1958 VW panel from hit MTV show Pimp My Ride   
This iconic 1958 VW panel bus is from the MTV Television series Pimp My Ride customized 
by Xzibit and West Coast Customs. I purchased this a few years ago and 
had it on display at my office. Since, I have Sold my business and no longer 
have room. Motor and trans are stock. I just spent a couple thousand at 
VW specialist and had a major tune up done. They replaced spark plugs, 
ignition points, new wheel cylinders, rear brakes shoe set, fuel tank pulled 
and sealed like new, new fuel pump. She's starts right up and runs strong. 

The bus comes fully customized by WCC and Xzibit custom green 
and white paint job. The bus has Safari front windows, LCD TV, Playstation, DVD, CB, inverter, 
L-couch, Green neon lights, wood floors, Dryer/warmer, wet suit hanger, 
bus style Chill sign, Sound system, safari front split windows,Tiki rear lights, 
and more. Electronics work great.The only item not included from the tv show 
is the top mounted surfboard rack. 

Now, for what I can see that needs fixing; the bus has some small rust spots and 
dents that were on the bus prior to my ownership, not a lot but 
I state everything I see. Some weather strip attention, Front doors could 
use adjusting they don't shut the best. 

My mechanic's following recommendations: 
Steering box and steering pin need replaced. Transmission overhaul in its future. 
Shift rod bushing replaced. Last thing is the emergency brake cables need replaced. 

As you can read I state everything I know that is wrong personally and professionally. 
This bus is very unique and is a ICON to the late 70's early 80's generation. Every where its 
seen people recognize it. Not many panels left In America and the ones found are usually 
complete rust buckets and are selling for 5-15k. 

I have been driving the bus and she's fun and road worthy. Currently registered and Clean California title 
Has been stored indoors since my purchase of it in 2008 and was in a garage when I purchased it!-)

Hyundai tops VW and Buick in China, survey says

Wed, Apr 15 2015

You may be aware of the long-time competition in China between Volkswagen and Buick, but another brand apparently should be in that conversation too: Hyundai. In a recently published annual consumer survey, the Korean company actually took the top spot to beat out its German and American rivals in second and third, respectively. The results were part of the China Brand Power Index that interviewed 11,500 people around the nation and was paid for by the country's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. While Hyundai proved popular with voters, its sales haven't necessarily shown that yet. According to Bloomberg, the brand had falling numbers in China for the first quarter of the year. Even Ford outsold the South Korean automaker in the same period, despite scoring lower on the survey. Meanwhile, Audi ranked as the populace's favorite luxury brand, which is hardly a surprise given the Four Rings' strong sales in China. In January alone the automaker saw a 15-percent boost in volume there. Parent company VW's strong performance was somewhat more surprising, though. State media severely criticized the German automaker in March, and customers protested last year for the allegedly poor handling of a recall.

Volkswagen Golf R wagon promises to be fast and functional [w/poll]

Tue, 25 Mar 2014

Volkswagen's array of performance-oriented Golfs keeps getting bigger and bigger. What started with the GTI has since grown to include the diesel GTD, the hybrid GTE and the most powerful Golf R. But the additions haven't all come down to powertain. There's been cabrio versions of the GTI and Golf R as well, but before all is said and done, there will be one more bodystyle to join the lineup.
That, according to these latest spy shots, would be the Golf R Variant. For those unfamiliar, Variant is what Volkswagen calls the wagon version of the Golf (in some markets, anyway). It offers the Golf Variant with a variety of engines, but as the spy shots reveal, it is now working on bringing the Golf Variant and the Golf R together into one high-powered, long-roofed model.
The VW Golf R Variant would in all likelihood pack the same 2.0-liter turbo four as the hatchback, splitting 290 horsepower between all four wheels. Only in the wagon, it would offer that extra bit of utility. Of course there's no guarantee that Volkswagen would offer the Golf R Variant in the North American market, but considering that the Golf R hatchback will soon be joined in American showrooms by the Golf SpotWagen (as it's tipped to be called here) in place for the Jetta wagon, the possibility is definitely there.

VW readying new VR6 with forced induction

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

Volkswagen built a stonking, narrow-angle V6 in the 1980s and 1990s that was found in three different generations of the Golf (their performance iterations, obviously), three generations of the Passat, the New Beetle, the Corrado and the Touareg, among other VWs, a spate of Audis, Seats, a Skoda, and even the Porsche Cayenne. It was a sad day when it was announced that it'd be put out to pasture.
Rejoice, though, fans of the venerable VR6, because Volkswagen has a new, modern variant in the works that, according to AutoWeek, features direct injection and can easily be fitted with forced induction. In fact, AW mentions Volkswagen insiders that claim this unit will spawn a production version of the twin-turbo V6 shown on the Design Vision GTI from this year's Wörthersee festival. That unit produced an epic 503 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque.
Don't expect a production unit with that level of power (although it would make a hardy RS4 powerplant), though. In reality, AutoWeek is suspecting anywhere from 340 to 450 horsepower from the new mill. When it arrives at an undisclosed date in the future, it'll likely be found in the Passat and Passat CC as well as the production version of the CrossBlue.
