Hi, I am offering our '71 camper for sale. Due to an upcoming relocation we can no longer keep "Hannah" and she needs a new caretaker. She's been good and treated us well, she's not perfect but I think a fine, solid good running bus. I'll start w/ mechanicals, tires have plenty of tread left, they're quiet, smooth and have good grip. Up front the calipers, pads and brake lines are about a yr old, at the rear, drums shoes, hoses, hardware and just recently new wheel cylinders. KYB shocks about 2yrs old fr &rear. The front suspension is solid, steers smoothly and tracks straight. The clutch is strong and the trans shifts perfectly. The motor is the famous dual port 1600. I just had the valves adjusted and compression tested a hair under 140lb equally on all 4 cylinders. The motor is strong and sports a brand new weber IDF 40mm carb and a complete tuneup. Currently there is a header w/ a Kadron pipe on it which sounds nice (to me). For others I am including the original bus exhaust which is like new that I can install for you along w/ the original bumper. I also have the original air filter ass'y and vacuum regulator for the dual port distributor which I am currently using as a single. I also have a nos 009 distributor and a few jet selections for the carb depending on your altitude and driving requirements. This motor is solid and runs well, starts well even at 25deg this past winter, and drove thru fairly deep snow no problems, w/ excellant heat! Truly! after 15min @ highway speed the cabin was comfy and windshield clear!......On to the rest, the body is solid, it's not perfect, but the photos show the picture, there is a slight dent in the rear hatch that could prolly be popped out, there is very very slight beginnings of surface rust at various points, the most obvious on the sliding door. But guess what? I'm including a replacement sliding door in the same color! I just never got to swap it out. There is no stove, sink or ice box. They we're removed a long time ago, I think to make room and open up the cabin a bit. The top goes up and down smoothly, the flap zippers operate smoothly, there is a minor tear in the left side tent screen but a little patching should work there. The mattress cushions for up top sleeping are real nice as well as the pull out bench down below. The rear most cushion is gone as that was always the spot for the "stuff". The milk crate behind the drivers seat was for our dog. All in I like how it drives, it's great at the beach and in the hills, it hauls everything. All the locks work, all the lights work, the heat works, the tent is good, the engine is strong, the wipers work, everything. It needs a little cosmetic attention and a radio. I think there's a 1/2 tank of gas, throw your stuff in, turn the key and go. Any questions? feel free any time before 10pm est @ 516-978-5634. My name is Joe and I'll help any way I can, Thanks! I think the starting price to be fair w/ no reserve. A $500 deposit will secure the deal upon completion of auction

2014 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible gets the R-Line treatment
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Volkswagen just launched the topless Beetle Convertible at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November, but we're already seeing the next step forward in the topless Bug range with this, the R-Line. We'll admit, this treatment falls under the "all show and no go" category, but it's still a pretty potent little cutie.
The R-Line starts with a standard Beetle Turbo Convertible but adds unique 19-inch aluminum wheels on lower-profile tires, LED daytime running lamps and Xenon headlamps. Naturally, there are R-Line badges aplenty both on the interior and exterior, and we must say, the whole package looks pretty darn snazzy.
Pricing has yet to be announced, but when it goes on sale later this year, the hotter convertible will join Volkswagen's growing R-Line portfolio that now includes the CC, Beetle hatch, Tiguan and Touareg.
Skoda launching two new CNG-powered vehicles in Europe in June
Thu, May 29 2014Skoda's second- and third-ever production compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles aren't exactly speed burners, but they are efficient. The Czech automaker, which is owned by Volkswagen, will introduce its Octavia G-TEC and Octavia Combi G-TEC models to most of Europe next month. Skoda's first CNG model was the Citigo, which debuted in 2012. The Octavia models will have a turbocharged 1.4-liter engine that will deliver about 109 horsepower. Quickness isn't these cars' virtue, as their 0-60 mile per hour acceleration time will be almost 11 seconds. But they can go as far as 826 miles on their tanks of gas and CNG, enough to go from Prague to Rome in one shot, in case anyone was curious. Or nuts. The move by Skoda makes sense, as the CNG market in Europe has long been far further along than it is on this side of the pond, where CNG has primarily been used to move delivery trucks, but it's now available in pickups form Chrysler, Ford and General Motors as well as passenger cars from Chevy and Honda. The Skoda Citigo has moved almost 2,000 units since its debut, with 1,300 vehicles sold last year alone. That car can go as far as 385 miles on CNG and gasoline combined, which is impressive but not quite as bladder busting as the Octavia models. Check out Skoda's press release below. SKODA continues its CNG offensive with the new SKODA Octavia G-TEC Launch of the new SKODA Octavia G-TEC and new Octavia Combi G-TEC in June First SKODA Octavia with natural gas drive as standard; 97 g CO2/km High-performance technology: bivalent turbo engine 1.4 TSI/81 kW The ultimate in fuel economy: up to 1,330 km with natural gas and petrol SKODA Citigo G-TEC has enjoyed market success since 2012; only 79 g CO2/km Natural gas is the environmentally-friendly, cost-effective alternative Mlada Boleslav, 19 May 2014 – Expanding its environmentally-friendly model range, SKODA is renewing its emphasis on compressed natural gas vehicles. The new SKODA Octavia G-TEC and the new SKODA Octavia Combi G-TEC will be given their market premiere in June. This will increase the brand's CNG range to three models. Since the end of 2012, the little natural gas-drive Citigo has been successfully touring the European markets. "With the new Octavia G-TEC and the Octavia Combi G-TEC, our model range is becoming even more environmentally-friendly," says Dr Frank Welsch, SKODA Board Member for Technical Development.
10 best new car deals in late September 2021
Wed, Sep 29 2021New car sales were drastically affected in 2020 due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but things started to show signs of recovery toward the end of the year before really coming on strong in the early months of 2021. Now there's an ongoing shortage of microchips causing a great deal of pricing fluctuation and a limited supply of certain vehicles. That doesn't mean there aren't still great deals on new cars, though. Using data provided by TrueCar, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best automotive deals for September 2021. WeÂ’ve noted the original MSRP, the average transaction price, and the total savings in both dollars and as a percentage of the original sticker price. Basically, weÂ’ve done all the hard work for you! So now, all you need to do is compare deals, go on a few test drives, and maybe drive away in a great car (and an even better bargain).
