West Coast Vw Bus, Transporter. Very Little Rust. Drive It Home on 2040-cars
Scottsville, Virginia, United States
|
I bought this bus 11 years ago in Eugene Oregon. I used it as my daily driver for about 4 years. I moved to Virginia about 4 years ago and drove it cross country. Since buying a new car in Virginia the bus has mostly sat. I got the car with 70,000 miles and it didn't run. I had the engine rebuilt and Transmission replaced. It has run ever since. The car has 97,000 miles now. I just put in a new battery, exhaust, fuel filter, and air filters. Car started right up and runs good. I'm sure with a quick tune up it would run even better. All lights and blinkers work. You could drive this home today. The car has surface rust but the underside of the car is great. Before I got the car it had a undercoating put on. That is peeling off now but the factory paint is underneath and looks really good. No welding needed. I had the spare tire mounted on the front for more room in the back. I just had the front seats done. They look brand new. I also bought a rear seat folding mechanism that I was going to install when I did the rear seat. It folds like the older camper beds do. You are welcome to it with the bus. Brakes and tires are good. People tell me the transmission I have is real nice. I'm not sure why but they use them on dune buggies. Second gear goes in at what I think is a funny angle but no grinding feels strong. Cruises on the freeway no problem. I'm selling the bus because I'm moving back to Portland Or and thought it would be nice to leave this clean west coast bus on the east coast for a loving new owner. This car has been to a lot of concerts and cool places around the US. I hope a new owner will have as much fun in it as I have. I don't want to deliver the car but I will consider if it's near by. I have the right to end auction at anytime. It is for sale locally as well. Feel free to ask any Questions.

2015 VW Golf R caught getting a flogging on 'Ring
Wed, 22 May 2013The upcoming version of the Volkswagen Golf R is nearly ready for prime time, if this video of the car flying around the Nürburgring is any indication. The all-wheel-drive R seems to make quick, neat work of the corners we see here, and sounds pretty devilish in the process.
Expectations are that the new Golf R will run a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (what else?), tuned to produce even more than the current car's 256 horsepower. (Some sources have indicated outputs as high as 286 horsepower, with 280 pound-feet of torque. It's still not clear if Volkswagen will bring the six-speed dual-clutch transmission to the US-spec Golf R in this next go-round or if we'll stick to having only... eh... the stick.
In either case - watching the video below will only whet your appetite for the new, highest performing member of the Golf family.
Europeans get first crack at new Golf Variant wagon
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Just last week, when we brought you news of a new Volkswagen Golf variant out and testing in Europe, we had no idea we were being so literal with out description. For it seems that VW has every intention of calling its new Golf wagon, making its Geneva debut, the "Golf Variant."
Odd/interesting sobriquets taken as read then, there's a lot to like about this new small wagon from VW. The Variant will shed some 232 pounds in this generation, and will come to market with two efficient TDI engines. Volkswagen isn't giving us displacement figures for either yet, but we're told the diesels will come with outputs of 110 and 150 horsepower. The 110-hp TDI BlueMotion Varient will be good for a whopping 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle, when mated to the six-speed manual transmission.
The German automaker has brought along an all-wheel-drive 4Motion version of the Gold Variant to bow in Geneva, as well, and a natural gas-burning TGI BlueMotion is said to be "in the pipeline."
Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members.
