I sadly have to sell my sweet bus (tax man). Except for the paint ( witch is OG ) Everthing has been replaced, powder coated or painted. The best of everything: Wolfberg West, Berg, Wagens West etc... NO RUST! Everything new or  rebuilt, 1776cc Type 1 engine ( all CB ), new trans, suspension, interior, guages, dash, trim, most rubber, tires, rims, brakes, dropped spindles, steering box, starter w/booster, fuel system, carbs, battery, cables, wiring, fuel lines, hoses, windshield, wipers, seals (about the only remaining original ones are the door seals because new ones make doors harder to shut, but new ones are included in the sale), etc, etc....Everything! I started this bus as nothing but a shell. A perfect, desert shell. The patina on this 100% original finish Red/White combo bus is the best you will find. Could not be duplicated without 40 years of not being repainted, crashed, dented or rusted! 

I am a 2nd generation VW specialist with 30 years in the industry. I own and operate Honest Engine of Midtown where the majority of work is on Hondas and Toyotas these days, but still have a select special client base for all things VW. I have built literally hundreds of air cooled motors for clients and a few custom complete builds, but this entire bus was built as my personal daily driver / shop vehicle. It has only been shown a few times but already collected trophies.

 Check the oil, turn the key & go anywhere you want. This is a turn key vehicle and is as-new as a used 74 can possibly be.

Did I mention this bus came with A/C? ....not currently functioning but still a cool (no pun intended) and rare accessory to have that could be retrofitted to work again.

Sweet Nor Cal Relics roof rack ( powder coated ) Z-bed & table. The whole bus is Dyna Matted, there is a trailer hitch system on it, wood floor, all new rubber mats, AM,FM,CD player w/DVD.

4000 miles on it since it was finished. Please call if there are any questions  916-600-5406. There is really too much to list, if you want a great bus that all you have to do is drive, this is the one.

2014 VW Golf brings storied hatchback's seventh generation to US

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf in US-specification officially debuts at the 2013 New York Auto Show. The new model is the first VW in the States to ride on the company's MQB architecture, and as such, it makes use of plenty of high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel to keep weight down. All told, the new shell is 51 pounds lighter than the outgoing generation, despite the fact that the finished car is a full 2.2 inches longer and .5 inches wider than the 2013 model.
Buyers can expect to find a base model powered by a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (blue car above) with 170 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. That means the powerplant delivers the same horsepower as the old naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder while weighing less and producing seven extra pound-feet of torque. TDI (silver car above) buyers, meanwhile, will enjoy a new 2.0-liter turbo diesel four-cylinder mill. VW says the engine yields 10 more horsepower than the old lump, which means the Golf TDI now boasts 150 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque.
GTI (red car above) buyers will now get their hands on a revised 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with approximately 210 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque - Volkswagen hasn't finalized power numbers for that machine. We're happy to see that the GTI still features its trademark plaid seats. Volkswagen says the new Golf and GTI will go on sale as a 2015 model, but doesn't say when the car will actually hit dealerships.

VW beams in Star Trek stars to promote e-Golf EV

Tue, Oct 7 2014

Volkswagen just set its e-mobility commercial phasers on stunning. The German automaker has cast Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock of Star Trek fame (i.e., actors William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy) in a new advertisement for its growing stable of electric vehicles. Even though it's in German, we think you can get the idea. VW went Hollywood and cast the two veteran actors in a futuristic-themed 45-second ad, which sees Shatner cruise up in the e-Golf (with a toothy Trek-fan kid in tow) while Nimoy rocks the XL1 and the Trek theme blares in the background. Forget for a moment that the kid in the commercial wasn't even born when Shatner started pitching for Priceline, let alone the original Trek series and just enjoy the wholesome good humor of Shatner saying that the electric powertrain is just like the one in a spaceship. If you've got any familiarity with Spock, you should be able to understand his punch line, too. Of course, if you'd rather your German vehicle advertisements were set in the Star Wars universe, we recommend clicking here. VW will bring the e-Golf to the states in November at a price of $35,445, about $6,500 higher than the Nissan Leaf's starting pricetag. You can see the new ad and a number of related behind-the-scenes videos (in English) below. Our Quick Spin of the E-up! are available here. This content is hosted by a third party.
