1975 Volkswagen Vw Bus Camper Riviera "the Alamobile" on 2040-cars
Houston, Texas, United States
For sale is my art car known as "The Alamobile". I bought it about 7 years ago from someone who had intended to restore it, but didn't have the time. I put about $3K into it to make it safer and more reliable to drive. Brakes, hoses, tires, etc. A few less mechanical upgrades include retractable seats belts on the driver and front passenger seats and a Pioneer single CD player. I believe the van was used as a work van because it was pretty much stripped of all the interior camping features. No back seats, sinks, cabinets etc. The only things that remain from it's camping-use days are the Riviera style camper pop top (tenting intact), the hookup fixtures on the driver side, and the propane tank underneath the bay door. The camper top is painted (clouds on the sides, Texas flag on top). The odometer reads 51,307.4 miles, but it only goes to 6 numbers, so no telling how many times this has cycled over.
The van has some dents on the exterior, but the body is intact. Some rust around the windshield and windows and on the front floor panel, but nothing that isn't repairable. The van was not a daily driver and has not been driven in probably 6 months. I probably only put a couple hundred miles on it a year while I've owned it, if that. It does run and can run good, but I just haven't had time to exercise it regularly. Last time I drove it, it liked to stall out while idling for a bit at red lights. You can gas it to keep it going, but it probably just needs an idle adjustment. No spare tire. The old seats belts, visors, and some other odds and ends are included, as well as two Bosch headlights and bulbs I never got around to installing. The A/C does NOT work. Sold as is. Buyer responsible for shipping/picking up from Houston, TX... Art Car Capital of the World. I don't care if you use it as an art car, too, just hope you make you're own and repaint it. |

10 best new car deals in late September 2021
Wed, Sep 29 2021New car sales were drastically affected in 2020 due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but things started to show signs of recovery toward the end of the year before really coming on strong in the early months of 2021. Now there's an ongoing shortage of microchips causing a great deal of pricing fluctuation and a limited supply of certain vehicles. That doesn't mean there aren't still great deals on new cars, though. Using data provided by TrueCar, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best automotive deals for September 2021. WeÂ’ve noted the original MSRP, the average transaction price, and the total savings in both dollars and as a percentage of the original sticker price. Basically, weÂ’ve done all the hard work for you! So now, all you need to do is compare deals, go on a few test drives, and maybe drive away in a great car (and an even better bargain).
1000-hp Mk1 VW Golf is terrifyingly cool
Tue, 04 Jun 2013There are plenty of things to love about the Mk1 Volkswgen Golf. The machine's horsepower isn't one of them. From the factory, the little hatch cranked a breathy 112 horsepower from the most robust form of its 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. Boba motoring, however, has taken that figure and multiplied it by a factor of nearly 10. If 1,000 horsepower sounds terrifying in a machine with a wheelbase of just 94.5 inches, it should. A massive Garrett GTX4202R turbo force-feeds the little mill through a tweaked 16-valve KR head. The crew calls the beast the 16Vampir, and we think that's fitting.
Of course, we'd wager you quit reading right about the time you set your eyes on that headline. Those of you who've stuck around this long can point yourselves below to see the maniacal creation in action. You won't be disappointed.
World Car Of The Year down to its final four

Judges for the World Car of the Year Award have narrowed down the finalists to just four vehicles. Out of a total of 42 entries, only the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT-86 and Volkswagen Golf remain standing. For Volkswagen, this marks the second consecutive year the company has had an entry among the finalists, and the fourth time since 2009. In order to qualify, a vehicle must be on sale on two continents during the span of time between January 1, 2013 and May 30, 2013. A panel of 66 journalists from 23 countries then vote on the finalists.
Three vehicles have made the cut for the last round of voting on the 2013 World Performance Car as well, with the Cayman/Boxster and FR-S/BRZ/GT-86 running against the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Meanwhile, the Renault Zoe, Tesla Model S and Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid are duking it out for the World Green Car Award. Finally, the World Car Design of the Year Award is up for grabs between the Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar F-Type, and the Mazda6. Check out the full press release below. Overall winners will be presented at the 2013 New York Auto Show.
