I have a great 1970 VW Deluxe Transporter , I purchased from a good friend who is 75 years old . The van had got to the point where is was needing some maintenance and with his age he was feeling like it was time to let it go . I purchased the Van with hopes of having it my daily driver this summer . So I went straight to work on it . I pulled the already good running motor and wanted to reseal it completely . In that process I honed the cylinders and installed new rings . replaced any parts the motor needed .And resealed the entire thing . Including the rear main seal , Installed a new clutch and a different exhaust . The motor is a 1600cc single port , has a brand new generator, and regulator . rebuilt carb. new plugs etc. The transmission is in great shape and shifts smooth and nice as it should . I did a little work on the brakes also . By replacing some wheels cylinders , a brake line and installed new front brake shoes . I also replaced the tires with a new set of 195/75/14 all season radials . For the body condition it has been repainted many , many years ago . But still shines nice and looks good I think . Its in no way perfect and has its bit of character having some chips , a few scratches . and a ding here and there .. But I think its great !! And have way more fun driving an old car that has some character rather than one that's had thousands spend on a new paint job . This bus drives so great its hard to express in words how well it performs . The inside is basically all original , The front seats are in great shape ,as well as the door panels and headliner. The rear seats have some wear and a couple small tears . But nothing a good Mexi Blanket cant cover up .
I Honestly don't want to sell the Bus. Especially after getting all the work done and its driving so good . But I had the opportunity to buy the bus of my dreams recently . And cant keep them all . The Roof Rack and Side step are NOT for sale with the bus . I am using them on my new bus . But for the right price I may include them with the sale ?
If you are looking for a nice solid VW bus that's is ready to drive anywhere now . This is a good one !!

2014 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible gets the R-Line treatment
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Volkswagen just launched the topless Beetle Convertible at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November, but we're already seeing the next step forward in the topless Bug range with this, the R-Line. We'll admit, this treatment falls under the "all show and no go" category, but it's still a pretty potent little cutie.
The R-Line starts with a standard Beetle Turbo Convertible but adds unique 19-inch aluminum wheels on lower-profile tires, LED daytime running lamps and Xenon headlamps. Naturally, there are R-Line badges aplenty both on the interior and exterior, and we must say, the whole package looks pretty darn snazzy.
Pricing has yet to be announced, but when it goes on sale later this year, the hotter convertible will join Volkswagen's growing R-Line portfolio that now includes the CC, Beetle hatch, Tiguan and Touareg.
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.
How VW's hyper-efficient XL1 will influence the next Golf
Mon, 18 Aug 2014In 2007, the European Union mandated fleet average CO2 emissions of 158.7 g/km. For 2015, that figure will drop to 130 g/km, and the target for 2020 is an ambitions 95 g/km. Thanks to some German politicking, that target will be phased in from 2020 to 2024, but it will still apply to 80 percent of passenger cars in that first year. In US miles per gallon, that's the equivalent of going from about 35 mpg to 42 mpg to 57 mpg. The current Volkswagen Golf is rated from 85 g/km of CO2 to 190 g/km depending on model - and zero for the e-Golf, so for the next-generation MkVIII hatch due in 2019, to meet the goal, Volkswagen engineers will need to introduce a bunch of new tricks. According to a report in Autocar, VW be mining its hyper-efficient XL1 for some of them.
Predictions for the next Golf include a variable-compression engine, an electric flywheel and an electric turbo, along with taking greater advantage of coasting. Volkswagen could be getting help from Audi with the electric turbo and variable-compression engine and electric turbo, with Audi already having shown off the former and brand technical boss Ulrich Hackenberg confirming the VW Group is working on the latter. It's possible the flywheel system could also have the mark of The Four Rings: Autocar mentions a British system that Volvo is testing, but the R18 e-tron Quattro racer has been using one for years.
The need for such features is because the company won't be able to net enough future gains from just aerodynamic improvements and advanced materials. As price will be a factor (the regulations are expected to "add hundreds of euros to the cost of building a car"), adding much more aluminum or carbon fiber is an unlikely option. We're told the next generation won't be longer or wider than the current car, and being Europe's most popular model, VW doesn't want to make a big bet on futuristic aero, but the report says the MkVIII will "likely" have "the most aerodynamic treatment yet seen on a production vehicle," the area where lessons learned from the XL1 will truly be seen.
