Hi, I am offering our '71 camper for sale. Due to an upcoming relocation we can no longer keep "Hannah" and she needs a new caretaker. She's been good and treated us well, she's not perfect but I think a fine, solid good running bus. I'll start w/ mechanicals, tires  have plenty of tread left, they're quiet, smooth and have good grip. Up front the calipers, pads and brake lines are about a yr old, at the rear, drums shoes, hoses, hardware and just recently new wheel cylinders. KYB shocks about 2yrs old fr &rear. The front suspension is solid, steers smoothly and tracks straight. The clutch is strong and the trans shifts perfectly. The motor is the famous dual port 1600. I just had the valves adjusted and compression tested a hair under 140lb equally on all 4 cylinders. The motor is strong and sports a brand new weber IDF 40mm carb and a complete tuneup. Currently there is a header w/ a Kadron pipe on it which sounds nice (to me). For others I am including the original bus exhaust which is like new that I can install for you along w/ the original bumper. I also have the original air filter ass'y and vacuum regulator for the dual port distributor which I am currently using as a single. I also have  a nos 009 distributor and a few jet selections for the carb depending on your altitude and driving requirements. This motor is solid and runs well, starts well even at 25deg this past winter, and drove thru fairly deep snow no problems, w/ excellant heat! Truly! after 15min @ highway speed the cabin was comfy and windshield clear!......On to the rest, the body is solid, it's not perfect, but the photos show the picture, there is a slight dent in the rear hatch that could prolly be popped out, there is very very slight beginnings of surface rust at various points, the most obvious on the sliding door. But guess what? I'm including a replacement sliding door in the same color! I just never got to swap it out. There is no stove, sink or ice box. They we're removed a long time ago, I think to make room and open up the cabin a bit. The top goes up and down smoothly, the flap zippers operate smoothly, there is a minor tear in the left side tent screen but a little patching should work there. The mattress cushions for up top sleeping are real nice as well as the pull out bench down below. The rear most cushion is gone as that was always the spot for the "stuff". The milk crate behind the drivers seat was for our dog. All in I like how it drives, it's great at the beach and in the hills, it hauls everything. All the locks work, all the lights work, the heat works, the tent is good, the engine is strong, the wipers work, everything. It needs a little cosmetic attention and a radio. I think there's a 1/2 tank of gas, throw your stuff in, turn the key and go. Any questions? feel free any time before 10pm est @ 516-978-5634. My name is Joe and I'll help any way I can, Thanks! I think the starting price to be fair w/ no reserve.  A $500 deposit will secure the deal upon completion of auction

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating

Mon, Aug 6 2018

Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.

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.

Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members.
