I am selling a 1973 VW Riviera camper bus that is under restoration. This is not your average ratty, dirty backyard mess. The van has a clean title, run and drove great before disassembly and is a solid foundation for a beautiful bus.
It was disassembled with every nut and bolt being bagged and tagged for easy replacement as well as all of the parts. Everything is there including the kitchen sink. The bus was then sandblasted inside and out, top and bottom after being stripped and the cancer spots were removed. The body was then shot with a primer sealer and is currently in the middle of the metal work stage and needs some welding done to be ready for body work. All of the pieces are pre cut and just need to be welded in.
The bus comes with a carbed 2000 cc motor that has new heads, pistons, liners, and seals/gaskets. Also included are new Bosch starter, Bosch alternator, battery, empi header / exhaust, seals, brakes, complete tune up parts and more! The transaxle and arms are included, all of the glass is complete and not cracked or broken, the pop top is very nice and only will need minor fiberglass repair, the seats are great and can easily be rebuilt. All of the engine shroud metal has been sandblasted and primed / painted with high heat engine paint.
This deal is all inclusive and comes with all of the new parts and pieces I have.
This thing is sweet, I simply do not have the time. If you are retired or have the spare time to finish this project this is an ideal head start on a project that will be rewarding.
The bus has a clean title and is neatly stored at my home and is ready to roll. You will need your own truck and a flat bed trailer car trailer with a wench to move this rolling shell vehicle. Buyer is responsible for pick up and I will help with loading if needed.
Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.

VW confirms development of 10-speed dual clutch, 134-hp/liter diesel
Fri, 26 Apr 2013Each year, the Vienna International Motor Symposium showcases some of the up-and-coming technologies automakers are engineering for the use in passenger cars, and Volkswagen AG CEO Martin Winterkorn revealed some big developments VW is working on for its future products. Winterkorn discussed a multi-faceted approach that VW is looking to reduce its fleet fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
Some of the bigger news he discussed included a "high-performance" diesel engine that will produce 134 horsepower per liter and a 10-speed DSG automatic transmission. While no specific applications were mentioned, we can only hope this is for the Audi R4 we keep hearing about.
Another topic he touched on that caused us to perk up our ears was had to do with VW's plug-in hybrid technology. While we know the PHEV versions of the Audi A3 and Porsche Panamera are on the way, Winterkorn also said that these two models will be followed up by Golf, Passat, Audi A6 and Porsche Cayenne plug-in models. Scroll down for a press release highlighting the automaker's future fuel-saving initiatives.
Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy
Wed, 24 Jul 2013J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.
VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad
Mon, 28 Jan 2013
Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.
