This is a re-list of my beloved VW, Bus, "V DOOB". The original listing ran in June 2013. Bidding was brisk, but the high bidder reneged within hours of winning the auction. This is a classic, collectible vehicle and you will NOT get financed through eBay Auto Financing. Please don't bid if you can't afford it.
**This VW Bus is only being auctioned through this eBay listing -nowhere else on the internet or in print. If you see pictures or any other listings for this vehicle outside of this eBay listing, it is a scam!** Up for sale is my 1972 Volkswagen Bus, "V DOOB". Used exclusively as an occasional weekend-jaunter and summer concert-wagon since I purchased her in 2011. There is an electric choke, but she still likes warm weather more than cold. Engine rebuilt (both top & bottom end) in 2007. Approx. 2200 miles driven since rebuild. New Weber progressive carb setup with electric choke, new SVDA distributor, all heater tubes & flaps work (she'll defrost the front window & give you solid front heat!!) all engine tin intact, nice non-rusty heater boxes, H4 headlamp upgrade (bright lights!), professionally powder-coated rims with Hankook RA08 tires (plus a fifth brand-new powdercoated rim with matching brand-new Hankook RA08 tire mounted), professional alignment, new Koni rear shocks, new drive axles, new brake lines all around, new brakes, new master cylinder, rebuilt brake booster, working original horn, new side windows & seals, all wiring is solid with soldered connections, all relays intact & functioning, all lights & blinkers work, new fuse box & fuses, gas tank removed cleaned & reinstalled, very tight shifting and stays solid in ALL gears, 'Stinger' exhaust is sealed & flowing smoothly, new OEM gas cap. Needs a new engine temperature sending unit - not a big deal, but engine temperature gauge under-dash bounces a little. Frame is perfectly straight and not rusty. This bus does NOT leak oil, nor burn oil WHATSOEVER! Underside of engine is clean, clean, clean. I've been using K&N racing filters and AmSoil synthetic oil (or sometimes RedLine synthetic) since purchasing the bus. Manual trans gear oil was refreshed & refilled in 2011 - NOT synthetic because synthetic detergents may damage old internal trans parts. This bus is built for long road-trips and weekend festival fun. I have no worries taking her 1000+miles for a trip. Compression-tested and approved!! The interior was NOT my doing, but a mid-90's 'party bus' job. The 1200Watt amp works, but is disconnected. Polk Audio speakers are fully functioning, but disconnected. Yes, that's a party bar with shotglass-holding inserts in the rear. Yes, those are white Pleather bench seats (ouch!). Yes, that's GREEN SHAG CARPET. There is a non-working flatscreen TV mounted to the back of the passenger seat - kinda ghetto, in my opinion. The stereo head unit in the dash is disconnected. Yes, that's a hardwood floor and door panels, but it needs to go eventually. There is a little bondo work on the passenger rear corner. The only major rust is the picture you see of the passenger-side floor pan - yes, it's a hole in the passenger floor. What about the VW emblem for the front? There was no emblem on the bus when I purchased it, but as noted below, the winning bidder will receive an OEM, chrome-plated VW emblem, which I secured from an eBay auction (and matching mounting clips/inserts). Unfortunately, whoever removed the original emblem drilled out the four mounting holes and they are now too large for the mounting clips to slide tightly in. To properly attach & align your OEM VW emblem, those four holes must be spot-welded, then re-measured and re-drilled. Receipts will be provided for all work and every piece listed above. In addition, winning bidder will receive all parts shown in last two photos from this listing, listed henceforth: Parts Picture 1: Clockwise from top-center: Old 009 distributor, front air vent piece, dash air vent, extra engine compartment blower fan, extra hardware for powder-coated front & rear license plate holders, NEW accelerator cable for '68 bus (211 721 555D, received in error), NEW clutch pedal linkage, TWO NEW clutch cables (211 721 335J), NEW accelerator cable for '72 bus (211 721 555J), NEW rear inner wheel bearings (211 501 287, set of two), right-side 'warm air pipe' (runs from engine blower hose through engine tin & down into heater box, then forward through heat flaps toward front of bus), Haynes Manual #226 (VW Transporter 1700/1800/2000 1972-1979), extra linkage parts for new Weber Progressive carb. In the Middle: VW Emblem Clips (211 853 614, set of four clips), Original VW front emblem with pins intact, one extra ORIGINAL VW key blank. Parts Picture 2: K&N Racing oil filter, oil screen gasket set & drain plug washer, extra distributor cap, rotor, points, condenser, one gallon AmSoil 15W50 racing oil. Buyer is solely responsible for arranging pickup/transport of vehicle to desired location, and paying for said transport and all associated fees, taxes, duties, etc. I may be able to assist buyer in securing professional transport, if such assistance is requested. Please do not hesitate to email me with any questions, or requests for further pictures or whatnot. |

Volkswagen reveals Beetle GSR, R-Line convertible and two special GTIs
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Volkswagen has chosen to really expand its performance-tuned portfolio at this year's Chicago Auto Show, bringing along a couple of new Beetles destined for model year 2014, as well as a pair of freshened GTI packages that you'll be able to buy almost right away.
