Presenting this beautifully restored 1974 Volkswagen Camper Van. I am a very

picky buyer picking only the driest of what's still available. I am having to go

further and further to find one of my strict criteria. This one took me 6 months to

find. She was the perfect candidate. When she was found, She had no evidence of

any previous accidents other than a few small of dings and dents

showing her age.

Work invested; The first step was a complete strip down of the entire interior,

Remove the 1800-cc engine. Remove the entire brake system. Strip all hardware

from the outside. Remove all the glass, remove all the doors, Disassemble the

front doors. Any rust found was ground off or cut out and new metal welded in

place. She was then sanded in several levels of grit to remove the original paint in

preparation of a new coat of prime. Final sanding was taken to a smooth 600

before primer was applied. After several coats of Prime she had a final sand of

1000 making her smooth as a babies bottom. Three coats of the highest quality

paint applied in Cream White Inside and out. The base coat was then sanded with

1000. Time for the Clear! 5 Coats of clear was applied over a four day period, Then

left to harden. The final stages where a sanding of 1000 and then a final sanding of

1500 making her shine! The last and final stage was several

passes of heavy compound to bring out that real mirror shine! In all the paint took

20 days from start to finish. The pop top shell and luggage wrack was removed and

painted with three coats of Alpine white. The wheels where sandblasted primed and

painted with three coats of alpine white. The luggage wrack tie downs were

removed sanded and freshened up with 3 new coat of Galvanize to prevent rust.

All new rubbers were installed for the new windshield, side windows, front door side

window wiper rubbers are new, front door seals, side window seals, louver window

seals rear hatch seal, rear window rubber, and engine compartment door seals

have all been replaced new. Even the small bead rubber for the slider cover and

driver side have been replaced. The engine skirt seal is new as well.

The interior was taken to a local seamstress who uses a heavy stitch and thick

vinyl-imitation leather that will last for many years. Nice smooth calming colors

where used in the interior to induce a warm feel that one should have when

enjoying time away from work with the family. It also has that new car smell as a

result of the renovation. The cabinets where carefully gone through and the proper

fasteners and glue where applied to make them as strong as the day they where

new. Then removed the old worn out laminate and restored with beautiful light

colored White Poplar. Then three coats of clear sealer was sprayed on and wet

sanded with a fine grit for a long lasting satin look. She has three 12 volt Power

supplies installed one in the dash one next to the R&R bed and one on the back for

Laptop or Cell phone recharging. Two New Batteries were installed along with a "1",

"2", "All", "Off" four position battery switch for worry free camping. A

new CD Pioneer player with USB and i Pad connect-ability surround system was

installed with four 6" high quality sound system speakers A new Pop-top three

window tent was installed. The front door handles and ignition switch were replaces

new so all the locks work smoothly from inside and out locking the bus completely

except for the slider which locks from the inside. The engine was completely

disassembled. The case and heads where taken to a local machine shop to be

reconditioned. The cylinders where honed and checked for clearances. The rods

and crank where balanced. The Valves where inspected and reseated, New

Rings, Main bearings and Cam bearings were installed. A Hydraulic camshaft and

lifters were installed for super smooth low maintenance operation. With the

hydraulic valve train she idles like a Swiss time piece. All new gaskets and seals

applied. A complete intake and Weiber Progressive carburetor system was

installed. The fuel tank was removed and replaced with a freshly reconditioned

Tank and new filler Hose. New fuel line from the Tank to the carb along with a new

fuel pump was installed for the smoothest and safest fuel delivery. New Bosch

Mechanical advance Distributor and Electronic ignition replacing the out dated

points for easy starting and maintenance free operation. New cap and Rotor where

installed with 7mm solid core plug wires. She starts one crank Cold or

Warm. She sits and purrrs without missing a beat! The Transmission shifts firmly

into all gears and is super easy to find all the gears with the New Bosch

aftermarket shifter and new shift coupler. A new Bosch clutch was installed with a

freshly turned flywheel and pressure plate to ensure smooth clutch operation. The

Brake system was gone through with all the lines and reservoirs completely

flushed. A new master cylinder, shoes and pads installed for easy braking. She

starts, runs drives and brakes very well. 5 New GOODYEAR 185/70R/14 tires

installed all the way around including the spare. The entire electrical

system was gone through to ensure all lights, turn signals, brake, hazard and

reverse lights, dash lights, indicator lights, interior lights All work perfectly. New

light lenses where installed front and rear, New side marker and license plate lights

were installed. The horn even works! The final step took about a week. I crawled

under her with a pressure washer, wire wheel and wire brushes of various sizes

and completely scrubbed and scraped all the old undercoating and any rust found

from the under carriage. I then treated the whole undercarriage with rust

treatment. I then used a spray on rubberized undercoating under the main body

and used truck bed liner coating under the wheel wells for a hard rust free coating

years to come. In all, I put 6 months of my life and a lot of money to restore this

beauty. No expense was spared. This baby has it all!

