I decided to post my baby up for sale.... A 1972 Volkswagen bus. It has been brought to a professional paint shop, all of the layers of old paint were sanded off down to the metal, and it was then primered and painted two-tone yellow and white. This new pant job has a nice thick clear coat and is only a year old! I tried to make it look like the bus from Little Miss Sunshine, it definitely turns lots of heads with this paint. It has absolutely no rust (other than a little battery tray rust) and only has 1 very small (not noticable) nick in the paint on the edge of the slider door due to a part on it malfunctioning (that I fixed). It is a "Deluxe" bus, which means it has original chrome trim all the way around and curtain rods inside. It also has new side and front turn signal light lenses as well as new chrome headlight housings, and the "eyebrow" headlight covers. It has new exterior door handles on both the passenger and driver side, and a new interior handle for the slider door. The antennae is new as well, and the windshield wipers work and have been recently replaced. The tires only have about 5-10,000 miles on them and still look brand new, I also have a spare tire and even the plastic cover for it! The windshield is brand new as well, with a new seal around it. This car looks nearly show worthy.

As for the engine, it is the stock Type 4 1700cc Volswagen motor. It has a new clutch and the transmission still works like new with no grinding and shifts smooth. I replaced the old carbs with brand new "baby" Weber 34's, and they work like a charm all the while keeping gas mileage good. The alternator, starter, battery, voltage regulator, and a few other small parts are brand new with warranties. It has Thunderbird exhaust that I repainted with high-temperature black paint. The heater is currently not hooked up, but I have heater boxes and all the necessary parts for it to work, I just haven't gotten around to it. It has a new fuel pump and a new regulator for the pump, as well as all new fuel lines and spark plugs/wires. This bus runs solid and is ready to go!

The interior has all 3 rows of seats, 2 of which have towels on them due to the seats needing reupholstered. The back bench and driver seats are in okay condition. It has shag carpet, as well as all of the panels intact. The headliner is just fine, except for a hole above the passenger seat. I replaced the dash with one from a bus of the same year that looks brand new. The speedometer and fuel gauge both work, and it has a cassette deck in it that serves as a good stereo (with ipod connection) with two 5 inch speakers as well in the front doors. The driver and passenger seats now have retractable seatbelts that I put in as well. I also have a couple boxes of random parts and things for the bus that I've collected. One more thing... I put an alarm system on the bus because I didn't want anyone to touch such a beautiful car. It is vibration/movement sensitive and is easy to use.

I think I covered just about everything, but I've done so many things to improve this bus that I forget everything I've done. This bus is in beautiful condition and has been an excellent daily driver for me, and it could be for you as well.

2014 Volkswagen Beetle GSR is black and yellow, black and yellow

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Way back in 1973, Volkswagen decided it was high time to take the loveable air-cooled Bug racing. No, it wasn't painted in Herbie colors - Volkswagen called its sport-tuned machine the Beetle GSR, "Gelb Schwarzer Renner" or "Yellow Black Racer." Hence, the somewhat shocking paint scheme.
VW is bringing its sporty black and yellow Beetle back for 2014, and you can see live photos of it above. It's got a 210-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine under the hood (that'd be the hood up front, unlike the car's forebear), and a six-speed manual or DSG automatic transmission sends those ponies to the front wheels. Note that this car's output is up 10 horses on other turbo VWs, and the Jetta GLI and Beetle Turbo for 2013. The 0-60 run takes 6.6 seconds, and top speed is limited to 130 miles per hour.
Besides the in-your-face black and yellow paint, the GSR is outfitted with a large rear spoiler and 19-inch wheels shod with 235/40 tires. The bee-like hue carries over inside, with yellow stitching on black leather. Only 3,500 will be produced, each with its own unique plaque. Pricing has not yet been announced, but you're free to read through the press release below all the same.

Regulators consider adding more carmakers to Takata recall

Tue, Sep 29 2015

Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal has been getting a lot of press recently, but the Takata airbag inflator affair could be grabbing headlines again soon. According to Bloomberg, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is contemplating an expansion to the campaign that could add seven automakers to the 12 already affected. They are Jaguar Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Spartan Motors, Suzuki, Tesla, Volvo Trucks, and VW Group. To be clear, there's no recall for any of these automakers, yet. The government is simply asking for a full list of vehicles that each of them have with Takata-supplied inflators containing ammonium nitrate propellant. The agency is concerned this substance could play a roll in the ruptures. "NHTSA is considering not only whether to issue an administrative order that would coordinate the remedy programs associated with the current Takata recalls, but also whether such an order should include expansion of the current recalls," the letters say. All seven can be viewed, here. From a report supplied by Takata, the government already knows that the company supplied 887,055 inflators with ammonium-nitrate propellant to VW and 184,926 of them to Tesla. In an incident during the summer, a side airbag allegedly burst in a 2015 VW Tiguan. In early September, NHTSA put out a revised report that there were 23.4 million inflators to be replaced in 19.2 million vehicles in the US. An earlier accounting from the agency had about 34 million of the parts in 30 million cars. High humidity is still believed to be among the biggest risk factors for the ruptures. Although, if ammonium nitrate also gets the blame, some already recalled models might need to be repaired again. Related Video:

Skoda Octavia vRS is just the thing for your pumped-up neighborhood

Fri, 26 Jul 2013

Skoda, oh Skoda. You're just so cool. Maybe it's the fact that it's a brand that we don't get in these United States, but Skoda's rebadged Volkswagens, in particular the new Octavia vRS shown here, are just different enough from the hum-drum VWs on our shores that the Czech brand seems strangely desirable. Maybe we're just craving forbidden fruit.
This short, minute-long spot covers the new vRS in a world of excess, where strollers ride on 26-inch wheels, lawnmowers feature V8 engines and ice cream cones are the size of toddlers. As things often go in these ads, the Octavia vRS draws the eyes of passerby that are seemingly use to things far more ridiculous than a reasonably priced Czech sedan. In reality, the Octavia should be fairly familiar to American buyers. It uses the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-pot found in the Volkswagen GTI and Jetta GLI, with 217 horsepower, and sits on the same platform as the Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf. Take a look at the full spot, below.
