1978 Vw Bus Transporter Van on 2040-cars
Aliso Viejo, California, United States

Mostly restored and in excellent condition. Daily driver in southern CA, we take this bus anywhere. No problems on trips, freeway traffic, or beach traffic, ... it runs and drives excellent. Everything works. Strong rebuilt engine, goes up hills and mountains easily, had it done at 122k miles. No rust, all solid original with new paint - original color. When painted I had new rubber seals installed on all windows, and had a new windshield installed. New fuel filter, fuel filler neck/ hoses, etc. Only thing this bus could use is new cushioning in the front seat. The seat is deceiving, it looks great on the outside but the padding is shot. We love this bus but must sell to help finish a home transaction. Will buy another down the road.
- 2.0L engine recently rebuilt by Canyon Porsche/Volkswagen - a premium VW specialty shop in Laguna Beach (40 yrs). All Receipts. - Fuel injected, passes tough CA smog test no problem whatsoever - just renewed registration in June and passed first attempt. - 4 speed manual transmission. - No rust, all original panels. The only bad spot on bus is the battery tray, not visible but has corroded in spots. I put a piece of wood under battery so its secure and works great. - Good quality paint job. - Fuel filler neck, filler tubes, and fuel filter are all new, with new locking gas cap. No gas smell in this bus and safe to drive. - Many new and replaced parts over the years, great overall condition. Bus is listed for sale locally as well as ebay so auction will end as soon as sold. Don't hesitate to make offer or arrange to inspect the bus in person, (949) 362-0068 (does not accept text). Over the last couple years I've had many people want to buy this bus, now I must unfortunately sell it. I will be happy to help buyer with shipper or storing bus for up to a month at my house. Thank you for looking. |

Volkswagen to add 50k jobs by 2018
Thu, 04 Apr 2013Volkswagen still has its eyes set on becoming the top global automaker by 2018, and to get there, it's apparently going to need more boots on the ground. Automotive News Europe is reporting that VW is looking to increase its staff by 50,000 over the next five years - an increase of nine percent - which does not include an increase in its US dealer network.
According to the report, a majority of the growth will come from China where the automaker is also looking to double its production capacity in the same time frame. The Volkswagen Group is already expected to rival General Motors for the top sales spot in China this year, and such a rapid expansion in the region could make a good springboard for sales increases in other countries.
Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki
Tue, 02 Oct 2012Way back in 2004, Volkswagen took umbrage with Suzuki being granted permission to use the nameplate "SWIFT GTi" for a performance variant of its small-car offering (2012 equivalent seen here). Now, eight years and surely some very steep legal bills later, VW has finally dropped its claim against Suzuki.
The General Court of the European Union stated, back in March of this year, that Suzuki's GTi registration could not be confused with VW's "Golf GTI." Volkswagen had appealed that ruling, though has now reportedly called off the dogs. In fact, Germany's Die Welt reports that the appeal has been dead for several weeks now.
This news comes amongst continued arbitration acrimony between the two automakers, all revolving around VW's forced divestiture of nearly 20-percent stake it purchased in Suzuki some two years ago.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
