angeles Times. On Saturday, the Times published an editorial titled "Did Volkswagen cheat?" The answer was undoubtedly yes. When you can't drive down Santa Monica Boulevard without seeing an average of one VW TDI per block, the following words are pretty striking: "... Americans should be outraged at the company's cynical and deliberate efforts to violate one of this country's most important environmental laws." VW has successfully cultivated a strong, environmentally conscious reputation for its TDI Clean Diesel technology, especially in states where emissions are strictly controlled. A statement like that is like blood all over the opinion section of the Sunday paper. The effect on VW's business, even Germany's financial health, was already felt Monday when the company's shares plummeted 23 percent in morning trading. The statement on Sunday from VW CEO Dr. Martin Winterkorn says "trust" three times. That probably wasn't enough in nine sentences. Writers over the weekend have compared VW's crisis to one at General Motors 30 years ago, when it was the largest seller of diesel-powered passenger cars until warranty claims over an inadequate design and ill-informed technicians effectively pulled the plug on the technology at GM. In a sense, VW is in the same boat as GM because it has fired a huge blow into its own reputation and that of diesels in passenger cars. And just as automakers like Jaguar Land Rover, BMW and, ironically, GM, were getting comfortable with it again in the US. VW of America was already knee-deep in its other problems this year. Its core Jetta and Passat models are aging and it needs to wait more than a year for competitive SUVs that American buyers want. The TDIs were the only continuous bright spot in the line and on the sales charts. Even as fuel prices fell and buyers shunned hybrids, VW managed to succeed with diesels and show that Americans actually care about and accept the technology again. Fervent TDI supporters might actually lobby for that maximum $18 billion fine to VW. I've personally convinced a number of people to look at a TDI instead of a hybrid. Perhaps not so much for stop-and-go traffic, but I know buyers who liked the idea that a TDI drove like a normal car and wasn't packed with batteries.
Help a couple drive their 1984 Vanagon around the world
Mon, 22 Apr 2013Meet Brad, Sheena and Nacho
Driving through China is a pricey proposition. The couple will need to pony up a staggering $19,514 just to cover the fees.
Brad and Sheena Van Orden are in the midst of a life-defining campaign to travel around the world, and they're doing it in a 1984 Volkswagen Vanagon custom built for the occasion. The past 15 months have seen the couple quit their jobs with Gore-Tex and drive from Arizona to the very southern tip of Argentina after spending a full two years saving and preparing for the trek. Now they're in southern Asia gearing up for the next leg of their journey.
