1978 Vw Bus Transporter Van on 2040-cars
Aliso Viejo, California, United States
|
Mostly restored and in excellent condition. Daily driver in southern CA, we take this bus anywhere. No problems on trips, freeway traffic, or beach traffic, ... it runs and drives excellent. Everything works. Strong rebuilt engine, goes up hills and mountains easily, had it done at 122k miles. No rust, all solid original with new paint - original color. When painted I had new rubber seals installed on all windows, and had a new windshield installed. New fuel filter, fuel filler neck/ hoses, etc. Only thing this bus could use is new cushioning in the front seat. The seat is deceiving, it looks great on the outside but the padding is shot. We love this bus but must sell to help finish a home transaction. Will buy another down the road.
- 2.0L engine recently rebuilt by Canyon Porsche/Volkswagen - a premium VW specialty shop in Laguna Beach (40 yrs). All Receipts. - Fuel injected, passes tough CA smog test no problem whatsoever - just renewed registration in June and passed first attempt. - 4 speed manual transmission. - No rust, all original panels. The only bad spot on bus is the battery tray, not visible but has corroded in spots. I put a piece of wood under battery so its secure and works great. - Good quality paint job. - Fuel filler neck, filler tubes, and fuel filter are all new, with new locking gas cap. No gas smell in this bus and safe to drive. - Many new and replaced parts over the years, great overall condition. Bus is listed for sale locally as well as ebay so auction will end as soon as sold. Don't hesitate to make offer or arrange to inspect the bus in person, (949) 362-0068 (does not accept text). Over the last couple years I've had many people want to buy this bus, now I must unfortunately sell it. I will be happy to help buyer with shipper or storing bus for up to a month at my house. Thank you for looking. |

Volkswagen Golf voted 2013 European Car of the Year
Tue, 05 Mar 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf just went on sale in Europe, but it is already off to a promising start. Announced as the Geneva Motor Show kicked off, the newest Golf was named European Car of the Year for 2013 in dominating style over cars like the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT86 twins, Volvo V40, Ford B-Max and Mercedes-Benz A-Class.
According to Automotive News Europe, the MkVII Golf won handily over its rivals with a total of 414 votes. The Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT86 received 202 votes finishing in a distant second, while the Volvo V40 (189 votes), Ford B-Max (148 votes) and Mercedes-Benz A-Class (138 votes) round out the top five. The new Golf marks the third Volkswagen product to receive the prestigious award with previous cars including the MkIII Golf and the most recent iteration of the Polo.
Weekly Recap: Diesel scandal continues to fuel VW's woes
Sat, Oct 3 2015Volkswagen's woes continued this week when it was delisted from the Dow Jones Sustainability Index and stripped of awards. Senators are also lining up to advocate for criminal and civil action against the automaker, and its consumer reputation is in tatters. Put simply, it's been another rough period for VW. Despite this, the company eked out a sales gain of less than one percent in September, though that was well behind the overall market's performance. Sister brand Audi, which sells a diesel A3, was less affected, posting a 16-percent gain in September. Revelations that Volkswagen rigged millions of diesel-powered cars around the world didn't surface until September 18, so the full sales impact of the ongoing scandal won't likely be felt until October. Meanwhile, VW's image continues to take a beating, and an AutoPacific survey found only one in 14 vehicle owners have a positive opinion of the company. Before the scandal broke, three-quarters of respondents had a positive view of VW. The survey also found 64 percent don't trust Volkswagen, though the same number believe other companies are or may also be using cheating devices to pass emissions tests. "The reputation of diesels has been severely damaged, at least for the short term," Ed Kim, AutoPacific's vice president of industry analysis, said in a statement. Despite the lingering malaise, experts believe VW will recover, just as Toyota and General Motors eventually emerged from their own high-profile controversies. "Consumers have proven through numerous recalls that they are resilient and quickly return to their buying habits," Kim said. OTHER NEWS & NOTES Mazda to reveal sports car concept in Tokyo Mazda will bring a curvy sports car concept to the Tokyo Motor Show in October. The automaker is being especially coy with the details, only releasing the dark teaser shot that you see to the right and a cryptic statement that suggests the concept "condense[s] Mazda's entire history of sports-car development into a single model." Immediately, speculation abounded this is an RX-7 and RX-8 successor, though Mazda didn't specify what engine the concept will have. Reportedly, the company is still working on rotary engines. Mazda will have a Cosmo Sport 110S on its stand in Tokyo, which pioneered rotary technology in 1967. Read into that what you will.

Volkswagen Golf Variant will make a lovely Jetta SportWagen
Tue, 05 Mar 2013In addition to several other versions of the Golf, Volkswagen is debuting the new Golf Variant (read: wagon) here at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. And if this bigger version of the Golf looks like it might fit right at home in the States, it's because we could possibly see some version of this car as the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here on our shores.
Volkswagen is debuting the Golf Variant with two efficient diesel engines, rated at 110 and 150 horsepower, the smaller of which is good for an impressive 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle (when mated to a six-speed manual transmission). The Golf Variant also gets a version of Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, making it incredibly all-weather capable.
It's a handsome estate, and it wears the new Golf's design language well. We can't say for sure if this car will actually make its way Stateside, but given the fact that the current Jetta SportWagen still rides on the old Golf platform, the odds look to be in our favor.