I take pride in every bus I create. I strive to create the most user friendly

maintenance free best dream bus that anyone would be proud to own.

I can and will ship her WORLD WIDE! I can have her delivered

safely to the loading docks for a small fee.

8 new cars that are selling below MSRP

Thu, Nov 30 2023

Car shopping has been a frustrating activity for many people in recent years, as strained new car inventories have led to markups and elevated prices across the board. It’s been difficult to find vehicles at anywhere near a reasonable price, and some in-demand models are still listed at a premium today. iSeeCarsÂ’ most recent study looked at several aspects of the new and used vehicle markets and found a handful of models that are selling at a discount Â– a rarity in todayÂ’s world. Most of the vehicles selling below MSRP in October were electric, though the Nissan Armada and Infiniti QX80 made the top eight. To be clear, weÂ’re not talking about huge discounts here Â– the Kia EV6 was selling with the largest discount of 3.1%. The other models on the list include: Kia EV6: -3.1 percent off MSRP Ford F-150 hybrid: -2.8% Hyundai Ioniq 6: -2.7% Nissan Armada: -1.8% Hyundai Ioniq 5: -0.9% VW ID.4: -0.6% Kia Niro EV: -0.3% Infiniti QX80: -0.2% Electric and hybrid vehicles like the Kia and Ford have been selling at a premium for a long time, as they experienced stronger than expected demand and had challenging early production runs. That theyÂ’re now selling at a discount could indicate wavering buyer demand, but itÂ’s too early to start sounding any serious alarm bells. Though some models are getting cheaper, the industry average is still heading in the wrong direction. The average MSRP of new cars sold last month was $42,510, while the average sales price was $46,077. That 8.4% overage is surprising to see so many months after the worst of the pandemic has passed. iSeeCarsÂ’ executive analyst Karl Brauer had a few words of encouragement, however, saying, Â“There are still very few Â‘dealsÂ’ in the new car market. Shoppers looking to pay below MSRP for a new car will have to do their research, but a small number of models can be bought below sticker price.Â” Green Ford Hyundai Infiniti Kia Nissan Volkswagen Car Buying cheap cars

Audi spending an additional $2.5 billion on expansion through 2019

Thu, Jan 1 2015

Every year, it seems the Volkswagen Group announces a new and larger spend to push growth and profit, with Audi a regular recipient of the moolah. That's reasonable, seeing as hauls in 40 percent of Group operating profits. In December last year Audi said it would spend an additional 100 million euros ($122M US) per year through 2018 to develop new models and expand production, targeting 60 models by 2020 and luxury sales leadership. This month Audi said it will boost that by another two billion euros ($2.5B US) over the next five years, for a total outlay of 24 billion euros from 2014 to 2019. Something like 70 percent of those billions will be spent on new models, technology like "connectivity and lightweight construction," and factory expansion at its plants in Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm. Most of the ten models that will plump the lineup to 60 cars will mainly be aimed at the C and D segments, as well as crossovers, the brand's burgeoning portfolio of PHEV models, and all-electric cars that will begin staking ground in the segment. The big spend comes at the same time as Audi is working hard to reduce costs by $2.5 billion to maintain profitability, part of a larger push by VW to cut costs by $6.1 billion by 2017. More than a billion euros will go to new factories in Mexico and Brazil. Work begins on the Mexico plant next year, and when it comes on-line in 2016, Audi's Q5 successor will roll out of its warehouse doors; Audi has already announced it will hire 850 more workers next year in Mexico. When that's done, Mexico's production of German luxury cars will only trail that of Germany, China and the US. The company's Brazil plant will produce the A3 and S3 starting next year, and the brand figures luxury car buying there will triple by 2017.
