I AM LISTING THIS VW VAN FOR MY UNCLE WHO IS NOT COMPUTER SAVVY. I HAVE NEVER LISTED A VEHICLE, I'M DOING THIS AS A FAVOR. AS YOU CAN SEE MY RATING SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. THIS IS A 1973 VW VAN, PURCHASED BY MY UNCLE IN 1975, YES, HE IS THE SECOND OWNER. THIS VEHICLE IS IN NEED OF A TOTAL RESTORATION OR PARTS USE. WHILE I AM A CAR GUY, I KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT VW'S. HOWEVER, IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, I CAN TRY TO ANSWER OR DIRECT YOU TO CALL MY UNCLE, HE WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO TELL ALL THE DETAILS AND MEMORIES DRIVING THIS VAN. THE VAN HAS BEEN PARKED AND OFF THE ROAD FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. THERE IS APPROXIMATELY 150K ON THE VEHICLE. THE MOTOR IS A BANGIN 63HP, YEARS AGO HE REPLACED THE FACTORY SHORT BLOCK THAT CAME DIRECT FROM GERMANY. THE BLOCK HAS 30K MILES AND THE HEADS HAVE 15K MILES. THE HEADS WERE REPLACED AS YOU PROBABLY WOULD KNOW, SO IT CAN RUN ON UNLEADED FUEL VS. LEADED. I KNOW PEOPLE GO NUTS FOR WHATEVER MAKE, MODEL, CAR, TRUCK WHATEVER IS OUT THERE, SO IF YOU WANT TO GIVE THIS VAN A GOOD HOME AS MY UNCLE WOULD HOPE TO SEE, GREAT.

Volkswagen considering a four-door, four-seat XL1
Fri, 22 Aug 2014According to a report in Autocar, Volkswagen might have more in mind for the XL1 than mining it for advances to grace the next-generation Golf. Aiming to fight the Honda FCEV due for public consumption next year, we're told VW executives have put a four-door, four-seater version of the XL1 - it could be called XL2 - on the drawing board. The impetus is said to come from the top, with VW Group chairman Ferdinand Piëch intent on staying in the deep end of "super-efficent vehicles."
Autocar suspects the necessary changes could raise the weight of the car from 1,749 pounds to 2,068 pounds, which would make it four pounds less than the 2,072-pound Up! we drove a few years ago. Crucially, however, the mag thinks the extra capacity wouldn't change the two-seater's 310-mile-per-gallon rating, with tech tweaks and the aerodynamic benefit of a longer car offsetting the weight. Speculation is that the back seats would be staggered like the fronts in order to maintain the XL1's overall profile.
We recently heard about another XL1 variant that's gone off the radar entirely, the Ducati-engined XLR that we thought we'd see at the Geneva Motor Show and that was said to be going into production, so this one could go the same way. The biggest hurdle to making such an idea a reality, though, could be the price: the current XL1 costs 110,000 euros ($146,116). If VW really is going to compete with the Honda FCEV and the Toyota FCV - $70,000 in Japan - that might be where it wants to start.
VW looking to MAN up, ditch Mercedes van deal
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Unlike 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.
