You are bidding on a 1973 Volkswagen Type 2b Bus, also known as a Transporter, Kombi, Bay Window, or Late Bay Van.

We purchased this van in 2009 as a project for my daughter, who wanted a “hippie van”. Now she’s about to graduate from college and it’s time to move on to the next project.

When we bought it, it had “good bones” but needed some cosmetic help. Over the years we’ve cosmetically and mechanically “refreshed” the van. It’s been driven very little, but runs and drives great, even at highway speeds. It has low miles (68,000), and the body is straight. It also has the interior pieces in place for the rare A/C setup (not hooked up).

Body/Cosmetics...We completely repainted the exterior and door jams. We gutted, sanded, and painted the interior floors and put down black and white check vinyl flooring in the middle/back and new carpet up front. We built a custom L-shaped lounge in the back, complete with new seat belts (also have original back bench if you want it). We reupholstered the front seats to match the back lounger and installed new seat belts, door panels, kick panels, and sun visors. We installed a nice Kenwood stereo with new speakers in the doors and under the back lounger. We replaced the front windshield (old one was cracked) and all the rubbers around the windows and doors.

Mechanical...The engine (original, as far as I know) has always run well and has needed no work (but does leak a little oil). We have put in a new shifter and replaced the shift tubes and linkages to make it shift better. It has a new alternator. As you may know, factory installed gas tanks were made in such a way that they rust over time and clog the fuel system. We had our fuel tank removed and sent off to be completely cleaned and dipped (galvanized) to permanently eliminate that problem. We also installed a new fuel sending unit while the tank was out. It has new tires (<500 miles) and new exhaust/muffler.

Good luck, and please, serious bidders only (someone who can pay for the car, as directed, if you are the winning bidder). Please, no scammers!

Volkswagen finds CO2 'irregularities' for 800k vehicles

Wed, Nov 4 2015

The latest issue for Volkswagen affects another 800,000 vehicles, and this time its for irregularities in CO2 emissions certifications. VW estimates this issue could cost the company $2.2 billion to fix. The company officially makes no specific mention of which engines are covered, the models they are in, or even where they are located. VW discovered the situation during its ongoing internal investigation, and, according to the automaker, "it was established that the CO2 levels and thus the fuel consumption figures for some models were set too low during the CO2 certification process." Most of the affected vehicles are diesels, and the company is now reaching out to "the responsible type approval agencies" to figure out the next step. While VW isn't officially confirming which models and engines are involved, Automotive News reports that it affects some 2012 and later VW, Audi, Seat, and Skoda models with the company's 1.4-, 1.6-, and 2.0-liter diesel engines, as well as the 1.4-liter ACT gasoline engine. The issue mainly affects vehicles sold in Europe. "The Board of Management of Volkswagen AG deeply regrets this situation and wishes to underscore its determination to systematically continue along the present path of clarification and transparency," CEO Matthias Muller said in the announcement. Volkswagen Group of America spokesperson Jeannine Ginivan was able to provide some further clarification to Autoblog. "This is not related to US-certified vehicles," she said. Clarification moving forward: internal investigations at Volkswagen identify irregularities in CO2 levels Matthias Muller: "Relentless and comprehensive clarification is our only alternative." Around 800,000 Group vehicles could be affected Initial estimate puts economic risks at approximately 2 billion euros The Volkswagen Group is moving forward with the clarification of the diesel issue: during the course of internal investigations irregularities were found when determining type approval CO2 levels. Based on present knowledge around 800,000 vehicles from the Volkswagen Group could be affected. An initial estimate puts the economic risks at approximately two billion euros. The Board of Management of Volkswagen AG will immediately start a dialog with the responsible type approval agencies regarding the consequences of these findings. This should lead to a reliable assessment of the legal, and the subsequent economic consequences of this not yet fully explained issue.
