This head-turner VW Camper Bus named Charlie has been entirely restored to premium status as dependable daily driver is perfect for beach outings, camping trips, or just going out for ice cream or to the drive-in.  Charlie gets more positive attention than new convertible sports cars- "Dude, that's so sweet!" - and he never disappoints in performance or esthetics.  Charlie was completely restored with the following:


Mechanical- Rebuilt 1600 engine with only 24,000 miles on this engine - can easily drive 75 mph on interstate highways without even a burp.  Extremely dependable!
new carburetor
new electrical wires
new belts and hoses
new brakes
new shocks
new steering and shifting linkage - very smooth
new dual batteries with charging transducer to home wall power

Exterior- Stripped and repainted with original VW antique white (actually tan) paint color- dry San Diego weather has been kind to Charlie with very few small rust spots !
new vinyl camper tent with 3 windows
new tires
new turn signals

Interior- THE best looking beach/camper ever!
1. New upholstery for all seats, sleeper cushion, and spare tires cover
2. Sand and dirt friendly wood patterned and textured vinyl flooring (easy to sweep out)
3. CD player with removable faceplate and 6x9 speakers rock the party out
4. Rear seat folds down easily with ratchet action into double bed
5. New vinyl camper top with 3 zipper windows pops up with mounted folding cot for additional 2nd floor sleeping (fun!)
6. Seating with seat belts for 8 passengers (only 2 belts in the original!)
7. Ceramic glass tile center and side tables with color coordinated wooden and rope trim
8. New glove box and locking padded center console with 2 expanding cup holders and mounted 110 volt power station to rear batteries
9. Loads of storage under side table and all underneath all seats
10. Best of all - the insulated and bacteria/mold resistant palapas thatch headliner and interior walls

Limitations- Very few for a 43 year-old vehicle - why Charlie is so awesome!
Needs new door and window seals yet no leaks - dry and mild SoCal sun still does a number on 43 year-old rubber
Doesn't accelerate or corner like Lighting McQueen. Charlie sounds and drives more like Fillmore - imagine that...he's a VW camper!

VW delivers first XL1 in Germany

Mon, Jun 9 2014

Volkswagen has delivered the first XL1 diesel plug-in hybrid to a customer from Berlin, Germany. Dr. Christian Malorny received his Oryx White XL1 with black and grey interior from Volkswagen Germany's director of sales and marketing for passenger cars, Thomas Zahn, at the company's Transparent Factory in Dresden. The super-efficient XL1, which first debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, is powered by a 0.8-liter, two-cylinder TDI engine and electric motor, with electricity supplied by a 5.5-kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a seven-speed DSG transmission. With a curb weight of 1,753 pounds and a drag coefficient of just 0.189, the XL1 is rated at 261 miles per gallon on the lenient European cycle. It is capable of traveling solely on electric power for up to 31 miles. "The XL1 has inspired me from the beginning and I am very pleased to now be driving my own," said Malorny, (translated). "With its visionary design and high-tech appearance, Volkswagen has dared something new and innovative." The futuristic XL1 seats two passengers, and can carry 4.2 cubic feet of cargo. It features a carbon fiber reinforced plastic body, and a low center of gravity. It is diminutive of stature, as you can see in the photo, measuring 153.1 inches long, 65.6 inches wide, and just 45.4 inches tall. It is being billed as the world's most efficient production car, but it's unlikely Dr. Malorny will be making his money back on fuel savings any time soon; despite the first sale and the vehicles appearing on the German VW site, Volkswagen has not officially announced the price tag for the XL1. In the past, we've heard it will cost approximately $145,000. Only 250 are being produced.

UAW angered over VW workers getting right to defend anti-union vote

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

The United Auto Workers have called a decision by the National Labor Relations Board allowing anti-UAW employees at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga the right to defend voting down unionization at the plant "an outrage."
You'll recall that the union was defeated by a vote of 712 to 626 in a contentious February election. The UAW claims the outcome was unfairly swayed by pro-business, anti-union forces, including Senator Bob Corker and political advocate Grover Norquist.
This new decision by the NLRB essentially gives workers backed by the anti-UAW National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation and Southern Momentum a formal voice in the impending hearing on the UAW's appeal of the vote.

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.
