This is a 1971 VW Volkswagen Early Bay Window Bus with a paint scheme to resemble the Hurley Bus from the hit TV sow "LOST". It is in running and driving condition and can be enjoyed immediately.

Mechanical - It has a 1600 CC dual port engine with a stock 4 speed manual transmission. The bus starts right up as it should and drives down the road. All of the gears work (1-4) as well as reverse. The brakes stop the bus as they should but the E-brake will not engage. The front has been lowered about 2-3 inches and the rear has been lowered 1 index down from stock. The odometer reads 50976 but i am not sure if it has turned over, or how many times since it is a 5 digit odo.

Exterior - Body has some dings and dents and there is some signs that bus was once converted to a camper style bus and then converted back. Currently the bus has been painted and schemed to look like the Hurley Bus from LOST. All of the glass is there but has signs of wear and pitting. Wheels are stock steel wheels with chrome VW center caps. The bus does not have any bumpers on it.

Interior - The front seats are both in good condition and look like they have been recently reupholstered, there is no middle seat and the rear seat is the Z-Bed type seat that folds down into a bed. The rubber weatherstripping is in tact but a bit dry and may have some cracking. Tan Berber carpeting has been added to the passenger area and on top of the dash to make it nice and cozy inside. There is a CD player but it goes on the fritz when you try to use it and several of the speakers are missing. The dash and cluster have some minor cracks in it but is in overall decent condition considering the age.

Jaguar Land Rover remains bullish on diesels

Wed, Sep 30 2015

Despite Volkswagen's recent diesel scandal, Jaguar Land Rover is pushing ahead with ambitious plans to roll out the technology across most of its lineup in the coming years. Jaguar and Land Rover will add diesel engine variants to every model in their lineups, except for the Jaguar F-Type sports car. Land Rover launched the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport with available 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 diesels, and together they have sold more than 330 units so far in September, their first month on sale in the United States. JLA officials say they've seen no fallout from VW's emissions problem and are adamant their diesels meet EPA standards. "That has been our strategy, and it is not changing," Joe Eberhardt, Jaguar Land Rover North America CEO, told the Automotive Press Association on Wednesday in Detroit. "You have to deal with the situations as they arrive. We are confident of diesel." Jaguar will get another diesel next year from its Ingenium engine family, which will initially be sold in the XE sedan and the F-Pace crossover. It's a turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder unit and makes 180 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque. A JLR spokesman said the Ingenium has not yet gone through the EPA certification process, and the diesel-powered models will arrive in the fall. Jaguar also plans to add diesel engines to the flagship XJ and XF sedans. Land Rovers, including the Discovery and Evoque, will also get diesel options, and the company estimates the technology will offer 20- to 30-percent improvements in fuel economy, depending on the vehicle. Eberhardt said it is "too soon to tell" if the diesel market will be weighed down by Volkswagen's situation. The German automaker admitted to cheating on emissions tests to make its diesel-powered cars appear to run cleaner than they actually do in real-world situations. The ensuing outrage forced longtime VW chief executive Martin Winterkorn to step down and prompted a reorganization of the company, which faces legal and regulatory action around the world. Still, Eberhardt maintains JLR is "very confident" in its diesels, which are part of its strategy to grow sales around the world. Land Rover has experienced rapid growth under the ownership of Indian conglomerate, Tata Motors, while Jaguar is set to revitalize its lineup with new entries like the XE and F-Pace to reach a broader market segment.

Wagons ho! These three images of the upcoming Volkswagen Golf Wagon have leaked online ahead of the car's official debut, which may very well be at the Geneva Motor Show.

Mon, 22 Apr 2013

Meet 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.
