This 79 Camper was recently pulled out of a retired VW Mechanics shop where it has sat on his lift since 1997. About 10 years ago he pulled the motor and had the heads rebuilt after dropping a valve on the freeway. The bottom end of the motor was rebuilt by him about 8,000 miles before that. Looking at the motor the heads look NEW but the motor case is a little dirty and you can tell that it has had some mile on it since it was rebuilt. He never finished the install and has not fired since he put it back together. We finished the install, replaced some fuel lines, flushed the tank several times until we weren't getting any more junk out of it, replaced the battery, put on new german factory exhaust and she fired right up. We also replaced the tires and refinished the wheels while the tires were off. We sent off a few cushions on the inside and had them reupholstered using the original fabric from the back bed cushion and had it recovered with matching vinyl. The entire interior was cleaned meticulously including pulling the rear seat and pressure washing the carpet. The carpet does show signs of wear and an all weather carpet mat was cut and installed over the original carpet. The bus shows 33,000 on the odometer which I am told is really 133,000 miles. The interior has some scuffs here and there and some of the paneling is cracked but all in all it is very clean and everyone who sees it is amazed that it is all original. All of the T-molding on the edges of tables and cabinets was replaced but we couldn't locate the smaller T-molding where the cabinets come together so there is some molding that is a little warped from age. A new PGW windshield was installed along with a new rubber gasket. Front mat was removed as were the front seats and everything scrubbed, cleaned and waxed. The tent top is in great shape with some marks and scuffs. The bug screen has a couple of small holes but is very nice. The exterior of the bus was completely rubbed out using a heavy cut cleaner and waxed. There are a couple of small dents and dings that can be seen in the pics. Very little rust on this bus with the exception of the rear wheel wells, 2 holes in the battery tray the size of a quarter and a couple of small rust spots in the doglegs. There were several spots on the surface of the paint that had bad rust spots and when these were polished out we had to rub through the paint into the primer but they are not noticeable from 5 to 10 feet away. This bus drives very nice. Brakes work great but just today it developed a squeak in the right front. I plan to pull the wheel and clean the pads as the pads and rotors look new. This bus is original paint with the exception of the nose. It was painted years ago and is slightly off on color. The bumpers have also been repainted with white semi gloss single stage. I haven't checked any of the plumbing to see if it works and I have NOT fired the stove. Checking the plumbing and propane fittings will be left up to the new owner. This thing has a SWEET tape deck, amp, and 8 speakers. Sounds Great for as old as it is. Sold AS IS, WHER IS. Will be happy to meet your shipper. I have put about 500 miles on this bus in the last week and have had zero problems with it except for a squeak or two from the right front brake pads. Email or call with questions. Thanks Jeremy (208)200-6053

Translogic 171: EV West Karmann Ghia Electric Conversion

Wed, Feb 25 2015

Translogic checks out EV West, one of the world leaders in electric vehicle conversions. Host Jonathon Buckley interviews EV West owner Michael Bream and test drives a converted 1969 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. What drives EV West to electrify classic cars may surprise some. "We're not doing this because we're the hardcore environmentalists or we're trying to save the earth," says Bream. "If we can't at least double your horsepower and torque, we won't touch the car." In fact, EV West brings a race-tested performance pedigree to back up those boasts. The company competed in the electric class at Pikes Peak, has run through the desert at Baja, and in general has successfully proved that battery-electric vehicles can compete at a high level.

2018 Buick Regal TourX vs. wagon competitors: How it compares on paper

Wed, Jan 31 2018

To the great joy of auto enthusiasts nationwide, wagons are back! Well, at least there's a few more of them. The latest is the 2018 Buick Regal TourX, which we just had our first drive of and found to actually be quite good with pleasant handling, solid power and plenty of space. But, how does the TourX compare to other cladded wagons? Well, let's dive into the specs and fire up the ol' spreadsheet maker for Buick Regal TourX vs Subaru Outback vs Audi A4 Allroad vs VW Alltrack vs Volvo V60 Cross Country. True, some are from mainstream brands and others are from luxury marques, but Buick straddles both realms, so it's appropriate to look at them all. Of course, there's more to these cars than just the numbers, but they're still important, and in the case of this class of crossover-aping wagons, can vary more than you'd expect. So check out the specs in the chart below, which are followed by more analysis and photos of each. Discover and compare other wagons and crossovers with our Car Finder and Compare tools. Engines and Transmissions When comparing powertrains, the Buick is far-and-away the winner as far as torque is concerned, and is in a nearly three-way tie for horsepower. Its 295 pound-feet of torque is 22 lb-ft more twist than the next-most-grunty Audi A4 Allroad. And in regards to power, the Buick's 250-horsepower engine is only down 6 hp to the most-powerful Subaru and its optional naturally aspirated flat-six, and just 2 hp less than the Audi. At the bottom of the pack is the Subaru Outback with the standard naturally aspirated flat-four, which only makes 174 hp and 174 lb-ft of torque. That may not seem too bad compared with the VW Golf Alltrack, which only makes 170 hp and 199 lb-ft of torque, but the VW is much lighter by between 200 and 300 pounds. Transmission-wise, there's quite a bit of variation in the group. The Regal TourX and the Volvo V60 Cross Country rely on eight-speed automatics, all Outbacks use CVTs, and the Alltrack and Allroad have dual-clutch automated manual transmissions with six and seven gears, respectively. But for people that want to shift for themselves, the only option is the Volkswagen, which offers a traditional six-speed manual transmission on the Golf Alltrack. Cargo and Interior Space One of the main reasons to buy a wagon is for the body style's large cargo capacity. And for the most space for things and stuff, you'll want to check out the Subaru and the Buick.
