Volkswagen : Bus/vanagon Transporter Weekender 1970 Red on 2040-cars
Stockton, California, United States
Up For Auction Is Our Beloved 1970 Transporter "Weekender" Volkswagen Bus
She is Adventure Ready and Looking Forward to Meeting Her New Family
She Loves Music and Singing and Going to Picnics in Pretty Places This bus is in really good condition with a high-performance engine that was completely rebuilt in this last year. The completely rebuilt engine has less than 1,000 miles on it. We have all the invoices for all the work we have done.
This bus also has a Very Clean Interior with wood-paneled doors, floor, and ceiling. All of the windows, slider, gauges and
warning signals all functional. Goodyear white-wall tires, very light wear. The "Weekender" package that came with this bus
includes the fold-out/ fold-down bed, closet, icebox, folding table, stool, canopy. What does not work? The horn. It is missing parts And the Side-view Mirrors have a mind of their own. And she has the old fashioned kind of air conditioning, which means you have to roll down her windows. And her heater has never worked very well. And sometimes the door lock on the drivers side sticks, which can be frustrating when you're ready to go. Also, sometimes, if you haven't taken her out on a date for a week or two, you'd think her battery was dead, but the lights come on and so does the radio so you know she's fine. Truth is she has a brand new battery. Give her a minute or two, try again, and she starts right away, Just in case, she does come with her very own jumper cables. We have owned at least four other Volkswagen buses in our time, And if you have ever owned one, you probably already know that each one has its own personality. This one certainly does. And she has been loved. We are starting the bidding at $18,500.00. The winning bidder must arrange to have the bus picked-up or shipped. We will help with arrangements any way we can. We will do our best to answer any questions you have. We will post more pictures if requested. We Only Accept PayPal If you need to make some other kind-of financial arrangement Please Communicate with Us. Thanks So Much For Visiting |

Tesla tires turning on Stretchla Vanagon EV conversion project
Tue, Jan 7 2014It is one thing to say you are going to Frankenstein a Tesla Model S with a pair of Siamese-twinned Volkswagen Vanagons and quite another to actually start taking your newly-acquired, smashed-up electric sedan apart in an effort to bring it back to life. Otmar Ebenhoech is doing just that, and having no small successes along the way. The Stretchla project, as it is being called, has officially started and our protagonist has put together another bit of video to document his progress and let us know about some of the different challenges he's encountered and conquered. While our original post about this endeavor featured video of the stretched Vanagon's drivetrain removal, this latest installment focuses on the Model S. Otmar received the Tesla in less-than-operable condition. Otmar received the Tesla in less-than-operable condition and has been tackling some of the basic problems one might expect to encounter: lots of error messages and an electrically disconnected battery pack. Without the aid of a manual or technical diagrams, he's removed the battery pack and discovered why it wasn't sending power to the car. Scroll below to watch the ten-minute presentation and celebrate some initial victories. You can also check out the official Stretchla blog for more photos and updates, including the most recent one that discusses how he talked himself into paying (*spoiler alert) $42,000 for a wrecked, non-functional electric car, along with more recent struggles with the steering rack. Hit us up in the comments to let us know what kind of trouble you would get into with a Model S drivetrain of your own. This content is hosted by a third party.

2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet
Thu, 07 Mar 2013The Golf VI's Last Hurrah Is Pure Niche
This was in the heart of the ultra-chic Côte d'Azur during winter. The car to be tested was the not-for-North America 2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet. Prevailing weather conditions here this time of year are bizarrely pleasant, as though a dome of Swarovski crystal has been placed over the entire region to protect it from any real winter spoiling things. And the zippy Golf R Cabriolet is a sports car designed precisely for this area's preciously narrow winding streets, as well as for the lofty budgets of its property owners.
So then why was it snowing like we were in northern Michigan? The weather front hit from the north like a swift kick to the Jordaches. The roof was open on this Candy White Golf R Cabrio and I, as is my wont, was determined through thick or thin to keep it retracted. It had been raining and sometimes sleeting like the End of Days, but I kept the lid cracked because the 261-horsepower cabrio - the most powerful convertible ever built by Volkswagen - was snipping along nicely as the bad weather blew over my head and wetted only the rear headrests.
Volkswagen profit jumps as it warns of a cooling auto market
Wed, Oct 30 2019FRANKFURT, Germany — Volkswagen says its profits jumped 44% in the third quarter thanks to a more profitable mix of vehicles in its lineup but warned that global car markets are slowing more than expected and lowered its forecast for annual sales. After-tax profit rose to $4.42 billion (3.98 billion euros) as revenues rose 11% to $68.27 billion (61.42 billion euros). The sales margin of 7.8% exceeded the goal of 6.5-7.5% as vehicles bringing higher profits took a larger share of sales. The Wolfsburg-based automaker pointed to the headwinds facing the industry by saying that it expects "vehicle markets will contract faster than previously anticipated in many regions of the world." It said sales would be "on a level" with last year's record of 10.8 million vehicles. Previously it had expected a slight increase. The company said its profits would be in the lower end of its forecast range. Global automakers are facing a slowdown in sales amid disputes over trade and from pressure in the European Union and China to develop and sell low-emission vehicles that require heavy investment in new technology. Ford and Renault have issued profit warnings in recent days, while Daimler, maker of Mercedes-Benz luxury cars, lost money in the second quarter and is expected to outline a cost-cutting strategy for investors on Nov. 14. Volkswagen is leading the push into electric vehicles in Europe by launching its ID.3 battery-powered compact car at prices it says will make zero local emission vehicles a mass phenomenon. The company was able to increase earnings in the quarter despite an 18% rise in spending on research and development.
