THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS CAMPER BUS! THIS BUS HAS RECEIVED THE RED CARPET TREATMENT REQUIRING COUNTLESS MAN HOURS, BEGENING WITH THE DISMANTLING OF A VERY STRAIGHT, RUST FREE ORIGINAL PAINT WESTFALIA. THIS WAS NOT A RUST BUCKET THAT HAD TO BE CUT UP AND PATCHED BACK TOGETHER, RATHER A VERY NICE SURVIVOR THAT NEEDED A REFRESH AFTER A 10 YEAR COVERED STORAGE.

WE BEGAN BY DISMANTLING THE BUS DOWN TO IT’S BARE SHELL. ALL WINDOWS WERE REMOVED; ALL LIGHTS AND TRIM, THE ROOF, ROOF RACK AND CANVAS TENT ALL CAME OFF, ALL HANDLES AND HARDWARE ALONG WITH ALL DOOR RUBBER SEALS ECT. IT WAS THEN PROFESSIONALLY PREPED AND PAINTED IN A BEAUTFUL VINTAGE GREEN WITH A NICE CLEAN WHITE FOR TOP AND ACCENTS. THE PAINT WAS LAYED ON THICK AND THEN BUFFED TO AN AMAZING SMOOTH FINISH.

THE VDUB CLASSICS UPHOLSTERY DESIGN WAS CUSTOM MADE FOR THIS BUS AND LOOKS FANTASTIC! THE ORIGINAL PANNELING AND WESTFALIA CABINETS HAD BEEN INCREDIBLY WELL PRESERVED AND REQUIRED LITTLE RESTORATION, EVEN THE ICE BOX IS STILL IN GREAT SHAPE AND VERY USABLE. THE FLOOR NEEDED REPLACING AND SO WE INSTALLED OUR VDUB CLASSICS ONE PIECE BALTIC BIRCH FLOOR PANNEL WITH MULTIPLE COATS OF URETHANE FINISH FOR A DURABLE EASY TO CLEAN SURFACE. THE CURTAINS WERE HAND MADE AND MATCHED SPECIFICLY FOR THIS BUS AND NEW CARPET WAS INSTALLED OVER SOUND DEADENING UNDERLAYMENT ALONG WITH NEW RUBBER SEAT PEDESTAL MATS.

AFTER PAINT, WE METICULOUSLY REASSEMBLED THE BUS WITH ALL NEW WINDOW RUBBER, TRIM AND WINDOW CHANNEL FELT. ALL DOORS AND HATCHES RECEIVED NEW GERMAN RUBBER SEALS FOR A NICE QUIET WEATHERPROOF RIDE. ALL LIGHT LENSES WERE REPLACED WITH NEW. BRAND NEW CHROME BUMPERS WERE INSTALLED ALONG WITH NEW CHROME TRIM FOR LIGHTS AND FRONT EMBLEM. ALL NEW RUBBER SEALE ON ROOF AND ROOF RACK ALONG WITH NEW CANVAS TENT. NEW WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND NEW STEREO WITH USB INPUT FOR YOU IPAD OR PHONE

THE REBUILT 1700 ENGINE RUNS EXCELLENT AND PUSHES THE BUS DOWN THE ROAD NICELY. BRAKE SYSTEM HAS BEEN FLUSHED AND NEW PADS ON THE FACTORY FRONT DISC BRAKES, THEY WORK GREAT! THE STEERING IS NICE AND TIGHT AND THE TRANSMISION SHIFTS PROPERLY THROUGH ALL THE GEARS. THE WIRING HAS BEEN SORTED OUT WITH ALL LIGHTS WORKING PROPERLY INSIDE AND OUT WITH A NEW BATTERY AND ALL 4 TIRES WERE JUST REPLACED WITH BRAND NEW!!

THIS IS A VERY NICE LOOKING AND DRIVING BUS, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPOINTED. PLEASE CHECK MY FEEDBACK AND BID WITH CONFIDENCE. GOOD LUCK!!

LOCAL BUYERS, PLEASE CONTACT ME TO VIEW IN PERSON. OUT OF AREA BUYERS, I'M WILLING TO CORDINATE WITH TRANSPORT CO TO HELP EXPEDITE THE SHIPPING PROCESS.

Recharge Wrap-up: VW exec predicts EVs with 375-mile range

Wed, Oct 8 2014

Volkswagen says EV ranges over 300 miles aren't too far in the future. Plug-in hybrids are merely a bridge to all-electric mobility becoming more practical for people who need to travel longer distances, according to Dr. Heinz-Jakob Neusser, Volkswagen's head of powertrain development. Energy density is increasing rapidly in new batteries. Speaking about the e-Golf, Neusser says, "I expect the next generation in 2015-17 will increase to around 300 km [186 miles] and the following step will be around 500-600 km [310-372 miles]." Neusser also says he believes that charging infrastructure will improve to catch up with these more advanced batteries. Read more at Motoring. BMW is offering higher incentives for the all-electric i3 than the range-extended version. More buyers are opting for the i3 REx, with its 78 extra miles of range. So, to move the standard i3 (which is already cheaper), BMW is offering $2,000 in incentives for October - double what is offered for the i3 REx. The added incentives help close the price gap between the BMW and other EVs with similar ranges. The deals won't last long, though. According to New Jersey BMW salesman Manny Antunes, BMW's current incentives are "as aggressive as they're going to get" for a while. Read more at Green Car Reports. Honda is changing its research and development process for all cars after a series of Fit Hybrid recalls. The hybrid version, which makes up more than half of all Fit sales in Japan, was the subject of four recalls within nine months. In response, Honda will change the way it develops cars worldwide, with one extra "gate" to pass in the process. Honda will do prototype testing earlier in the research process to see how separately developed components work together before moving onto the car's development phase. It will add time and cost to making cars, but Honda hopes it will help prevent problems - like those that come with a flurry of recalls - down the road. Read more at Automotive News.

Volkswagen CrossBlue Coupe is a green fun-machine we want to drive

Fri, 19 Apr 2013

Think back to January's Detroit Auto Show. Those of you that are fans of the Volkswagen brand, impressed with green technology or simply fall into the "diesel geek" category, will almost certainly remember VW's CrossBlue concept with its diesel/electric hybrid powertrain, seating for seven, and somewhat awkward crossover styling. It was an impressive piece of future tech, to be sure, though it left something to be desired in the, well, desirability department.
Here in Shanghai, VW has brought along a CrossBlue Coupe concept that would seem to include most of the goodness of the original, but flavored with more sport and style this time around.
The CrossBlue Coupe makes use of the same electric drive components as the larger three-row concept: two electric motors (front and rear) powered by a 9.8-kWh lithium-ion battery. However, where the original concept made use of a TDI four-cylinder, the Coupe substitutes a 295-horsepower, direct-injection, gasoline-burning V6.
