This Bus is in great condition especially for the year. It is mostly original except the interior has been partially redone and the stove and sink have been removed and the stereo is aftermarket. Its was repainted (the original color) some years back and still looks good. I'm going to give you details about everything I can. I will also supply detailed photos of everything important.
The Exterior: The bus is in great shape. It has spent most of its life in New Mexico in the desert and has no significant rust since its been in a very dry climate. It was painted by the previous owner about 7 years ago from what I am told. It was repainted the original color so the door jams and interior paint match up well. There are small imperfections, dents and scratches but nothing significant or easily noticeable. This bus is almost 40 years old and in amazing condition for the age. It has been stored inside since I've had it except the last 6 months has been stored outside because I moved and don't have a garage anymore ( this is the reason I'm selling her). All the glass is intact and the door open and close with ease. All the locks work with the same key but one the drivers lock is not working right now. The key turns in the lock but it doesn't seem to be connected to the lock itself. I think it would be an easy fix and I'll look at it and edit this add if i can. The interior: This interior looks really nice. Its has been modified from the original interior. The stove and sink have been remover and a wood floor has been installed. The seats have been reupholstered except the bed in the pop up which is in really good shape. This canvas on the pop top is whole but is brittle from sun on the side. I didn't replace it because it's fully functional but will eventually need to be replaced. A really nice stereo has been installed with new speakers in the front and back (i haven't wired in the back speakers but have all the necessary parts to complete the job. This stereo also plays dvd but you need to put a monitor somewhere. The kick panel in the front have also been replaced by the last owner but doesn't fit as well as the original but looks okay. The inside of the glove compartment is missing but the door is whole and works fine. The Engine: The engine is the flat 4 Cylinder 2.0 Liter that I believe is original. It runs strong and the transmission shifts smoothly. There is a sound that only occurs when the transmission is disengaged which I had a transmission mechanic to look at. He said that eventually I should replace the clutch and throw bearing if the sound gets any worst. He told me it's fine to drive and it not damaging my transmission. There is a secondary battery but Is dead and disconnected and have no idea how or if it functions. I just run the regular battery and leave the secondary untouched. The mileage listed is as stated on gauge but turns over at 100K so I would assume its 131k but really no idea. The Good: The bus is in great shape and could be easily restored into a show car or left as a daily driver or used for camping trip. It doesn't have any significant rust which is remarkable for it age but it seem the ocean or many salty roads. It drives and shifts better that any other bus I've ever driven. They all seem to be a little finicky but this one it really straight forward and relatively easy to drive. Everything functions well and could be a everyday driver the day of purchase. The light and turn signals works as they should. The glass is all good. there is really nothing that would prevent daily driving. The Bad: This is a 37 year old vehicle so not everything look brand new. There are small imperfection in the interior and exterior. The emergency lights don't work and I have no idea why and have never tried to fix. The canvas and clutch will need to be replaced but could be fine for a few years. It needs seals put on the Pop top and there is a crack in the corner which is shown in the pictures. This bus does have room for improvement but is in amazing condition given the age. I have set what I think is a low reserve for the vehicle. I can be reached @ 773-218-1911 if you have any questions. |

Volkswagen names new chief designer for Bentley
Thu, Jun 4 2015The Volkswagen Group has named one of its own to head up the design department at its Bentley division. The role now falls to Stefan Sielaff, who has been with the group (off and on) since 1990. Sielaff is principally an interior designer, but has been tasked with setting up numerous overall design offices for Volkswagen and Audi over the years. In his new capacity he'll be reporting to the group's chief engineer Rolf Frech (and oddly not to Bentley chief Wolfgang Durheimer), but at the same time, Sielaff will retain his role as head of interior design for the entire VW group, reporting to its chief designer Walter de Silva. Sielaff replaces Luc Donckerwolke, who has headed up Bentley design since 2012 and is leaving the company. We'll be on the lookout to see where Donckerwolke lands next. Crewe/Wolfsburg, 04 June 2015 Stefan Sielaff to head design at the Bentley brand • Sielaff also responsible for Group Interior Design Strategy Stefan Sielaff (53), currently Head of the Volkswagen Design Center in Potsdam, will assume responsibility for design at the Bentley brand effective July 1, 2015 in addition to his present post as Head of Group Interior Design Strategy. As Director of Design at Bentley, Sielaff succeeds Luc Donckerwolke (49), who held this function since 2012. Stefan Sielaff joined the Volkswagen Group in 1990, beginning his career in the interior design department at Audi. From 1995 the design graduate was entrusted with setting up the Group's Design Center Europe in Spain. In 1997 he was placed in charge of the Design Studio in Munich and was appointed Head of Audi Interior Design in the same year. In 2003 Sielaff moved to DaimlerChrysler as Design Director of the Interior Competence Center, returning to the Volkswagen Group in 2006 to become Head of Audi Design before being appointed Head of the Volkswagen Design Center in Potsdam und Head of Group Interior Design Strategy in 2012. In his new function as Director of Design at Bentley, Sielaff reports to Rolf Frech, Board Member for Engineering. In his function as Head of Group Interior Design Strategy he continues to report to Walter de Silva, Head of Group Design. Luc Donckerwolke has decided to leave the company. De Silva said: "Luc Donckerwolke has played a key role in the design of various Group brands. We would like to thank him for his work."

Volkswagen feuds with thriving stablemate Skoda
Wed, Oct 4 2017BERLIN, Oct 4 (Reuters) - Volkswagen managers and unions are seeking to curb competition from lower-cost stablemate Skoda, move some of its production to Germany and make the Czech brand pay more for shared technology, company sources told Reuters. As VW struggles to cut jobs and spending at German factories and turn the page on dieselgate, Skoda's superior car reviews and profitability have intensified the brands' rivalry within the Volkswagen empire. VW now wants to reduce what it sees as Skoda's unfair advantages - combining German technology with cheaper labor - and reaffirm the top-selling brand's primacy ahead of a wave of new electric car launches, the sources said. The tussle between VW and Skoda is reviving tensions at the heart of the Volkswagen group between profits and jobs, and between central control and autonomy for its 12 vehicle brands. "Instead of devoting our efforts to beating Tesla, we may just be setting up a futile internal conflict," said one manager. Once the butt of jokes, Skoda has blossomed under 26 years of VW group ownership into a successful mid-market carmaker, steadily winning business from rivals - including VW - and surpassing even Audi's operating profit margin last year. At the same time, VW is facing thousands of job cuts as management moves to trim excess capacity at German factories. Its powerful domestic unions see Skoda's success as both a threat and a potential lifeline. VW workers' representatives are now demanding the transfer of some Skoda production to their underused German plants, a source close to the supervisory board told Reuters. The proposal aims to offset declining output of the VW Passat and aging Golf that could otherwise threaten more jobs. They are also making the case that Skoda should pay higher royalties to use VW's main common vehicle platform. The so-called MQB architecture also underpins mid-sized models from the group's Audi and SEAT brands. Responding to the news, Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka said he would meet Skoda management and unions to ask for clarification. The government will seek to ensure that VW investment plans are followed through and that "production is not moved outside the country," a statement released by Sobotka's office said. Skoda's main union warned that a production shift could cost as many as 2,000 jobs. VW's works council declined to comment.
Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off
Fri, Nov 21 2014Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.
