1979 VW camper

I have the buyers order where it was purchased new in Ft Worth Texas and spent most of its life on west coast making it practically rust free. You can still see the original paint and seam sealant on the undercarriage and wheel wells, around windshield, rockers, and even the battery box is original and solid.  There is some surface rust , few pin holes, and a couple of small minor dents that were filled years ago but other than that  the body is in excellent shape.

 I have the receipt for a new long block 2.0 engine that was installed 13k miles ago. Runs great with plenty of power, fresh tune up and oil change, new 55 amp alternator. Clutch works smooth 4 speed tranny shifts great. Lights, turn signals, and wipers all work,  doors open and shut good, windows all work properly. Brand new tires with less than 300 miles on them ; she drives great;  brakes are awesome they will stop on a dime. I drive this bus daily with no issues. Odometer shows 46,104  I am assuming it is 146,104.

The interior is clean and neat fold down bed works smooth and has full size bed in pop top. New laminate floor installed in camper area. Baby hammock is there and rear bug shield  Has working sink and propane stove, also has electric fridge but I have not gotten it to work properly and it trips the breaker when plugged in. Will need the canvas replaced on the pop up, white vinyl was removed from wood headliner leaving adhesive residue and has minor amount of moisture that has come thru between the pop tops on the drivers side(see pics). The fuel gauge is not working, starter will drag  occasionally but never fails to start, and it leaks a little oil from the rubber oil filler tube.

I have given you all the good bad and ugly about this classic bus so you can bid with confidence. You are welcome to come drive and look at bus anytime or you can call me with any questions at 270-491-0763. I have many  more pictures and some videos if you need them just ask I will be glad to get them to you.

I prefer local pick up but will work with a shipping company to get this bus to your location as long as you arrange it and pay them directly. $500 deposit required thru pay pal with remainder paid at time of pick up in cash, or wire transfer for buyers requiring shipping. This is a 33 year old bus so there is no warranty or returns. Thanks for looking and don't miss out on this very solid bus with loads of potential for fun or investment.

2014 Volkswagen Beetle GSR is black and yellow, black and yellow

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Way back in 1973, Volkswagen decided it was high time to take the loveable air-cooled Bug racing. No, it wasn't painted in Herbie colors - Volkswagen called its sport-tuned machine the Beetle GSR, "Gelb Schwarzer Renner" or "Yellow Black Racer." Hence, the somewhat shocking paint scheme.
VW is bringing its sporty black and yellow Beetle back for 2014, and you can see live photos of it above. It's got a 210-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine under the hood (that'd be the hood up front, unlike the car's forebear), and a six-speed manual or DSG automatic transmission sends those ponies to the front wheels. Note that this car's output is up 10 horses on other turbo VWs, and the Jetta GLI and Beetle Turbo for 2013. The 0-60 run takes 6.6 seconds, and top speed is limited to 130 miles per hour.
Besides the in-your-face black and yellow paint, the GSR is outfitted with a large rear spoiler and 19-inch wheels shod with 235/40 tires. The bee-like hue carries over inside, with yellow stitching on black leather. Only 3,500 will be produced, each with its own unique plaque. Pricing has not yet been announced, but you're free to read through the press release below all the same.

Volkswagen could build plug-in hybrids in China

Sun, Apr 6 2014

When you're Europe's largest automaker and your largest global market happens to be the one most notorious for its pollution (China), some solutions just present themselves. Volkswagen may be heeding that call. During the upcoming Beijing Motor Show, the company is expected to announce plans to produce plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in China, Reuters says, citing sources within the company. Few details have emerged, though the plug-ins will likely be produced at VW's Foshan factory in South China, which currently makes the Golf and Audi A3 and has plans to eventually make 600,000 vehicles annually. News has been percolating for a while, as Oliver Schmidt, general manager engineering and environmental office for Volkswagen Group of America, said last March that the company was planning at least two plug-in hybrid lines under the VW badge (and another three with its Audi and Porsche affiliates), including possibly a Touareg and Jetta PHEV. VW said late last month that it was looking to speed up development of "particularly eco-friendly models" made by Shanghai Volkswagen as well as developing a "new, very eco-friendly vehicle" with First Automotive Works (FAW). Earlier this year, VW unveiled its Golf GTE plug-in hybrid at the Geneva Motor Show. That model has a 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine and an electric motor to provide 201 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. The car can travel as many as 81 miles on electric power alone.

Volkswagen says goodbye to Eos, Routan in 2015 updates

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

Usually automakers announce changes to their lineup individually on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis, but sometimes it all comes at once - especially when the changes are ones we either expected or might not otherwise notice. That's the path Volkswagen has gone with changes to its US lineup for 2015.
The biggest change is what we already knew: that the new Golf arrives for the 2015 model year, bringing with it the new GTI, Golf R, e-Golf and Golf SportWagen (to replace the previous Jetta wagon). But there are some new details as well.
For starters, Volkswagen has finally confirmed that both the Eos and the Routan - both long rumored to be on their way out - will be exiting this year. The Eos hardtop convertible, pictured above, will linger for one last year, its Sport trim replaced by a new Final Edition with 18-inch wheels, two-tone leather interior and enhanced equipment.
