This 79 Camper was recently pulled out of a retired VW Mechanics shop where it has sat on his lift since 1997. About 10 years ago he pulled the motor and had the heads rebuilt after dropping a valve on the freeway. The bottom end of the motor was rebuilt by him about 8,000 miles before that. Looking at the motor the heads look NEW but the motor case is a little dirty and you can tell that it has had some mile on it since it was rebuilt. He never finished the install and has not fired since he put it back together. We finished the install, replaced some fuel lines, flushed the tank several times until we weren't getting any more junk out of it, replaced the battery, put on new german factory exhaust and she fired right up. We also replaced the tires and refinished the wheels while the tires were off. We sent off a few cushions on the inside and had them reupholstered using the original fabric from the back bed cushion and had it recovered with matching vinyl. The entire interior was cleaned meticulously including pulling the rear seat and pressure washing the carpet. The carpet does show signs of wear and an all weather carpet mat was cut and installed over the original carpet. The bus shows 33,000 on the odometer which I am told is really 133,000 miles. The interior has some scuffs here and there and some of the paneling is cracked but all in all it is very clean and everyone who sees it is amazed that it is all original. All of the T-molding on the edges of tables and cabinets was replaced but we couldn't locate the smaller T-molding where the cabinets come together so there is some molding that is a little warped from age. A new PGW windshield was installed along with a new rubber gasket. Front mat was removed as were the front seats and everything scrubbed, cleaned and waxed. The tent top is in great shape with some marks and scuffs. The bug screen has a couple of small holes but is very nice. The exterior of the bus was completely rubbed out using a heavy cut cleaner and waxed. There are a couple of small dents and dings that can be seen in the pics. Very little rust on this bus with the exception of the rear wheel wells, 2 holes in the battery tray the size of a quarter and a couple of small rust spots in the doglegs. There were several spots on the surface of the paint that had bad rust spots and when these were polished out we had to rub through the paint into the primer but they are not noticeable from 5 to 10 feet away. This bus drives very nice. Brakes work great but just today it developed a squeak in the right front. I plan to pull the wheel and clean the pads as the pads and rotors look new. This bus is original paint with the exception of the nose. It was painted years ago and is slightly off on color. The bumpers have also been repainted with white semi gloss single stage. I haven't checked any of the plumbing to see if it works and I have NOT fired the stove. Checking the plumbing and propane fittings will be left up to the new owner.  This thing has a SWEET tape deck, amp, and 8 speakers. Sounds Great for as old as it is. Sold AS IS, WHER IS.  Will be happy to meet your shipper.  I have put about 500 miles on this bus in the last week and have had zero problems with it except for a squeak or two from the right front brake pads.  Email or call with questions. Thanks Jeremy (208)200-6053

VW Sport Coupe Concept GTE 'marks beginning of a new design era' [w/video]

Mon, Mar 2 2015

You didn't think that Volkswagen was going to come to Geneva armed only with a bunch of European-market minivans and wagons, did you? Of course not. Last week VW gave us our first glimpse at a new show car for the Swiss auto expo, and here it is in full: the Volkswagen Sport Coupe Concept GTE. Set to be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show this week, the Sport Coupe is envisioned as a successor to the current CC, but beyond previewing a specific model, this concept showcases a new design language that's set to characterize all new VWs to come. And judging by how good it looks from the images in the slideshow above, that could prove to be a very good thing indeed. The concept strikes us as the sleekest iteration yet of the company's flexible MQB architecture that already underpins vehicles as small as the Golf and as large as the new Skoda Superb. It's larger than the current CC in every dimension but height, and pushes the wheels further out on a longer wheelbase. And with a liftgate at the back instead of a trunk, it strikes a form more similar to the Audi A7 than the Passat-based CC. As with recent past concepts, VW has taken the opportunity to showcase its hybrid powertrain technologies, fitting the Sport Coupe with a plug-in hybrid system that couples a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 to a pair of electric motors and a six-speed dual-clutch transmission. The internal combustion engine drives 295 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque to the front wheels, while an electric motor integrated into the gearbox contributes another 54 hp and a second one kicks in 114 hp at the rear. Juiced by a lithium-ion battery housed in the center tunnel and offering all-wheel traction, the combined output of 374 hp is said to be capable of propelling the concept to 62 miles per hour in five seconds flat and on to a top speed of 155 mph. It can travel for 32 miles on electric power alone and on to an overall range of 745 miles, netting the equivalent of 118 miles per gallon on the European cycle. Inside, the four-seat cabin is laden with digital displays: there's a 12.3-inch unit – dominated by the speedo and power meter – in place of a conventional instrument cluster. The center stack incorporates a 10.1-inch infotainment display, and the rear-seat passengers have access to another 12.3-inch display at the back of the center console and another pair of 10.1-inch displays in the seatbacks.

VW says it has sold over 100,000 TDI diesels in America this year

Thu, 26 Dec 2013

Volkswagen Group of America has lit oil-burning fireworks to celebrate the sales of more than 100,000 TDI Clean Diesel vehicles in the US between its VW and Audi brands this year. According to VW, that means it is responsible for more than 75 percent of diesel-engined cars and SUVs sold here - perhaps not surprising when the two brands offer a total of 12 diesel models.
What might be surprising is that the number of diesels isn't far off the estimated sales of 90,000 battery electric vehicles and PHEVs, with 15,000 of those accounted for by the Tesla Model S, another 12,000 or so being the Toyota Prius PHEV.
VW's keen to play up the ease of making diesel part of your life, stressing that it doesn't need any change to the refueling infrastructure and that "this is a technology delivering real answers to society's concerns about fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions without compromises."

FCA to pay buyers $1,700 to swap out of scandal-mired VWs

Tue, Oct 6 2015

FCA is trying to gain some sales from arch-rival VW in the competitive European market by offering potential buyers in Italy up to $1,700 to swap into an FCA group car. While the promotion isn't specifically targeted at TDI owners affected by the emissions scandal, it is clearly intended to turn dissatisfaction with VW's defeat device cheat into additional sales, Bloomberg reports. The 500-1,500 euro incentive (roughly $560-1,700, depending on vehicle) stacks on top of any other rebates or deals applicable, and applies if a buyer brings in any of Volkswagen Group's cars – including Audi, Skoda, and SEAT, among (many) others. As Bloomberg notes, it's normal for automakers to offer "conquest" deals – giving a buyer cash for trading in a competitor's vehicle. Those deals aren't usually limited to one company's products, however; FCA's program looks specifically to take advantage of VW's legal and public relations nightmare. FCA isn't the only automaker trying this trick in Italy. Automotive News Europe also reported that Ford is offering approximately $840 in incentives across its entire range to owners of VW vehicles seeking to trade in for a Ford. No word of yet as to whether these incentives will spread beyond Italy or to other automakers.Related Video:
