 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.

European car sales up 8% in February

Sat, 22 Mar 2014

Three weeks ago an analyst increased projections for European car sales this year, expecting them to climb three percent compared to last year instead of 2.7 percent. That number is a postive sign after years of hard times but it turns out February was especially good, overall European sales climbing eight percent on a wave of southern European recovery and discounts - and this comes after five months of gains including January's 7.2-percent jump over the year before.
The only country of Europe's five largest markets to post a decline was France, just as it did in January, Germany, the UK and Italy posting solid double-digit numbers, Spain rocking the charts with an 18-percent increase because of a government program to encourage trade-ins.
The only brand to miss the wave was Volkswagen, dropping 0.8 percent as it watched the double-digit growth at sister brands Audi, Seat and Skoda lift the Volkswagen Group sales up by seven-percent. Peugeot overcame flat sales at Citroën to improve the group by 3.5 percent, BMW and the Mercedes-Benz/Smart combo rose by four percent, the Fiat group jumped 5.8 percent, Ford was up 11 percent, the Renault Group 11.5 percent, General Motors 12 percent and the Toyota clan by 14 percent.

Volkswagen building budget car family planned for China in 2018

Mon, Jun 29 2015

Volkswagen has publicly pondered a low-cost car for China, something akin to Nissan's Datsun revival in Southeast Asia, for at least three years. In 2013 it tapped Chinese partner FAW to help develop an entire budget brand, with plans to have something on the market in 2016 in the 6,000- to 8,000-euro range. About a year ago, VW said it couldn't figure out how to engineer an inexpensive car that didn't run counter to the brand's values, then three weeks later said it had overcome the issues. Reuters now reports that VW CEO Martin Winterkorn told German newspaper Bild am Sonntag, "We will bring a budget-car family to market in 2018, with an SUV, saloon and hatchback." Winterkorn didn't offer any other details like who VW would work with to build it - VW has partnerships with both FAW and SAIC, but the announcement will be welcomed by the brand's Chinese outpost. When this adventure started, VW said it was working to create a model that would cost 6,000 to 8,000 euro. That estimate has increased. Winterkorn is now saying the 2018 offerings will come in between 8,000 and 11,000 euro. In a straight euro-to-yuan conversion, that would equate to Chinese pricing of 56,000 to 77,000 yuan. For comparison, the New Polo with a 1.4-liter engine and a manual transmission starts at 85,900 yuan. Perhaps with an eye on the success of the Nissan-Renault sub-brand Dacia in Europe and emerging markets, Winterkorn told Bild, "We will see if this is something of interest for other markets as well." On the opposite end of the price/performance spectrum, Winterkorn also said that VW is working on two new models for Bugatti, one powered by a traditional gasoline engine and another with some sort of hybrid setup. The latter model would reportedly be the higher-performing of the two, though it's not clear whether there would be two vehicle lines or two versions of the same vehicle. As ever, as soon as we know more, so will you.

VW confirms development of 10-speed dual clutch, 134-hp/liter diesel

Fri, 26 Apr 2013

Each year, the Vienna International Motor Symposium showcases some of the up-and-coming technologies automakers are engineering for the use in passenger cars, and Volkswagen AG CEO Martin Winterkorn revealed some big developments VW is working on for its future products. Winterkorn discussed a multi-faceted approach that VW is looking to reduce its fleet fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
Some of the bigger news he discussed included a "high-performance" diesel engine that will produce 134 horsepower per liter and a 10-speed DSG automatic transmission. While no specific applications were mentioned, we can only hope this is for the Audi R4 we keep hearing about.
Another topic he touched on that caused us to perk up our ears was had to do with VW's plug-in hybrid technology. While we know the PHEV versions of the Audi A3 and Porsche Panamera are on the way, Winterkorn also said that these two models will be followed up by Golf, Passat, Audi A6 and Porsche Cayenne plug-in models. Scroll down for a press release highlighting the automaker's future fuel-saving initiatives.
