This is a NO RESERVE auction for a 1973 Volkswagen Type 2 Transporter aka a VW Bus. It is the 7 passenger microbus version with right side sliding door and drivers side on the left. I am in the process of moving and I am unable to bring it along. I bought this vehicle a number of years ago with the intention of making it into a ratty weekend runabout cruiser. This didn't happen and it has been sitting until recently. It has new front brake hoses, plugs and plug wires, points and condenser, cap and rotor, and exhaust manifold gaskets (I had to replace a broken exhaust stud). It does need a battery, but I have been able to start it with a jump from a good battery. I have driven it a few times and all the gears work fine and the clutch is good. There is however an oil leak that drips onto the heat exchangers and it gets rather smoky. Just so you know, the AZ title says "mileage in excess of odometer mechanical limits". Please take some time and look at the photos provided. This is a 40 year old vehicle and its condition reflects this fact. I do however believe that with some work this vehicle could make a great weekend cruiser or serve as the basis for a full restoration (Arizona weather has slowed some of the rusting that these vehicles suffer from in other parts of the country.).

Tesla tires turning on Stretchla Vanagon EV conversion project
Tue, Jan 7 2014It is one thing to say you are going to Frankenstein a Tesla Model S with a pair of Siamese-twinned Volkswagen Vanagons and quite another to actually start taking your newly-acquired, smashed-up electric sedan apart in an effort to bring it back to life. Otmar Ebenhoech is doing just that, and having no small successes along the way. The Stretchla project, as it is being called, has officially started and our protagonist has put together another bit of video to document his progress and let us know about some of the different challenges he's encountered and conquered. While our original post about this endeavor featured video of the stretched Vanagon's drivetrain removal, this latest installment focuses on the Model S. Otmar received the Tesla in less-than-operable condition. Otmar received the Tesla in less-than-operable condition and has been tackling some of the basic problems one might expect to encounter: lots of error messages and an electrically disconnected battery pack. Without the aid of a manual or technical diagrams, he's removed the battery pack and discovered why it wasn't sending power to the car. Scroll below to watch the ten-minute presentation and celebrate some initial victories. You can also check out the official Stretchla blog for more photos and updates, including the most recent one that discusses how he talked himself into paying (*spoiler alert) $42,000 for a wrecked, non-functional electric car, along with more recent struggles with the steering rack. Hit us up in the comments to let us know what kind of trouble you would get into with a Model S drivetrain of your own. This content is hosted by a third party.

2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid
Tue, 12 Feb 2013More Fun Than A Prius, Less Sensible Than A TDI
Let's have some fun, and do some math. We're talking pretty rudimentary stuff, multiplication and division, to figure out if the upcoming Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid can make a baseline case for itself against two very strong competitors in this segment. The competitors in question, at least for now, are two more Jettas: the diesel-drinking TDI and the fit-for-the-masses SE with VW's long-serving 2.5-liter engine.
To keep the equations clean and simple (hey, we're writers), we'll calculate based on the most flattering EPA miles per gallon stat from highway driving for all cars, assume a healthy 20,000 miles driven per year, and factor in today's average cost for the respective fuels these three require: diesel (TDI), regular (SE) and premium (Hybrid). We'll also start with the base prices for all models.
