Presenting this beautifully restored 1974 Volkswagen Camper Van. I am a very
picky buyer picking only the driest of what's still available. I am having to go
further and further to find one of my strict criteria. This one took me 6 months to
find. She was the perfect candidate. When she was found, She had no evidence of
any previous accidents other than a few small of dings and dents
showing her age.
Work invested; The first step was a complete strip down of the entire interior,
Remove the 1800-cc engine. Remove the entire brake system. Strip all hardware
from the outside. Remove all the glass, remove all the doors, Disassemble the
front doors. Any rust found was ground off or cut out and new metal welded in
place. She was then sanded in several levels of grit to remove the original paint in
preparation of a new coat of prime. Final sanding was taken to a smooth 600
before primer was applied. After several coats of Prime she had a final sand of
1000 making her smooth as a babies bottom. Three coats of the highest quality
paint applied in Cream White Inside and out. The base coat was then sanded with
1000. Time for the Clear! 5 Coats of clear was applied over a four day period, Then
left to harden. The final stages where a sanding of 1000 and then a final sanding of
1500 making her shine! The last and final stage was several
passes of heavy compound to bring out that real mirror shine! In all the paint took
20 days from start to finish. The pop top shell and luggage wrack was removed and
painted with three coats of Alpine white. The wheels where sandblasted primed and
painted with three coats of alpine white. The luggage wrack tie downs were
| removed sanded and freshened up with 3 new coat of Galvanize to prevent rust. |

All new rubbers were installed for the new windshield, side windows, front door side
window wiper rubbers are new, front door seals, side window seals, louver window
seals rear hatch seal, rear window rubber, and engine compartment door seals
have all been replaced new. Even the small bead rubber for the slider cover and
driver side have been replaced. The engine skirt seal is new as well.
The interior was taken to a local seamstress who uses a heavy stitch and thick
vinyl-imitation leather that will last for many years. Nice smooth calming colors
where used in the interior to induce a warm feel that one should have when
enjoying time away from work with the family. It also has that new car smell as a
result of the renovation. The cabinets where carefully gone through and the proper
fasteners and glue where applied to make them as strong as the day they where
new. Then removed the old worn out laminate and restored with beautiful light
colored White Poplar. Then three coats of clear sealer was sprayed on and wet
sanded with a fine grit for a long lasting satin look. She has three 12 volt Power
supplies installed one in the dash one next to the R&R bed and one on the back for
Laptop or Cell phone recharging. Two New Batteries were installed along with a "1",
"2", "All", "Off" four position battery switch for worry free camping. A
new CD Pioneer player with USB and i Pad connect-ability surround system was
installed with four 6" high quality sound system speakers A new Pop-top three
window tent was installed. The front door handles and ignition switch were replaces
new so all the locks work smoothly from inside and out locking the bus completely
except for the slider which locks from the inside. The engine was completely
disassembled. The case and heads where taken to a local machine shop to be
reconditioned. The cylinders where honed and checked for clearances. The rods
and crank where balanced. The Valves where inspected and reseated, New
Rings, Main bearings and Cam bearings were installed. A Hydraulic camshaft and
lifters were installed for super smooth low maintenance operation. With the
hydraulic valve train she idles like a Swiss time piece. All new gaskets and seals
applied. A complete intake and Weiber Progressive carburetor system was
installed. The fuel tank was removed and replaced with a freshly reconditioned
Tank and new filler Hose. New fuel line from the Tank to the carb along with a new
fuel pump was installed for the smoothest and safest fuel delivery. New Bosch
Mechanical advance Distributor and Electronic ignition replacing the out dated
points for easy starting and maintenance free operation. New cap and Rotor where
installed with 7mm solid core plug wires. She starts one crank Cold or
Warm. She sits and purrrs without missing a beat! The Transmission shifts firmly
into all gears and is super easy to find all the gears with the New Bosch
aftermarket shifter and new shift coupler. A new Bosch clutch was installed with a
freshly turned flywheel and pressure plate to ensure smooth clutch operation. The
Brake system was gone through with all the lines and reservoirs completely
flushed. A new master cylinder, shoes and pads installed for easy braking. She
starts, runs drives and brakes very well. 5 New GOODYEAR 185/70R/14 tires
installed all the way around including the spare. The entire electrical
system was gone through to ensure all lights, turn signals, brake, hazard and
reverse lights, dash lights, indicator lights, interior lights All work perfectly. New
light lenses where installed front and rear, New side marker and license plate lights
were installed. The horn even works! The final step took about a week. I crawled
under her with a pressure washer, wire wheel and wire brushes of various sizes
and completely scrubbed and scraped all the old undercoating and any rust found
from the under carriage. I then treated the whole undercarriage with rust
treatment. I then used a spray on rubberized undercoating under the main body
and used truck bed liner coating under the wheel wells for a hard rust free coating
years to come. In all, I put 6 months of my life and a lot of money to restore this
beauty. No expense was spared. This baby has it all!
I take pride in every bus I create. I strive to create the most user friendly
maintenance free best dream bus that anyone would be proud to own.
I can and will ship her WORLD WIDE! I can have her delivered
safely to the loading docks for a small fee. |

We've returned from a very busy week in Switzerland, and in going back over all of our 75 stories from the Geneva Motor Show, our editors have gathered up their personal favorite debuts from the European expo.
The wonderful thing about the Geneva show is just how wide of an array of vehicles are on display - everything from funny little one-off EVs to the most exotic of supercars to, well, truly ridiculous displays of coachbuilding. And because of that, this list of our editors' favorites might not be as predictable as you think.
But we don't want to give anything away just yet. Scroll down to have a look at our team's favorites from Geneva.

While the vast number of rumors made it seem like a foregone conclusion, Porsche boss Matthias Muller has officially been named Volkswagen Group CEO to replace the recently resigned Martin Winterkorn. His contract runs through the end of February 2020, and until a replacement is found, Muller also gets to hang onto his old job as chairman of Porsche. At the same time, the VW Group Supervisory Board is announcing a massive structural reorganization across the entire company, with the new management model in place by the beginning of 2016. Contrary to previous rumors, Michael Horn remains as President and CEO of VW Group of America. The board wants a greater emphasis on brands and regions going forward, and the scale of this shift can be seen in the US. On November 1, VW Group business in the US, Mexico, and Canada is being combined under the leadership of current Skoda chairman Winfried Vahland. However contrary to previous rumors, Michael Horn remains as President and CEO of VW Group of America. Other brands are also seeing some significant changes mechanically. Porsche, Bentley, and Bugatti now fall under the Group's "sportscar and mid-engine toolkit." This means that the brands will start sharing standardized technical parts. A Chief Technical Officer across all of the company's brands will also start working toward future innovations. The new brand-centric view means the end of a group-wide production department. "Going forward, the brands and regions will also have greater independence with regard to production. So it follows that they should also hold the responsibility for these activities," Berthold Huber, interim Chairman of the Supervisory Board, said in the announcement. In a statement with the press release about his promotion, Muller promised to turn the company around after such an international crisis. He said: "My most urgent task is to win back trust for the Volkswagen Group – by leaving no stone unturned and with maximum transparency, as well as drawing the right conclusions from the current situation. Under my leadership, Volkswagen will do everything it can to develop and implement the most stringent compliance and governance standards in our industry." Matthias Muller appointed CEO of the Volkswagen Group Muller remains Chairman of Porsche AG until a successor has been found Matthias Muller (62) has been appointed CEO of Volkswagen AG with immediate effect.

Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.
