After much thought, I have decided to list my 1965 VW Bus for sale.  It turns heads everywhere and brings lots of attention.  It is affectionately known as "Surf Patrol".  Born in Hawaii, I have restored this with an island theme even with two murals on the underside.  I love the islands and can imagine this bus as the perfect vehicle to drive around and check out beaches.  I will constantly try to update the listing as often as I think of more to add but I am not under any pressure to sell.  I did not make it to the last 3 shows that I wanted to attend which are part of the reason I am listing the bus.  I think that even though I love this bus, there might be someone out there that will love it the same and have more time to take it out.  With my oldest in high school sports and my youngest in middle school sports, time is hard to come buy and I love going to their games.  There are some little things here and there that still need attention, but it is a great bus. This bus is stored 100% of the time in my locked garage.  I also will include the car cover.  

Some of the features are as follows:  2387 cc Bergmann engine-hydraulic valves (don't need adjustment), dual empi carbs, remote oil cooler, braided oil lines,-dyno'd at 166hp, A-1 sidewinder exhaust (ceramic coated), 1.5qt additional oil sump, breather box, ragtop, modified roof rack to fit in the garage, custom gauge panel in dash, chrome 5 spoke empi wheels, Rancho Performance pro street transmission powdercoated in mercedes silver, new gas tank, headlights, turn signals, Banjo steering wheel,  restored middle seat, (previous owner didn't have the middle seat, they had a table) seat belts throughout, new rear end, dual master cylinder, safari front windows and side pop out windows, custom interior carpeting, interior panels and drapes.  I do have receipts for nearly everything since I have owned the bus.  I do have the stock wheels that match the bus though they need some attention.  I also have the original rear drums and lots of other vw stuff that I will package up and send with the bus.  (oil change gaskets, misc gaskets, misc parts, etc)    I do reserve the right to end this auction early as it is for sale locally as well.  I will not be disclosing the reserve price either, so don't both asking. I will relist if it doesn't sell and will be adding to the listing as necessary, either pics or descriptions.  In the event of a sale, I will hold title until payment is made in full.  If payment is not received within 7 days, I will re-list the bus.

VW recalls 1.1M Jetta, Beetle models in US, China over suspension fears

Fri, 17 Oct 2014

Volkswagen is recalling about 1.1 million vehicles in China and North America in a newly announced campaign affecting the rear suspensions on some models. For the US, the action covers about 442,265 vehicles, including 400,602 examples of its 2011-2013 Jetta and 41,663 units of the 2012-2013 Beetle and Beetle Convertible. According to Reuters, the recall affects a further 126,000 vehicles in Canada and about 581,090 in China, including related market-specific models like the Sagitar.
The problem can occur if the affected models have a collision to the rear or the side-rear of the vehicle. It's then possible for the trailing arms on the torsion-beam rear suspension to be damaged. If the harm isn't noticed, then the part could fracture while driving. Obviously, a broken rear suspension is going to have an adverse effect on handling.
To fix things, VW dealers will inspect the trailing arms on the models, and they will all receive a sheetmetal part that will make a distinctive sound if broken in the future. If already damaged, the entire torsion beam will be replaced. Obviously, this work will be done at no charge to owners.

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.

Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe Concept is an aspirational Jetta

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

Meet the Volkswagen baby CC. Okay, that's not really it's name (VW calls it the New Midsize Coupe Concept), but this sleek, four-door coupe draws more than a little inspiration from the CC while riding on VW's MQB platform.
It's a looker, we think, and is an eye-pleasing departure from the bland styling of the current Jetta. The sleeker front end is complemented by a wider body overall (it's wider than a Passat), while the more sporting roofline and the sharp rear fascia gives the New Midsize Coupe a decidedly sporting character. LED head- and taillights add a bit more personality to this already stylish design.
Thanks to its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, it should get along rather sportingly, as well. The run to 62 miles per hour takes just 6.5 seconds thanks to the 217 horsepower on offer. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is also fitted, and contributes to an estimated 37 miles per gallon.
