Here's a 1973 VW 3 door Bus up for sale.  This bus spent most of its life in California thru 95    Then came to Wisconsin and spent its winters in storage.  Then the second owner decided to start restoring her over time.  Body is very solid, Underneath pictures shows a real survivor. Floors are exceptional condition for a 40 plus year old vehicle. Runs better than new. Only has about 5,000  miles on a bigger than original,  Porche Boxster motor installed by Mofoco VW out of Milwaukee.  New clutch at time of motor exchange. Still has original tranny and shifter.  CV joints replaced,Trans flush, Fresh oil and Tune. New 8 ply Hancook Tires.  New Front and Rear sway bars added to cure most cross wind problems. Twin tipped exhaust, single Weber carb. Optima battery.   I believe the Porsche Motor is 2000-2100 cc.  odometer states 74,737 but is non-operable.

 Interior has been updated with marine grade vinyl from sewfine on  front kick panels and back rear side panels and rear lift door. Front seats and second row 3/4 seat are recent kits from Sewfine. Has interior curtains for all windows and windshield. Eight speaker cd player. All seat belts are there and set up to haul 7 passengers. New laminate flooring in second & 3rd row seating areas. New carpeting in rear hatch area.   I also has a custom second row seat  that  that turns in a bed, that's currently out of the vehicle if you would choose to want to travel and sleep in the bus. It fits in there very nicely, and folds up for a full size seat when not in the down position. I would let it go with the bus  Its at least a $500.00 option when it was installed but I decided to get it back more to original.  All glass panels are excellent condition. Windows roll up and down.  Doors shut firmly and latch correctly. All lights, signals, horn work as they should. Speedometer works but odometer doesn't.  It has an additional heater fan set up fan/switch  to help distribute heat from the back. The dash  heater cables are at the dash just need to be hooked up.

 The bus exterior  was painted with a brush by second owner, and all the metal  seems  rust free and metal has been very well protected bye this paint. No rust holes, Has some very small areas that could be some bondo, can't quite tell without getting the paint off.  It is 41+ years old. Could use a nice paint job but still get countless looks and people asking about it. It could be left as is.   With new paint you would have a 20K-25K+ bus.

All in all it runs great going down the highway.  Porsche motor with duel exhaust it sounds smooth.  I had it on the interstate and it cruise's  right along.65-75mph  Brakes are in good shape. Second owner took it all over the country and had no issues. gets about 18-20 mpg.   Some spare parts, VW book & manuals. Anyone can email me with a question - ILuvarchery@msn.com

Recharge Wrap-up: Arcimoto SRK video, BAIC EV at CES

Tue, Jan 12 2016

Kelley Blue Book took a spin in the Arcimoto SRK three-wheeled EV at CES in Las Vegas. In the video above, KBB Managing Editor Micah Muzio gets behind the handlebars for a spin around an empty parking lot. He notes a gradual throttle tip-in, though from the video, it appears the trike has a bit of pep. While the hydraulic brake pedal requires a bit of extra effort, the regenerative brake lever located on the right handlebar is effective and easy to use. The steering is a little heavy, but manageable, at low speeds. He calls it "kind of a fun little conveyance," adding, "Maybe this is the future." See the full review in the video above. CARB Chairman Mary Nichols spoke with German television about Volkswagen's emissions scandal. In a photo she posted on Twitter, Nichols can be seen in front of cameras with CARB's test bay in the background. In the bay is a Volkswagen Jetta TDI. She says in her tweet, "Discussing VW cheating case w/German TV in front of ARB lab test bay & '07 diesel Jetta. Time to move on to #EVs!" Late last year, a group of environmentalists and Silicon Valley leaders – Elon Musk included – sent Nichols an open letter suggesting CARB help urge Volkswagen to give up on diesels and focus on electric vehicles. See Nichols's post on Twitter. South Korea's most popular EV is the Renault Samsung Motors (RSM) SM3 ZE (also known as the Renault Fluence ZE). The all-electric vehicle has sold 1,767 units since its arrival in Korea since November 2013, with 2015 sales reaching 1,043 units. This makes one in three EVs in Korea a RSM SM3 ZE. The car has been selected as Korea's official government vehicle, and RSM has supplied over 100 EV taxis, 60 of which are in Seoul. Read more in the press release from Renault. BAIC EV announced it has established an R&D center in Detroit at CES. It will work with its other centers in Silicon Valley and Aachen, Germany in order to develop automotive technology and evaluate global demand. The EV branch of the Chinese automaker also debuted its i-Link information system, which uses 4G to connect car telematics to the cloud. The i-Link system also provides wireless phone charging, remote inquiry services and connects sensing technologies to the internet. Read more in the press release below.

Volkswagen Group, BMW Z4 top Total Value Awards by Strategic Vision

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

It was just nine months ago that Strategic Vision announced its 2011 Total Value Awards, but you don't have to wait until next year for the 2012 awards. The Volkswagen Group keeps its lead as the number one brand, with seven products taking top category spots: Golf, Jetta Wagon, CC, Eos and Audi A3 Wagon, Q5 and Q7. Strategic Vision says "true innovation" - "rich and impactful, intuitive, motivational, in-depth and is able to trigger description by the user in great specificity" - is the open secret of the brands with the strongest showings. Results are culled from 77,153 owners covering more than 350 new cars bought between September of 2011 and 2012 ranked in the Total Value Index (TVI).
Other notable winners are Hyundai-Kia following VW in the brand category and having the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Sorento among category winners, the BMW Z4 taking the premium roadster category and the highest overall score of any vehicle, the Chevrolet Volt continuing to gather silverware in the Special Category, nabbing the second-highest score of all and representative of "nearly perfect innovation," and Chrysler and Dodge being most improved.
Check out the press release below for your day's dose of jargon and all the winners.

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee teases return with a Countach

Fri, May 29 2015

Unless you have an intense aversion to Jerry Seinfeld, it's hard not to find something to like about his show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. After all, the series combines funny people telling often hilarious stories while riding in ridiculously cool vehicles. The trailer for the sixth season is now online, and based on this tease, this definitely looks worth watching no matter what part of the videos interest you. Of course, it's the automotive portion that really grabs us, and Seinfeld has quite a fleet to showcase for season six. The trailer shows off a Lamborghini Countach, a '57 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible, a classic Volkswagen Beetle in the green and white German Polizei livery, a Morgan, an Aston Martin DB5, and a Ferrari 308. On the more humorous side of things, the guest list at least includes Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jim Carrey, Steve Harvey, Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher and upcoming host of The Daily Show Trevor Noah. Season six of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee premieres on Crackle on Wednesday, June 3, at 11:30 PM ET.
