1971 Volkswagen Camper Bus Pop Top Justin 503-969-5127 Hello again
out there in eBay land. First, I want to
apologize to those of you reading this that are super knowledgeable on the
subject of all things Volkswagen and the Bus or Transporter in particular. While I am a lover and fan, I do not have a
deep history of ownership of these vehicles.
I have had a few come in and out of my life and have enjoyed them, I
just would not consider myself an expert as many of you may be. I do know cars however, and this is a nice
one. I received this
car from a man who had the dreams of owning and restoring it. So he bought a solid candidate.. Thank goodness.. This is a 1971 Camper Pop-Top with a
rebuilt engine and full documentation of a lifetime of service. This Bus had been sitting in a garage for years. It started and ran with a jump but the front
brakes were seized and the paint was chipped and faded. The window seals were old and hard and the
interior was beat and tired. It was very dry though. This is not a rusty old VW scabbed back to life. This is a dry and solid vehicle. He bought the
car and had it towed to a really good body shop. Really good, but really expensive.. The job started out to be reasonably priced,
but soon became completely out of control.
For weeks the process drug on.. The
shop needing this part and this seal and this lens and before long the bill was
the stuff of legend. Or nightmare.. I got the call from the man that he needed
help to figure out what to do. I went to
speak to the shop, and the man showed us some mercy.. It is difficult when you are trying to get
good work done from a perfectionist.
They won’t cut corners, even when they should be cut. Let’s face it, you don’t spend 12k painting a
1971 VW Bus unless you have a pile of cash you want to burn through.. We worked out a deal where I sourced all the
seals and parts and bought them wholesale, and he did the work to his
standards. It saved a little and allowed
the man to pay the bill without taking a second out on his home.. We got a
fantastic paint job. Show quality.. I mean wow..
Bring out the judges because it is quite the finished product. New window seals new felt new lenses new
glass.. New, new, new.. So, as
backwards as this may sound, the guy didn’t do any of the mechanical stuff
first. Dead battery, frozen brakes, and
a tired interior on a million dollar body.
We had to tow the Bus to my shop and assess what we were going to do
first. 1. Battery, easy done.. 2. Brakes, new calipers and pads done.. 3.
Test drive.. No clutch at
all.. New clutch, resurface flywheel,
full job with new motor and trans mounts done.. Luckily the
car drove perfect after that.. I say luckily
because every light worked, the blinkers, the horn, the gas gage,
everything.. The bus drives perfectly. Solid, no rattles no pulling.. Plenty of power perfect syncros I mean this
Bus is all there mechanically. By this time
the owner was really out of money.. We
did a new wood floor and carpet, but he had no more money for the rest of the
interior. The Camper looks so nice, that
it deserves a beautiful inside too.
Right now it’s totally usable, but my hope is that the buyer keeps with
tradition and does the right thing for this VW.
The seats are all there, but need to be recovered and stuffed. The canvas for the top has some rips in the
material and reeds to be replaced. The
sink is missing if you even want one? The Bus is
almost there.. Its really close.. I think it would be a great project for a
person that maybe does not know a lot about cars, but has an eye for
style.. Finish it how you like and have
a vehicle that fits your personality exactly. I am setting
the reserve very low and I know the Bus will sell the first go around as long
as we all play by these rules. #1. Only bid if you have intentions to buy. #2. Ask any
and all questions before bidding. #3. Please
contact me BEFORE BIDDING if you have zero or negative feedback. #4. This is
an AS-IS sale. I have done my best to
describe it exactly as I see it but it has no warranties or guarantees except a
clean and clear legal title after payment. #5. I will
not accept Pay-Pal for the balance payment of the VW. Pay-Pal is for the deposit only, the balance
must be paid by certified check or wire.
Legitimate and legal buyers only please.
Just be real
and genuine and I will make sure that the winning bidder is happy with his or
her purchase. I have 100% positive
feedback and I plan on keeping that.
Also, I will end the sale for the right offer so don’t wait till the
last second and worry about missing out.
Just call me and we will work out a fair price.. I’m Justin my Phone number is 503-969-5127

VW readying new VR6 with forced induction
Fri, 27 Sep 2013Volkswagen built a stonking, narrow-angle V6 in the 1980s and 1990s that was found in three different generations of the Golf (their performance iterations, obviously), three generations of the Passat, the New Beetle, the Corrado and the Touareg, among other VWs, a spate of Audis, Seats, a Skoda, and even the Porsche Cayenne. It was a sad day when it was announced that it'd be put out to pasture.
Rejoice, though, fans of the venerable VR6, because Volkswagen has a new, modern variant in the works that, according to AutoWeek, features direct injection and can easily be fitted with forced induction. In fact, AW mentions Volkswagen insiders that claim this unit will spawn a production version of the twin-turbo V6 shown on the Design Vision GTI from this year's Wörthersee festival. That unit produced an epic 503 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque.
Don't expect a production unit with that level of power (although it would make a hardy RS4 powerplant), though. In reality, AutoWeek is suspecting anywhere from 340 to 450 horsepower from the new mill. When it arrives at an undisclosed date in the future, it'll likely be found in the Passat and Passat CC as well as the production version of the CrossBlue.
Volkswagen could outsell GM in China for the first time in nine years
Fri, 27 Dec 2013As of the end of November, Volkswagen had sold 70,000 more cars than General Motors in China in 2013, making it appear inevitable that VW will outsell GM there. The feat would return the German brand to the top of chart in China for the first time in nine years, but even the second-place getter won't be complaining too loudly: both automakers sold more than three million vehicles in a market pegged to hit 16 million sales this year.
Volkswagen said it could have sold more cars if it had had more production capacity in China. The arrival of a new-to-China Audi A4, a China-built A3 sedan, the VW Bora and Skoda Octavia, as well as an $18.2-billion-euro investment in the country to construct new factories, means VW should see its numbers grow in 2014. GM's lineup is expanding next year, too, adding four Chevrolet nameplates and two vehicles to its Baojun brand as it tries to get to five million in sales by 2015.
Among other automakers, Ford benefited from good product and woes for Japanese automakers over a territorial dispute with China, outselling Toyota by almost 32,000 units through the end of November. The Ford Focus is China's best-selling vehicle so far this year.
VW budget sub-brand stuck in limbo over VW standards, costs
Sat, 01 Mar 2014Reports in October 2012 claimed Volkswagen had begun investigating the creation of its own budget brand. This came after having failed to purchase Malaysian car company Proton or produce a meaningful partnership with Suzuki, and after watching Renault-Nissan make piles of euro on Dacia and plot the return of Datsun.
For VW, more important than the question of what to call it was how to build it profitably and in a way that didn't damage the VW brand. According to a report in Autocar, a satisfactory answer still hasn't been found. The hurdle is how to hit "'necessary' quality and safety levels" at the price points needed to make the venture worthwhile. At the time of the 2012 report, German outlet Der Spiegel said VW was trying to get prices down to 6,000 to 8,000 euro ($7,784 to $10,379 US), about two thousand to four thousand euro under the price of the VW Up and in line with the cost of a 6,790-euro Dacia Sandero in Germany.
In March 2013, VW announced, "We want to bring a true budget car to the market in China in the foreseeable future," the most concrete move in that direction after years of planning to make a decision. Working with local Chinese maker FAW, it was predicted that the vehicle in question would appear around 2016, but as of November last year a final vote on it needed to wait until this year because "We are still working on the cost side" and profit possibilities for a car that "has to be durable, it has to be precise, it has to be safe."
