Wrustfalia 71 Subaru Conversion. on 2040-cars
Los Angeles, California, United States
Don't let the rust fool ya, this is a small RV that can take you any where today, very reliably. Just have fun with the rust, every on looks at it and admires the road worrier look and adventure of this wonderful camper. It is almost fully contained with a working Stove, Fridge, Furnace, two water heaters front and rear. "That's wright, very hot interior heat in a VW" It is the very first Subaru conversion done in Montana back in the late 80's by the guy how started the conversions. A big crude and experimental this conversion is set up with what was available back in the 80's an 1800 Brat motor. I just drove it from Missoula MT this month and did 70 MPH all the way ever through Vegas 104 temp. I would trust this bus all the way to Florida and back. It drives like a hover craft, very smooth, steers great, brand new ties, New front brakes and hoses, fresh tune up and valve adjustment oil, cap rotor, points set up and a brand new alternate. The top mounted radiator is the best place for cooling and is a big attention getter, never over heats and has a water temp gauge, all the gauge's work. whippers, blinkers, all lights. If you wanted to drive any where with confidence this summer and save by camping in this bus, she will deliver. The interior is in quite good shape, it is a stock Westfalia interior with an added Fridge( A/C D/C and propane operated) and stove "Working" and the original sink and water tank with hand pump. The seats have been reupholstered and the curtains are new with a full privacy front curtain. New rear carpet. No holes in the floors and still has the original canvas top. i thought it would be fun to theme this bus as the Wrustfalia in-tell some one wants to do the body work one day but the rest is all in very good or better shape. Not shown in the picks is a factory child's cot, a rear screen, and an original jack located under the front seat. Any questions call me Mark 323-947-9059 boxheadrev@yahoo.com... I reserve the wight to end early. Have fun bidding and camping.

Editors' Choice: Top Five 2013 Geneva Motor Show Debuts
Fri, 08 Mar 2013We'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.
Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
Audi, Fiat squabbling over numbers and letters
Mon, Jan 19 2015There have been rumors and speculation and prognostications about a Nissan Juke- and Mini Cooper-fighting Audi Q2 since 2012. There have been the same for a performance-oriented Q4 since 2011, perhaps previewed by the TT Offroad concept shown last year at the Beijing Motor Show. Turns out that those two alphanumeric combos are the only ones missing from the series Q1 to Q9 in Audi's trademark stable, and the Ingolstadt company wants to get them to make its badge sequence and crossover lineup complete. But Fiat owns them, and rumor is, CEO Sergio Marchionne appears to have no interest in selling them. Fiat has used the Q2 and Q4 like trim badges, identifying whether a company product has two-wheel or all-wheel drive. They did it with the Alfa Romeo 159 sedan, and they do it now on the Maserati Quattroporte S and Ghibli S Q4 sedans. Car magazine says Marchionne "may not be categorically opposed to selling the rights," but he absolutely won't do it to any fiefdom in the Volkswagen empire, which would leave Audi a jilted suitor. Why is Sergio being so serious? VW Group CEO Ferdinand Piech first starting waving torches on the bridge between the two companies when he said Alfa Romeo could sell four times as many cars if Volkswagen owned it, then burned the bridge when it continued to publicize its desire to buy Alfa Romeo. VW followed that up by throwing salt on the land around the destroyed bridge with its aggressive pricing in Europe during the worst of the car sales slump there, which Marchionne said was causing a "bloodbath." VW's final flourish was to set the river itself on fire, when a press officer said Marchionne wasn't qualified to head the European Automotive Manufacturers Association (ACEA) and VW would quit the organization if he did take the top spot. That is why, putting it optimistically, Audi looks to have a grim chance of getting the Q2 and Q4 marques from the Italian. So long as he is in power, at least: Marchionne said he's walking away from the job in 2018. Audi might have a better chance bending the knee to, and generously rewarding, his successor.
