1973 Volkswagen Vw Bus Riviera on 2040-cars
Camas, Washington, United States
|
92K on this low mile camper. Very solid minimal rust. Runs and drives, but not well. Windshield area is perfect. I was going to restore but need to work on my 72 Riviera first. Have title and lots of paperwork history.(see pics) Has 80% OG paint and is mostly stock unrestored. Had respray many years ago on pass side rear corner. Is complete minus the camping interior let was pulled out by previous owner. Still has all seat belts as well. Still has pop top in good shape but needs ceiling redone. I have purchased a 1972 westfalia interior with Zbed, closet, jumpseat, icebox etc. Still has propane tanks underneath and some of the Riviera curtains. Still has complete factory tool kit and spare tire cover. Doors all open and close smooth as a low mile bus should. Working on getting a better rear bumper from friend and it looks bad but straight. With a new wood floor its would look great and stock. Minimal rust, only metal required will be both battery trays as it had dual batteries as a Riviera option. One side window also has a hole as shown in pics. Also had dealer installed AC which appears complete. Cool bellypan I've never seen. Have recipits for dealer installed sidestep, side vent shades and the rare rear mudflaps. I will take off 300$ selling price as I'd like to keep them but have dealer recipits for all three items in 74 so they should stay with the bus. I'm listing now before I really dig in and get the new interior installed and a new set of carbs. Will need all new rubber window and door seals soon but I'm out of time. I've got it running again with my old 72 dual carbs but needs some motor work. Tranny and clutch operated well as do the brakes. No loud noises just needs and couple more days of tuning and I'm not a carb guy. I replaced fuel lines and filter I'll mess around with it in the next couple of days and see if I can make it run better. It will drive onto a trailer or around the block but please don't plan on driving it home safely. Motor will probley need rebuilt in the future to make it a good long haul camper. I've replaced the front calipers with rebuilt ATE ones, new pads, and lines as the drivers side was sticking. Very cool project that hasn't been messed with as I keep finding all stock items. Radio delete plate, german stocks etc. Steering is real tight and nice and so mush better than my 300k 72. Could be ready this summer with a little motor work and some carbs. I'll include original ones as well. I'll pulled out all the parts I have for it this week and update. Let me know if you want any other specific pics and I'll be glad to post them. I'll add more info this week. I sold a bus overseas before and will again as long as its paided up front. It you want to order parts and have sent here I will put inside bus for shipping. I'm off all week so can show locally, I'm in Camas, Washington 10 minutes from Portland OR airport.

The package will come standard with the GTI's Sunroof and Navigation package, and it will add unique features such as the 18-inch "Laguna" wheels, a golf-ball shift knob, partial leather seats and red-stitching on the carpeted floor mats. Buyers of this package will also get a certificate of authenticity and some GTI swag such as a hat, keychain and parking sign.
Starting price for the 2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition is $29,695 with the six-speed manual and $30,795 if you choose the DSG - both prices exclude destination charges.

2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid
Tue, 12 Feb 2013More Fun Than A Prius, Less Sensible Than A TDI
Let's have some fun, and do some math. We're talking pretty rudimentary stuff, multiplication and division, to figure out if the upcoming Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid can make a baseline case for itself against two very strong competitors in this segment. The competitors in question, at least for now, are two more Jettas: the diesel-drinking TDI and the fit-for-the-masses SE with VW's long-serving 2.5-liter engine.
To keep the equations clean and simple (hey, we're writers), we'll calculate based on the most flattering EPA miles per gallon stat from highway driving for all cars, assume a healthy 20,000 miles driven per year, and factor in today's average cost for the respective fuels these three require: diesel (TDI), regular (SE) and premium (Hybrid). We'll also start with the base prices for all models.
