For sale is a 1973 Volkswagen pop-top camper bus. It has a rebuilt 2 litre engine with less than four thousand miles on it. The transmission was also rebuilt when the engine was and a new clutch was installed at that time. I bought it last spring and used it all summer as a daily driver. It runs like a dream. I have made a lot of modifications to it, restoring the interior. It needs a few more small things and it will be perfect. The table has been re-surfaced and the interior wall panels have been painted white with the exception of the sliding door. There is laminate flooring installed in the back and it looks really nice. I also put new curtains in all the way around. I installed a new refrigerator in the back which has a mirrored black tinted transparent front. It has a blue LED internal light which looks pretty cool. There is also a brand new top of the line 300 dollar yellow top battery installed in the back. All it really needs is to have a power inverter installed and hooked up to a switch to either run off of shore power or the battery bank. The main battery is also new, and there is a battery switch hooked up so that the starting battery will be charged until full charge is reached, then it will switch over and charge the starting battery. I made a new roof assembly for the rear which just needs to be painted and installed. The roof assembly can also hold two 6x9 speakers, and there is also a place to hook up two more 6x9s in the front doors. I also made the door panel for the sliding door, it just hasn't been painted or installed yet. I just ran out of summer before I ran out of work to do on it. It has all new tires. It has new brake lines and pads on the front. I started it a couple weeks ago, and it started right up in sub zero weather. The top is in decent condition with no major tears. The cots will need new canvas however. Age made them kind of brittle. It has the pop top with a cot for a child (or a really short person), another cot that goes across the front seats, and the fold out bed in the back. There is plenty of storage room. It has a new steering wheel and an old style oooga car horn with an 8 ball shifter. As you can see, Scooby is always riding with me. If you want him too, maybe we can work something out. :) It definitely gets some attention. Also it has a complete set of brand new chrome hub caps. I took it on some road trips this summer and it did great. I have a lot more pictures if you would like to see some more. Just send me an e-mail at dadgeman@yahoo.com.
Also, I forgot to mention that I started installing LED light bars as opposed to dome lights for the interior of the camper and the dome light. Less power draw, and a cool blue tint. Just needs to be finished wiring to the switch. Wires are already run.

France may still ban diesel vehicle sales
Sun, Nov 27 2016Legislators 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.

Tanner Foust checks out his new VW Beetle GRC rally car
Thu, 11 Sep 2014Racing driver and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust is a very busy guy. After all, he's competing in rounds of both Global Rallycross series and FIA World Rallycross Championship, not to mention his TV duties. However, we probably shouldn't feel too sorry for him, because his job puts him behind the wheel of some truly crazy machinery.
Case in point is his latest ride in Global Rallycross - the Volkswagen Beetle GRC. The German company claims that this all-wheel drive Bug makes around 540 horsepower from its 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and can shoot to 60 in under 2 seconds. Plus, if this video is any indication, this Volkswagen sounds like a machine gun when throwing revs at idle, and it can do some wonderfully easy four-wheel drifts.
Previously, Foust was driving a VW Polo for Andretti Autosport in GRC, but the team unveiled the look of the Beetle GRC at the Chicago Auto Show. Now, Foust is finally getting to show off his new office to the public, and like VW's tagline for the new car claims, it's way hotter than Herbie.
Trump reportedly says he wants to wipe German cars off the U.S. map
Thu, May 31 2018BERLIN/FRANKFURT — A report that U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to pursue German carmakers until there are no Mercedes-Benz rolling down New York's Fifth Avenue dented shares in the luxury car manufacturers on Thursday. An excerpt from German magazine Wirtschaftswoche's article, which cited several unnamed European and U.S. diplomats but did not include any direct quotes, could not be independently verified, while a U.S. Embassy spokesman in Berlin referred questions to Washington. The news and current affairs magazine said Trump had told French President Emmanuel Macron in April that he aimed to push German carmakers out of the United States altogether. Macron's administration in Paris declined to comment on the report. The Trump administration last week opened a so-called Section 232 trade investigation into vehicle imports, which could result in a 25 percent tariff on cars on the same "national security" grounds Washington used to impose metals duties in March. This could destroy exports by German carmakers, which control 90 percent of the U.S. premium market and are the biggest European Union exporters of cars to the United States. BMW owns Rolls-Royce, while Daimler has Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen controls Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche and Audi. Daimler, BMW and Audi declined comment. Porsche was not immediately available for comment. BMW shares were trading 0.5 percent lower at 0939 GMT, while Daimler and VW's shares were down 1 percent and 1.6 percent respectively, underperforming Germany's blue-chip DAX. Trump has railed against German carmakers before. And in early 2017, in an interview with German newspaper Bild, he said he would impose 35 percent tariffs on imported cars. At the time, the president called Germany a great car producer but said that the business relationship with the United States was an unfair one-way street. Germany's auto industry association VDA says its members exported 657,000 vehicles to North America last year, with total exports of vehicle components, cars, engines, as well as second-hand vehicles totaling 31.2 billion euros in 2016. Imports from the United States to Germany amounted to 7.4 billion euros, meaning a trade deficit of 23.8 billion euros the VDA's latest available figures show. However, German brands also have huge factories in the United States, where they built 804,000 cars last year, VDA said, providing jobs for U.S. workers. Berlin has reacted angrily to the U.S.
