1971 VW TRANSPORTER BUS --H4 1.6 Liter 1584 CC 97 CID-- ALREADY LOOKS GREAT BUT WOULD LOOK AMAZING WITH EVEN MORE RESTORATION I purchased this classic in Seattle via private sale and it has lived in my WA garage since then. Previous to that it had 2 owners, both in Seattle and was always garaged. Because of this, there is minimal rust on the bus:) A local auto restorer told me it was the most rust free bus he'd seen in a long time! I purchased this in November and had hoped to keep it in my private collection for a long time, but my need for money for my new business has forced me to sell. It runs great and I am extremely sad to be selling! It passed the pre-buyers inspection I paid for wonderfully. I never buy a vehicle without one. It was recommended that I do a tune up which I just had done (6/25/14). It has been a reliable street and country-road vehicle for me in the last 8 months, a drove it on the freeway from Seattle home and it did great on the freeway as well. A previous owner had the bus professionally repainted, and it looks wonderful. There are a few areas of bondo on the side panels (please see photos) and your random nicks here and there but overall, it is a head turner wherever it goes! It has the original seats and all 9 original seat belts. One seatbelt needs to be bolted in still. The odometer reads 89,326 miles AS OF 6/23/2014. I am still driving this, so there may be more at time of pickup. Has collectors plates, so no tabs ever needed once transferred to new owners name! The interior has decent seats, there are tears in all three but still comfy with the exception of the front seat, which in my opinion would be great to replace. The heater works as far as I can tell, but don't get too excited, it does not heat you like a new car, lol. The passenger side mirror is missing and will need to be purchased. The right rear brake light is cracked, but still intact. It has 4 speeds and reverse, all working. A few easy to read bullet points- -Engine = H4 1.6 Liter 1584 CC 97 CID -Transmission = manual 4 speed -Purchased in WASHINGTON NOVEMBER 2013 --garaged ever since! -ONE OF THE MOST RUST FREE RIGS YOU WILL FIND!!!! -Odometer: Original MILES!!!! 89,326- SUPER LOW!!! -In good running condition at purchase; even better now after the tune up!! Truck is currently a reliable starter and runner. -Beautiful lines! -Recent new paint job with some blemishes (see pics). Mainly, the paint looks great, but there are a few areas where the paint could use some touch up (if you are picky). There are a few slight little dings here and there (nothing super noticeable), and a few areas where the paint has bubbled up a bit over the bondo areas. Overall, it looks great but it not perfect and should not be considered as such. -Passenger side (right) mirror is missing and needs to be replaced. -All doors lock! Key included. -All lights and windshield wipers all work. -Stereo is installed but not in working condition. -Interior light works. -Brakes are at 8mm and 6mm and in good working order. -Tires have good tread left.

Volkswagen offers Beetle Classic, priced from $20,195*
Tue, 23 Sep 2014The current Volkswagen Beetle already tries to be a fairly retro-looking ride by cribbing styling elements from the iconic original. However, for the new, limited-edition Classic model, VW is hopping into the time machine to grab even more vintage cues. The company is even cutting the price, perhaps in hopes of turning around flagging sales this year. You don't need to wait long for any of these upgrades either because the automaker says that the Classic goes on sale this week for $20,195, *excluding the $820 destination charge. That's $100 less than a bone-stock Beetle.
Starting as a standard Beetle with VW's 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 170 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, the Classic edition comes with a six-speed automatic and then adds some retro flair. It includes new vintage-look 17-inch wheels with simulated dog dish polished hubcaps over black spokes. It also comes with a rear spoiler, and the automaker is offering the model in Pure White, Black Uni, and Reflex Silver.
The interior mixes in a few more classic touches but includes modern amenities like a standard navigation system, satellite radio and multifunction steering wheel. However, the seats are finished in a two-tone design combining light brown leatherette on the sides and checked cloth centers, plus lumbar support for the driver's side. The shift knob and handbrake also get wrapped in leather.
Recharge Wrap-up: Zero takes electric motorcycles to cop expos, Chevy Volt powers dealership's Internet
Fri, Oct 3 2014Zero Motorcycles will be at three law enforcement conferences this month, including COPSWEST Training and Expo, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Law Enforcement Vehicle Test and Emergency Vehicle Product Expo and International Association of Chiefs of Police Expo.

Volkswagen Group CEO Martin Winterkorn told European regulators that more stringent emissions standards too soon will be a major problem for automakers. He says that such moves could prove "fatal" for an auto industry that is still working to develop cleaner vehicles. "Every gram of CO2 that we save in our European fleet costs our group almost 100 million euros," says Winterkorn, "100 million that we have to invest in advance, without knowing when these investments pay off." He says that already creating emissions targets beyond those set for 2020 could harm European automakers competing globally. Read more at Automotive News Europe. When a Detroit Chevrolet dealership lost its Internet connection, it turned to one of its Chevy Volts for a temporary fix. After the regular connection at Buff Whelan Chevrolet went down, it plugged in a Volt showroom model equipped with 4G LTE, and used its connection to resume business. The car can handle up to seven connected devices, so the team used a Malibu to connect the rest of its computers. When a customer asked why the Volt was on, the team explained the whole situation, leading to one impressed customer. Read more at Automotive News.
