Some very minor scratches, dings, and cracks. I have more pictures of the under carriage. Smoke free as it is a business. Runs and drives great. Odometer reads 49042, but I don't know if the OD has rolled. I replaced the original 1.7L engine in 2011 with an 1.8L. New brakes. Good radio. Good electrical.

Restoration and espresso stand conversion in 2010. Fully operational. Good for events or daily route. The business is set up to run on a 120v 25amp breaker. Just plug it into a standard wall receptacle.

Set up has water pump to maintain water for espresso machine, sink, and pitcher washer. 20 gallon fresh water tank and 20 dirty tank. Also comes with stock of cups, lids, straws, syrups, pumps, milk pitchers, shot glasses, stir spoons, sugar packets, etc.

This Bus is a major eye catcher. Anywhere we went people wanted a drink. We used it for events only, but it could easily do a daily route. We served hot drinks in the morning and cold drinks in the afternoon.

We've taken this to car shows, art festivals, sand castle events, music festivals, pumpkin patches, and tree festivals. We took our son along too. He'll ask quite often when were taking the coffee bus somewhere. We would make him a "special coffee", which was steamed milk and vanilla syrup. He loves them. We are selling it because our financial circumstances have changed. We started it when my wife and I were out of work. It made us quite a bit of money. However, now she's working full time as a college instructor and I'm working full time as a store manager. We hope someone can have as much fun as we did.

GM outsold VW globaly in first quarter, Toyota reports numbers next week

Thu, 18 Apr 2013

General Motors released its first quarter sales figures this week, reporting that it sold 2.36 million cars and trucks worldwide. That figure represents an increase of 3.6 percent when compared to the same period last year. GM's growth was attributed to many factors, including global Cadillac sales that were up 26 percent and Chevrolet posting a one percent increase over last year (this marked Chevy's tenth straight year of record global sales).
Volkswagen came in just behind GM, as the German automaker reported global sales from January through March at 2.27 million vehicles, an increase of five percent when compared to last year. While that number was strong, VW is cautioning that markets outside China and the US, such as those in Europe, are becoming a challenge as economies falter.
Yet to report sales is Toyota, current holder of the global world sales crown (the Japanese company sold 9.75 million cars last year, against 9.29 million sold by GM and 9.1 million vehicles sold by VW). Even though GM and Toyota both say they don't care who sells the most units, it is unquestionably a strong bragging point and sales equate to revenue. That said, Toyota will report its first quarter numbers next week.

Tanner Foust checks out his new VW Beetle GRC rally car

Thu, 11 Sep 2014

Racing driver and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust is a very busy guy. After all, he's competing in rounds of both Global Rallycross series and FIA World Rallycross Championship, not to mention his TV duties. However, we probably shouldn't feel too sorry for him, because his job puts him behind the wheel of some truly crazy machinery.
Case in point is his latest ride in Global Rallycross - the Volkswagen Beetle GRC. The German company claims that this all-wheel drive Bug makes around 540 horsepower from its 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and can shoot to 60 in under 2 seconds. Plus, if this video is any indication, this Volkswagen sounds like a machine gun when throwing revs at idle, and it can do some wonderfully easy four-wheel drifts.
Previously, Foust was driving a VW Polo for Andretti Autosport in GRC, but the team unveiled the look of the Beetle GRC at the Chicago Auto Show. Now, Foust is finally getting to show off his new office to the public, and like VW's tagline for the new car claims, it's way hotter than Herbie.

VW Super Bowl teaser with Jimmy Cliff is like a less-mean Tosh.0 Web Redemption

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Reggae super-duper-star and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jimmy Cliff has been using music to send positive vibes out into the universe for decades now, so its no surprise that his message on behalf of Volkswagen is one of redemption.
Dubbed Sunny Side, this web-spot is VW's warmup of sorts for what promises to be another blockbuster year in the world of Super Bowl commercials. Without giving away the game, the euphonious commercial sees Cliff opening his arms and his heart to some YouTube 'celebrities' that might see courser treatment from the likes of Tosh.0, for instance. We can't help but be reminded of Coca-Cola's legendary 1971 Hilltop spot with the "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" lyric, too.
Enjoy the pre-Super Bowl VW spot below, and don't forget to pay it forward... your karma will thank you. For those of you that just can't get enough of commercial-making magic, we've included a "making-of" video, as well.
