Pro Patina Build 4k Miles Since Completeion 1776 Type 1 Everything New Turnkey on 2040-cars
Sacramento, California, United States
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.

VW confirms Golf GTD diesel coming to US for 2016
Wed, 03 Jul 2013Part of the Volkswagen Golf recipe that has helped the car sell more than 30 million units in just under 40 years is the number of variants in which the hatchback is offered. Building on that range here in the US, Automotive News is reporting that we will finally be getting the sporty Golf GTD, likely as a 2016 model. It's the GTD, you'll recall, that crosses the performance abilities of the venerable GTI with a powerful and fuel-efficient diesel engine.
After speaking with Andreas Valbuena, Volkswagen product manager for the Golf, AN not only says that the GTD will for sale in the US in a couple years, it also estimates a baseline price of around $27,000, which would place it between the current pricing for the GTI and the Golf R. The GTD is launching in Europe this summer, but we won't be getting the seventh-generation Golf in the US for another year. The news about the performance diesel model isn't entirely unexpected - VW officials have been hinting at it for at least a year now, going so far as to import a sixth-generation model for media test drives on US soil, a task we happily took them up on last year.
The Mk VII GTD uses VW's 2.0-liter TDI engine with output increased to 184 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, allowing the car to sprint to 60 miles per hour in about seven seconds while returning more than 40 mpg in highway driving. We can't wait.
UK auto magazine says this is the best car commercial of all time [w/videos]
Thu, 20 Dec 2012There have been many great car commercials over the years, but is it possible to define the best? Well, Ad Week recently took a crack at it by rating the top commercials of the year by looking at their view counts on YouTube, but Auto Express took a more democratic approach by putting the decision to a vote. Just after Thanksgiving, Auto Express came up with a list of the 20 popular commercials, and it tasked its readers with choosing the winner for the best car ad of all time. The winner? Honda's 2003 commercial for its then-new European Accord titled "The Cog."
While the ad never aired in the US, most car people have surely seen the impressive Rube Goldberg-style spot. In fact, the only commercial on this list that we saw on US television was the Volkswagen ad "The Force," but many of the others have become viral videos, including transforming and dancing Citroën C4. Of the 19 other commercials that vied for the title of best ad of all time, only the Ford Puma "Steve McQueen" commercial gave Honda a run for its advertising money.
Scroll down to watch Auto Express' top five commercial in order and to check out a press release, then let us know some of your favorite car commercials in Comments.
VW was 2018's top-selling automaker — but
Wed, Jan 30 2019TOKYO — Volkswagen Group has held on to its position as the world's top-selling automaker for the fifth year in a row, although the German group was edged out again by the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance in the light-duty vehicles segment. Renault SA, Nissan Motor Co Ltd and Mitsubishi Motors Corp together sold 10.76 million passenger cars and light commercial vehicles in 2018, according to Reuters' calculations after new data released on Wednesday. The group doesn't sell heavy trucks. Nissan said on Wednesday it sold 5.65 million vehicles last year, down 2.8 percent on the year. Mitsubishi reported an 18 percent rise in sales to 1.22 million units while Renault sold 3.88 million units, up 3.2 percent on the year. Volkswagen's deliveries rose 0.9 percent to a record 10.83 million last year, including its MAN and Scania heavy trucks, the German company said earlier this month. Excluding heavy trucks, it sold 10.6 million units. Toyota Motor Corp retained its third spot, announcing on Wednesday that it had sold 10.59 million vehicles last year including its Toyota and Lexus brands, along with minicars made by subsidiary Daihatsu and light and heavy trucks produced by its truck division Hino Motors Ltd. Excluding Hino trucks, Toyota sold 10.39 million units last year. The automaker has said it expects to sell a total of 10.76 million vehicles in 2019. Many automakers are trying to boost sales volumes to achieve economies of scale and reduce costs amid soaring investments needed to develop next-generation technologies, including self-driving cars and electric vehicles. This has been a focus of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Motors group, which is looking to share more vehicle parts and consolidate production platforms to trim R&D and manufacturing costs, while raising profitability. The alliance, which brought Mitsubishi Motors into its fold in 2016, is currently in crisis with its former Chairman Carlos Ghosn arrested and indicted on charges of misconduct. Nissan has also been indicted, and Renault appointed new top management last week. Related Video: Earnings/Financials Mitsubishi Nissan Toyota Volkswagen
