This bus is a runner. There are a new core and heads with only 15k on them in the original engine casing. A new clutch has only 15k on it. The rear axles, ditto. A new Bosch fuel pump, 12k. A new alternator and gel battery, 12k. New tires, 5k. New starter and solenoid, new injectors, 5k. Brakes are in great shape.
This bus runs and drives tip-top. The tranny is smooth and steady. The front end is tight with absolutely no play in the wheel. The body has been completely restored and painted. Any rust has been totally eradicated. It looks brand new. The frame and all joints, tie rods, etc. are original and in perfect condition. Zero rust. The new engine has been maintained with serious attention to detail. The valves have been cared for. This bus has never been overheated and has always been driven properly as the VW engine asks for. There is a nice system in this bus with a JVC deck, Bluetooth with hands-free mic, sub, amp and the rear speakers are in boxes with 15 ft of cable each so the party can be brought outside. It has a Fiamma two-bike rear rack that will carry any bikes, even a pair of 29-er mountain bikes. The canvas in the pop-top is flawless and the screen is brand new, I replaced it myself. The back-crippling fold-down rear bench seat has been removed and replaced by a memory foam bed that is (forgive the pun) a dream to sleep on. This bus is ready to travel right now with one or two people. When I built the custom bed I left the fold-down frame intact for anyone who would like to re-install the bench for passengers. I also removed the fridge/stove/sink unit as I found it senseless and in the way. These can be bought online and re-installed with four bolts if anyone should desire. What you've got here is a mechanically super-sound bus with a no-rust body that drives like a champ. This is hard to find. With a little re-modeling inside you've got that original Westy look.

UAW tactics called into question at VW's TN plant
Thu, 26 Sep 2013The United Auto Workers is in hot water with some of the very workers it is trying to unionize at Volkswagen's Chattanooga assembly plant. According to The Tennessean, eight Volkswagen factory workers have filed complaints against the UAW with the National Labor Relations Board, claiming the union "misled or coerced" them into formally asking for union representation.
The UAW has instituted a major push at the Chattanooga plant to represent the 2,500 hourly laborers that build the VW Passat by using what's called a card-check process. The tactic is opposed by the National Right to Work Legal Defense foundation, the group representing the workers. The card-check process demands that a company recognize a union that obtains the signatures of more than half its workforce, according to The Tennessean. This tactic is in contrast to the more traditional route, which sees employees vote on union representation.
The workers filing the complaint claim that the UAW told them the cards merely called for a secret ballot, rather than an outright demand for union representation. Workers also allege that the UAW has made it overly difficult to reclaim their signed cards, some of which were signed so long ago that they have been rendered invalid. Although the cards can force a company's hand, federal law still allows the company to ask for a secret ballot before yielding to unionized workers.
TRANSLOGIC 150: Volkswagen XL1
Mon, Feb 24 2014How do you build the world's most fuel-efficient production car? Start with the world's most aerodynamic design. The Volkswagen XL1 is capable of 261 miles per gallon thanks to its sleek shape and ultra efficient plug-in diesel hybrid powertrain. The downside is that only 250 will be made and none will be sold stateside. That didn't stop us from taking our turn behind the wheel of this truly revolutionary ride.
Chrysler and Fiat offering $1,000 rebates to VW owners as Marchionne gets tough
Mon, 10 Dec 2012The throw-down between Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne and Volkswagen has heated up in earnest. According to Bloomberg, Fiat and Chrysler are now offering current Volkswagen owners in the US $1,000 rebates to trade in their ride. It's the latest in a series of shots Marchionne has taken at his German rival. As you may recall, the Fiat executive entered into a spat with Volkwagen board chairman Ferdinand Piëch and CEO Martin Winterkorn in October after the duo called for Marchionne's resignation from presidency of the European Automotive Manufacturers Association (AECA). At the time, the Volkswagen executives were quoted as saying Fiat would not survive the European economic downturn.
In response, Marchionne called the German executives "reprehensible," and accused Volkswagen of using a pricing strategy that has created created a "bloodbath" in the EU. Volkswagen has taken to steep discounting to carve out ever-larger slices of market share in Europe, but the company has a much smaller foothold in the US. Marchionne may be trying to hit Volkswagen where the manufacturer is weakest with the new Fiat new incentive program.
Late last week, the Fiat executive was voted to a second term as ACEA president.
