Mint Condition ,museum quality 1978 Riviera. Rebuilt 2 fuel injected hydraulic valve motor. Mint interior (all original). I picked this van up from the 2nd owner. The van has only been driven sparingly a couple times a year to family outings and local festivals, and camping / road trips. The van has been garaged since 1978. This van has only 95k original miles. Absolutely ZERO RUST!!! The van looks looks like it just rolled of the show room floor in 1978 say for a few rock ships, minor nicks ect. Both the first and second owners were meticulous when it came to the maintenance and general care and preservation of the van. Garaged since new, no really, garaged since new... One key fits all locks. Stored for many years. Runs, drives, perfect. One of the best, if not the best original Rivieras in the country.... Way to much to list. PAINT/ BODY- 100% Original paint in near mint condition. Sought after Neptune Blue. No paint work ever.... I sand blasted and repainted the bumpers and wheels. Wheels were painted to the factory correct silver finish. Never wrecked. Body and door gaps perfect. This van looks as good as it did when it rolled of the factory floor in 1978. All the pin striping is original on both the body and pop top. The pin stripe colors give it a classic, vintage look. All lenses are perfect. Spotless under carriage. Factory under coating is in great condition. Zero cancer rust POP TOP- The pop top is in great condition, The original canvas is in excellent condition. The screen is in mint condition with no tears.

The Rivieras came with factory front seat covers that match the rear z bed upholstery, The original seat upholstery underneath is in mint condition. All, cabinets are mint, no chips, cracks, scuffs ect., carpet is mint with absolutely no wear. All dome lights, dash lights, camping lights work. Dash is mint with no cracks, mats all look new, pop top in great shape with no rips. Heater works great. All electrical works perfect. Original cup holder and cutting board. Head liner, door panels are mint (the entire interior in mint original condition). The rear bed is a full size bed. One feature unique to the Riviera is that you can fold down one side of the bed so one passenger can be laying down , the other can be in the sitting position. Very nice dual storage bins mounted under the Z bed that are on rollers and slide out. Nice 80's stereo and speakers. Although the stereo (tape deck) is old its sounds great. ENGINE & TRANSMISSION- This bus has only 95,000 original miles. Rebuilt motor and transmission. The 2 liter fuel injected motor that runs perfect with plenty of power. The motor was rebuilt due to the van not being driven on a regular basis so the original owner had replaced engine seals and refreshed the motor while it was out. New fuel filter, repacked wheel bearings, plugs, cap rotor, fresh oil change, new clutch pressure plate, throw out bearing. New muffler, cold start regulator, new engine seal, battery. (Bus runs, drives, shifts, stops perfect.) This bus is ready for cross country driving. OTHER- Brand new tires, all new paint on wheels and bumpers, tachometer, The floor boards look excellent.

The original owners took amazing care of this van. The van has only been driven sparingly since new. This bus has always been garaged since new, no really garaged since new..... Interior is in amazing shape and in mint original condition. This bus is a time capsule that you just don't see every day, NO RUST, no wrecks in over 30 years! 1979 was the last year of air cooled bay windows. 2 liter fuel injected motor. 1978-79 buses with the 2 liter hydraulic motor are the most sought after bay windows due to the power, modern fuel injection, and economical gas mileage. 95k original miles.

Volkswagen Golf R Evo may debut at Beijing Motor Show
Thu, 23 Jan 2014If a report in Auto Express is correct, a lighter, faster brother to the Volkswagen Golf R will be shown to the world at the Beijing Motor Show in April. Said to be called the Golf R Evo, the even harder hot hatch would be unveiled as one of those concepts that's practically a de facto presentation of the genuine thing. The Evo in its name will come from having a carbon fiber roof and CF in the bodywork, lighter wheels, thinner bucket seats up front and a roll cage instead of rear seats.
If there's a power increase, it's been described as "a small bump." However, as the report mentions, if the Jenny Craig regimen can drop 100 kilograms (220 pounds) from the the 3,247-pound weight of the European Golf R, then the Golf R Evo will do about the same damage on the scales as the Golf but have at least 50 more horsepower and 44 more pound-feet of torque.
Since we still don't have the current Golf, this isn't something that should keep you awake even if the 'concept' does become a production model. But it is good to know that the Golf R is really going to start pushing its boundaries.
Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy
Wed, 24 Jul 2013J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.
Volkswagen E-Co-Motion Concept brings electric mobility to the commercial set
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Volkswagen sees a future where the bulk of the world's freight is moved into city centers by train, then offloaded onto a fleet of smaller, light-duty commercial vehicles for final delivery. Those vehicles could wind up looking something like the company's E-Co-Motion Concept that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The EV features a modular underfloor drive unit comprised of a battery, motor and gearbox that can be paired with any number of cab and body configurations to suit a buyer's needs, from a refrigerated box to a standard flat bed.
The E-Co-Motion Concept features a rear-mounted electric motor with 113 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. A standard 20 kWh battery pack provides a driving range of up to 62 miles, while 30 kWh and 40 kWh packs could deliver 93 and 124 miles of travel, respectively.
