1974 Volkswagen Transporter window passanger bus.

Make it what you want- A cruiser to the beach, surfer bus, art bus, family camper, a daily driver, Needs a loving home.

This is a great chance to own a vintage bus that you can easly make it what you want. It has been owned by a old man for the past 20+ years, and now it has been owned by my 67 year old dad. Since my father bought it unfortunately he has stopped driving it. It has been sitting for about a year. I put fresh oil in it and new fuel and charged the battery on 12-07-13. It starts right up and goes in all gears and breaks good. But it does need some tlc.

The Bad- To be honest I will describe the bus best to my ability but it is sold as-is and how it is. The bus is sold with current 2014 reg from California and a clear title. It needs to be towed bcs it has set for a year and it needs tlc..

1-it needs tune up bcs the dual carbs back fire etc

2-needs some interior cleaning and needs all new seat coverings because they are torn up. See photos.

3-needs little adds and ends just like any old vw, for example radio is not working and needs a new one, 30 year old car that needs to be restored to look and run like new if that is what you want. 

4-only has ignition key so it needs door key, but it is easy to rekey bcs one key opens and closes all the locks etc. My dad only had one key for the ignition bcs he never locked it.

5-Car paint is not perfect it has little dings etc, most buses have rust all over but this one is nice and dry. It does have some surface rust (including one spot on driver floor where their is a little hole). See All pics to evaluate condition for your self.

 

The Great-

1-2.0 litter engine that should go 75 mph with out a problem when tuned etc... ( not sure of the mileage but the prior owner said engine was rebuilt and now it has approx 30 to 40k miles on it. Has pancake style engine just like in a Porsche 914.

2-Bus is yellow and white - and the paint looks great but it is 30 years old.

3-Great start for a dream bus. Floors are good, bus has all bumpers and even the battery tray is solid.

4-All windows are good, doors open and close good, sliding door is great.

5-Stops and goes in all gears, well the transmission with axels was rebuilt about a year ago.

6- Has rear seat that you can take out and sleep in the bus or make it what you want, all seats really need to be recovered. Door panels are okay but it all needs a little love.

7-Well this is your chance to own a great bus project that can be a daily driver easly. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL ME AND SEE THE BUS BEFORE BIDDING OR ANY QUESTIONS ARE OKAY. THE BUYER MUST REALIZE THAT THE BUS IS 30+ YEARS OLD AND IS SOLD AS-IS.  $500 DEPOSIT IS DUE WITHIN 24 HOURS OF PURCHASE VIA PAYPAL ETC. THE REST MUST BE PAID WITHIN 7 DAYS VIA CASH, BANK TRANSFER ETC.. PLEASE DON'T BID IF YOU CAN'T BUY IT BECAUSE IT TAKES TIME AND MONEY TO PUT A CAR ON EBAY. I WILL SELL BUS ANYWHERE. SEE MY PRIOR CAR SALES, SOME OVER 10K AND BUYERS WERE ALL 100% SATISFIED. I SOLD FEW CARS TO EUROPE AND OWNERS WERE VERY HAPPY. 916-969-0334 Paul. Car is located in Loomis-California-USA.

Germany says nein to EU ban on new fossil-fuel cars from 2035

Tue, Jun 21 2022

BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany's government will not agree to European Union plans to effectively ban the sale of new cars with combustion engines from 2035, Finance Minister Christian Lindner said on Tuesday. In its bid to cut planet-warming emissions by 55% by 2030 from 1990 levels, the European Commission has proposed a 100% reduction in CO2 emissions from new cars by 2035. That means it would be impossible to sell combustion engine cars from then. European Parliament lawmakers backed the proposals this month, before negotiations with EU countries on the final law take place. Speaking at an event hosted by Germany's BDI industry association, Lindner said there would continue to be niches for combustion engines so a ban was wrong and said the government would not agree to this European legislation. Lindner, a member of the pro-business Free Democrats, which shares power with the Social Democrats and Greens, said Germany would still be a leading market for electric vehicles.

Chrysler slows minivan production, hasn't built VW Routan this year

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Chrysler has slowed production of its Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans this week, Automotive News reports. The Windsor, Ontario plant will cut its three shifts from eight hours each to four hours each in an effort "to align production with market demand," a Chrysler spokesperson told AN. Chrysler also builds the closely related Routan minivan for Volkswagen at its Ontario facility, but has not built a single example thus far in 2013.
Sales of Chrysler's minivans fell 15 percent for the first two months of 2013, and a large part of that has to do with the 26-percent drop of the Grand Caravan alone (the T&C was only down by one percent). According to Automotive News data, as of March 1, Chrysler had an unsold inventory of 24,713 Town and Country models and 18,547 Grand Caravans - a 69- and 43-day supply, respectively.
"No sense running full speed now, then have a lot of vehicles sitting around a few months down the line," Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson told AN. Full production is expected to resume again on March 18.

2015 Green Car Of The Year finalists announced, run alt-fuel gamut

Tue, Oct 21 2014

The 2015 edition of the Green Car of the Year award is following right in the footsteps of previous years with a variety of alt-fuel powertrains making the just-announced finalists list. You've got your plug-in vehicle (the BMW i3), your compressed natural gas (the Chevy Impala Bi-Fuel), your high-efficiency diesel (the Audi A3 TDI), your 40+ mile-per-gallon gas engine (the Honda Fit) and, finally, a car that can do a little bit of everything (the VW Golf). The Golf is available – at least in some parts of the US – with three different powertrains: a 2.0-liter diesel, a gasoline engine and all-electric drive. The Impala can burn either natural gas or gasoline in its 3.6-liter engine. The A3 is an efficiency champ, able to get 73.5 mpg on some European tests. The i3 can be a pure electric vehicle or come with a short range extending engine. And the Fit brings 41 miles to the gallon in a practical, affordable package. The GCOY award is announced every year at the Los Angeles Auto Show by Green Car Journal. The committee doesn't just take the fuel-saving technology into account, but also a vehicle's "availability to the mass market." Last year, the Honda Accord Hybrid/Plug-In Hybrid won top honors, following up on wins from the Ford Fusion models (plug-in hybrid and hybrid) for 2013, the Honda Civic Natural Gas for 2012 and the Chevrolet Volt for 2011. FINALISTS ANNOUNCED FOR 2015 "GREEN CAR OF THE YEAR"" Green Car Journal to Reveal Winner of 10th Annual Award at LA Auto Show" Press & Trade Days, November 20 LOS ANGELES, CA (October 21, 2014) – Green Car Journal has announced its five finalists for the magazine's high-profile 2015 Green Car of the Year® program. The 2015 models include the Audi A3 TDI, BMW i3, Chevrolet Impala Bi-Fuel, Honda Fit, and VW Golf. The Green Car of the Year® award, an honor widely recognized as the auto industry's most important environmental accolade, celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. An increasing number of vehicle models are considered for the Green Car of the Year® program each year, a reflection of the auto industry's expanding efforts in offering new vehicles with higher efficiency and improved environmental impact. Green Car Journal has been honoring the most important "green" vehicles every year at the LA Auto Show, since its inaugural award announced at the show in 2005.
