My son bought this bus 3 years ago when he hoped to travel the country. Now he has decided that med school is the goal instead and needs money. He has loved this bus and it has been a very dependable, fun ride. Driving it the past few years really replaced his shyness with confidence since people talk to him everywhere he goes. Everyone has a VW story it seems!

We have the original VW service record showing its birth in Sept. 1970, travels through France, Italy, Spain, etc. and its arrival in the US. It will also come with a binder of maintenance receipts and the VW official service manual. We will be happy to give you our mechanic's info to discuss the bus before you buy and of course, you are welcome to come test drive it. We may even be able to meet you if we're a little too far for you or at an airport.

We have done a lot to the inside and mechanics of the bus, but my son loved the outside so we did not do much to it. If you wanted a good paint job, it does have some rust around the windows and wheel wells and you would want to replace the window seals if not at least one window. The camper is in good shape, but there are a few holes in the tent screens.

What has been done on the inside:
Everything was removed. There was a rust spot on the floor behind the front seats so a new metal panel was welded in. Then the entire inside had a rust coating and paint. "Fat mat" insulation was installed over that for noise and heat reduction. New flooring, carpet, side panels, headliner, and curtains were added and the seats were recovered. The spare tire was added to the front of the bus for added room inside. New rubber seals were put on the 2 front doors, sliding door, back hatch, engine compartment, and camper top. The support bars for the front seat hammock are included, but there is no hammock.

Mechanically:
When we first got it, we found an awesome guy at Kenny's VW Repair in Hudson, FL. It ran well at the time, but I asked him to do everything it needed to keep it safe and dependable for my son. He was awesome and he has continued to do oil changes, tune ups, and anything it needed along the way. We got 5 new tires that he recommended from The Bus Depot at the time. They have lots of life left. Receipts are in the binder that goes with the bus.

We could only add 24 pics. Call 352-341-0113 for more pics or for a test drive. All questions welcome.

France may still ban diesel vehicle sales

Sun, Nov 27 2016

Legislators in France are not afraid to bring out the ban hammer when it comes to dirty vehicles. The city of Paris has implemented bans on old clunkers, and the French Prime Minister, Manuel Valls, said in 2014 that diesel cars were a "mistake" and that the government would "progressively undo" the error. Now the national government has said it will not rule out banning sales of new diesel vehicles by Renault and Volkswagen if those companies don't answer more questions about their vehicles' emissions. Environment Minister Segolene Royal said last week that France wants more information about the VW diesel defeat device and Renault's engine software. "We will be asking the consumer fraud investigators and prosecutors to communicate any findings that will enable us to establish whether it's necessary to withdraw sales authorizations," Royal said. Royal has been making waves recently at the COP22 meeting in Marrakesh, Morocco and said that Donald Trump's environmental policies will be " absolutely catastrophic" and weaken the US' standing in the world. If the US doesn't want to lead on climate change efforts, she said, "China can take the place of the United States." She has also been involved in a controversy at home over votes that her staff made to allow higher emissions level from vehicles.

Recharge Wrap-up: Volkswagen Sustainability Council meets, Zee.Aero flying car spotted?

Wed, Oct 26 2016

The Volkswagen Sustainability Council held its inaugural meeting in Berlin. Made up of nine international experts, the council will advise VW and take action on its own as it sees fit. In the meeting, the council decided that in 2017 it will focus on tackling CO2 emissions, planning for post-2025 regulations, and assisting the automaker's "transformation from car manufacturer to mobility services provider," as VW Chairman Matthias Muller puts it. Volkswagen has approved 20 million euros (about $21.75 million) in funding for Sustainability Council projects for its first two years. "We are fully aware of the large transformation that lays ahead Volkswagen Group," says George Kell, Sustainability Council Chair and Founding Director of UN Global Compact. "We were invited to be part of this journey and are very much looking forward on being actively involved in the development of this journey." Read more at Green Car Congress, or from Volkswagen. Honda plans to ramp up its share of hybrids sold in the US. In response to increasingly strict emissions standards, the company wants electrified vehicles (including hybrid, plug-in hybrid, battery electric, and fuel cell vehicles) to make up two-thirds of Honda and Acura sales in US by 2030. Some analysts are skeptical, though. Christopher Richter of CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets says that dealers are telling Honda they don't want hybrids. "Unless there's a change in what dealers want, I don't think they are going to get there that fast," Richter says. Read more at Automotive News. Witnesses report spotting what could possibly be the Zee.Aero electric aircraft at Hollister Airport in California. Zee.Aero, a startup funded by Google cofounder Larry Page, has a hangar at that airport, where a photo was taken of the aircraft in question. The craft is said to be capable of vertical takeoff and landing and can fit in a one-car garage, earning it the "flying car" moniker. Eyewitness Saul Gomez described the aircraft as "quiet" and "hovering 20, 25 feet off the ground." Read more at Electrek, and watch the interview at Mercury News.

Volkswagen Cross Up! aimed at rugged lifestyle folks, complete with plastic cladding

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

If you thought there was nothing wrong with the Volkswagen Up! that a little body cladding wouldn't fix, you're in luck. VW has officially pulled the wraps off the production version of the Cross Up!, and its wheel arches and rocker panels are full of the black plastic cladding you've been yearning for.
In addition to the "particularly rugged design and tough, lifestyle qualities" that the cladding exudes, VeeDub has also seen fit to put its Cross Up! on a new set of 16-inch alloy wheels clad in 185/50-series tires. Inside, there are new kick plates to go along with a dash pad that can be had in red, black or silver.
All that cladding must equal additional off-road readiness, right? Well, sure... just so long as you're fine with the same 75-horsepower three-cylinder engine that all other Up! models also feature, along with a five-speed manual transmission sending power to the front wheels, again, just like all other Up! models. The Cross Up! appears to have a taller ride height than other models, but we haven't been able to find out what - if any - changes have been made.
