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. |

A keen angler recently went to Polish tuner Carlex Design (the same folks who did that steampunk Mini Countryman a while back) for a revamp of his Volkswagen Multivan. What resulted is perhaps the most striking - yet fishing-unfriendly - interior we've ever seen in a van. Below the shoulder line, if a surface isn't covered in cross-stitched Alcantara, then it's covered in cross-stitched leather. Even the steering wheel airbag boss. And the seat supports. And the cupholders.
The brown hue of the Multivan's interior is called Criollo, named for an especially fine specimen of cocoa. The finishing touch on the overhaul is a fileting knife that Carlex made for the owner. We imagine he'll use the knife for the marine life, but keep his van far away from it.

Volkswagen looks to be getting ready to jump into the large three-row crossover game. The automaker has officially pulled back the curtain on the CrossBlue Concept at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show.
Designers and engineers penned the machine specifically for the Canadian and US markets, and with a plug-in diesel electric hybrid drivetrain, the hulking five-door, at least in concept form, should offer substantially better efficiency than anything else on the market. The drivetrain pairs a 2.0-liter turbo diesel four-cylinder engine with two electric motors for a combined output of 305 horsepower and a ludicrous 516 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed dual-clutch gearbox handles shifting detail, while one electric motor spins the front wheels. The second motor spins the back axle independently, make the CrossBlue a through-the-road hybrid.
As a result, the crossover can pop to 60 mph in 7.2 seconds. Perhaps more impressively, the CrossBlue can whir around on all-electric propulsion for up to 14 miles at up to 75 mph. Once the diesel four kicks in, the drivetrain can yield up to 39 mpg, though Volkswagen says the hardware can hit 89 MPGe on a full charge thanks to a 9.8 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Check out the full press release below for more information.

Volkswagen once set out to pass Toyota and General Motors and become the largest automaker in the world. Following months of fallout from the diesel emissions scandal, the manufacturer is rumored to be dropping around 40 models from its company-wide lineup. According to German business and finance publication Handelsblatt, the Volkswagen Group is looking to slim down and remove a number of low-volume vehicles from various lineups. The company currently sells around 340 models across brands that include Audi, Lamborghini, and Bentley. Volkswagen is refusing to comment, but Handelsblatt claims to have sources within the company. Last week, Volkswagen Group CEO Matthias Muller announced a new strategy for the company that includes a major focus on electric vehicles and new technology services. During his announcement, Muller said the company would be cutting a number of models, but at the time no numbers, models, or brands were discussed. Despite comments to the contrary, rumors have persisted since late last year that Volkswagen was looking to sell commercial truck and bus manufacturer MAN. Volkswagen owns truck and bus manufacturer Scania, so even if it dropped MAN, the company would still have a foothold within the bus and truck market. There is also talk of the company selling Italian motorcycle manufacturer Ducati, which Volkswagen acquired via Audi in 2012. The company's image has taken a huge hit in the wake of the diesel scandal. Volkswagen has set aside cash in order to pay fines and may be looking to sell these several subsidiaries and cut low-volume models in order offset the costs. Despite the scandal, the company led worldwide sales in the first quarter of 2016. The same was true in 2015, but sales tanked at the end of the year following the diesel revelations.
