Mint Condition ,museum quality 1978 Riviera. Rebuilt 2 fuel injected hydraulic valve motor. Mint interior (all original). I picked this van up from the 2nd owner. The van has only been driven sparingly a couple times a year to family outings and local festivals, and camping / road trips. The van has been garaged since 1978. This van has only 95k original miles. Absolutely ZERO RUST!!! The van looks looks like it just rolled of the show room floor in 1978 say for a few rock ships, minor nicks ect. Both the first and second owners were meticulous when it came to the maintenance and general care and preservation of the van. Garaged since new, no really, garaged since new... One key fits all locks. Stored for many years. Runs, drives, perfect. One of the best, if not the best original Rivieras in the country.... Way to much to list.

PAINT/ BODY- 100% Original paint in near mint condition. Sought after Neptune Blue. No paint work ever.... I sand blasted and repainted the bumpers and wheels. Wheels were painted to the factory correct silver finish. Never wrecked. Body and door gaps perfect. This van looks as good as it did when it rolled of the factory floor in 1978. All the pin striping is original on both the body and pop top. The pin stripe colors give it a classic, vintage look. All lenses are perfect. Spotless under carriage. Factory under coating is in great condition. Zero cancer rust

POP TOP- The pop top is in great condition, The original canvas is in excellent condition. The screen is in mint condition with no tears. Upper bunk upholstery is in mint condition.

INTERIOR- This interior is in like new mint condition. The Rivieras came with factory front seat covers that match the rear z bed upholstery, The original seat upholstery underneath is in mint condition. All, cabinets are mint, no chips, cracks, scuffs ect., carpet is mint with absolutely no wear. All dome lights, dash lights, camping lights work. Dash is mint with no cracks, mats all look new, pop top in great shape with no rips. Heater works great. All electrical works perfect. Original cup holder and cutting board. Head liner, door panels are mint (the entire interior in mint original condition). The rear bed is a full size bed. One feature unique to the Riviera is that you can fold down one side of the bed so one passenger can be laying down , the other can be in the sitting position. Very nice dual storage bins mounted under the Z bed that are on rollers and slide out. Nice 80's stereo and speakers. Although the stereo (tape deck) is old its sounds great.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION-
This bus has only 95,000 original miles. Rebuilt motor and transmission. The 2 liter fuel injected motor that runs perfect with plenty of power. The motor was rebuilt due to the van not being driven on a regular basis so the original owner had replaced engine seals and refreshed the motor while it was out. New fuel filter, repacked wheel bearings, plugs, cap rotor, fresh oil change, new clutch pressure plate, throw out bearing. New muffler, cold start regulator, new engine seal, battery. (Bus runs, drives, shifts, stops perfect.) This bus is ready for cross country driving.

OTHER-
Brand new tires, all new paint on wheels and bumpers, tachometer, The floor boards look excellent. Has factory under coating, Under carriage is dry and spotless clean. The hard to find factory window screens are in mint condition. Custom tye-dye curtains installed correctly on factory track system. Original jack, manuals, newer brakes front and rear. All dash, dome, (all electrical works perfect.)

This is not your average Riviera. This bus is in near mint museum quality collector condition. This is as close as you can get to a brand new 78 Riviera as you can get. The original owners took amazing care of this van. The van has only been driven sparingly since new. This bus has always been garaged since new, no really garaged since new..... Interior is in amazing shape and in mint original condition. This bus is a time capsule that you just don't see every day, NO RUST, no wrecks in over 30 years! 1979 was the last year of air cooled bay windows. 2 liter fuel injected motor. 1978-79 buses with the 2 liter hydraulic motor are the most sought after bay windows due to the power, modern fuel injection, and economical gas mileage. 95k original miles. This is one of the finest bay window campers on the market and one best in the country. This van would be the perfect center piece for any VW collection. This van came out of my personal collection. Feel free to call with additional questions. Be sure to check out the 114 additional pictures on the photo bucket link above. The pictures speak for them selves....

2015 VW Golf R ready for your pre-order on January 8

Mon, Dec 22 2014

If you want to be the first person on your block with Volkswagen's latest Golf R parked in your garage, you need to clear some time from your schedule on January 8. On that day, VW is opening the pre-order books for the first 500 Stateside examples of the new hot hatch, and they come with some neat accessories, too. Don't worry about specing just the right Golf R because all 500 early models are identical. In addition to the obvious 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with 292 horsepower 280 pound-feet of torque and 4Motion all-wheel drive, the six-speed dual-clutch gearbox is the only option here. Every one of these hot hatches comes in Lapiz Blue Metallic paint with 19-inch wheels covered in summer performance tires. Based around the DCC and Nav trim, each of them also has VW's adaptive damper system, bi-xenon headlights with LED running lights, a Fender audio system, parking sensors and navigation. Beyond just being the first ones to own VW's latest hot hatch in the US, the deal for these 500 folks also includes a Volkswagen R watch, carbon fiber and stainless steel keychain and a certificate. All three items are serialized to match the VIN of the buyer's Golf R. The total price for each one of these 500 Golf R's is $39,090, plus $820 destination and delivery. But potential buyers don't have to come up with all of that on January 8. They just need to visit VW's Golf R site and pay a $500 reservation fee to get in line, which goes toward the purchase of the car. The money is refundable for anyone who backs out, and any additional orders are put on a waiting list in case of any cancelations.

Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow

Thu, 17 Jan 2013

A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.

10 best new car deals of November 2021

Thu, Nov 4 2021

Sales of new cars, trucks and SUVs were drastically affected in 2020 due to the (still) ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The market started to show signs of recovery toward the end of last year before really coming on strong in the early months of 2021. Of course, then pandemic-related parts and worker shortages along with global shipping constraints started running amok and causing a great deal of pricing fluctuation and a limited supply of certain vehicles. Those problems (among other things) have led to record-high new-car transaction prices in the United States. The good news is that there are still plenty of great deals on new cars. Using data provided by TrueCar, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best automotive deals for November 2021. WeÂ’ve noted the original MSRP, the average transaction price, and the total savings in both dollars and as a percentage of the original sticker price. Basically, weÂ’ve done all the hard work for you! So now, all you need to do is compare deals, go on a few test drives, and maybe drive away in a great car (and an even better bargain).
