This Bus is in great condition especially for the year. It is mostly original except the interior has been partially redone and the stove and sink have been removed and the stereo is aftermarket. Its was repainted (the original color) some years back and still looks good. I'm going to give you details about everything I can. I will also supply detailed photos of everything important.

The Exterior:

The bus is in great shape. It has spent most of its life in New Mexico in the desert and has no significant rust since its been in a very dry climate. It was painted by the previous owner about 7 years ago from what I am told. It was repainted the original color so the door jams and interior paint match up well. There are small imperfections, dents and scratches but nothing significant or easily noticeable. This bus is almost 40 years old and in amazing condition for the age. It has been stored inside since I've had it except the last 6 months has been stored outside because I moved and don't have a garage anymore ( this is the reason I'm selling her). All the glass is intact and the door open and close with ease. All the locks work with the same key but one the drivers lock is not working right now. The key turns in the lock but it doesn't seem to be connected to the lock itself. I think it would be an easy fix and I'll look at it and edit this add if i can. 

The interior:

This interior looks really nice. Its has been modified from the original interior. The stove and sink have been remover and a wood floor has been installed. The seats have been reupholstered except the bed in the pop up which is in really good shape. This canvas on the pop top is whole but is brittle from sun on the side. I didn't replace it because it's fully functional but will eventually need to be replaced. A really nice stereo has been installed with new speakers in the front and back (i haven't wired in the back speakers but have all the necessary parts to complete the job. This stereo also plays dvd but you need to put a monitor somewhere. The kick panel in the front have also been replaced by the last owner but doesn't fit as well as the original but looks okay. The inside of the glove compartment is missing but the door is whole and works fine.

The Engine:

The engine is the flat 4 Cylinder 2.0 Liter that I believe is original. It runs strong and the transmission shifts smoothly. There is a sound that only occurs when the transmission is disengaged which I had a transmission mechanic to look at. He said that eventually I should replace the clutch and throw bearing if the sound gets any worst. He told me it's fine to drive and it not damaging my transmission. There is a secondary battery but Is dead and disconnected and have no idea how or if it functions. I just run the regular battery and leave the secondary untouched. The mileage listed is as stated on gauge but turns over at 100K so I would assume its 131k but really no idea.


The Good:

The bus is in great shape and could be easily restored into a show car or left as a daily driver or used for camping trip. It doesn't have any significant rust which is remarkable for it age but it seem the ocean or many salty roads. It drives and shifts better that any other bus I've ever driven. They all seem to be a little finicky but this one it really straight forward and relatively easy to drive. Everything functions well and could be a everyday driver the day of purchase. The light and turn signals works as they should. The glass is all good. there is really nothing that would prevent daily driving.

The Bad:

This is a 37 year old vehicle so not everything look brand new. There are small imperfection in the interior and exterior. The emergency lights don't work and I have no idea why and have never tried to fix. The canvas and clutch will need to be replaced but could be fine for a few years. It needs seals put on the Pop top and there is a crack in the corner which is shown in the pictures. This bus does have room for improvement but is in amazing condition given the age.




I have set what I think is a low reserve for the vehicle.

Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members.

Trump reportedly says he wants to wipe German cars off the U.S. map

Thu, May 31 2018

BERLIN/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.

Porsche 911 with VW turbodiesel prepares for LeMons assault

Fri, 21 Mar 2014

LeMons racing is a wonderful example that setting limits can actually breed creativity. The series mandates that all entries must cost $500, not counting safety equipment, and that cap forces teams to be ingenious in how they build a racecar. Take for example this diesel-powered Porsche 911, which its creators have dubbed Ferkel the Nein-11, that will be racing in the Sears Pointless race this weekend in Sonoma, California.
This Frankenstein combines a 911 chassis that was originally bought just for its European powertrain and a Volkswagen TDI diesel engine mounted in the rear. After deciding the shell could still be of some use, the team decided to go racing. "We began brainstorming what replacement drivetrain to use for maximum offense and there was really only one answer: a diesel," said Philipp von Weitershausen, one of the team captains, to Jalopnik. They bought a 1998 Jetta TDI on the cheap and started figuring out a way to hack the engine into the bay. To pay respect to the donor, the VW's trunk was highly modified (and drilled) and grafted onto the back of Ferkel.
This team isn't a newcomer to LeMons. Its last car was a classic VW Beetle with a Subaru engine and dual controls, named Ferdinand the Bug, which could be driven from the left or right side. It's quite a sight.
