1968 Vw Adventure Camper No Reserve on 2040-cars
Dixon, Missouri, United States

1968 VW Adventure Camper NO RESERVE 1st year of the Bay windows. Adventures are getting rarer and harder to find these days, especially the early ones with the upright type 2 motors. 68 to 71. This camper is gutted, but a good start if your looking for an Adventure. Motor was junk and sitting in the cargo area. I've got it and it goes with the bus, with the normal auction. I also have a complete1600 dual port turn key that I just built for another project. It's been bench tested, and the rings just broken in. 140 plus compression all 4 cylinders, AS41 dual relief case, Alternator, Doghouse cooler. Ready to go that will also go with the bus ONLY with the "Buy it now". If the regular auction plays out, then the core motor goes with it, and whatever parts we can find. Cab floor, and walk thru really dry, cargo floor has a spot on it (see pic). I got the brakes up, and they seem to be fine. FG top is in decent condition but needs to be compounded out some where down the line. Right rear corner will need work, but nothing that can't be done while you drive the bus, and is rough but presentable. It's got plywood closing off the 2 rear flat large windows. I have the glass for them and seals are cheap. It's a good bus to start with and collect an interior, finish up body work etc. for it while you drive it and restore it. It does and will need work but the price reflects that. Front end looks great, tires are decent shape, even the spare. Steering is tight. I've blown out my tendon in my right arm and can no longer work on this bus for the next several months so that is why it's going. NO, I can't install the motor, which means it's not a driver. There is a great VW shop less than 30 miles from my house that just specializes in VW's (mostly air cooled) who can not only install the engine for you, and the glass, bleed the brakes etc. if you want to drive it home. I will get it there for you, but, YOU will negotiate price and pay on pickup. I've also got misc. small camper bits lying around that I will just throw in with the bus. Anyway, regular auction price, you get the core motor. Buy it now, get's the rebuilt 1600 dual port. Check engine prices, it's a good package, motor is turnkey and worth more than half of what I'm asking in the "buy it now" Clear title in my name. AS IS, WHERE IS. Once again, I will get it to B&C VW if you want them to finish the installation, otherwise buyer is responsible for pickup. Also, that little rocket of a bug in the background is going up too. Apparently, surgery is expensive these days. |

Volkswagen Tiguan and Touareg take the R-Line
Mon, 14 Jan 2013
Volkswagen's Detroit Auto Show presence is big on utility this year, with the CrossBlue three-row concept vehicle occupying the lion's share of the limelight, both literally and figuratively. But that isn't stopping Volkswagen from lavishing attention on its already established crossover and sport utility vehicles with new R-Line derivatives. The Tiguan and its big brother Touareg are getting a host of look-faster items to increase their sporting appeal.
On the outside, the Tiguan R-Line receives handsome 19-inch alloys peering out from beneath fender extensions, premium lighting (bi-Xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lamps), along with matching side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. On the inside, sportier accommodations include aluminum trim and a flat-bottom steering wheel with paddle shifters. As with other R-Line models, there are no powertrain modifications to go with the more aggressive visuals (that being the province of R standalone performance models like the R32), though the suspension has been firmed up an unspecified amount. The Tiguan R-Line will be available in front- or all-wheel drive configuration.
2014 Volkswagen GTI to start a new hot hatch era in Geneva
Tue, 26 Feb 2013The upcoming Geneva Motor Show is going to be stocked with important new production models and sexy concept cars, but hot hatch enthusiasts will undoubtedly see it as the coming out party of the MkVII Volkswagen GTI. And while we've only got European specifications and pricing to go on for now, we can tell from the get-go that the new GTI will be a proper heir to VW's hot hatch legacy.
This seventh-generation GTI is powered by a turbocharged, direct-injection 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which makes 220 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque in base form. For the first time ever, Volkswagen is also offering a performance pack for the GTI as well, which ups the horsepower to 230 (torque remains unchanged). With a slightly lower curb weight to push around - the new base car weighs 2,978 pounds versus 3,034 for the current three-door GTI - 0-62 miles per hour is now achieved in 6.5 seconds, and top speed is 153 mph. (Cars with the performance pack offer 0-62 mph in 6.4 seconds, and a 155-mph top speed.) Buyers my choose between a six-speed manual transmission or an optional six-speed DSG unit.
Visually, the new GTI has obviously adopted the slant-nosed looks of the MkVII Golf, though with plenty of added drama. The exterior is dominated by the 17-inch "Brooklyn" wheels wearing 225-section rubber, and the aggressive front fascia gets black honeycombed inserts in the upper and lower grille sections. At launch, Volkswagen will offer the GTI in three colors: the Pure White seen here, Tornado Red and Black. Tartan patterned seats are of course still an option for the interior, while the GTI-specific steering wheel and shift knob are standard.
Last VW bus ever made arrives at final destination
Fri, 31 Jan 2014A Brazilian politician tried to save it, unsuccessfully, so the final Last Edition Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi was produced on December 20, 2013 and now resides in a vintage museum at Volkswagen's Commercial Vehicles HQ in Hanover, Germany.
The Volkswagen Microbus was built for 56 years, starting in September 1957. Brazil was the last country still assembling it, but new safety regulations in the country requiring airbags and ABS on all cars spelled the end. When that politician introduced a bill that would pardon only the 'Bus from a death sentence, it couldn't garner the required number of votes for passage. The South American country takes the Kombi production title, though, with 1.5 million of the 3.5 million total made in the home of Copacabana beach and the girl from Ipanema.
The VW Bus is dead. Now perhaps we can turn our attentions to the still-not-totally-settled matter of the Bulli...
