White 1977 Volkswagen Bus on 2040-cars
Edinburg, Texas, United States
|
This bus was handed down to me after a friend of mine passed away. I have had it for almost a year and was trying to turn it into a little side project. It does not run however, I was told by the original owner that all it needs is a new starter and some electrical work to get it running. I purchased a brand new bosch starter for it and spark plugs, however I still never got around to getting it running (I have zero mechanical skills.) My main purpose for taking over this bus was to use it as a mobile photo booth for my photography business but the project has taken up too much time for us and we would prefer to get it into the hands of someone who knows what they are doing.
The inside of the bus was a disaster but for the most part, we cleaned it out and i put hardwood flooring in it. We painted it a little as well, however its not a professional interior paint job by any means. I also tinted all the windows minus the driver and passenger side windows and windshield. I also replaced most of the window seals Since I am no mechanic, I cannot say 100% what exactly it needs to start running, but the bus does have everything it needs (from engine to spark plugs) to function as long as someone can give it the TLC it needs. Other minor issues include, cracked windshield, sunroof seal leaks door hinges need cleaned and lubed tires need replaced along with lug nuts brakes (it might just need fluid) starter needs to be properly attached some lights need to be replaced minimal rust in some areas of the body (mainly on the floor around the pedals and passenger side) However, I puttied up the holes and are not visible. I was able to use this bus for a few of our events (We had to tow it) The milage only shows 56,000 miles on it. I also have both rear and front bumpers which are not attached to the bus in the photos I also have the middle and passenger seats. I removed the passenger seat to clean the area and I removed the middle seat to allow us to use it as a photo booth, however it can be put back in |

VW, Suzuki mulling rekindling relationship in face of legal battle
Sat, 27 Jul 2013Volkswagen and Suzuki have been undergoing marriage counseling in a bid to avoid finalizing their nasty divorce. The blissful union has been troubled for some time, with Volkswagen claiming that it could affect operational decisions at Suzuki, and the Japanese brand's sniping and constant flirting with a certain Italian temptress causing rifts.
The matter first went to court in 2012, when Suzuki demanded VW get out, and leave its 19.9-percent stake in the Japanese brand in a box to the left. Now, Automotive News is reporting that the company will give the relationship one last shot, according to closed-door dealings between the two in London.
Still, it's understood that VW and Suzuki recognize the benefit of their alliance, and that it'd be in the best interests of the kids both parties to make things work. Spokespeople declined to comment to AN, but the newsmagazine spoke with Frank Biller, an analyst for LBBW in Stuttgart, who said, "Both companies stand to benefit if they can overcome the disagreements over leadership claims."
Volkswagen offers Beetle Classic, priced from $20,195*
Tue, 23 Sep 2014The current Volkswagen Beetle already tries to be a fairly retro-looking ride by cribbing styling elements from the iconic original. However, for the new, limited-edition Classic model, VW is hopping into the time machine to grab even more vintage cues. The company is even cutting the price, perhaps in hopes of turning around flagging sales this year. You don't need to wait long for any of these upgrades either because the automaker says that the Classic goes on sale this week for $20,195, *excluding the $820 destination charge. That's $100 less than a bone-stock Beetle.
Starting as a standard Beetle with VW's 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 170 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, the Classic edition comes with a six-speed automatic and then adds some retro flair. It includes new vintage-look 17-inch wheels with simulated dog dish polished hubcaps over black spokes. It also comes with a rear spoiler, and the automaker is offering the model in Pure White, Black Uni, and Reflex Silver.
The interior mixes in a few more classic touches but includes modern amenities like a standard navigation system, satellite radio and multifunction steering wheel. However, the seats are finished in a two-tone design combining light brown leatherette on the sides and checked cloth centers, plus lumbar support for the driver's side. The shift knob and handbrake also get wrapped in leather.
