1969 VW Bus Westfalia This is a unique one of a kind custom restored bay window bus. We purchased and restored this one owner NEVADA bus (for my son who is 18) that is now off to college and needs a car with a/c. Our loss is your gain. Bummed but certainly not desperate. This is a super clean and straight, safe and solid 98% restored bus. This is a "TOP 20 of Show" winner and a very reliable daily driver. It has an original Nevada title and hence has little to no rust issues. Bus has current Nevada registration and Nevada tags. Camper pop-top was removed for a "beachy hard-top classic look". This Bus also has a new custom interior by Gene Gonzalez along with a state of the art sound system complete with blue tooth and a 10" base box that rocks. Photos speak for themselves. We (Me, my son and his Uncle) spent nearly 2 years rebuilding and restoring this bus. Basically went through each and every aspect of it and either renewed or replaced with new OEM parts. Too many to list but we do have most all receipts and records. New parts and components list available upon request for any and all serious buyers. PAINT/ BODY This one owner bus was stripped down to the shell, media blasted and then given a professional 2 stage window out paint job by Premier Auto Customs with no orange peel (There is small dings on back left corner. Nothing a bit of touch up paint couldn't fix). The bus was repainted the classic two tone look using the original VW Montana Red and off-white. Under carriage was sand blasted and we addressed the minimum rust issues it had. We then prepped and painted it as well. Installed over $300 in dyna-mat alone. Original chrome bumpers, detailed front beam , all new suspension, shocks, cv joints, brake lines and much, much more. All window & door seals were replaced with OEM German seals. Custom white european dash (cracking near the bottom by the parking brake) and hand painted steering wheel and brand new windshield too. Mom even made us add a deluxe custom frontal impact roll cage to the interior for her baby boys safety. INTERIOR This interior is a custom Gene Gonzalez design. The front seats were taken apart, re-stuffed and reupholstered. All seats have custom seat belts, no rips and are in near mint condition. All cabinets have been taken out and the bench seat has been extended to both sides. All interior panels were replaced with matching white panels. Custom white headliner too. ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION Completely re-built 1600. Was a single port that we converted to dual port. New carb, distributer, alternator, battery, fly wheel , muffler exhaust, etc, etc. Painted the tins to match the bus. See Photos link above So as you can tell this is not your average '69 Westfalia Bus. This bus is in excellent condition with little to no rust. This was a full two year restoration. This bus has been garaged. Interior is in amazing shape and brand new. However,the bus still needs a couple of things. Namely a clock in the dash, rear view mirror, heater knobs and assorted knick knack stuff. This bus is a time capsule that you just don't see every day. This bus would be the perfect center piece for any VW collection. This bus can be used for car shows and or a daily driver. Feel free to call with additional questions. I have pictures before and after the restore. Come drive this sweet piece of nostalgia! Serious buyers only /or call/text to Steven Brooks (702-466-4805) |

VW reveals Outback-rivaling Golf Alltrack ahead of Paris
Wed, 24 Sep 2014The Volkswagen Passat Alltrack is getting a baby brother at this year's 2014 Paris Motor Show in the form of a new Golf Alltrack. Like its larger sibling, the little wagon is supposed to offer light-duty off-road driving ability combined with a more rugged look to show it off.
To give the Golf Alltrack that soft-road ability, VW is outfitting the wagon with its latest 4Motion all-wheel drive system from Haldex. The setup can decouple power from the rear-axle when not needed to save fuel. To further improve traction, the Alltrack gets VW's electronic differential lock, and the car can individually brake its inside wheel during hard cornering for better handling.
Volkswagen also wants the Alltrack to be able to visually show that it can handle getting away from the pavement, even though it starts life as a standard Golf wagon. That means jacking up the suspension an extra 0.75 inches and adding black moldings all the way around the car. There are also redesigned bumpers for the front and rear and silver underbody protection, plus new accents like anodized roof rails and silver mirror caps. The interior is essentially unchanged from the wagon, except for altered trim and Alltrack badges.
Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Mercedes also under diesel emissions scrutiny
Sat, Oct 10 2015The controversy over Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal isn't limited to the US. In Europe, where diesel engines are far more popular, the issue is shining a harsh light on the NEDC emissions test. As already known, the evaluation does a poor job of reflecting real-world production of NOx, and it appears a significant number of automakers are affected. The Guardian in the UK has been reporting on real-world test results from a company called Emissions Analytics. After the latest round of checks, vehicles from Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Mazda and Mitsubishi were found to generate far more NOx than they should. The newspaper also published similar results for Renault, Nissan, Hyundai, Fiat, Volvo, Jeep, Citroen, VW, and Audi. On average, the figures are about four times over the limit of producing the pollutant. Unlike VW and its defeat device, these automakers aren't actually breaking the rules. The vehicles perform up to the NEDC lab test for emissions, but those results simply aren't translated to the street. "The VW issue in the US was purely the trigger which threw light on a slightly different problem in the EU - widespread legal over-emissions," Nick Molden from Emissions Analytics said to The Guardian. A big fight to decide the future of this issue appears to be on the horizon. Automakers claim that they can't meet the next round of tightening emissions regulations and are asking for compromises. Although, spokespeople for Mercedes and Honda told The Guardian that the brands would be in favor of the stricter rules. Meanwhile, some European governments began backtracking their support of diesels well before this scandal came to light. The added scrutiny certain hasn't helped the future of the oil-burner.

2015 VW Golf R ready for your pre-order on January 8
Mon, Dec 22 2014If 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.
