1971 Vw Baywindow Bus Original Paint & Interior, Rebuilt Engine, No Reserve Van on 2040-cars
Mukilteo, Washington, United States
|
Classic 71 Baywindow deluxe bus with original paint and interior. The 71
baywindow is the favorite of many as it was the last year of the old style
bumpers, tail lights, and type 1 upright motor but the 1st year of the dual port engine with the doghouse fan shroud/oil cooler and power assisted
front disc brakes. For you nostalgia buffs this
bus was produced during the last week of the 1971 model year (July 23rd
1971, the 72 model year started August 1st).
Highlights • Paint/Body/Rust -- 85% Original Sierra Yellow paint is in very good condition, I just got the bus back from having a crunch in left rear corner professionally repaired, a replacement panel welded in for a small rusty area in the drivers floorboard, and the remaining original paint buffed out. Nose and rest of the bodywork and original paint is in very good condition but hey it's a 43 yr old bus and there are some small dents along the sides and in the nose. Undercarriage, dog legs, etc. . . are all in great shape. Way cool skull side view mirrors and roof rack are included, new window rubber front and rear. Cargo floor has been cleaned up and repainted on the inside and is in good shape on the underside. • Interior -- Original black leatherette interior including middle seat (a rarity among buses these days). There are some tears in the original upholstery you can see in the pics but overall in good shape. How often do you find a bus that has the original middle seat? Headliner in good shape as well. • Engine -- Was rebuilt in Oct, 2010 and has less than 7,000 miles since then. Year proper 1600cc dual port with doghouse cooler on a dual relief "AE" case, 1 year only 1971 intake manifold with vacuum pickup for brake booster, and pertronix electronic ignition (replaces the points). Bus runs, drives, and shifts nicely. • Electrical -- Headlights, tail lights, turn signals, interior lights, and horn all work. Battery recently replaced with new one from Costco. • Wheels/Tires -- 15" alloy wheels with newer Federal Formoza 195/65/15s • Recent Service -- Recent work done by reputable local shop includes rear brake job (new shoes, wheel cylinders, hoses, e brake cables, and turned drums), new tie rod ends, and valve adjustment/tune up. • Other -- Clear Washington title, registration good till April 2014. To do list • Drivers window doesn't roll down, the window regulator is in there but I haven't got to finding out why it doesn't work but did buy a new window regulator which is included with the bus (in case it's the regulator). • Brakes work but weren't bled after I got it back from having the rears replaced. $1500 deposit required within 48 hrs. Happy to work with buyers shipping/transport company, meet driver, help load bus, and will even deliver it to 50 mile radius of my current location which would include the port of Seattle for foreign buyers.

VW Golf GTI wrung out by Chris Harris
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Enthusiasts like nothing more than to crucify modern interpretations of their favorite performance models for failing to live up to some imagined ethos. Even the Volkswagen GTI has suffered its fair share of slings and arrows for growing in size and curb weight. Chris Harris recently spent some time with the all-new MK VII GTI to find out if growing up means giving up on what makes the machine so special.
Judging by his comments, Harris certainly doesn't think so. Yes, the new GTI is considerably more comfortable than its predecessors, but that's hardly a bad thing. The multitude of driving modes actually seem to add depth to the car rather than simply try to force one tool to do many jobs, and Harris even finds the machine's electronic power steering tolerable. As a result, Harris goes so far as to call the Volkswagen GTI "one of the best cars to actually own." How's that for high praise? You can watch the video for yourself by scrolling below.
Last VW bus ever made arrives at final destination
Fri, 31 Jan 2014A Brazilian politician tried to save it, unsuccessfully, so the final Last Edition Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi was produced on December 20, 2013 and now resides in a vintage museum at Volkswagen's Commercial Vehicles HQ in Hanover, Germany.
The Volkswagen Microbus was built for 56 years, starting in September 1957. Brazil was the last country still assembling it, but new safety regulations in the country requiring airbags and ABS on all cars spelled the end. When that politician introduced a bill that would pardon only the 'Bus from a death sentence, it couldn't garner the required number of votes for passage. The South American country takes the Kombi production title, though, with 1.5 million of the 3.5 million total made in the home of Copacabana beach and the girl from Ipanema.
The VW Bus is dead. Now perhaps we can turn our attentions to the still-not-totally-settled matter of the Bulli...
Volkswagen says goodbye to Eos, Routan in 2015 updates
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Usually automakers announce changes to their lineup individually on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis, but sometimes it all comes at once - especially when the changes are ones we either expected or might not otherwise notice. That's the path Volkswagen has gone with changes to its US lineup for 2015.
The biggest change is what we already knew: that the new Golf arrives for the 2015 model year, bringing with it the new GTI, Golf R, e-Golf and Golf SportWagen (to replace the previous Jetta wagon). But there are some new details as well.
For starters, Volkswagen has finally confirmed that both the Eos and the Routan - both long rumored to be on their way out - will be exiting this year. The Eos hardtop convertible, pictured above, will linger for one last year, its Sport trim replaced by a new Final Edition with 18-inch wheels, two-tone leather interior and enhanced equipment.
