1973 Panel van up for bidding. This van is in very good shape for the year. The sliding door operates nicely as the track and supporting metal has been replaced, the driverside floorpan has also been repaired. The entire electrical system has been rewired and everything works as the factory intended some features like the headlights even better. It has new modern fuse and relay panels and metri-pack connectors throughout. The front end is tight and it rides very nicely down the road. The RA08 tires are nearly new as well as the front brakes including the rotors, rear brakes are also in fine working order. The front doors have new handles and locks. The windshield is recently replaced and is perfect. The fuel system including the tank and pump are new and the tank has a liner in it to keep it rust free for years to come. Interior is in fair shape, has a decent stereo. Trans works well and shifts well. The engine is a 1700 pancake style and has dropped a valve, so currently it is not running. With the addition off a rebuilt engine this bus is a daily driver, everything else mechanically is really in good shape. I have lots of parts and panels that go with, including a battery tray and driver side rocker repair panel, both of which it could use but not in dire need. The frame and underside are in amazing shape compared to most vehicles of this vintage. New clutch cable as well as the sleeve at the tranny that wears out. Heating system is in need of repair, I never drove it in the winter so it never bothered me. Some dumb@$$ previous owner cut holes in the rear panels but they have been repaired, one fairly well, one not so much but can be fixed up easily. Not really that noticeable but not that great either. If you are looking for a solid vintage bus to drive or build a project around this is the one you want. Panel vans are fairly rare and in my opinion super cool looking as vws go. I will help with shipping arrangements if necessary, at winners expense. Full payment within 3 days of auction end. Acceptable payment methods are, cash, cashiers check. Contact me to discuss other payment methods. Also feel free to contact me with questions

VW redoes A-ha's 'Take On Me' music video

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

Volkswagen has been responsible for its fair share of witty, clever commercials. "Tiny Vader" might be the most popular, but somehow, we think this newest spot will find a big audience. VW delivers not so much a cover, but a reimagining, of 1980s Norwegian pop band A-ha's famous music video for "Take On Me."
The original opens with an animated motorcycle race, which is revealed to be part of a comic book. VW's version replaces the motorcycle with a Passat, which strikes us as an oddly sober choice when there are cars like the GTI and Beetle in VW's portfolio. But never mind that - take a look down below for the entire 46-second spot. For reference, we've also included the original music video. And if you aren't a fan of the musical stylings of A-ha, just think, VW's choice of 1980s music could have been much worse.

Autoblog Minute: VW finds CO2 'irregularities', Takata dropped by automakers, SEMA recap

Fri, Nov 6 2015

Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal gets a new wrinkle, US regulators hit Takata Corporation with a substantial fine, and we head to Las Vegas for a look at tuner paradise at the 2015 SEMA show. Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal gets a new wrinkle. US regulators issue a significant fine to Takata Corporation. And we take a peek inside tuner paradise at the 2015 SEMA show. I'm senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. The VW diesel emissions scandal, first brought to light in September, gets a new wrinkle, as an internal investigation by the German automaker revealed [00:00:30] irregularities in CO2 emissions that could affect approximately 800,000 vehicles. VW estimates the issue could pose a 2-billion euro economic risk. VW claims that most of the vehicles affected have diesel engines, but industry analysts say a 1.4-liter gas engine is also affected. VW says that fuel consumption figures were set too low during the CO2 certification process. During all of this, sales of some diesel-powered Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche models [00:01:00] have been halted. Takata Corporation is back in the news in connection with its deadly airbag scandal. Federal regulators fined Takata $70 million. If the parts supplier does not comply, the fine could balloon to $200 million. Takata was also dropped this week by its biggest customer, Honda. And now, Toyota and Mazda will be following Honda's lead in dropping Takata. We're also hearing that Mitsubishi and Subaru are considering a switch in air-bag inflator suppliers. SEMA 2015 [00:01:30] came and went. We saw offerings from Mopar, like the AWD Challenger concept. Honda unveiled a Ridgeline that it will race at the Baja 1000, which gives us a hint at what future production model could look like. The celebrity presence was also felt in Vegas as it always is. Kid Rock brought a Duramax Diesel Chevy Silverado, and Acura restored and presented Ludacris with his now famous 1993 Acura Legend. Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to come back on Saturday for my full recap, [00:02:00] where I'll have some added insight into Hyundai's foray into the luxury sector. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore. Autoblog Minute is a short-form video news series reporting on all things automotive.