The first, and splashiest of the Chicago goodies on the VW stand has got to be the 2014 Volkswagen Beetle GSR. Don't lose your temper, Acura Integra geeks; in this case, GSR stands for "Gelb Schwarzer Renner" or "Yellow Black Racer," and harkens back to a sport-tuned classic Beetle from the 1970s. For the 2014 iteration, the GSR gets a 210-horsepower version of VW's 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder. That engine is enough to push the Beetle to 60 miles per hour in 6.6 seconds, and up to a top speed of 130 mph.
Of course, you'll have long-since noticed the shockingly yellow-and-black livery before you stumble across the Turbo badge on the rear deck. The GSR gets 19-inch alloy wheels, 235-section tires and a tea-tray rear spoiler, but it's the paint and graphics package that will decide if this is your (lemony) cup of tea. Things don't get any subtler inside the car, either, as VW has carried the colorway through to the interior, as well. Only 3,500 Beetle GSRs will be produced, with just more than half of those going to the US - call your dealer today, Wiz Khalifa.
Giorgetto Giugiaro sells shares in legendary styling house to Audi
Sat, Jul 4 2015Giorgetto Giugiaro undoubtedly stands among the great automotive designers of the 20th century, having penned the original Volkswagen Golf and Delorean DMC-12, among countless others. However, the great stylist is now longer an employee or even an owner of the company that bears his name. According to Automotive News, Giugiaro and his son, Fabrizio, sold their remaining 9.9 percent of Italdesign Giugiaro to Audi on Sunday, June 28, and the two resigned from the business the following day. The news about this just came out, though. The exact reason that the two men left the company hasn't been made entirely clear. According to Automotive News, a statement said that Giorgetto Giugiaro went "to dedicate more time to his personal interests." Italdesign Giugiaro remains open and intends to keep growing, though, the same announcement asserts. After stints at Bertone and Ghia, Giugiaro founded Italdesign in 1968. He created some masterpieces there, including '70s wedges like Maserati Merak, Lotus Esprit, and much more. The 2000s weren't so kind and 90.1 percent of the company was sold to Volkswagen Group in 2010. Former Audi design boss Wolfgang Egger took over styling duties there in late 2013, but he only lasted for about a year, leaving in late 2014. Since the sale, Italdesign has continued to work, including with the Gea concept at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show and the very mean-looking Parcour in 2013. Giugiaro's designs are still highly prized, as well. On September 5, Bonhams is auctioning the Maserati Boomerang concept by him and expects to get around $4 million for it. The gallery above offers a few more examples of his and Italdesign's concepts for VW Group over the years.
2014 Volkswagen XL1 [w/video]
Mon, 11 Mar 2013World's Most Efficient Car Impresses, Not Without Compromises
Among our many duties at the recent Geneva Motor Show, we were offered a pretty exclusive drive in the new Volkswagen XL1 hyper-efficient plug-in diesel hybrid. There is so much that is interesting about a car like this reaching production from a major automaker that it's tough to know where to begin.
First off, you should know that - at least for this generation - there is absolutely no chance in Albuquerque that this "1-liter vehicle" (i.e. a vehicle that can burn just one liter of fuel to travel 100 kilometers, or 62.1 miles) will ever make it into the hands of North American customers. We, too, were having trouble imagining an XL1 in typical American traffic, surrounded by comparatively massive pickups and SUVs. The driving experience had us recalling a couple of weeks in 1999 when we drove the then-revolutionary Honda Insight hybrid on US roads. We keenly remember the feeling of being very small and vulnerable, even as we felt proudly green in our 61-mpg Tochigi pod. Thing is, the Volkswagen is smaller still, and nearly as light despite its more complex drivetrain and safety features.
