PROS:
  • MINIMAL SURFACE RUST (SOME "WORSE" SPOTS, BUT THEY ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN).
  • SUPER STRAIGHT BODY (ONE SPOT AT ENGINE BAY DOOR BOTTOM HAS DAMAGE).
  • ENGINE, TRANNY AND CLUTCH ARE STRONG.
  • NEW TIRES.
  • BRAKES ARE STRONG, NO PULLING.
  • LIGHTS AND SIGNALS WORK.
  • WIPERS WORK ON BOTH SPEEDS, BUT SOMETHING DID START SQUEAKING ON AND OFF AFTER TWO HOURS OF USE.
  • GLASS AND SCREENS ARE ALL GOOD AND WINDOWS ALL WORK.
  • AFTERMARKET RADIO WITH REMOTE AND SPEAKERS.
  • SUPER CLEAN INTERIOR.
  • GREAT POP TOP CANVAS (MINIMAL SMALL HOLES) WITH OEM FOLDING SLEEPER.
  • SPEEDO AND ODOMETER WORK.
  • BONUS SOLAR PANEL SYSTEM WITH 120V AND 12V CAPABILITY.
  • SINK WORKS, NICE ICE BOX.
  • DOORS ALL WORK WELL.  SOME OF THE LOCKS ARE QUITE TIGHT TO TURN, BUT THEY ALL WORK.
  • COMES WITH TWO KEYS.
  • ORIGINAL MANUALS INCLUDED.
CONS:
  • PAINT: MATTE BROWN ON THE BOTTOM WAS SPRAYED ON BY PREVIOUS OWNER.  NOT TERRIBLE, BUT NOT GREAT.  A CLEAR COAT ON IT WOULD DO WONDERS, BUT A COMPLETE RE-SPRAY WOULD TAKE THIS BUS TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
  • CHIP COATING APPLIED TO THE FRONT.
  • COUPLE SMALL CRACKS IN THE DASH.
  • RUBBER LATCH HANDLE ON THE GLOVE BOX IS TEARING FROM ITS BASE, BUT STILL WORKS.
  • INTERIOR HANDLE FOR SIDE DOOR HAS BROKEN.  NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.  DOOR STILL OPENS WITH ATTACHED VISE GRIP PLIERS.
  • SMALL HOLES IN THE TOP CANVAS.
  • ENGINE STALLED ON ME A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN COLD.  MAY NEED ATTENTION.  RUNS DOWN THE ROAD LIKE A CHAMP.
  • SOME FLUID LEAKS AT ENGINE.  NOT SURE FROM WHERE, BUT IS PRETTY MINOR.  OIL LEVEL WAS GOOD WHEN I CHECKED IT.
  • DENT AT REAR BOTTOM OF ENGINE BAY DOOR.

IF I MISSED ANYTHING (I'M SURE I HAVE), PLEASE ASK.  WATCH BOTH VIDEOS FIRST.  THANKS TO ALL FOR LOOKING!

Audi buys Ballard fuel cell patents for $80 million

Wed, Feb 11 2015

While some auto companies (e.g., Toyota and Hyundai) are giving away some hydrogen fuel cell patents, others are paying a pretty penny to gain access to the H2 tech. Audi announced today that it has purchased a suite of fuel-cell patent from Ballard Power Systems. The deal between Volkswagen Group and the Canadian fuel cell pioneer is worth over $80 million US. Unsurprisingly, the value of Ballard's stock shot up about a dollar (to $2.61 as of this writing) on the announcement. VW and Ballard will also extend their development agreement, originally scheduled to end in 2017, to March 2019, and possibly another two years after that. Thus far, the deal – which revolves around the "design and manufacture of next-generation fuel cell stacks" for VW's H2 demonstration program – and Ballard says it is a leader in "critical areas of fuel cell product design – including the membrane electrode assembly (MEA), plate and stack components – along with certain testing and integration work." At the LA Auto Show last fall, VW showed off a Golf SportWagen and a Passat with a hydrogen hybrid HyMotion powertrain as well as a Audi A7 Sportback H-Tron Quattro. Audi buys fuel-cell patents from Ballard Power Systems Development agreement with Ballard extended until 2019 Audi's Head of Development Prof. Hackenberg: "The entire VW Group will use these patents." Ingolstadt/Burnaby, February 11, 2015 – AUDI AG has acquired a package of patents relating to fuel-cell technology from Ballard Power Systems Inc. In addition, the Volkswagen Group has extended its cooperation with the Canadian clean energy company until 2019. The purchase of these patents will provide new impetus for the development of fuel-cell drive systems at Audi, VW and the Volkswagen Group. As explained by Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, Member of the Board of Management for Technical Development at AUDI AG and responsible for the steering of the development departments of all brands in the VW Group: "Audi is acquiring these strategically important patents for the entire group and will make them available to all the brands. In this way, we are securing crucial expertise that will provide new impetus for the further development of this technology." Ballard Power Systems Inc. is based in Burnaby, Canada, and is one of the world's leading companies in the technology of proton exchange membrane fuel cells.
