1958 VW panel from hit MTV show Pimp My Ride   
This iconic 1958 VW panel bus is from the MTV Television series Pimp My Ride customized 
by Xzibit and West Coast Customs. I purchased this a few years ago and 
had it on display at my office. Since, I have Sold my business and no longer 
have room. Motor and trans are stock. I just spent a couple thousand at 
VW specialist and had a major tune up done. They replaced spark plugs, 
ignition points, new wheel cylinders, rear brakes shoe set, fuel tank pulled 
and sealed like new, new fuel pump. She's starts right up and runs strong. 

The bus comes fully customized by WCC and Xzibit custom green 
and white paint job. The bus has Safari front windows, LCD TV, Playstation, DVD, CB, inverter, 
L-couch, Green neon lights, wood floors, Dryer/warmer, wet suit hanger, 
bus style Chill sign, Sound system, safari front split windows,Tiki rear lights, 
and more. Electronics work great.The only item not included from the tv show 
is the top mounted surfboard rack. 

Now, for what I can see that needs fixing; the bus has some small rust spots and 
dents that were on the bus prior to my ownership, not a lot but 
I state everything I see. Some weather strip attention, Front doors could 
use adjusting they don't shut the best. 

My mechanic's following recommendations: 
Steering box and steering pin need replaced. Transmission overhaul in its future. 
Shift rod bushing replaced. Last thing is the emergency brake cables need replaced. 

As you can read I state everything I know that is wrong personally and professionally. 
This bus is very unique and is a ICON to the late 70's early 80's generation. Every where its 
seen people recognize it. Not many panels left In America and the ones found are usually 
complete rust buckets and are selling for 5-15k. 

I have been driving the bus and she's fun and road worthy. Currently registered and Clean California title 
Has been stored indoors since my purchase of it in 2008 and was in a garage when I purchased it!-)

Volkswagen Multivan Alltrack Concept takes the luxury van life off road

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Volkswagen dug into its commercial vehicle fleet for its latest Geneva Motor Show concept, blending the versatile body of the T5 MultiVan with a luxuriously appointed interior, 4Motion all-wheel drive and a thrifty diesel powertrain.
That 177-horsepower diesel engine routes its power to the AWD system through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Based on that alone, we'd expect the Multivan Alltrack's behind-the-wheel experience to be somewhat familiar. That all-wheel-drive system and van body contribute to the 21-degree approach and 15-degree departure angles of this soft-roading MultiVan.
What wouldn't be familiar is its exquisite cabin. Volkswagen opted for a nautical theme for the concept's interior, featuring grey-blue leather seats from Poltrona Frau and a floor finished in real wood. The dark wood trim can also be found throughout the interior, running below the windows and on the dash.

VW looking to MAN up, ditch Mercedes van deal

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Unlike the US, the commercial truck market throughout the rest of the world is chocked full of competitors from many different automakers. Since 2006, Volkswagen has had a fullsize van called the Crafter that was a result of a partnership with Daimler AG and based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This partnership is supposed to last through 2016, but Reuters is reporting that VW might be looking to end its relationship with Daimler and create its own van in cooperation with German truck and bus maker MAN.
The article says that VW AG has more than a 75-percent stake in MAN, which would essentially be keeping the new commercial vehicle in-house. Even if VW bolts, Daimler still has a deal worked out in the commercial truck industry between its subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso and Renault-Nissan to supply the other with different trucks.

Lamando is Chinese for VW Jetta CC [w/video]

Sun, 31 Aug 2014

Volkswagen is not messing around when it characterizes its new MQB architecture as modular. It's already underpinning the VW Golf, Audi A3, Seat Leon and Skoda Octavia, and will soon form the basis for many more. And here is the latest.
Unveiled at the Chengdu Motor Show in China this weekend is the new Volkswagen Lamando, a four-door coupe similar in size to a Jetta but with the svelter roofline of the larger Passat-based CC to go after the Mercedes-Benz CLA. It's essentially the production version of the New Midsize Coupe concept that previewed its arrival at the Beijing Motor Show this past April, and will be built locally for local consumption by VW's joint venture with SAIC.
Power comes from either a 1.4- or 2.0-liter turbo four mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, with an equivalent price tag below $30,000. Whether this or any similar vehicle ever arrives in North American showrooms remains to be seen, but we'll be watching to find out. In the meantime you can scope it out in the trippy video below and the photos in the gallery above.
