1971 VW TRANSPORTER BUS --H4 1.6 Liter 1584 CC 97 CID-- ALREADY LOOKS GREAT BUT WOULD LOOK AMAZING WITH EVEN MORE RESTORATION I purchased this classic in Seattle via private sale and it has lived in my WA garage since then. Previous to that it had 2 owners, both in Seattle and was always garaged. Because of this, there is minimal rust on the bus:) A local auto restorer told me it was the most rust free bus he'd seen in a long time! I purchased this in November and had hoped to keep it in my private collection for a long time, but my need for money for my new business has forced me to sell. It runs great and I am extremely sad to be selling! It passed the pre-buyers inspection I paid for wonderfully. I never buy a vehicle without one. It was recommended that I do a tune up which I just had done (6/25/14). It has been a reliable street and country-road vehicle for me in the last 8 months, a drove it on the freeway from Seattle home and it did great on the freeway as well. A previous owner had the bus professionally repainted, and it looks wonderful. There are a few areas of bondo on the side panels (please see photos) and your random nicks here and there but overall, it is a head turner wherever it goes! It has the original seats and all 9 original seat belts. One seatbelt needs to be bolted in still. The odometer reads 89,326 miles AS OF 6/23/2014. I am still driving this, so there may be more at time of pickup. Has collectors plates, so no tabs ever needed once transferred to new owners name! The interior has decent seats, there are tears in all three but still comfy with the exception of the front seat, which in my opinion would be great to replace. The heater works as far as I can tell, but don't get too excited, it does not heat you like a new car, lol. The passenger side mirror is missing and will need to be purchased. The right rear brake light is cracked, but still intact. It has 4 speeds and reverse, all working. A few easy to read bullet points- -Engine = H4 1.6 Liter 1584 CC 97 CID -Transmission = manual 4 speed -Purchased in WASHINGTON NOVEMBER 2013 --garaged ever since! -ONE OF THE MOST RUST FREE RIGS YOU WILL FIND!!!! -Odometer: Original MILES!!!! 89,326- SUPER LOW!!! -In good running condition at purchase; even better now after the tune up!! Truck is currently a reliable starter and runner. -Beautiful lines! -Recent new paint job with some blemishes (see pics). Mainly, the paint looks great, but there are a few areas where the paint could use some touch up (if you are picky). There are a few slight little dings here and there (nothing super noticeable), and a few areas where the paint has bubbled up a bit over the bondo areas. Overall, it looks great but it not perfect and should not be considered as such. -Passenger side (right) mirror is missing and needs to be replaced. -All doors lock! Key included. -All lights and windshield wipers all work. -Stereo is installed but not in working condition. -Interior light works. -Brakes are at 8mm and 6mm and in good working order. -Tires have good tread left. MOST EXCITING IS ALL THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE TO THE BUS IN THE LAST 10k miles! 1. 74, 835 miles: $287.78 -replaced engine compartment fuel hoses -cleaned/filed/st point gap/ -set basic timing -replaced alternator belt -changed oil, cleaned strainer filter -bleed brake system checked transmission fluid 2. 74,949 miles: $703.41 -replaced brake master cylinder -left rear wheel cylinder -bleed system -replaced turn signal relay -replaced broken connectors on fuse block -repaired horn button connection -replaced lights 3. 74,967 miles: $330.06 TIRES! (55,000 mile warranty, good till 124k+miles) 4. 79,170 miles: $765.61 BRAKES! -resealed oil strainer housing and drain plug -ignition timing off, reset timing and idle speed -serviced front brakes, replaced calipers, pads and rotors. -lubed caliper sides -repacked wheel bearings -bleed system -adjust rear brakes 5. 81,795 miles: $299.24 -replaced both relays and covered fuse/relay box -replaced right real wheel cylinder -oil change 6. 83,159 miles: $1,872.45 -rebuilt manual transmission -replaced clutch and shifting coupler -tightened fan belt 7. 85,000 miles: $1084.00 PAINT JOB!

