This Bus received a full work up from top to bottom. I will do a rundown of all work performed. I have driven it for over a year now. All finishing work such as paint and suspension etc were all performed within a few months ago. Engine: Engine is original stock 1600 single port. The engine was rebuilt buy the previous owner. They did not detail the tins and components but the motor runs excellent and drips no oil ( if thats possible). I installed an original bosch vacuum distributor I also installed a new carb to air cleaner rubber neck. New Pic 30/31 Solex Oem carb. The battery is new and the voltage reg is a new bosch. The engine is correct and the way it was in 69. The transmission was upgraded with a rebuilt late model trans out of a late 70's bus. It has a better ring and pinion and it shifts smoother too. Much better trans than stock. Suspension: The entire suspension system is new. Front: New Disc Brakes off of a 72 Bus. New rotors calipers and pads. New tie rods. New Ball Joints top and bottom. New drag link, New hoses for brakes New snubbers and sway bar bushings, Kyb Shocks. Basically everything was replaced with New. The Rear: The same with the rear.

Really nice air flow and hard to find. A New deluxe Trim Kit was added to the perimeter of the belt line. It's stunning and really sets this bus off. The glass is in excellent shape on this bus The entire undercarriage was refinished in the stock grey that was used at the factory. It was also primered. A Custom original style stereo was added. At the cost of $240. It looks old but went into the stock uncut dash and it has usb and aux hookup with digital display. Super cool. Alpine front speakers and kicker in the rear speakers under the seat set in original seat base plate. Interior: Way Cool interior custom done by me.

Very cool spiral beads hang over the walk through entrance way. The rear seat was recovered in original smurf print material. The inside is way cool and really takes you back. The custom Hippy print curtains also set this bus way off. Back to driving. This bus drives absolutely excellent. It tracks straight at 65 and never lets up. Suspension is better than new and is super reliable turnkey everytime. I have added 4 new white wall tires, mounted on original 15" Vw rims off an early split window. There is also a spare with original Vw Cover. The original jack is also included. All guages work and all functions work too. I installed a custom Tach mounted to the dash.

MindDrive cruises California with 1972 Karmann Ghia EV
Thu, Jun 26 2014If you need a bit of inspirational EV goodness, spend some time watching the collection of videos we've got for you from Minddrive. Minddrive, as you might remember, is the education mentorship program that "uses real-world issues of our times to teach urban students critical thinking, creativity, entrepreneurship and how to improve their future by expanding their vision for themselves." The focus was on a fully restored 1972 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. Well, restored and converted to electric power. The students previously worked on the Lola EV but this year the focus was on a fully restored 1972 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. Well, restored and then converted to electric power. In early June, almost 50 Minddrive students and mentors flew from Kansas City to California to visit the epicenter of electric vehicles in the US on something called the "Raise Your Hand Tour." Filmmakers Mark Honer and Kelly Creech from DHTV Digital were along for the ride. The videos below show the students flying from to Oakland, crossing the Golden Gate Bridge, presenting the Karmann Ghia at the California Academy of Sciences and then visiting the Monterey Bay EV Club, Google, Twitter and Telsa. All of this EV engagement apparently worked. One of the students, identified only as Xavier, wrote a poem and essay about what the electric vehicle project meant to him. Here's a tease: "Minddrive has honestly opened my eyes to sights and things I would have never thought possible. I have finally found the right path to follow."

I used to think that I would never be able to achieve to a greater rank. Always thought that power was given to people with a big bank. Never could imagine that my life would be amazing. Felt that my whole existence was around the weed blazing.
VW Golf Sportsvan succeeds Golf Plus in Frankfurt
Sun, 08 Sep 2013
Just ahead of this week's Frankfurt Motor Show, Volkswagen has announced the world premiere of its Golf Sportsvan, a near-production concept that succeeds its Golf Plus. VW describes this compact family car as "one of the most versatile vehicles of the compact class," noting that it offers a mix of hatchback and minivan features in a sporty package.
That sportiness comes from the Sportsvan's styling (perhaps more sleek wagon than minivan) and performance features it shares with the Golf GTI - including the XDS+ electronic differential lock, which is integrated into the Electronic Stability Control system to improve agility. At the same time, the Sportsvan's six engine options, which include a turbodiesel, are up to 19-percent more fuel-efficient than their predecessors.
VW budget sub-brand stuck in limbo over VW standards, costs
Sun, Mar 2 2014Reports in October 2012 claimed Volkswagen had begun investigating the creation of its own budget brand. This came after having failed to purchase Malaysian car company Proton or produce a meaningful partnership with Suzuki, and after watching Renault-Nissan make piles of euro on Dacia and plot the return of Datsun. For VW, more important than the question of what to call it was how to build it profitably and in a way that didn't damage the VW brand. According to a report in Autocar, a satisfactory answer still hasn't been found. The hurdle is how to hit "'necessary' quality and safety levels" at the price points needed to make the venture worthwhile. At the time of the 2012 report, German outlet Der Spiegel said VW was trying to get prices down to 6,000 to 8,000 euro ($7,784 to $10,379 US), about two thousand to four thousand euro under the price of the VW Up and in line with the cost of a 6,790-euro Dacia Sandero in Germany. In March 2013, VW announced, "We want to bring a true budget car to the market in China in the foreseeable future," the most concrete move in that direction after years of planning to make a decision. Working with local Chinese maker FAW, it was predicted that the vehicle in question would appear around 2016, but as of November last year a final vote on it needed to wait until this year because "We are still working on the cost side" and profit possibilities for a car that "has to be durable, it has to be precise, it has to be safe." Even Fiat, another automaker long considering a budget brand beneath its Fiat line-up, wasn't sure how to squeeze any extra money from lower-cost products but was sure that it couldn't be done by manufacturing in Europe. If VW hasn't yet made the math work with a joint venture in China, it will be interesting to see how it might build a European go-it-alone business case.
