This is a 1969 Bay Window Volkswagen (Type II) Transporter Panel Delivery (whew…I think I covered all of the possible names). This VW panel delivery is not only an early bay window bus, but also a rare find in the US. Due to the lovely Chicken Tax (google it) commercial Volkswagen’s commercial vehicles are harder to find here, because they were (and still are) very expensive to import. This is registered and insured in Kansas and tags will expire in June. It has been in Volkswagen original colors Neptune Blue and Ivory White. It is customized with an Eberspacher gasoline underbody heater. The heater is in great shape but needs a fan and a glow plug replaced to be functional. Poking around I found both of these items for less than $200 combined, so if you live somewhere cold this is a must have! This van features the walk-thru front seats for easy access to the cargo hold and a standard sliding side door on the passenger side. The cargo area on the bus is great if you’re a delivery guy. The original advertisement even boasted about how this model was “All business.” If you originally purchased this bus for leisurely drives and the option for some overnight camping, you were out of luck. You get the best of both worlds when you purchase this restomodded VW panel delivery. I’ve modified the interior with passenger seating by installing a ’74 double pullout rear z bed, and also installing a ’72 dash. There is an Allison electronic ignition installed so you won’t be required to adjust the points. The engine has been replaced with a 1600CC oil cooled motor, with a 4 speed transmission, has a Weber two-staged carb, and currently less than 10,000 miles on this engine. Rear engine seals have been replaced along with the clutch. Lucky for you, this has been garage kept and maintained and boy does she shine. This is a great bus as an everyday driver and starts right up with a charged battery. I had planned on finishing up fully restoring it, but life happens. This bus is perfect for anyone wanting a bus to personalize, without having to put all of the work into restoring it. This bus is essentially a blank canvas ready to be made into whatever dream you have for it. The windowless panels definitely allow for some awesome paint jobs, and this bus is ready to be customized as an off-roader too, as the rear-wheel wells were customized at some point and will allow for larger/taller/wider wheels. This car made sense as a single dude…but now my rapidly expanding family requires a more modern vehicle. It may need some adjustments as it has only been driven once or twice a month lately, but the motor runs and the brakes stop. The rims are VW stamped standard wide 5 rims. The half-moon domes are missing, but the clips are present to make attaching them a breeze. The rear tires are Tiger Paws and the front tires are Pirelli Street tire. Both are in good condition with lightly worn tread. Original drum brakes are working fine. All lights on the vehicle work and ventilation system is in working condition as well. There is an aftermarket roof vent that was installed. This is brand-new and doesn’t leak. The body of this panel delivery is in excellent shape after all metal being restored. All necessary rust has been restored and only normal surface rust on the undercarriage is present. The front bumper was not reattached as it was too badly damaged and the wingsteps were missing. It can still be attached; you would just need to put a little more work into it. I have additional parts that I will be including with the sale as well: A Brazilian made 009 distributor complete with extra cap, points, and condenser, a rear interior spare tire cover (black plastic w/ VW logo), front VW logo is included but not attached, rear “Volkswagen” type logo included but not attached, original am/fm antenna (working), a rolling VW engine stand, extra lens covers and rings for back lights, and rings only for front lights, and a grey canvas “Rocky Mountain Motorworks Cover”. The interior is almost complete, and would just need some finishing touches to look pristine. The window seals, felts, and scrapers have all been replaced. The rear-hatch and side-door seals are in good shape. Seats up front are from a ’72 bus. They are high back bucket seats. They need new upholstery and padding, but all mechanical parts are in working condition. They currently have sheepskin covers which work great, look cool and are included with this purchase. The double rear z bed offers different seating arrangements so it can be customized to meet different needs. Concerts or campouts, this bus will get you there and back. This is a great driver and with a bit more work will be choice. Whether this bus is for you or your child as they venture out into the world, memories will be made that will last a lifetime.

