For sale is a 1973 Volkswagen pop-top camper bus. It has a rebuilt 2 litre engine with less than four thousand miles on it. The transmission was also rebuilt when the engine was and a new clutch was installed at that time. I bought it last spring and used it all summer and so far this summer as a daily driver. It runs like a dream. I have made a lot of modifications to it, restoring the interior. It needs a few more small things and it will be perfect. The table has been re-surfaced and the interior wall panels have been painted white (just like original) with the exception of the sliding door. There is laminate flooring installed in the back and it looks really nice. I also put new curtains in all the way around. I installed a new refrigerator in the back which has a mirrored black tinted transparent front. It has a blue LED internal light which looks pretty cool. There is also a brand new top of the line 300 dollar yellow top battery installed in the back. All it really needs is to have a power inverter installed and hooked up to a switch to either run off of shore power or the battery bank. There is a battery switch hooked up so that the starting battery will be charged until full charge is reached, then it will switch over and charge the deep cycle (battery bank). I made a new roof assembly for the rear which just needs to be painted and installed. The roof assembly can also hold two 6x9 speakers, and there is also a place to hook up two more 6x9s in the front doors. I also made the door panel for the sliding door, it just hasn't been painted or installed yet. I just ran out of summer before I ran out of work to do on it last year. It has all new tires. It has new brake lines and pads on the front. I took it on a 12 hour road trip a couple weeks ago and she ran like a dream. The top is in decent condition with no major tears. The cots will need new canvas however. Age made them kind of brittle. It has the pop top with a cot for a child (or a really short person), another cot that goes across the front seats, and the fold out bed in the back. There is plenty of storage room. It has a new steering wheel and an old style oooga car horn with an 8 ball shifter. It definitely gets some attention. Also it has a complete set of brand new chrome hub caps that could probably be polished right back to new condition. They got a little dirty and a few rust spots from this winter. I have a lot more pictures if you would like to see some more. Just send me an e-mail at dadgeman@yahoo.com.
Also, I forgot to mention that I started installing LED light bars as opposed to dome lights for the interior of the camper and the dome light. Less power draw, and a cool blue tint. Just needs to be finished wiring to the switch. Wires are already run. I will also assist in shipping if you would like, or come pick it up and drive it home. Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Make this summer a great one. This baby is a blast.

VW Golf GTI wrung out by Chris Harris
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Enthusiasts like nothing more than to crucify modern interpretations of their favorite performance models for failing to live up to some imagined ethos. Even the Volkswagen GTI has suffered its fair share of slings and arrows for growing in size and curb weight. Chris Harris recently spent some time with the all-new MK VII GTI to find out if growing up means giving up on what makes the machine so special.
Judging by his comments, Harris certainly doesn't think so. Yes, the new GTI is considerably more comfortable than its predecessors, but that's hardly a bad thing. The multitude of driving modes actually seem to add depth to the car rather than simply try to force one tool to do many jobs, and Harris even finds the machine's electronic power steering tolerable. As a result, Harris goes so far as to call the Volkswagen GTI "one of the best cars to actually own." How's that for high praise? You can watch the video for yourself by scrolling below.
Volkswagen Multivan Alltrack Concept takes the luxury van life off road
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Volkswagen dug into its commercial vehicle fleet for its latest Geneva Motor Show concept, blending the versatile body of the T5 MultiVan with a luxuriously appointed interior, 4Motion all-wheel drive and a thrifty diesel powertrain.
That 177-horsepower diesel engine routes its power to the AWD system through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Based on that alone, we'd expect the Multivan Alltrack's behind-the-wheel experience to be somewhat familiar. That all-wheel-drive system and van body contribute to the 21-degree approach and 15-degree departure angles of this soft-roading MultiVan.
What wouldn't be familiar is its exquisite cabin. Volkswagen opted for a nautical theme for the concept's interior, featuring grey-blue leather seats from Poltrona Frau and a floor finished in real wood. The dark wood trim can also be found throughout the interior, running below the windows and on the dash.
Porsche 911 with VW turbodiesel prepares for LeMons assault
Fri, 21 Mar 2014LeMons racing is a wonderful example that setting limits can actually breed creativity. The series mandates that all entries must cost $500, not counting safety equipment, and that cap forces teams to be ingenious in how they build a racecar. Take for example this diesel-powered Porsche 911, which its creators have dubbed Ferkel the Nein-11, that will be racing in the Sears Pointless race this weekend in Sonoma, California.
This Frankenstein combines a 911 chassis that was originally bought just for its European powertrain and a Volkswagen TDI diesel engine mounted in the rear. After deciding the shell could still be of some use, the team decided to go racing. "We began brainstorming what replacement drivetrain to use for maximum offense and there was really only one answer: a diesel," said Philipp von Weitershausen, one of the team captains, to Jalopnik. They bought a 1998 Jetta TDI on the cheap and started figuring out a way to hack the engine into the bay. To pay respect to the donor, the VW's trunk was highly modified (and drilled) and grafted onto the back of Ferkel.
This team isn't a newcomer to LeMons. Its last car was a classic VW Beetle with a Subaru engine and dual controls, named Ferdinand the Bug, which could be driven from the left or right side. It's quite a sight.
