Hello VW enthusiasts! For your consideration, is this 1978 VW Camper Van! Heres a great opportunity to get into a solid camper van at a very reasonable price..The reserve on this is set to sell!! This is not a beat, rusty, smoking, tired van.. According to the previous owner, this van spent most of its life in California and was owned by a VW enthusiast. Very believable, as vehicles exposed to salt here are generally in very poor shape. This is a van you can enjoy right now. It has a recent 2.0L Porsche motor transplant and is running and driving very well. Previous owner stated the motor swap was completed in April and he has been driving it daily since. The motor came from a local Porsche enthusiast who apparently had several motors to choose from. Brakes, suspension, steering, trans-axle, electrical.. all seem very good. Not to say it couldn't be better with some TLC, but it can be used as is right now. Surprisingly, it is not dripping oil on my driveway! The motor makes good power and sounds good. I hear a exhaust rattle at certain RPM's. This van will get up and go.. not like the early ones that just seem totally under powered.

It is originally a white with green interior. It appears it has been somewhat recently repainted.. I would call it a "budget" paint job. Not rattle can, but not a nice uniform smooth finish either.. Poor masking job too. There is some rust in this vehicle and I've tried to photograph it from both sides where possible. The only rust hole I have found is in the passenger side step/floor (see pic). The rest of the front floor area looks great, previous owner sprayed primer down, it looks and feels solid. The ugliest rust/repair area is on the passenger rear wheel arch, (see pic) the bottom of the sliding door is not as bad as it appears. I tried to crawl around and photograph the under side to show that it is in really good shape. Serious bidders, please ask for any additional pics you may want. Panel fitment seems factory to me. Door open and close correctly, windows roll up and down. All 4 corners and the nose look great. The roof is in great shape too.

Interior looks like it has a custom finish on the cabinets. Cabinets are in good shape, all opening and working as they should. Looks to have most of its original green drapes intact and still in good shape. Rear bed cushions have staining but are in good shape. Passenger door panel is peeling. Headliner looks like it had vinyl or something that has been peeled off of it. Front seats are not comfortable at all.. In fact, the drivers seat may be dangerous to sit on! Dash is in nice shape. Lights, horn, blinkers, gauges all work.

I expect questions from serious buyers.. So, please feel free to call me, I am willing and able to do a walk around while on the phone and take whatever pics you may need/want via my iphone and send them to you... Furthermore, I am willing to pick you up from the airport for you to inspect the vehicle yourself, or meet with a local in the area. The van is not insured, so I dont want to drive it. Title is a clear Utah title in the previous owners name. NEW EBAY MEMBERS WITH LESS THAN 10 FEEDBACK, PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE BIDDING OR I WILL LIKELY CANCEL YOUR BID. Thanks and good luck!

Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe Concept is an aspirational Jetta

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

Meet the Volkswagen baby CC. Okay, that's not really it's name (VW calls it the New Midsize Coupe Concept), but this sleek, four-door coupe draws more than a little inspiration from the CC while riding on VW's MQB platform.
It's a looker, we think, and is an eye-pleasing departure from the bland styling of the current Jetta. The sleeker front end is complemented by a wider body overall (it's wider than a Passat), while the more sporting roofline and the sharp rear fascia gives the New Midsize Coupe a decidedly sporting character. LED head- and taillights add a bit more personality to this already stylish design.
Thanks to its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, it should get along rather sportingly, as well. The run to 62 miles per hour takes just 6.5 seconds thanks to the 217 horsepower on offer. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is also fitted, and contributes to an estimated 37 miles per gallon.

Car and Driver shows off awesome 1960s ads

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Someone must have recently rediscovered the keys to the archives at Car and Driver, and the access has been put to good use. Following last month's fantastic look at automotive ads from the '50s, there's now a new gallery running from March 1960 through December 1969. This collection provides a great overview of a decade full of iconic cars. If you're a fan of Carroll Shelby, particularly his Mustangs, then there's a lot to love among this group. One ad from July 1965 aimed to sell the GT350, but with an ocean of text and a tiny picture, it probably could've used a once-over by Don Draper's team. By December '65, the copywriters ironed out the problems with a spot proclaiming boldly "Shelby GT350 is 'Son of Cobra.'" The company offered some great accessories, too. For those into European motoring, there's a humorous attempt to sell the Alfa Romeo Giulia as both a racecar and family hauler. Toyota also boasts about the winning record for the 2000GT. Among the best text comes from BMW for lines like: "What's BMW got? The most advanced high-performance engine in any production car, for a cruising speed of 100 mph." Of course, Volkswagen's famous "Lemon" ad for the Beetle also gets its due here. Separately, each of these ads is fascinating, but taken together they tell the story of a great decade of motoring. Go give them all a read at Car and Driver.