Ten of the greatest Super Bowl car commercials of all time
Thu, Jan 28 2016With an average of over 100 million viewers each year, the Super Bowl always has advertisers bringing out the big guns. And for those among us who don't know the difference between a safety and a touchback, those commercials can be one of the most compelling aspects of the annual ritual. Car companies, in particular, have a long history of making the most of the huge Super Bowl audience by debuting some of the most memorable advertisements that have ever aired on television. So, in preparation for the new batch we'll be seeing this coming Sunday, here's a collection of our favorites from the past. 10. Audi – The Godfather When Audi created this homage to the quintessential gangster movie to promote its newest sports car, the company managed to make a commercial that was simultaneously funny, a little bit disturbing, and most importantly memorable. 9. Maserati – Strike This one might start out slow, but it delivers not only with the wicked sound of the third-generation Ghibli's engine, but with an interesting message about hubris in the auto industry as well. 8. Nissan 300ZX Twin-Turbo – Dream Directed by none other than Ridley Scott (Blade Runner, Alien), this dystopian spot has centers around a narrator who explains that in his dream the bad guys are unable to catch him despite their best efforts by way of street bikes, race cars, and supersonic jets. While the twin-turbocharged 300ZX car was certainly a performance powerhouse to be reckoned with in its day, the concept and execution of this one does come off a little bit campy now – but in a good way. Then again, it is a dream, after all. 7. General Motors – Robot This one is unique in that it's genuinely depressing on a profound level. Who would've thought that the simulated suicide of a lovable, anthropomorphic car-building robot who has fallen on hard times could be such a downer? 6. Nissan – With Dad Although the debut season of its new LMP1 racer didn't exactly turn out how the team hoped it would, there's no denying that Nissan's depiction of a strained father-and-son relationship that eventually leads to redemption (and the introduction of the 2016 Maxima) tugs at the heartstrings. 5. Volkswagen – Big Day A surprisingly poignant advert, this one might be low on dialogue but it certainly gets its message across. And just as the dramatic soundtrack begins to lull the viewer into a sense of security, our expectations are upended. 4.
2015 Volkswagen Touareg [w/video]
Fri, Dec 5 2014The second-generation Volkswagen Touareg has been in production since 2010, and is therefore staring down the last part of its model cycle. To keep buyers interested, the company has undertaken a refresh of its upscale midsize SUV. As is typical of these things, the changes include some exterior and interior rejuvenation, as well as increased content levels and a slight uptick in price. The basics of the styling changes are pretty straightforward. The 2015 Touareg can be pretty easily spotted versus the outgoing model by way of its four-bar chrome grille, a cleaner headlight design, bigger VW badge and a completely new lower front clip. (I got one photo of the old and new models side-by-side for my Twitter followers before we rolled out on the drive.) There's also a thin strip of chrome that runs around the bodywork, standard LED taillights and a selection of three new wheel styles and five new paint colors. Inside, I found it harder to spot the changes, old to new. The Touareg's switchgear has been updated and there's a new frame for the infotainment display, but there's no piece that stands out and says "new model year!" Powertrains and mechanical bits all carryover from the 2014 Touareg, too. But there were a few functional changes to the vehicle, primarily in the new Driver's Assistance Package, for me to take note of as I took a lap of my favorite Ann Arbor, MI driving route. Drive Notes Let me start with the newest news then, the Driver Assistance pack. Volkswagen will sell you this suite of safety gear on either the mid-level Lux or the top-end Executive trims, for $2,500. The package included adaptive cruse cruise control, "Front Assist" for emergency braking situations, lane-keep assist and blind spot monitoring. If the contents of that package don't strike you as revolutionary, you're not alone. Some or all of the technologies that are new to the Touareg have been around other showrooms – and other VW family products – for quite a while. Still, they're nice to have as options. All of the driver assistance features that I was able to test worked as advertised, too. The adaptive cruise uses cameras, radar and ultrasonic sensors, so it isn't likely to be impacted by inclement weather, which is nice. I also appreciate that the lane-keep assist (which offers the driver a haptic buzz to the steering wheel when straying out of the lane) can be turned off, or turned down in terms of intensity and reaction time.
VW Jetta GLI, Peugeot 505 are MotorWeek's 1986 Euro sport sedan alternatives
Tue, Dec 23 2014Video reviews have become a mainstay of automotive journalism, but long before every publication turned on its video cameras and started uploading to YouTube, there was one program that was blazing the trail. That, of course, was MotorWeek, the television car program produced by Maryland Public Television and hosted by the inimitable John Davis. The program first aired back in 1981, and after more than three decades in the business, it's got a considerable archive of old episodes to unearth. In this latest gem recovered from the MotorWeek back catalog, the program pitted two European sports sedans against each other: a Volkswagen Jetta GLI and a Peugeot 505 Turbo. That's right: back in the 1980s, Peugeot was still competing in the US marketplace. The forced-induction 505 may not have been enough to keep the French automaker in American showrooms, but it was enough to stand up against the VW. Which one won MotorWeek's favor? You'll just have to watch the six-minute clip to find out. News Source: MotorWeek via YouTube Volkswagen Peugeot Economy Cars Performance Videos Sedan vw jetta gli
