1976 Sleek Restored Black Bus - Custom

This restored 1976 VW Bus comes complete with modern upgrades while maintaining the classic heart and soul of the original make. This VW Bus comes freshly restored with the following:  


Engine & Exterior:

This van features a fully rebuilt 1600CC dual carb engine and a new 4-speed manual transmission as of 2011.  The rebuilt engine has less than 7,500 miles!  For stable rides and sway-free cruising a sway bar has been installed underneath.  The windows slide open and close with a latch.  To complete the stylish exterior are 15” BR rims and fitted underneath with custom underglow with multiple lighting sequences and color selections.  


Interior & Seating:

The front and rear headliner are in great condition.  The interior panels have been fitted with sleek black vinyl.  Charcoal black carpet has been layed throughout the van and secured with button fastens. The front dash has been refurbished and does have a small crack next to the stereo deck but it is barely noticeable.  Two custom Black/White Sewfine seats in the front offer a comfortable ride as well as a great look.  The front passenger seat base has been replaced with a camper base enabling it to rotate 180 degrees opening up new possibilities for the rear common area.  The rear common area features a custom made bench behind the drivers seat which folds open to create a bed for those long road trips and life at the beach. The bench is not mounted so it can be taken out if you choose to do so.


Sound System:

Up front I have chosen a Retro RS-Model One deck that matches the dash perfectly.  The lower shelves of the bench house an Alpine PDX-5(4 channel mono powered) amplifier  and an enclosed 250 watt subwoofer.  The van comes equipped with 4 speakers total - 2 enclosed box speakers in the rear and 2 more located on the passenger doors.  All four speakers and the sub are made by Focal audio.  This sound system is sure to blow you away!  Just in case it gets too loud for others on the road, sound dampening strips have been placed throughout the van.


From California to Florida, there’s nothing quite like cruising in this home away from home VW Bus.  With cruising speeds easily in the 60’s, you’ll have no problem hitting the open road in style.  The exterior lighting and sleek black body are sure to turn heads everywhere you roll!

VW to unveil diesel-electric Twin-Up! in Tokyo

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

We've received multiple reports that Volkswagen will be bringing a diesel-electric concept to the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show, set to take place later this month. The car, called the Twin-Up!, is based on the Up! city car, with some sources claiming this is a thinly veiled concept that will eventually enter production.
According to Automotive News Europe, the Twin-Up! will reportedly return 214 miles per gallon on the US cycle by combining an 800-cc, two-cylinder diesel and an electric motor. It will also boast plug-in capabilities, and will be able to cover 30 miles on electric power alone.
Autocar has a more complete picture of the Twin-Up!'s powertrain, though, claiming it's a modified version of the hybrid system found in the Volkswagen XL1. The Twin-Up! will get a more potent, 47-horsepower electric motor to the XL1's 27-hp unit, but will retain that car's 47-hp turbodiesel. The battery pack will also grow, from 5.5 kilowatt hours to 8.6 kWh. Both of these increases are necessary due to the increased weight of the Twin-Up! - it's some 900 pounds heavier than an XL1.

VW redoes A-ha's 'Take On Me' music video

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

Volkswagen has been responsible for its fair share of witty, clever commercials. "Tiny Vader" might be the most popular, but somehow, we think this newest spot will find a big audience. VW delivers not so much a cover, but a reimagining, of 1980s Norwegian pop band A-ha's famous music video for "Take On Me."
The original opens with an animated motorcycle race, which is revealed to be part of a comic book. VW's version replaces the motorcycle with a Passat, which strikes us as an oddly sober choice when there are cars like the GTI and Beetle in VW's portfolio. But never mind that - take a look down below for the entire 46-second spot. For reference, we've also included the original music video. And if you aren't a fan of the musical stylings of A-ha, just think, VW's choice of 1980s music could have been much worse.

VW previews retouched 2014 Touareg for Beijing

Wed, 16 Apr 2014

Volkswagen is in New York this week showing off its new Jetta and Golf TDI SportWagen concept. But in less than a week, the German automaker will be off to China for the Beijing Motor Show, where it will showcase the revised Touareg you see here.
A subtle update on the Touareg that's been on the market in its current form for four years now, the facelifted model features reworked styling front and rear, an updated interior and a host of new technologies to keep it current in the highly competitive SUV market. Among those new features are larger bi-xenon headlights, coasting function, Google Maps integration and a post-collision braking system designed to prevent a second crash.
VW will offer the new Touareg with a variety of engines around the world, but in North America it'll carry over the same six-cylinder powertrain options as the outgoing model: a 3.6-liter V6 with 280 horsepower, a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 with 240 hp (though torque isn't listed, we'd expect around 406 pound-feet, same as last year) and a hybrid that marries a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 to an electric motor that combine to deliver 380 hp.