Recharge Wrap-up: 2015 Fuel Economy Guide available, how Porsche ships 919 Hybrid
Fri, Nov 7 2014The EPA and Department of Energy have released the 2015 Fuel Economy Guide. Unsurprisingly, the groups say that this year features more fuel efficient and low-emissions vehicles than previous years, and they span a greater variety of vehicle types. The guide also provides "best-in-class" lists, greenhouse gas ratings and estimated fuel costs for each vehicle. The EPA and DOE hope that car buyers will use the guide to help choose cars that are better for the environment and the climate. Check out the guide for yourself or read more in the press release below. To get from one WEC race to the next, Porsche ships its 919 Hybrid LMP1 cars by air. As the team travels around the world - from continent to continent - it must take 35 tons worth of cargo with it, including two LMP1 cars. That means draining fluids, partially dismantling the cars, and fitting everything into a 747. The team also ships items by sea, which requires shipping extra sets of items due to the longer shipping times. "It's all about efficiency," according to Porsche. Read more in the press release below. Terra Motors is unveiling the A4000i electric scooter, which it will sell in Europe, at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan. The A4000i, which features smartphone connectivity, will be the company's European flagship model. Terra Motors will begin selling in Italy, and plans to make arrangements to sell in several more countries shortly after. Terra hopes to set up manufacturing in Europe, as well. Also on display at EICMA is the company's Bizmo II electric scooter, which has a driving range of 93 miles on a single charge. Read more in the press release below. Volkswagen is providing a 2015 e-Golf to Stanford University for research. The car will be used to study electric mobility, improvements in the driving experience and people's driving behavior and attitudes toward EVs. "Volkswagen's longstanding relationship with Stanford has allowed us to push the boundaries of automotive research and innovation," says Volkswagen's Ewald Goessmann, "and we look forward to extending our work together to drive advances in electric vehicles."

2015 Volkswagen Passat Alltrack ready for any road, except in the US
Wed, Mar 4 2015If Volkswagen built a Subaru Outback-fighter for US buyers, the Passat Alltrack would be it, and the new generation of VW's off-roading wagon debuted this week at the Geneva Motor Show. The Passat Alltrack – which is not sold in the United States – takes the car-like demeanor of the Passat and punches it up into a go-anywhere crossover. It has permanent 4Motion all-wheel drive, raised ride height and an electronic differential lock. The body is fitted with modified bumpers with underbody guards, reinforced wheelarches and side moldings with extended sills. There are roof rails on top, and it rolls on standard 17-inch wheels with 18s and 19s optional. The Passat Alltrack offers five direct-injected engines, with the lineup comprised of two turbocharged gasoline mills and three turbo diesels. Volkswagen loaded the vehicle with a wide range of infotainment and safety features, including choices of five radio and navigation units. It also has fully digital instruments, heads-up display and a rear-seat entertainment system setup for laptops. There is also lane-changing assist, rear-traffic alert and trailer-assist features. As spokesman confirmed to Autoblog there are no plans to bring the Passat Alltrack to the US market. The new Passat Alltrack • World premiere at the Geneva International Motor Show • All-wheel drive all-rounder* combines exceptional off-road properties with excellent travel comfort The latest generation of the Passat Alltrack* is celebrating its debut at this year's Geneva International Motor Show. Based on the new Passat Estate, the new Passat Alltrack impresses with an independent off-road look, 4MOTION permanent all-wheel drive and highly advanced technologies. The updated version confidently handles rough terrain, on the one hand, while simultaneously providing excellent cruising comfort – thanks to the driving profile selector and DCC adaptive chassis control. The Passat Alltrack is an independent model within the model series. This can be seen in exterior features such as the modified bumpers (with underbody guard in stainless-steel look), rugged wheel arch and side sill moulding covers in "Anthracite" and sill extensions. Its 27.5 mm higher ground clearance also makes it ready for any driving situation. Anodised silver roof rails, "Alltrack" badges on the radiator grille and tailgate, and custom 17-inch alloy wheels (18- and 19-inch wheel options available) upgrade this Estate even more.
