1976 Volkswagen Vw Westfalia Bus Van-nice! on 2040-cars
Wilmington, North Carolina, United States
1976 Volkswagen Westfalia Camper Bus-Nice! Exterior: The bus is in great shape. It was repainted by the previous owner to match factory original green and it looks stunning! There are small imperfections, dents and scratches but nothing significant or easily noticeable. This bus is almost 40 years old and in amazing condition for the age. It has been stored inside since I've had it. All the glass is original (couple nicks on windshield) and the doors open and close with ease. Interior: The ALL ORIGINAL INTERIOR is in good used condition. The front seat edges is showing some wear. A few nicks here and there on the furniture. Also it appears the sink faucet head was replaced with newer one. Original green curtain set 360 degrees. Slide in table also included with sale. The Engine: The engine is the pancake VW 4 Cylinder 2.0 Liter, replaced by the previous owner 6 years ago. It runs strong and the transmission shifts smoothly. Converted to carb last year and I like it! The Good: This classic VW Bus is in great shape and could be easily taken to VW Shows/Events or left as a daily driver or used for camping trip. It doesn't have any significant rust which is remarkable for it age. It drives and shifts better that any other bus I've ever driven. They all seem to be a little finicky but this one it really straight forward and relatively easy to drive. The light and turn signals works as they should. All tires and original rims in good condition and currently don't need any attention. VW hubcaps and all chrome handles are shiny and looks really sharp! Things to do in near future: This is a 37 year old vehicle so not everything look brand new. There are small imperfection in the interior and exterior. The gas gauge flickers at times but I was told this is an easy fix. The canvas should be replaced since its original so I'm including a BRAND NEW Canvas and Gasket for the new owner ($550 value). I purchased from Bus Depot two weeks ago. I took the rear white bumper off to sand and repaint but liked it actually without since its so clean in the back. This bus does have minor room for improvement but is in amazing condition given the age. This is a no reserve auction and the winning bidder drives away with an amazing all original VW Camper Bus with years of enjoyment ahead. If you have any ?'s, feel free to email me and I will respond asap! Also, I encourage inspections so I'll be available for showings in sunny Wilmington, NC. NOTE: NO INTERNATIONAL BIDDING. US FUNDS ACCEPTED-CASH, CERTIFIED BANK CHECK, OR WIRE. As soon as payment is received and cleared, title will be shipped to new owner. |

Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off
Fri, Nov 21 2014Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.

Translogic 164: Driving the fuel cell vehicles of the 2014 LA Auto Show
Wed, Nov 26 2014The LA Auto Show is known for its environmentally friendly vehicle debuts. At last year's show, hydrogen fuel cell concepts from Honda and Toyota joined a lease-ready Hyundai Tucson FCEV to cast a green hue over the convention center. This year, automakers took us a step closer to a fuel cell future by offering drives of their hydrogen-electric hybrids. Translogic host Jonathon Buckley takes a ride in the Toyota Mirai, which is headed for production in 2016. He follows that with a spin in the Volkswagen Passat HyMotion and the Audi A7 Sportback h-tron quattro concept. Which of these fuel cell vehicles holds the most promise? Tune in to find out.

Volkswagen's 261-mpg hand-built XL1 headed for Geneva
Thu, 21 Feb 2013After years of rumors, development and testing, the Volkswagen XL1 is finally about to become a reality. The project that began life as a daring 1-Liter concept car in 2002, will finally get its production-ready curtain call at the Geneva Motor Show in just a few weeks.
As soon as it hits the streets, the two-seat XL1 will instantly become the most fuel-efficient and most aerodynamic production car in the world. The car uses a plug-in hybrid system to achieve mind-blowing consumption of just 0.9 liters of diesel fuel consumed every 100 kilometers (and average of roughly 261 miles per gallon). Plus, the XL1 can go up to 50 kilometers on its battery power alone. Coefficient of drag is a miniscule 0.189, thanks to a tiny frontal area and an obviously slippery shape.
XL1 power comes from a two-cylinder diesel motor connected to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, while the 20 kW electric motor is fed by a lithium-ion battery. Both combine to give the XL1 performance figures that are, while not stirring, not shabby considering its extreme frugality: 0-62 miles per hour comes up in 12.7 seconds and top speed is nearly 146 mph.
