 Thanks for checking out my Turn Key 72 Bay Window Bus, It's ready to hit the highway for a road trip! Everything has been gone through on this bus! All new electrical wiring, and fuel system replaced, as well now has a low mile (30k) 1.9 Turbo Diesel engine purchased from Quality German Auto Parts, they are a direct importer of VW replacement parts. . This is the highly sought after AAZ engine code. Has completely rebuilt and tuned Bosch injection pump, as well as new Bosch fuel injector nozzles, all pop tested and ready for a long service life. Also worth mentioning, new alternator has about a year on it, but only about 1500 miles of driving, changed Timing Belt, and tensioner at pump install, new battery, new clutch/pressure plate/ flywheel/ pilot bearing, new tires, brakes are great, new seals about a year ago, all of the doors open and close really smooth and nice. I also have 2 new black vinyl seat covers for front seats, that are not installed, but included. this is the only diesel bus  I know of, and using all Factory Vw engine/bellhousing/transmission/flywheel, no cheesy adapter plates of any kind. Has all new Torqu Flo electric cooling fan, with temp switch, nice AutoMeter boost gauge,  and EGT gauge, temp gauge, engine is tuned now to about 15 lbs of boost. Runs awesome, get stopped everywhere I go in it. Best part is an easy veggie burner conversion, and can help with that if paid in full. Only selling after all of this work due to changing careers and raising funds for start up. Thanks for checking it out. Oh, and gets about 35 miles a gallon in town.  Would be a perfect cross country trip rig! or Maybe pull your Ghia to the track? Let me know if your interested. Engine bay was all sanded and primed, sanded again, and painted white/black, and has reflective backed wool sound deading material on the underside of the rear deck to keep the clickity clackity to the tailpipe and not in the cab, very quiet inside as normal.  These engines came stock in VW Golfs, Jetta's, Passats, and many more, and have been a very popular swap in Vanagons, and many light 4x4 Conversions. Not hard to see why, with there great fuel mileage, and longevity, many on the road with over 300k miles on them and running perfect.   I have done over a dozen diesel conversions, and as you can see, I keep everything as simple as possible, and tastefully clean. The floors are solid, and look new under the rubber floor mat, overall a really nice van, there are minor paint imperfections that you can notice up close, but just normal rock dings or what have ya.  Nothing major by all means, there is a small spot on the drivers side middle under the windows that had a stick on decal of sorts, and peeled up a litt, Just do not want to give the impressions it is a show quality trailer queen, but definitely a way  above average nice cruiser.  Also, has all new wood slat luggage rack installed.  It Does not have A/C, I got a lot of questions about that before.  Email with any questions and will get right back to you.

European jury picks finalists for 2015 Car of the Year

Tue, Dec 16 2014

There are countless Car of the Year awards handed out each year, and naturally, Europe has its own way of doing things. Every year, a panel of jurists representing seven publications in seven different languages and seven different countries get together to name their joint Car of the Year. The panel released a list of 32 candidates back in July, and it has now whittled that list down to seven nominees. The list consists of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, the Citroen C4 Cactus (shown), the Ford Mondeo, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the Nissan Qashqai, the Renault Twingo and the Volkswagen Passat. Of those seven, only two are available in the US – those being the Mondeo (sold Stateside as the Fusion) and the C-Class. The Passat is an entirely different model in North America, the Qashqai isn't offered here, Citroen and Renault don't even participate in our market and the BMW 2 Series is represented here only by the completely different coupe and convertible. Expect the one and only recipient of the 2015 Car of the Year award to be announced at the Geneva Motor Show this coming March, and while you're waiting, you can place your guesses for the eventual winner in Comments.

Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow

Thu, 17 Jan 2013

A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.
