1970 Vw Camper Van on 2040-cars
Sedan, Kansas, United States
|
Up for sale at "No Reserve" except for a low starting price, is a very nice, clean, original, unmolested 1970 Camper Van. This is a California Van from the Lancaster desert area with no rust outside of light surface rust on the bumper guards, and wheels. The Van originally belonged to my parents who bought it with only a few thousand miles on it. As their daily driver it racked up quite a few miles, but was very well maintained. Because of an inaccurate speedometer I am not sure of the exact mileage on the van. At some point the engine was replaced with a German remanufactured engine. We have most of the maintenance records from the time it was new. A light restoration would bring it back up to near perfect condition, with little work, given it's age and mileage. The original owners manual is still in the glove box, and the original tool kit is still under the back seat. The van starts, runs and drives very well. We brought the car back to Kansas with the intention of going through it, and keeping it for ourselves. With all of our other car projects the van went to the "back burner" and has just been setting. It is time to let someone else give it the attention it deserves. You would be hard pressed to find another VW this nice, and original. Smoke-free environment. This will make someone a really nice camper. We have tried to include enough photos to show the overall condition with the areas that need attention. Although I feel this vehicle is very reliable, and would drive it anywhere, it is a 44 year old collector vehicle and should be viewed as such. If you are not familiar with the care and maintenance that these older VW's require, this may not be the car for you. PROS: The rear seat folds down and makes into a nice bed There is a sink with an air pressure water tank Folding table and trays Ice box Original front privacy curtains Original awning for pattern, also needs poles We have patterns for all the window curtains Small clothes closet Small closet and mirrored cupboard above sink Original tool kit and jack under backseat storage compartment Original owners manual in glove box Has one, 120 volt outlet Radio and cigarette lighter both work Small camp stool/storage container with camp utensils, can be seen in photo Has clear Kansas title Has 4 new tires Has new battery Fresh tune-up CONS: Brakes should be checked (due to age) Engine runs fine, but a little on the rich side Small stone chip left hand side of windshield which can be seen in the photo with front curtain installed Small dent above left rear wheel Steering sector adjustment Plastic cabinet knobs, and sun visor stays need to be replaced due to age Drivers seat worn, can be seen in photo Floor mat worn, can be seen in photo Cover on bed needs new upholstery, can be seen photo Needs waxing and buffing Outside mirrors and vanity mirror have crazing Speedometer reads fast Adjustment of doors and locks We have tried to describe the vehicle as accurately as possible, and have included enough photos. Any questions, please contact us, and we will get back to you as soon as possible. More photos available if needed. |

2014 Volkswagen Beetle GSR is black and yellow, black and yellow
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Way back in 1973, Volkswagen decided it was high time to take the loveable air-cooled Bug racing. No, it wasn't painted in Herbie colors - Volkswagen called its sport-tuned machine the Beetle GSR, "Gelb Schwarzer Renner" or "Yellow Black Racer." Hence, the somewhat shocking paint scheme.
VW is bringing its sporty black and yellow Beetle back for 2014, and you can see live photos of it above. It's got a 210-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine under the hood (that'd be the hood up front, unlike the car's forebear), and a six-speed manual or DSG automatic transmission sends those ponies to the front wheels. Note that this car's output is up 10 horses on other turbo VWs, and the Jetta GLI and Beetle Turbo for 2013. The 0-60 run takes 6.6 seconds, and top speed is limited to 130 miles per hour.
Besides the in-your-face black and yellow paint, the GSR is outfitted with a large rear spoiler and 19-inch wheels shod with 235/40 tires. The bee-like hue carries over inside, with yellow stitching on black leather. Only 3,500 will be produced, each with its own unique plaque. Pricing has not yet been announced, but you're free to read through the press release below all the same.
YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.
Volkswagen's 261-mpg hand-built XL1 headed for Geneva
Thu, 21 Feb 2013After years of rumors, development and testing, the Volkswagen XL1 is finally about to become a reality. The project that began life as a daring 1-Liter concept car in 2002, will finally get its production-ready curtain call at the Geneva Motor Show in just a few weeks.
As soon as it hits the streets, the two-seat XL1 will instantly become the most fuel-efficient and most aerodynamic production car in the world. The car uses a plug-in hybrid system to achieve mind-blowing consumption of just 0.9 liters of diesel fuel consumed every 100 kilometers (and average of roughly 261 miles per gallon). Plus, the XL1 can go up to 50 kilometers on its battery power alone. Coefficient of drag is a miniscule 0.189, thanks to a tiny frontal area and an obviously slippery shape.
XL1 power comes from a two-cylinder diesel motor connected to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, while the 20 kW electric motor is fed by a lithium-ion battery. Both combine to give the XL1 performance figures that are, while not stirring, not shabby considering its extreme frugality: 0-62 miles per hour comes up in 12.7 seconds and top speed is nearly 146 mph.
