I sadly have to sell my sweet bus (tax man). Except for the paint ( witch is OG ) Everthing has been replaced, powder coated or painted. The best of everything: Wolfberg West, Berg, Wagens West etc... NO RUST! Everything new or  rebuilt, 1776cc Type 1 engine ( all CB ), new trans, suspension, interior, guages, dash, trim, most rubber, tires, rims, brakes, dropped spindles, steering box, starter w/booster, fuel system, carbs, battery, cables, wiring, fuel lines, hoses, windshield, wipers, seals (about the only remaining original ones are the door seals because new ones make doors harder to shut, but new ones are included in the sale), etc, etc....Everything! I started this bus as nothing but a shell. A perfect, desert shell. The patina on this 100% original finish Red/White combo bus is the best you will find. Could not be duplicated without 40 years of not being repainted, crashed, dented or rusted! 

I am a 2nd generation VW specialist with 30 years in the industry. I own and operate Honest Engine of Midtown where the majority of work is on Hondas and Toyotas these days, but still have a select special client base for all things VW. I have built literally hundreds of air cooled motors for clients and a few custom complete builds, but this entire bus was built as my personal daily driver / shop vehicle. It has only been shown a few times but already collected trophies.

 Check the oil, turn the key & go anywhere you want. This is a turn key vehicle and is as-new as a used 74 can possibly be.

Did I mention this bus came with A/C? ....not currently functioning but still a cool (no pun intended) and rare accessory to have that could be retrofitted to work again.

Sweet Nor Cal Relics roof rack ( powder coated ) Z-bed & table. The whole bus is Dyna Matted, there is a trailer hitch system on it, wood floor, all new rubber mats, AM,FM,CD player w/DVD.

4000 miles on it since it was finished. Please call if there are any questions  916-600-5406. There is really too much to list, if you want a great bus that all you have to do is drive, this is the one.

Here are a few of our automotive guilty pleasures

Tue, Jun 23 2020

It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. The world is full of cars, and just about as many of them are bad as are good. It's pretty easy to pick which fall into each category after giving them a thorough walkaround and, more important, driving them. But every once in a while, an automobile straddles the line somehow between good and bad — it may be hideously overpriced and therefore a marketplace failure, it may be stupid quick in a straight line but handles like a drunken noodle, or it may have an interior that looks like it was made of a mess of injection-molded Legos. Heck, maybe all three. Yet there's something special about some bad cars that actually makes them likable. The idea for this list came to me while I was browsing classified ads for cars within a few hundred miles of my house. I ran across a few oddballs and shared them with the rest of the team in our online chat room. It turns out several of us have a few automotive guilty pleasures that we're willing to admit to. We'll call a few of 'em out here. Feel free to share some of your own in the comments below. Dodge Neon SRT4 and Caliber SRT4: The Neon was a passably good and plucky little city car when it debuted for the 1995 model year. The Caliber, which replaced the aging Neon and sought to replace its friendly marketing campaign with something more sinister, was panned from the very outset for its cheap interior furnishings, but at least offered some decent utility with its hatchback shape. What the two little front-wheel-drive Dodge models have in common are their rip-roarin' SRT variants, each powered by turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. Known for their propensity to light up their front tires under hard acceleration, the duo were legitimately quick and fun to drive with a fantastic turbo whoosh that called to mind the early days of turbo technology. — Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski  Chevrolet HHR SS: Chevy's HHR SS came out early in my automotive journalism career, and I have fond memories of the press launch (and having dinner with Bob Lutz) that included plenty of tire-smoking hard launches and demonstrations of the manual transmission's no-lift shift feature. The 260-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder was and still is a spunky little engine that makes the retro-inspired HHR a fun little hot rod that works quite well as a fun little daily driver.

Brazil contemplates safety exemption for VW Kombi as it goes out of production today [w/poll]

Tue, 31 Dec 2013

Brazil: the country of carnivals, indescribable beauty adjacent to abject poverty, Ayrton Senna and old Volkswagen models. Only they're not old - they're new, they're just based on old designs. The original Beetle continued production there long after it had been phased out elsewhere, but the original Kombi van has lasted much longer. That ends today, however, with the iconic VW Microbus ambling out of production on the last day of 2013.
VW kept making the van in Brazil with the original air-cooled 1.2-liter boxer four until 2005, after which the original design was updated with a 1.4-liter water-cooled engine. Today, however, it ultimately falls prey to safety regulations that mandate that all vehicles - no matter how old their design - need to have airbags and ABS, forcing Volkswagen do Brasil to cease production of the Microbus after a 56-year production run. But the latest word is that the Kombi (as it's presently known) could get a stay of execution - or at least a resurrection in short order.
According to reports, the Brazilian government is looking into granting the Type 2 Microbus an exemption from said safety regulations, reasoning that the van was designed long before the advent of airbags and ABS. If the measure goes through, the Kombi Last Edition (pictured above) could prove not to be the last at all. So what do you think, should the Microbus get an exemption from Brazilian safety regulations for nostalgia's sake? Vote in our poll below, then have your say in Comments.
