Full Front Bench Seat (non Walk Through) Rare on 2040-cars
Year:1972
Mileage:220000
Location:
San Diego, California, United States
|
This is a fairly rare 1972 double sliding door panel van. It's an actual Kombi model built as a commercial vehicle by VW. The front seat is the full width, 3 passenger, non walk through type that makes this bus even more rare. I'm helping sell this on eBay for a friend who is the legal owner and everything is true to the best of my knowledge. I've taken several pictures trying my best to show all the flaws. It's possible I might have missed something and if I did it wasn't intensional. I've also driven the bus and here's what I found. The engine is a GE code 2000cc with hydraulic lifters retrofitted from either a 1978 or 1979 fuel injected bus. It starts right up and has a lot of power. There is a small oil leak and I'd guess that's from leaking push rod tube seals which are easy to replace. When running, the idle "hunts" and I believe this is caused by either a bad brake booster or maybe just the brake booster vacuum line has a leak, an easy fix. When shifting there is a slight gear grind going into third. The bus has some rust issues and the pictures should display that pretty well I think. The mileage is unknown but quite high. I can help arrange worldwide shipping for the buyer. A deposit of $500 is due within 48 hours via Paypal. The balance is due in 7 days via bank wire transfer. Please see my feedback and rest assured that I am an honest seller with 100% feedback rating. Full set of pictures can be viewed here: http://s433.photobucket.com/user/aeromech32254/library/Scott1972DoublesliderPanel Here's a statement from the owner:
I am the third owner of this van. It was originally imported by and
for the use of an Idaho VW dealer in 1972. It was purchased from that dealer in
1973 by one of the shops mechanics. I purchased the van from him around 1985. This
van carries a heavy pay load and has been a work vehicle all the time I have
owned it. Ithas carried wood, stone, compost, nursery inventory and more.
Around 1995 my mechanic replaced the engine and gas tank with one's out of a
van from the late 70's. I also had him add gauges and an external oil
filtration system made by amzoil. It's location history is approximately:
1972-1976 –
1976-1993 -
1993-2011 -
2011-present -
Since being driven to
This is the only bay window double door
slider I have ever seen with the bench seat. It came stock with 3 seat belts.
Feel free to ask questions. All information is accurate to the best of my knowledge.

VW Beetle R is one mean bug
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Volkswagen's R lineup currently consists of the Golf R in North America, and the too-cool-for-school Scirocco R in Europe. It hasn't exactly been a secret as to which VW would next get the R treatment; the German manufacturer reportedly confirmed that a hotter Beetle would be coming to the US. That announcement, in August 2011, was followed up by a production-ready Beetle R Concept at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.
After some wait, we're finally seeing spy shots of the Beetle R in Germany. The mule shown in the images here is wearing the R-Line bodykit, which adds sportier front and rear fascias, side skirts, dual exhausts and a not-so-subtle spoiler. Topped off with Volkswagen's traditional, five-spoke R wheels, we'd be just fine with the Beetle R coming to market as is.
Our spy photographer, though, seems to think that the production R will get even sportier sheetmetal, which we take to mean the more assertive look shown on the Frankfurt show car. Larger intakes on the front fascia, a bigger rear spoiler and vertical vents on the rear bumper could all be upcoming. Whether a production model will include the concept's polished wheels (R cars haven't traditionally embraced that look), vented hood and the quad-tipped exhausts remains to be seen.
UAW angered over VW workers getting right to defend anti-union vote
Thu, 13 Mar 2014The United Auto Workers have called a decision by the National Labor Relations Board allowing anti-UAW employees at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga the right to defend voting down unionization at the plant "an outrage."
You'll recall that the union was defeated by a vote of 712 to 626 in a contentious February election. The UAW claims the outcome was unfairly swayed by pro-business, anti-union forces, including Senator Bob Corker and political advocate Grover Norquist.
This new decision by the NLRB essentially gives workers backed by the anti-UAW National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation and Southern Momentum a formal voice in the impending hearing on the UAW's appeal of the vote.
