See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Overall a great Bus. No emissions where I live so if you need to pass emissions it will need a muffler and catalytic converter. Interior is starting to show some age. no rips or tears but the wallpaper like covering that VW put on back then is starting to peel from the age of the glue. The pop top has a tear on the drivers side and the screen needs a new zipper. Also needs new gasket around the pop top. The Odometer is broken and shows 300,000 miles, I was told that due to plastic gears they would start to roll over the 100,000 marker when the 10,000 mile rolled over The drivers side window roller has recently snapped, and there is a plastic piece that has broken off the front bumper and there is surface rust on the front and rear Chrome bumpers. I have been shown that Turtle wax and elbow grease will remove most of this. LP hook up will need to be replaced due to age due to Park Ranger regulations. I was told that the sink works though I have never used it, The refrigerator works"

Great restoration project. All the mechanical work has been done with the exception of the Catalytic Converter and the Muffler. Needs a new pop-top I was going to repair it but after research discovered that it is cheaper to replace the entire top as it comes with the seal which alone is about $80. The Odometer is broken and shows that it has 300,000 miles. I have had two different VW experts whom have said that the plastic gears had a problem of wearing out and causing the 100,000 mile number to roll over when the 10,000 mile marker rolled. I have also had both the mechanics assure me that it probably has around 120,000-150,000 miles on it based on the condition of engine. I have replaced the entire Brake system along with the entire fuel system including the tank, hoses, lines, injectors, and filler pipes. Tires, Alternator, Belt are new as well. There are a few pieces of surface rust that need to be sanded and painted but no frame rust at anywhere on the vehicle. The sink has not been used as far as I can see, I have never used the stove but after talking to a Park Ranger was told the connector has to be replaced often to avoid a citation.

I bought this car a restoration project but have neither the time or money to finish it now. Whomever purchases this vehicle will have a great car that is one of last of the air-cooled classic VW's ever made. Makes a great camping or road trip car or a quick restoration project for a quick profit. Happy Bidding!

Payment will be thru paypal and buyer is responsible for shipping or pickup in Chattanooga TN. The car is registered in Georgia which will not issue titles for cars over 25 years old. I have discussed this with the Tag Office and they said the sale with be fine with a Bill of Sale and the Registration. You will need to see if your state will issue a title or if you will just need to register the car.

Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Mercedes also under diesel emissions scrutiny

Sat, Oct 10 2015

The controversy over Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal isn't limited to the US. In Europe, where diesel engines are far more popular, the issue is shining a harsh light on the NEDC emissions test. As already known, the evaluation does a poor job of reflecting real-world production of NOx, and it appears a significant number of automakers are affected. The Guardian in the UK has been reporting on real-world test results from a company called Emissions Analytics. After the latest round of checks, vehicles from Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Mazda and Mitsubishi were found to generate far more NOx than they should. The newspaper also published similar results for Renault, Nissan, Hyundai, Fiat, Volvo, Jeep, Citroen, VW, and Audi. On average, the figures are about four times over the limit of producing the pollutant. Unlike VW and its defeat device, these automakers aren't actually breaking the rules. The vehicles perform up to the NEDC lab test for emissions, but those results simply aren't translated to the street. "The VW issue in the US was purely the trigger which threw light on a slightly different problem in the EU - widespread legal over-emissions," Nick Molden from Emissions Analytics said to The Guardian. A big fight to decide the future of this issue appears to be on the horizon. Automakers claim that they can't meet the next round of tightening emissions regulations and are asking for compromises. Although, spokespeople for Mercedes and Honda told The Guardian that the brands would be in favor of the stricter rules. Meanwhile, some European governments began backtracking their support of diesels well before this scandal came to light. The added scrutiny certain hasn't helped the future of the oil-burner.

Weekly Recap: Mercedes, Volkswagen spend big as import automakers invest in North America

Sat, Mar 14 2015

Import automakers are on a building frenzy in North America as resurgent car sales have prompted companies to expand their manufacturing footprints to meet rising demand. That was evidenced this week when Mercedes-Benz announced plans to build a $500-million factory to produce the Sprinter commercial van, and Volkswagen confirmed a whopping $1-billion investment to expand its massive plant in Mexico. Meanwhile Jaguar Land Rover reportedly wants to build a factory in North America, but not for at least three years, and Hyundai is said to be expanding in the southern United States. The common thread in all of this expansion? Trucks, time and money. Mercedes wants to capitalize on the burgeoning work van segment in the United States and will break ground in 2016 on a 200-acre site in Charleston, SC, to build the next-generation Sprinter. The site will have a paint shop, body shop and an assembly line, and 1,300 people will be employed when production ramps up. Why do this, when Mercedes has immense van operations in Germany? It's cheaper to build in the US for the US market. Building locally allows Mercedes to avoid import taxes, forego a complex shipping process that involves partially disassembling German-built Sprinters and naturally, reduces the time it takes to deliver finished trucks to their buyers. "This plant is key to our future growth in the very dynamic North American van market," Volker Mornhinweg, head of Mercedes-Benz Vans, said in a statement. He was speaking about Mercedes and vans, but another German automotive giant, Volkswagen, had similar motives for its mammoth expansion plans in Puebla, Mexico. The added space and production capacity will allow VW to build a three-row version of the Tiguan, and provide another crossover for its US lineup that's light on SUVs. The current Tiguan has two rows. The factory will be able to churn out 500 units daily of the larger variant, and they will be sold in North and South America. It will arrive in the US in mid-2017, a spokesman told Autoblog. VW also plans to build another crossover, a midsize seven-passenger vehicle, at its growing Chattanooga, TN, site. "Localization has become key to safeguarding our competitive position on the global market, and manufacturing the Tiguan in Mexico will bring production closer to the US market," Michael Horn, CEO of Volkswagen Group of America, said in a statement.

Volkswagen Golf R Variant ready to haul ass, stuff

Thu, Nov 20 2014

Volkswagen seems to be playing a cruel trick on the American automotive public at the Los Angeles Auto Show. It's displaying its sexy Golf R Variant with no clear intention of actually selling the model here. The hot wagon launches in Europe in the spring, but the automaker makes absolutely no mention of the model's prospects in the US. Hopefully, its appearance in LA at least indicates VW is considering bringing it stateside. The great thing about this wagon is that it has everything that the regular Golf R offers, but there's even more room to carry stuff. The same 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine makes 296 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque with a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox and 4Motion all-wheel drive. Performance is very close, too, with the Variant R taking 5.1 seconds to get to 62 miles per hour versus the 4.9 seconds the standard R needs to read 60 mph. The two of them also have the same tech goodies like ESC Sport stability control and multiple damping modes. The real advantage to opting for the estate is its ability to carry up to 57.2 cubic feet of cargo in the back. This hot rod wagon would seem to be perfect for the family that needs to haul some extra junk in the trunk, but doesn't want to sacrifice performance. Whether the Variant R makes it to the US remains a mystery, though. Scroll down to read the specs and feel a twinge of jealousy.
