1979 VW camper

I have the buyers order where it was purchased new in Ft Worth Texas and spent most of its life on west coast making it practically rust free. You can still see the original paint and seam sealant on the undercarriage and wheel wells, around windshield, rockers, and even the battery box is original and solid.  There is some surface rust , few pin holes, and a couple of small minor dents that were filled years ago but other than that  the body is in excellent shape.

 I have the receipt for a new long block 2.0 engine that was installed 13k miles ago. Runs great with plenty of power, fresh tune up and oil change, new 55 amp alternator. Clutch works smooth 4 speed tranny shifts great. Lights, turn signals, and wipers all work,  doors open and shut good, windows all work properly. Brand new tires with less than 300 miles on them ; she drives great;  brakes are awesome they will stop on a dime. I drive this bus daily with no issues. Odometer shows 46,104  I am assuming it is 146,104.

The interior is clean and neat fold down bed works smooth and has full size bed in pop top. New laminate floor installed in camper area. Baby hammock is there and rear bug shield  Has working sink and propane stove, also has electric fridge but I have not gotten it to work properly and it trips the breaker when plugged in. Will need the canvas replaced on the pop up, white vinyl was removed from wood headliner leaving adhesive residue and has minor amount of moisture that has come thru between the pop tops on the drivers side(see pics). The fuel gauge is not working, starter will drag  occasionally but never fails to start, and it leaks a little oil from the rubber oil filler tube.

I have given you all the good bad and ugly about this classic bus so you can bid with confidence. You are welcome to come drive and look at bus anytime or you can call me with any questions at 270-491-0763. I have many  more pictures and some videos if you need them just ask I will be glad to get them to you.

I prefer local pick up but will work with a shipping company to get this bus to your location as long as you arrange it and pay them directly. $500 deposit required thru pay pal with remainder paid at time of pick up in cash, or wire transfer for buyers requiring shipping. This is a 33 year old bus so there is no warranty or returns. Thanks for looking and don't miss out on this very solid bus with loads of potential for fun or investment.

Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow

Thu, 17 Jan 2013

A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.

Volkswagen formally introduces super-efficient XL1

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Lightweight and low drag are hallmarks of great sportscar design. But when paired with a super-efficient, hybrid powertrain, you have the Volkswagen's XL1 that has been formally introduced in Geneva today.
When the 1,700-lb, carbon-fiber-bodied two-seater hits the road, its claimed 261 miles per gallon will make it the world's most-fuel-efficient production car. Though "production car" might be a stretch since VW said in a February press release that the XL1 would be built using "handcrafting-like production methods." We translate that to mean you won't be seeing many of these cars on the road. Though no one at VW has mentioned pricing yet, early rumors suggested a six-figure price tag.
That's supercar budget for a vehicle that has a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder diesel engine and a 27hp electric motor. With numbers like that, owners can expect 0-62 mph times of 12.7 seconds and top speed near 100 mph.
